Razzle's Power Rangers Megaforce Locations

 UPDATED 6/11/13 9:30 PM EST

Raz (@Razzle1337) has painstaking found the locations in Auckland, New Zealand that Megaforce has shot in. They seem to be unique in that they were not used in Samurai and Super Samurai. He used Google Maps.

A small park/reserve outside the Vector Arena where Gia, Emma and Troy were walking

Aotea Square, used in Prince Takes Knight

He found the same park they used in Who's Crying Now at the end

SPOILERS: Super Megaforce #11 - More JDF pics on Set

UPDATED 6/6/13 8PM EST
I thought I'd just make 10 of these spoiler threads because shooting has ended for Super Megaforce but more pics coming in.

I updated the 10th Spoilers one:

http://henshingrid.blogspot.com/2013/05/spoilers-super-megaforce-10-more.html

I updated 'Who is who is the Mega War'

http://henshingrid.blogspot.com/2013/05/who-is-who-in-super-mega-war.html

JDF posted videos of his trip with the 'Legendary Rangers'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTK8sjFvz24

 The following pics are props and suits

I already posted this pic but people thought I didn't, you have to check my updates.

 Everyone is excited about the Go-On Wings / RPM Ranger Silver and Gold Hybrid helmet, Also in the corner from Blue is the Grinder costume.

Spotted are Dino Blue, Samurai Gold, Pink, Green, Red and Yellow. Behind the Gold/Silver you see RPM Green and what I think is Aquitar Yellow and Blue. Then Mystic Yellow, Green and Pink. Then another Pink and Red. Then Quantum at the right side. In between Gold and Pink Samurai I think is a helmet wrapped in bubble wrap, so no idea what it could be. Looks white but I doubt its the color of the helmet.

More Jason David Frank pics:

 Here he is holding the Black Mighty Morphin Helmet. You can see Mighty Morphin Yellow, Blue and a Green helmet. Then Zeo Blue, 2 Zeo Pink, 2 Zeo Yellow and a Black and Red helmets. On top we see Time Force Red and Turbo Green.

Here he is holding the Yellow Cheetah Ranger helmet. You can also see Crimson Ranger, Yellow Dino, White Rhino, Mercury Ranger and a Red Ranger helmet.

Here he is holding a Grinder helmet. Here other than Crimson Ranger, Yellow Dino, White Rhino, Mercury Ranger, you can also see Black Dino and Solaris Knight.

 

Tommy in costume I guess for the episode. White Ranger suit to the right, you can see the vest. 

JDF with his green communicator in set offices.

JDF's helmet (possible not the crew one) with camera and communicator and morpher. On the wall is pictures of stunt guys and the actual cast in the Super Megaforce (Gokaiger) suits. (You can see Gia's blonde hair, Emma's long hair and Noah's skin color.)

The veterans at the table read 

@BLRNerd brought to my attention the pictures on the wall. It looks like blown up pictures of the Mega War with side views of each Ranger like Mike and I have on Rangercentral.com and SuperSentai.com, for those who don't know, we got them from Japanese books so it is possible they got them from the same books. But it's hard to tell as they are small compared to the rest of the picture. It is good they at least making the effect to be organized.

Who is who in "Mega War"

UPDATED 7/18/13 12AM EST

 Spoilers ahead, Added Zeo Ranger Yellow!

The Chart who everyone has agreed is there, there might be some more we haven't seen like Red Tiger Ranger (Jungle Fury) and a few more Mystic Force or Zeo Rangers. We got 4 teams of 5 (RPM, SPD, PROO and Aquitar) out of the 17 teams. 6 teams of 3 (Samurai, NS, WF, PRLR Zeo, and PRiS), 5 teams of 2 (MMPR, Turbo, TF, MF, and JF), and 2 teams of 4 (Lost Galaxy, Dino Thunder). Now MF and JF could be teams of 3.

Thanks to these pic we got more:

JDF called it the 'Mega War' but we still don't know if this will be at the end of Season 1 (Megaforce) or at the beginning of Season 2 (Super Megaforce) or at the end of it all.

MMPR

 

1. Tommy Green Ranger

 AQUITAR
RPM Blue suit guy Sean Datar said they were there. 2 months later we finally got this picture on June 28/29. I was doubting they were even there!

 2. Red Alien Ranger

 3. Blue Alien Ranger 

4. Black Alien Ranger

 5. White Alien Ranger

6. Yellow Alien Ranger

ZEO

7. Zeo Ranger IV Green

8 Zeo Ranger III Blue

Zeo Ranger II Yellow

48 Ranger Blue

49 Ranger Yellow

50 Ranger Green

51 Ranger Black

SAMURAI

52 Mike Green Ranger

 

53 Emily Yellow Ranger

 54 Gold Samurai Ranger

Also what has me concerned is that select Rangers are there, there are significant members of MMPR, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Mystic Force and Jungle Fury that are missing. We have around 54 or so Rangers at the set, it should be around 100.

This is what we've seen so far, there has to be more:

11 Red Rangers (AR, LG, LR, TF, Q, WF, NS, DT, SPD, OO, RPM)

11 Blue Rangers (AR, Zeo, PRiS, WF, NS, DT, SPD, MF, OO, JF,, RPM)

8 Green Rangers (MMPR, PRZ, PRT, LG, SPD, MF, RPM, PRS)

8 Yellow Rangers (AR, NS, DT, SPD, OO, JF, RPM, PRS)
6 Pink Rangers (PRT, PRiS, LG, LR, SPD, OO)

4 Black Rangers  (AR, OO, WF, RPM)
 2 Silver Rangers (PRiS, LR)

3 White Ranger (MMPR, AR, DT)

1 Gold Ranger (PRS)
1 Extra Hero (LG)

[5 Sixth Rangers (Silver, Titanium, Quantum, White Dino, Gold Samurai)]

*Sixth Rangers and Extra Heroes qualified by Gokaiger

This was already shot. This a shot I and other fans believe was made in New Zealand and not Japan. It has Samurai Red, Jungle Fury and Mystic Force Rangers that were not included in the shot with the veterans. SPD Green and Yellow are in it but maybe to connect the two groups. This shot is from Troy's dream in the first episode "Mega Mission" mixed in with Gokaiger footage.

Actor Sean Datar (https://twitter.com/sean_in_the_mix) was there and was told he would be Lightspeed Blue but ended up being RPM Ranger Blue. I asked him on Twitter and he says that all the teams were represented. I sent him a picture of Aquitar Rangers and asked him if he was there, he said yes.
