Why did Mega Force fails on the first front?

That wasn't a problem their problem was not properly planning things out because Megaforce could have worked out well even with 2 Sentai series being used as stock footage for it.

Matts's right. The Command Center was demolished. The connection to the grid was tottally shorted out. Even if Zordom had those powers they would have ben gone or unusealble.

Megaforce and Super could have been awesome if they planned it right. Especially since they used two sentais and could have been so creative with it. Not many PR season had that cushion. Especially with the two sentais being already done. No execuse to slave to Sentai when you know how it all turns out ahead of time

exactly and if they were smart they could have planned it all the way back to Samurai since that is where I would've started the planning at. I would've made it so that Vrak was officially the leader of The Armada and that it was a subdivision of Dark Specter's old United Alliance of Evil which the Nighlok were part of until the previous Samurai Rangers had sealed Xandred away. I would have still killed off Dayu and Deker (not in the same way as the show though) but instead of Xandred and Serrator being destroyed I would have had it so that Lauren would succeed in sealing them away.
The Samurai Rangers would then go their own way. The Warstar would come in like shown but Malkor and Creepox would actually be defeated close to one another instead of saving Malkor until later in the season but they wouldn't be destroyed they would just be in hiding. Vrak would take over things for the time being and he would find Bigs and Bluefur and of course the 2 mutants will eventually be defeated and go in hiding. Vrak builds Metal Alice and the Messenger comes and everything there plays out like normal except for the Mega Rangers finally destroying Malkor, Creepox, Bigs and Bluefur and of course they destroy Metal Alice and Messenger as well or so they think in the case of Metal Alice and Messenger.

The United Armada arrives as shown in the series and the Legendary Morphs that we see are only the true Ranger Morphs that we actually physically do have in the series. Some morph sequences are reshot such as the ones in the RPM tribute(s) since they wouldn't fit with the actual morph sequence that the respective Ranger team had used in the series.

The Legendary Battle happens but not in the same way that we saw in the season.
Emperor Mavro and Vekar were seemingly destroyed previously but Vrak brings them back to life. Vrak was hiding out previously in Panorama City so he resurrects Xandred as well but instead of saving Xandred around he absorbs his energy which kills them and gives Vrak a Nighlok form. He also resurrects Serrator and steals his energy and because Serrator is such a dark villain it gives Vrak another form to use as well a very dark one but Serrator still remains alive because he had stolen the last of Octoroo's life force and because of which that killed Octoroo.

Vrak splits himself into his various forms because of how powerful he's become so now the battle is currently his Warstar Form, his Mutant Form, his Cyborg Form, his Armada/Prince/King/Emperor Form, his Nighlok form and his Dark Form as well as Mavro and Vekar.

Metal Alice and Messenger are also rebuilt.

Vrak has also recruited all of the various foot soldiers that he could find in the various underworlds and dimensions (Putties, Z-Putties, Tengas, Cogs, Piranhatrons, Chromites, Quantrons, Craterites, Stingwingers, Swabbies, Batlings, Cyclobots, Putrids, Red Putrids, Kelzaks, Kelzak Furies, Tyrannodrones, Triptoids, Krybots, Blueheads, Orangeheads, Hideaks, Styxoids, Lava Lizards, Chillers, Rinshi, Grinders, Loogies, Moogers, X-Borgs, Bruisers, Royal Guard.

Because of this all of the Ranger teams have shown up on the hill as you could see in the episode but there are no missing members for any of the teams.

All members of the Megaforce Rangers acknowledge at least one of the Ranger teams.

Gia acknowledges the Mighty Morphin Rangers.
Emma acknowledges the Alien Rangers.
Orion acknowledges Zeo.
Noah acknowledges Turbo.
Jake acknowledges Space.
Troy acknowledges Galaxy and Lightspeed.
Gia acknowledges Time Force and Wild Force.
Emma acknowledges Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, SPD and Mystic Force.
Noah acknowledges Overdrive.
Jake acknowledges Jungle Fury.
Gia acknowledges RPM.
Troy acknowledges Samurai.

All of the teams come down to meet with the unmorphed teens face-to-face as well as Robo Knight coming by.

Robo Knight and Troy have their little reunion with Robo Knight explaining that he wasn't destroyed previously since he snuck into his Zord Form at the last second which the Ranger Key that represents his power don't reflect on.

Tommy explains that they're there to fight by their side and to help them out in this grand battle. By using the Morphin Grid as well as some help from Circuit, Logan, Alex and Dr. K he was able to call on the forces that he used to use himself as powers so all powers could be represented in the battle.

Ninjor, Auric and Blue Senturion also arrive. Phantom Ranger arrives as well.

That is when the battle begins but not before you see the scenes that you saw in the actual episode itself with each of the actors that returned holding their helmets in front of themselves and each one has a line that references their previous history with one of their seasons.

Jungle Fury uses the Spirit Rangers in their fight for a little added assistance.
Orion uses the Ranger Gold and Silver Key in the battle for some assistance as well.

After the battle they bid their good byes and they teleport out (for the ones that can teleport out) and for the ones that can't teleport out they just walk/run/rush out... except for Ninja Storm since they can Ninja Streak out.

That would be awesome! But if you are gonna plan in that far in advance, why not have the same Ranger team from Samurai to Super Megaforce? Instead of having the Samurai Rangers be from Samurai families just have them be high school kids like Megaforce really did. Then you can start fresh with Dino Charge.

[Captain Codfish]

I don't think they knew they were doing Gokaiger so soon when they did Samurai. Samurai came together quick after the buyout. So it would have been tough for them to plan like that.

I accept actually loved Super Megaforce. I think "Legendary Battle" was handled perfectly. Its my favorite episode ever.

[Sentai Is Forever]

I would have rather got a full year of the two sentais rather them condense them into two small seasons. I do like that they stuck pretty close to sentai when they could. "Legendary Battle" thrilled me as a sentai fan.They should have had it in the beginning of the season like Gokaiger though.

it would make sense using the same Rangers from Samurai but then again it wouldn't have at the same time. Them being High Schoolers just wouldn't work with how heavily Japanese the footage was.
