Description Here's the first team of my Soudaiger reboot idea, pictured here taiko554.deviantart.com/art/Ky…

Kyousou (競争) means competition, rivalry, contest, or tournament.  Soudai (壮大/ そうだい) means magnificent, grand, majestic, or splendid.  Their sentai name is therefore along the lines of "Competition Sentai Magnificent-ranger".  In that same vein, they can be known as Power Rangers Grand Contest.  Pictured above is the fire team.

In a context of a story, an alien invasion termed by Earth's governments as H.I.V.E. threatens to dismantle said governments and enslave humanity.  In response, a united fighting force is developed and assembled to confront H.I.V.E.  Despite the threat from H.I.V.E., governments and officials only reward teams for their defeats of alien invaders.  As such, competition and rivalry has been fostered among the teams for funding, gear, weaponry, repairs, etc.  The teams constantly feud among themselves in addition to the ongoing conflicts with H.I.V.E.  It is only when a sixth element arrives that the teams begin to truly unite against H.I.V.E. and oppose the system created by corrupt governments and officials.

Pictured above is the fire team.  They are associated with colors near red and reptiles.  As with the entire idea though, the animals are their roll call titles, not their colors.   

"The First Flame!  Soudai Komodo!"
"The Second Flame!  Soudai Crocodile!"
"The Third Flame!  Soudai Tortoise!"
"The Fourth Flame!  Soudai Python!"
"The Fifth Flame!  Soudai Chameleon!" 

"Scorching everything in our path!  Kyousou Sentai!  Soudai Hi (fire)!"


Each individual team shares similarities among their individuals.  Each team has its own symbol, pictured above the leader and featured in the center of the chest.  Each team also shares the same color on their belt and animal eyes.  This color is meant to contrast the leader most, but does contrast with the others well.  The visor shape for each team is unique, but different helmets have additional features which make the visors look more individualized, i.e. teeth, beaks, horns, tusks.  The leader of each team has gold accents to stand out among their team.  Each team also has a ranking within themselves (the roll call rank) which can also be found on their left shoulders: the leader will have one gold bar/line, the rest will have silver lines from 2-5. 


Everything here is my hard work. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks.

This explains where Pink ended up, which is nice.  Pink is a shade of red, so it makes sense.  And all these unique shades.  Red, Brown?, Magenta, Orange-y Pink?, Pink.  All of them work so well, and the gold accents on the leaders really do make a lot more sense.  Plus, the unique designs for each ranger form is cool, nice that like KyoryuCyan, not every ranger has the physique of a gymnast.  Plus, reptiles rarely get a main focus, so using all these reptiles (Komodo Dragon, Crocodile, Tortoise, Python, and Chameleon) is just so cool.  I really enjoy animal sentai, and I look forward to other installments in this series.

Like how this team is turning out so far. Plus, I like the idea of corruption having a part in their story, as it would make for some interesting conflicts.

I wouldn't mind a concept similar to this in an actual Super Sentai Series. It'd be a nice change of pace from what we usually get. Nice work.

Yea I think it'd be cool to see too.

Kamen-Zero In reply to Taiko554 [2014-09-02 22:46:32 +0000 UTC]

Though to be honest, pretty much every Original Sentai you create (in my opinion anyway) would be at least interesting to see tried.

No problem.

Hey, do you have any advice for making a Genesis Driver for your Templates? I've been trying to make one, but it just won't turn out right, and I refuse to steal from your pictures out of respect.

I don't have any advice other than "keep practicing".

Hmm...guess I'll keep trying until I get it right (or at least as close as I got with the Sonic Arrow)
