OMFG The Japanese are raping my childhood!!!
This is just not right! I grew up with Ringo Starr reading the tales of the Reverend W Awdry, and no-where in any of them did Diesel rebel against Megatron's authority before getting crunched by Percy.
"LNER-Bots! Roll out!"
Inlander:
I think you're getting your precious childhood memories mixed up. Despite the presence of "transform" in the name that's clearly Voltron the Tank Engine.
Jimor:
Oooh, a vanishingly thin excuse to trot out my pet theory!
Power Rangers = Voltron + Ultraman + H.R. Puffinstuff + Saved By The Bell.

Heh! My other famous cousin (though I never met him; my sister lived quite close to him for a while, though, and did).
That's it - no more famous cousins.

Yeah definitely something like that. I haven't seen HR Puffinstuff, but everything else fits. I have a feeling that at least at the start of the show all the action scenes were pulled out of existing Japanese action series' and sandwiched in with a bunch of American teens to make it more palatable to a western audience.
