Maligore or Dark Spectar?

08/21/01, 05:02 AM

If you've seen the Turbo movie and a year or what later the PRiS seasons, you might have seen that Maligore is Dark's 'body double'. Maligore is smaller than Dark Spectar, but their likenesses... What is the explaination of this?

I don't believe Maligore and Dark Specter are related at all.

In response to BT's post, it definitely wasn't a mistake by the Production Crew. They knew the Dark Specter costume was indeed the Maligore costume from the movie.

MiC is correct but only partially. Dark Specter technically did have a Sentai counterpart but not one that had a suit. Apparently they were planning on using the Goldgoyle suit for their Dark Specter suit but the Goldgoyle suit didn't hold up well so they opted for the Maligore suit.

Also of course the crew was being cheap. It's nothing new with them reusing old suits for new monsters. It has happened countless times over the years.

Turkey Jerk. Grumble the Magic Elf. Storybook Rangers Snow Monster.
Plague Patrollers. Repellator.

Metal Mangler. A bunch of monsters in the recruiting scene in the episode with the Torch Tiger monster.

The monster in the Ninja Turtles/Space crossover.

Brunt, the monster in the episode that captured the GalactaBeasts.

The first demon Lightspeed Rescue destroyed.

The Mut-Orgs.

Need I say more?

Yeah. the Psycho Ranger Mutant Suits appearing everywhere at C2D.

Apparently they were actually planning to relate Maligore and Dark Specter. They were just going to say that Maligore was like the Baby of their Race and that Dark Specter was an Adult of their Race. I can't remember where I read it though =/

who knows. I've never heard that anywhere.... however now that you've mentioned it, I do seem to recall that being part of Amit's original plans for "Forever Red" before Koichi telling him that he wanted them to use these machine (Beetleborgs/Astral Borgs) suits.

I wonder if he even knew they were from Beetleborgs considering he's only done work on Power Rangers, Super Sentai and Kamen Rider.
