But any way it's argued, this is a first. Heck, Bandai of Japan didn't even release a DekaSwan toy. This is a female sixth that will be treated as any other sixth.

I agree, im not saying Kat isn't apart of the team but surely when sentai made her female they thought lets have a female extra ranger we've never done that before. If your going to say kat is always a team member you may aswell say that for every helper ever

Power Rangers RPM.....
hmmmm *thinks* idano, saying it just sounds weird...and putting that into a theme song just wouldnt work.
Everytime i repeat it, it just sounds like next years rangers will be a hospital based squad lol.

"Yellow Ranger i need 20 CC's of RPM now!"

im just not seeing it, maybe this is just a working title, kind of like how they were going to call Operation Overdrive "Drive Force" till they changed it at the last min. Which im more then sure they will change "RPM" again.

R.P.M. is the final title. The logo should be available next month at the Licensing Show.

I still think that Grand Prix is more suitable of a name.

Agreed. I'm still curious as to what else R.P.M. will stand for. BUT, I heard that they're trying to steer away from the racing theme (which IMO would be somewhat of a disappointment). I was looking forward to a racing theme series.

[DaiOzzyTM]

I dont think grnad prix as they aren't really racers, they got a big blue lorry zord, but i think they could do better than RPM

[PowerOnyx]

Why not? Grand Prix is what Go-Onger tags its episodes.

I just don't want another Turbo.
