Power Rangers: Thunder — Description
And here's the first entry in the new commission series I'm working on. A sort of "What If" scenario. What if, Saban had adapted Dairanger completely, instead of just the "zord" footage. In the mind of my "patron", this is the result. Power Rangers: Thunder!

The old style Power Rangers "lightning bolt" was reused from my Zyu/MMPR mash up a little while back. The main text that says "Power Rangers" is created simply by tracing over the original logo and then recreating the shadows and gradients as best I could.

Though it's hard to make out, the symbol in the background is the one seen on the shoulders of the Thunder Megazord/Dairenoh, as well as in the cockpit of the Thunder Megazord. When I was a child, I had always interpreted this symbol as a stylized "Thunder Bolt" to go with the idea of these being the Thunder Zords. Thus I made sure to include it with this representation. Added triva, the cockpit for Dairenoh is completely different from the Thunder Megazord and does not include this symbol. This is made interesting by the fact that on the American version of the toy, the symbol on the shoulders is replaced by the PR Lightning Bolt. Why go through the trouble of putting it in the cockpit for your original scenes if you're just gonna ditch it in the toy?

As before, these designs are available on my RedBubble store for T-shirts and other merch.
