* Why go back and adapt ''Gobusters'' instead of adapting ''Zyuohger'' or ''Kyuranger''? In the case of ''Kyuranger'', it's probably because it would be rather hypocritical to switch toy companies from Bandai to Hasbro and immediately turn around and adapt a Sentai made with involvement from Bandai of America. As for both? ''Gobusters'' was the last season whose [[{{Mooks}} henchmen]] could not have been aliens had the series been adapted. If Saban had adapted ''Zyuohger'' or ''Kyuranger'', they would've had the villains be aliens for the ''5th''[[note]]7th if you count ''Super Ninja Steel'' and ''Super Dino Charge'' as separate seasons[[/note]] time in a row! And as for why ''Gobusters'' and not ''Toqger'', which was also skipped? Saban's contract with Nickelodeon is for 3 more seasons. It's entirely possible that the franchise will do a ChannelHop in the middle of a ''Toqqer'' adaptation if Saban follows up a ''Gobusters'' adaptation by adapting another sentai OutOfOrder!
* Toy-related example: A ''Gobusters'' adaptation was unlikely while Bandai made the toys, mainly due to the fact that allegedly, the suits in ''Gobusters'' were made to be more akin to those worn by American super heroes (which used leather), including those worn by heroes from Franchise/MarvelComics... the action figures for which are made by, you guessed it, Creator/{{Hasbro}}.

* The names of Evox's monsters follow the same pattern as used in ''Go-Busters'', such as "Tireloid" becoming Cycletron. While this isn't the most creative, and lacks the on the nose puns of past seasons, it makes sense for Evox to give his monsters these names; they're practical and fit their purpose. This can extend to the Rangers with how their Morph Call is "Activate Beast Power" which doesn't quite sound very catchy. For Grid Battleforce, it's straight to the point without any real need for anything fancy.

* Seeing real-world cities like UsefulNotes/{{Philadelphia}} and UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} with Morph-X towers in them. Evox could've easily sent his forces to attack in these and other places, and nobody there could've done anything to stop them -- it would probably take the Rangers a while to get there, and by the time they did, who knows now many people could be injured or killed, buildings destroyed or damaged, etc.? Not to mention, this is as the point where Evox was revealed to be Venjix reborn, so it underscores the stakes -- if he isn't stopped ''now'', he'll destroy those cities just like he did on his Earth, and probably cause the Apocalypse all over again.

* On the surface, Evox[[spoiler: /Venjix]]'s [[EvilIsBigger final form]] being taken down quickly [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot seems like a waste]], considering there was a whole big fight scene with Messiah Reboot in ''Go-Busters''. But the thing is that you ''know'' what that form can do and realize that it's imperative to stop Evox[[spoiler: /Venjix]] as quick as possible. They even gave a rational justification for it: unlike the Go-Busters, who merely fought Messiah defiantly and scored a lucky hit, the Beast Morphers didn't beat around the bush and actually came up with a plan of attack. It may not be flashy, but it is effective. It was also established in the prior episode that Evox made himself immune to all of Grid Battleforce's weaponry, so the Rangers already knew that using conventional weapons was pointless. It's also fitting that Evox went out on a smaller Zord battle, given his history...

*** Though Bandai’s high end collector line Tamashii Nations does make Marvel Cinematic Universe figures, however these tend to be limited to Japan (outside of conventions and specialty stores) due to Hasbro having U.S. rights to the figures.
** Another reason to go back to Go-Busters is because it would be better for Hasbro to start with a more traditional Sentai as well as a smaller toyline to "get their feet wet" and to minimize risk. The Kyuranger line is likely backburnered for now.
** With the Zords this season, most of them have an animal mode and a vehicle mode. Making a toy that can do that is right up Hasbro's alley since they have plenty of experience with the Franchise/{{Transformers}} line. In fact, pretty much the entire toy line is transformable: the gun and sword weapons the main trio have turn into a camera and binoculars respectively, gold and silver's morpher is both a cell phone and a gun, their sword turns into a wheel for their Zords, and the controls for the lion based Zord later on turns into a cannon too.
** Rumor has it that this season will not have a second Super season followup. It makes sense, though. Go-Busters has no collectible gimmick beyond the usual stuff like ranger figures, morphers, weapons, and zords (for comparison, ''Samurai'' has the discs, ''Megaforce'' has the cards and ranger keys, ''Dino Charge'' has the dino chargers, ''Ninja Steel'' has the ninja stars, and heck, Go-Busters only had two auxiliary zords). Opting for a shorter run is much better. That way, they don't have to pad out the season with filler episodes to get to the next toy. This could indicate that the "3 more seasons with Nick" contract that Saban has, is for 1 season of Go-Busters, and 2 seasons of something else.
*** Jossed; there will be a second season. Though it's been confirmed that it won't actually be called "Super Beast Morphers".

* Mayor Daniels mentioning [[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge Sledge]] despite his machinations being done in an alternate dimension makes sense with how the Poisy Show had him attempt an attack in the main universe. With the transporters being able to reach other dimensions, I wouldn't be surprised if Grid Battleforce was wary of threats outside their world.
** Not to mention, they're harnessing the power of the Morphing Grid, which is known to span across multiple universes. They could've taken a glimpse of what happened on the seasons that take place in a different dimension like ''RPM''.
* The names of Evox's monsters follow the same pattern as used in ''Go-Busters'', such as "Tireloid" becoming Cycletron. While this isn't the most creative, and lacks the on the nose puns of past seasons, it makes sense for Evox to give his monsters these names; they're practical and fit their purpose.
** This can extend to the Rangers with how their Morph Call is "Activate Beast Power" which doesn't quite sound very catchy. For Grid Battleforce, it's straight to the point without any real need for anything fancy.

* The reasoning for the Red Ranger's weakpoint (Cheetah = cat = afraid of dog) may seem like a simplistic, unscientific explanation meant for kids. However, ranchers and farmers in Africa do, in fact, use [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livestock_guardian_dog guard dogs]] to scare predators like cheetahs away from their livestock (it's actually beneficial for the predators too, as the ranchers don't have to shoot them. In fact, there are wildlife conservation programs that sponsor guard dogs.)
** There's also the fact that many dogs resemble [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_hyena spotted hyenas]], which commonly chase cheetahs off their kills. Hyenas aren't actually dogs (genetically speaking, they have more in common with cats), but the physical resemblance to dogs might be enough for a dog to trigger a response.
** Also the fact that Evox himself doesn't seem to be aware that these weaknesses exist likely means they were an unintended side effect of his presence in the Morph-X system, rather than deliberate sabotage. Therefore, any logical problems with the Ranger weaknesses can be {{Handwaved}} away as being random mutations.
** In addition to that, Zoey and Ravi only experiences their respective weakpoints by overusing their powers. Naturally Devon being a gamer means he knows when to reel in his powers. But when he sees a dog, naturally his Cheetah DNA triggers his fight or flight response against Devon's better nature so his powers unconsciously overclock itself.
** This can also be interpreted as a real life equivalent of a logic error. Devon knows the dog is harmless, but his Cheetah DNA says it's a threat, and thus because his body don't know which is the right response, it shuts down.

* After the first episode, the Blaze and Roxy Avatars "glitch" less and less. They stop glitching at all in Episode 5. While the obvious explanation is that the show is saving money on CGI, the in-story explanation could be that the Avatars have sufficiently "adapted" to the outside world.
** Though they're still shown glitching, particularly after a battle which implies that there are still moments of destabilization.
* While they can't call the BigBad "Messiah", there are still some religious connections to it. Evox is a snake, and a snake is well known for seducing Eve and knocking her and Adam out of the Garden of Eden (or in this case Roxy and Blaze). But what was the apple? ''Morph-X'' because the idea of making an energy source from the Morphing Grid was essentially the good guys tying up the Morphing Grid up "with a ribbon" for the bad guys.
** Also, Steel being based on a scarab is a sign of ''Egyptian'' mythology. Scarabs were the signs of rebirth and one of the major symbols of Ra. Ra's major enemy was Apep who was, guess what, a snake!

* Blaze and Roxy utilizing their Morph-X Keys to teleport could be counted as similar to the Rangers' Transporter but with some alterations courtesy of Evox's infection.
** Scrozzle would be able to replicate it for his own use considering how his Gigadrones can be transported out to the main universe. Odds are that he used the Gigadrone teleportation across the Cyber Dimension in his takeover.
* At the end of episode 20, it's highly implied that Evox managed to infect Mayor Daniels to escape into the human world. How can a computer virus do such a thing? If you recall, Evox did succeed in corrupting 2 humans and making avatars out of them, and he also almost managed to take over a half-human body. By that point, he should have the skills to jump into a real human host, since he's had enough experience dealing with them.
** It's also implied that it's a fraction of Evox since the Morph-X tower's explosion clearly hit him hard and took him down physically. However, a part of him clearly rode the shock wave through the Cybergate when Mayor Daniels was waiting for Devon. It's just enough to not be rejected by the human body yet not powerful enough to fully infect it. For now.

** It should be noted that neither of these Gigadrones have been officially named. The Power Rangers Wikia refers to them as "Unidentified Gigadrone 1" and "Unidentified Gigadrone 2".
* Steel being out and about in Coral Harbor without drawing concern makes sense considering that he's with Nate, a known child prodigy from Grid Battleforce. Anybody with GB's clearly not a Robotron and soon enough, Steel becomes part of the community.
** Not to mention, since the series' continuity established itself in the prime ''Power Rangers'' universe and not alternate dimensions like ''RPM'' and ''Dino Charge'', one must remember that the [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel previous season]] has Redbot walking out and even become a famed author where nobody gives a damn about him being a robot. This makes it clear that in ''Power Rangers'', so long that they aren't posing as a threat, then robots (and possibly other non humans) are accepted into the community.

** Why didn't Evox suggest Venjix (someone who actually destroyed the world) as a subject of the reanimizer? Cause he ''is'' Venjix. On that note, that would explain the need for his underlings to look up and suggest villains to bring back with the reanimizer. Evox is not from this dimension.
*** There's also another subtle bit to it. If you look closely, you'll notice that Venjix's club-staff is not among the villain weapons in Ryjack's collection.

* Meta: Steel was originally built to become Evox's new vessel but became the fifth Beast Ranger instead. In RPM, Dillon, the fifth Ranger of the group, was originally planned by Eddie Guzelian to be Venjix's final vessel come that season's finale before Chip Lynn replaced him mid-way.
** Another piece of meta brilliance. Andrew Laing used a pseudonym during his time as Evox to hide the reveal. That name was Randall ''Ewing'' (Dillon was played by Daniel Ewing).

* Doctor K knowing of Xenowing splitting from Doomwing seems a bit convenient until you consider that she might've been seeking out ways to separate Hybrids like Dillon and Tenaya to make them fully human only to come up dry across dimensions.
** Also, "Dimensions in Danger" implied that the Ranger teams in the three Dimensions (Prime, RPM, and Dino Charge) share intelligence with each other on a regular basis.

* On the surface, Evox's [[EvilIsBigger final form]] being taken down quickly [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot seems like a waste]], considering there was a whole big fight scene with Messiah Reboot in ''Go-Busters''. But the thing is that you ''know'' what that form can do and realize that it's imperative to stop Evox as quick as possible.

** It was also established in the prior episode that Evox made himself immune to all of Grid Battleforce's weaponry, so the Rangers already knew that using conventional weapons was pointless.
*** It's also fitting that Evox went out on a smaller Zord battle, given his history...

* While they did send Blaze and Roxy to the Cyber Dimension the Rangers and Nate accidentally sent Evox with them. With the small amount of time they had, they only sent them ''as far away as possible'' which meant they could have been sent anywhere. Including [[Series/PowerRangersRPM Corinth]] where there is an active war against another sentient computer virus.
** Not necessarily. If ''Megaforce'' is to be believed, it's been several years since Venjix was defeated.
*** Becomes fridge brilliance when it's revealed that Evox ''is'' Venjix, meaning that the RPM rangers would know full well how to defeat him.

* In season 2 episode 2 ''Save Our Shores'', Blaze and Roxy are scanned by Scrozzle in order to recreate their avatars as robots. When the rangers tell them this after fighting the robots, the pair is understandably horrified. Remember, they both have the memories of their avatars. They know how dangerous they were. And they don't have any kind of link to their robot selves, so for all they know, the robots are far stronger than they were as avatars. Who ''wouldn't'' be freaked out by that?
** Not to mention the sheer potential for identity theft, fraud, and defamation the robots can do to the 2 of them. Evox already did it with Mayor Daniels, so who's to say the robots won't do the same with Blaze and Roxy.

* When the villains discuss which classic villain should be reanimated, all four of the proposals prior to Goldar were rejected because they backstabbed the villains in [[DragonWithAnAgenda one form]] or [[HeelFaceTurn another]]. However, there are also two more reasons that weren't brought up, namely that they're debating on which villain to ''reanimate''. Lord Zedd, Astronema, and Koragg are all still alive while Psycho Red is technically still alive in the form of his data card. The second reason? When he was Venjix, three of his generals (Shifter, Kilobyte, and Tenaya) betrayed him on separate occasions - twice in Tenaya's case. Tenaya's second defection led to his defeat at the hands of the RPM Rangers. As the villain with the final say, he'd rather nip it in the bud. With this in mind, Goldar makes a lot more sense, as not only was he deceased and thus can be reanimated, but that he [[RedemptionRejection rejected a chance at redemption]] for his wings. A shoe-in pick for sure.
* Goldar looking different after being brought back at first seems like an AssPull to just use ''Kyoryuger vs Go-Busters'' footage without explaining why he looks different (''Kyoryuger vs Go-Busters''' villain is a construct of ''Zyuranger's'' bad guys that just happened to look like Grifforzer). It's only when you remember that Scrozzle used diamonds to power up whoever they decided to reanimate. Without going out and saying it, it can be assumed Goldar was altered because using the diamonds changed his appearance.

* What exactly did Scrozzle do during the year that passed between Evox's defeat and his capture? It's highly unlikely he spent all that time just hiding. Considering his technical genius, he could have quite a few cards up his sleeve that he's just waiting to play...

* Unlike the last time Venjix was created and set his goal in motion, he doesn't succeed as Evox. This is because the main universe has plenty of Power Rangers, and is where the Morphing Grid towers are located. He came from a dimension in which there were little confirmed Power Rangers prior to RPM, and his creator is a kidnapped and indoctrinated child who was in a project from an organization that doesn't give a damn about murdering their own scientists to keep it's reputation, in addition to the lies (They let Venjix become as much of a threat as he was after all). The fact they got away with it for so long implies it was a CrapsachrineWorld long before Venjix took over. The rebirth as Evox happened merely by accident, and in an environment with an organization that is fully good. So when Evox is confirmed to be a threat, they do everything they can to eliminate it with the newest of Power Rangers. On two occasions, they even have help from the originator Dr. K, who has already learnt from the past mistakes.

* [[spoiler: Colonel Truman helping Ben and Betty capture Scrozzle after Evox/Venjix's final defeat has a bit of symbolism to it, in that ''Beast Morphers'' tied up a loose end from ''RPM'', so ''RPM'' repays the favor by tying up a loose end from ''Beast Morphers''.]]

* [[spoiler: Evox's end at the hands of Morph-X infused with human DNA is karmic on so many levels when you consider that he drove humanity to the brink of extinction in RPM, even creating hybrids. Now? The very essence of their genetics and the very power he had sought after all season(s) becomes his ultimate undoing.]]

* [[spoiler:Any robotron built by Scrozzle always have a personality, being talkative and animated. However, when Evox resurrects them in the last two episodes, they all lack personality and are all mute. This could just be chalked up to the production team not seeing the need to voice those robotrons again, until you realize that making mute bots without any personality that does its job straight to the point is exactly what Venjix would do.]]
* [[spoiler:Venjix appearing on the first season of the Hasbro era might be a coincidence, but then you recall that, with the exception of Dino Charge ([[AlternateUniverse for good reason]], though Colonel Truman's actor did appear to play a different character), every Neo-Saban season had at least one crossover, particularly one with an RPM representative, and that the last Saban ran season prior to Samurai had its Red Ranger destroy someone who ''also'' had the name of Venjix. Then remember how the Disney era only had four crossovers, with only one of them involving Rangers from throughout the history of Power Rangers. It's the case of Venjix being GenreSavvy, waiting out the Neo-Saban era and striking the moment the franchise was out of Saban's hands... [[DeathByGenreSavviness Only to realize too late]] that the second season was laden with crossovers, especially one from the RPM universe.]]

* The logo "V" on Evox's Cybervillains was initially looked like a leftover of ''Beast Morphers''[='=]s source inspiration as the major villain faction, Vaglass and originally held no real meaning. [[spoiler:Or so everyone thought. By the time season 2 draws near its end, said logo eerily becomes a {{Foreshadowing}} to who Evox really is]].

* After the reveal of [[spoiler:Evox's true identity as Venjix]], a lot of things start to make sense in hindsight:
** Evox's raspy, guttural voice isn't just the typical voice for a bad guy in a kids' show. For most of his run, [[spoiler:Evox is incomplete. It took him absorbing the rest of Venjix's data to come to full power, including having his original voice back]]. Likewise, it makes sense that [[spoiler: his Venjix voice lacks the robotic tone, since he still has snake DNA in his programming, so he's still not 100 percent machine.]]
** Why didn't Evox suggest Venjix (someone who actually destroyed the world) as a subject of the reanimizer? [[spoiler:Cause he ''is'' Venjix. On that note, that would explain the need for his underlings to look up and suggest villains to bring back with the reanimizer. Evox is not from this dimension.]]
*** [[spoiler:There's also another subtle bit to it. If you look closely, you'll notice that Venjix's club-staff is not among the villain weapons in Ryjack's collection]].
** [[spoiler:Evox's true identity as Venjix]] is subtly hinted at all the way back in Season 1's "Evox's Revenge" when Evox orders Blaze Avatar to "return to ''your'' Earth dimension" - suggesting that Evox is not actually from the main Earth dimension. Also in "The Cybergate Opens" when Evox is about to take over what eventually becomes Steel's body, he gloats about how he's going to take control of this "''new'' and mighty body" - the "new" implying that Evox has had a physical body before.
** Why is that no matter how badly Evox treats them, Cybervillain Blaze and Roxy never once even consider trying to overthrow him? Because he programmed them both to be blindly loyal to him - [[spoiler: just as he did with Tenaya 15]]. He wanted to avoid [[spoiler:having another General Shifter or Kilobyte situation arise.]] Scrozzle meanwhile simply lacks the spine to go against Evox.
** [[spoiler:A past villain defeated by Rangers would see sense in creating new right hand minions out of would-be Rangers.]]
* Connected to a point above, the special episode ''Making Bad'' isn't just an excuse to look back through the history of ranger villains. Note that they're suggesting and explaining which villain to bring back to Evox and Sledge's entourage. There's one thing they have in common. [[spoiler:Namely, they're from another dimension.]]
* Meta: Steel was originally built to become Evox's new vessel but became the fifth Beast Ranger instead. [[spoiler:In RPM, Dillon, the fifth Ranger of the group, was originally planned by Eddie Guzelian to be Venjix's final vessel come that season's finale before Chip Lynn replaced him mid-way.]]
** Another piece of meta brilliance. [[spoiler:Andrew Laing used a pseudonym during his time as Evox to hide the reveal. That name was Randall ''Ewing'' (Dillon was played by Daniel Ewing)]].
* Beast Morphers being revealed as [[spoiler:an RPM sequel becomes clear with certain aspects. Devon struggles to connect with his dad not unlike Scott with Colonel Truman, both Red Rangers having a similar hairstyle. Nate is a young prodigy who creates the team's tech like Doctor K with a similar lab aesthetic to their design, the former being more socially awkward compared to the latter's initial standoffishness. Steel and Ziggy are also the more quirky teammates who join up last right quickly after another Ranger, having a bit of a quirky dynamic with the team's techie to boot. Roxy even gives off some Tenaya vibes in terms of being a tactical Action Girl. Even Ben and Betty give off some Gem and Gemma vibes]].

** Not to mention, they're harnessing the power of the Morphing Grid, which is known to span across multiple universes. They could've taken a glimpse of what happened on the seasons that take in a different dimension like ''RPM''.

* [[spoiler:In ''Crunch Time'', how can Robo Blaze enter the Grid Battleforce base without raising any alarms, even when he came in with the other rangers? That's because Grid Battleforce is no stranger to having robots, such as Steel and the Beast Bots, as part of the team, running in and out of the base. They likely have no need for a robotic sensor[=/=]scanner either, considering almost every robot character is noticeably, well, robotic. Robo Blaze only managed to get in because not only he looks human, but also that neither him nor Robo Roxy have attempted to do this for most of season 2's run.]]

** Evox's raspy, guttural voice isn't just the typical voice for a bad guy in a kids' show. For most of his run, [[spoiler:Evox is incomplete. It took him absorbing the rest of Venjix's data to come to full power, including having his original voice back.]]
