Actually Brad was going to come in as the White Ranger and Tommy(JDF) was going to get his own show, Cybertron. It was going to be the American Version of Metalder. But Tommy was so popular on PR that they brought him back which was still badass. Though at the same time the original planned scenario would have been too badass. The downside we didn't get Brad as a Ranger which was a damn shame because we all agree, Brad made the Gold Ranger the f'n man. And its a damn shame we never got to officially see him as a Ranger. So the moral of the story is:
Brad Hawkins Owns. Whether it be in VR Troopers or Power Rangers. And should have been more than just the voice of Trey of Triforia.
