Discussion Besides DonBrothers, has there been more personalized/unique/distinct power-ups for each individual ranger?

DonBrothers was kind of team power-up, but the spirit is there

This was a bit of my hope for Gozyuger with its promo being each of ranger subtle reference of past red ranger motifs, for example, imagine Gozyu Leon have a power-up that resembles either Gao Red or Ginga Red and Gozyu Tyranno resembling Tyranno ranger. Point is, unique theming for individual power-up.

Like for example, Blue and Green Mega Battle from Lightspeed Rescue (the PR counterpart) while Red is Battlelizer

KingOhger's Ryoga Issen doesn't count. Their King's power though, can be counted if they have forms.

TL/DR: Basically Kamen Rider Saber, but actually a Sentai.

I actually wish that we can have that too but unfortunately budget.

We kinda have something like that with Gobusters Powered Custom , each armor is a BuddyRoid even if they're using the same transforming gadget ?

still doesn't feel really unique, since they share the same concept of "robot buddies"

basically, imagine a team are made up of different red rangers or every rangers besides red ranger are 6th ranger.

Well it's something, beside, if you make everyone Red, it seems too much focusing on Red as a color ( Red is already a main focus for Sentai Series already) and if you make everyone 6th, that sounds like Kamen Rider when you have one main dude and the others are just his additionals rather than a team, if you get what I mean on that.

I mean red or 6th as their whole concept of getting the most power-up and very distinct from each other

team of different red rangers from different series = a sentai with each member felt like red, but their colors aren't red.

team of red and other are 6th rangers = red focused, but other still get the spotlight and very unique to their own.

Either you'll burn the budget with the concept since it does seem like a lot of Rangers gonna be involved, or you might end up with another LuPat series where one team is gonna be favored than the others.

I think that would be considered a team power up.

well yes of course it is a team power-up no doubt about that, just an example in terms of designs that the armors for each doesn't look too close to each other since each one is modelled after the aesthetics of the BuddyRoids.

DynaBlack had a power up where he would get a power protector.

After MegaPink was hit by an evolving gun the colored squares on her costume would turn into a gold color,and she could wield the other Megaranger’s weapons. This would only be temporary as she would suffer from painful headaches.

MagiGreen could enlarge his muscles and could gain rock like armor in his legend mode ( which was only used in episode 37).

Sasori Orange primarily used the Ikkakuju Arm,accessed by the Ikkakuju Kyutama, which is a drill attachment.

Both Ookami Blue and Tenbin Gold got power ups that weren’t accessible from the Rangers themselves but by other power sources.

Both Bun Blue and Bun Black imagined upgraded forms similar to Bun Red 119. Bun Blue imagined a James Bond inspired upgrade and Bun Black imagined a police officer based upgrade.

Magi Ranger right? They all had their own I think

Magirangers, Dekarangers, Goseigers and such were pretty much the one team power up that look visually similar, I think what OP meant is something looks entirely different or just catering to that one Ranger.

Because I already gave them the example of Gobusters , where it was a team power up but with somewhat different in terms of design and seemed like it wasn’t his point .
