R.P.M.

Power Rangers: RPM is the title for the 2009 season of Power Rangers. It is based on Engine Sentai Go-Onger.

Synopsis
In the near future, the mysterious and sinister Venjix Computer Network is attempting to conquer and lay ruin to the entire planet. Mankind has retreated into environmentally-shielded domed cities to protect against the pollution and machines unleashed by Venjix. In the shining city of Corinth, an elite force of Rangers must learn to drive and operate an arsenal of radically advanced biotech vehicles in order to battle the attacking machine army bent on world domination.

Production History
Power Rangers R.P.M will be the first P.R season since 2005 to have a fresh lead producer, as Bruce Kalish will depart with the present season. It was speculated by some fans that R.P.M may not have been an option if the proposed animated series pilot had not fallen through.

In September 2008, plot details of R.P.M were leaked out, as were four sample tracks of theme songs for the opening title sequence. Action figures were also found in e-bay. Possible Gold and Silver rangers to appear in the series.
