** I think the special was originally intended primarily as a [[FirstInstallmentWins season one celebration]] more than anything else, which is why they use the Dinozords, the green ranger instead of white ranger and the season one morphing call. Amy Jo Johnson and Jason David Frank were even approached to play Kimberley and Tommy. But both refused and Austin St John wasn't allowed to travel to New Zealand due to his legal troubles, so they had to write out the green ranger and bring in Rocky and Katherine to replace Jason and Kimberley. Assuming that was a relatively late change in production, the renders for the CGI Dino Megazord may have already been done. At that point it makes sense to keep the season one morphing call, because the season three call was tied to the Ninja Zords.

** Another possibility is that revenge had nothing to do with why the morpher didn't work for Minh at first. It could be that it was still bonded to Trini, even after her death. When it bonds to Minh, she has visions of Trini, and it's implied that Trini's spirit is somewhere in the Morphing Grid, and it was somehow responsible for deliberately transferring the bond over to Minh.

** For starters, I've always gone with the belief that different set of ranger powers go by different rules. Even if the Power Morphers will only work for someone who's being entirely selfless, it doesn't mean the Megaforce Silver Morpher is necessarily bound to the same restrictions. Secondly, given that Orion had a vision of the Sixth Rangers when he first found the morpher, it could well be that he had already been bonded to it, as he said, he knew he was destined to find the Sixth Ranger keys. So if he were already bonded, it doesn't matter if he wanted revenge when he finally used it for the first time.

*** It's entirely possible that, with how close the current timeline is to ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'', the older Rangers have some sort of agreement with the government on some level that all they have to do is report Trini died due to Ranger-related activities and her body was vaporized as a result. That agreement likely came into play at or around the same time Lightspeed Rescue was given access to morphing and zord technology, even as early as the Terra Venture colony ship. That being said, Billy's comment about how none of his employees know about the command center being in the basement might put some doubt on this theory. That doesn't mean that they don't know that he's a Power Ranger, just that they don't know that their boss effectively rebuilt the Angel Grove Command Center as a subbasement level to his company.

But since she was unavailable this mission, it meant the Dinozords were the only ones they could use.

To Robo-Rita, her old crew were likely no more important than her monsters of the week.

** Robo-Rita might be Rita's evil incarnate, but she's still ''Rita'', and Rita does have a habit of making her monsters thematic, so it might have been as simple of 'I'm going to make robots' for the heck of it. As for why she didn't make Robo-Putties, probably because she spent a year creating Robo-Snizzard and Robo-Minotaur and her plan involves having an absolutely ''massive'' number of Putties, enough to launch a global invasion, so presumably, she needed to pump out Putties as quickly as possible.

* Why would Rita select Snizard and Minotaur of all monsters to be her generals for her grand time travel revenge scheme? Now, yes, before anyone says anything, the ''real world, behind the scenes'' reason is that Hasbro told the crew to use Snizard and Minotaur in order to tie in with their Lightning Collection figures, but we're talking ''in universe'' here. It makes no sense that she would choose a couple of random MonstersOfTheWeek over two members from her loyal crew of Goldar, Rito, Finster, Scorpina, Squatt, and Baboo. You could give Robo-Snizard's and Robo-Minotaur's respective abilities of "freezing and shrinking Rangers" and "tracking morphed Ranger energy" to ''any'' robo-monster Rita conjured up; it's not as if the original Snizard and Minotaur possessed those abilities. One ''could'' argue that anyone from her old crew failed her too many times before for her liking and that she wanted to make sure this plan was successful, but Snizard and Minotaur had previously failed her so hard that they ''died''. ''Multiple times'', in Snizard's case.
* Why are Snizard and Minotaur even robots to begin with? ''Rita'' is a robot because the body she was resurrected in just so happened to be mechanical in nature, but she was clearly capable of casting regular, non-robotic magic just as her old self was, so why not revive Snizard and Minotaur in their original forms? Alternatively, if Rita went out of her way to make them robotic versions specifically to match her new body ("I'm a robot now, so now all my minions will be robots, too!"), why did she summon plain ol' Putty Patrollers instead of some type of new Robo-Putties?
