Should they have done a much different theme with turbo?
 

Carranger just did didn't work as straight up adaption. We saw them turn Megaranger, Gingamen, and Go-Onger into much different series. I think they should have did something different with rhe Tuebo adaption. It didn't have to be as expensive as RPM or Lost Galaxy.

This would have been a good idea. Cars are so general that you could have got away with anything. I would also wrkte Tommy off at the end of Zeo.

I think a lot of the issues people had with Turbo in the first half were addresed by the second half. It was just hard for people to see sice they were still getting over the cast change.

Yes it was pretty shocking to lose all the old favorites so quickly. For the most part most of the cast changes were one by one up to that point. Even the season 2 cast change cushioned things with the slow intro of Rocky, Adam, and Aishia. Plus you still retained Tommy, Kim, and Billy. Justin wasn't gonna cut it as the soul survivor of the Turbo Cast. We also didn't get all that much of Cassie and Carlos beforehand.

The Turbo cast changed just took Tommy and co away. It was especially jarring with Tommy who was such a focal point for the serkes up to that point It also seemed anti-climatic for him to just leave after everything his character had been through. Every other time they seemingly was wrlten him off he came back. And now he was leaving to become a racecar driver?

I think Billy should have been the Phantom Ranger.

I would have liked something closer to MMPR or Zeo.

Introduce the new cast in T:APRM. Still have Justin replace Rocky and instead of Jason and Kimberly being kidnapped, the ones that are offered as a sacrifice to Maligore are Cassie, T.J., Carlos and Ashely. Give the four some backstory in the "Shift Into Turbo" three-parter and have Zeos reconsider their priorities. After some fillers, bring back Jason and Kimberly for the involvement they had in the movie, thus ending the plot of Tommy, Kat, Tanya and Adam to go back to their normal lives. "Passing of the Torch" is the end of that storyline. Justin, T.J., Cassie, Ashely and Carlos become the Turbo Rangers and the Millennium Message plot plays out better than it did. Robo Racer is introduced later in the season, after the new Rangers arrive. The oldies are kept as recurring characters and are seen pursuing their life goals & dreams. Gasket and Archerina come back for one last rumble so new Turbos invite the Zeos for one last fight, resulting in a official crossover between Zeo and Turbo which ends with the defeat of the two villains. After the crossover fight, a filler episode in a montage confirms the Kat and Tommy relationship and him signing up for a college (not shown which one, but eventually results in and then confirming him becoming a paleontologist and a science teacher later in PRDT), Tanya as the head of the radio station she works at and Adam becomes a professional soccer trainer.

For the rest of the season, instead of US Elgar and Porto, use the Sentai versions of the costumes, make Divatox more like Lord Zedd before he married Rita and make Turbo actually a serious season and a decent sequel to Zeo.

If they followed that plotline or something close to it, the season would have been much better. And perhaps a true sequel to Zeo.

Re: Should they have done a much different theme with turbo?
 

Cars kinda go with anything. Look at what they did to Go-Onger. The only complicated part would be how the suits clearly have a car theme. But if RPM can get around talking zords, they could get around that.

I don't think they were ready for this type of innovation. Remember Sloan ane Levy had more power in the first half. But the second half Jonathon and Lynn were firmly driving the ship. The same team in charge of Space and Galaxy. We did see more innovation in the second half. I think the show was a season away from being able to do the innovation the op is asking for. As evidenced by Space just happening a year later.
