Power Ranger Hybrid with "Car"

AKA: Thunder F??g Car

This line was first brought to my attention in January 2021 by Nathan Souza from Brazil. He received the Yellow Ranger gift set for Christmas in the 1990's which included the figure and a color-coordinated Blade Liner. He also remembers having Mars-Bit's weapon and Jupiter-Bit's weapon but they are not included in the photos. He also saw a blue Red Ranger version in the same store that his came from shortly after receiving his.

I suspect that this is like the Trendmasters Power Robot/Power Bots/Metal Robot situation where one set of molds was used to create multiple lines. I belive that it is related to the Space Robot line first identified by Lars Groeneveld who found one on eBay in 2019 and the, as-of-yet unidentified Power Rangers Hybrid line.

Nathan also pointed out a post on Twitter:

According to Google Translate the tweet reads:

The blade liner Pachimon that I got at the Sufes two times before. Pink color for Ptera Ranger for some reason. I also want the other 5 types.

The best part of this tweet is that it includes a photo of the line's checklist with all six versions of the Blade Liner! The worst part of this tweet is that the figure is standing in front of the name of the line so we still don't know what it was called! However, considering the blurb on the top flap I suspect that the first word is "Thunder."

801: Pink Ranger

So far the only example I've seen are the photos in the tweet by @hinokikazushi.

802: Red Ranger

So far the only example I've seen is in the on-package catalog shown in the tweet by @hinokikazushi.

803: Yellow Ranger

The Yellow Ranger version uses Jupiter-Bit's limbs but with heels added to the feet.

The most exciting part of Nathan's discovery is the color-coordinated Blade Liner! He confirms that it is a "perfect bootleg" of the original with working turbos and mini-guns.

804: Blue Ranger

While we're not quite certain which line it's from, here is Lars Groeneveld's Blue Ranger figure for reference:

Not surprisingly, there are no visible copyrights or manufacturer's marks.

It is made up of a slightly scaled down version of the 1993-era Mighty Morphing Power Rangers Blue Ranger head and torso with chrome gold Mars-Bit limbs with white accent pieces. Lars discovered the scale change with an original Bandai 8" Power Rangers gun which does not fit into the holster of this figure.

Here it is with an official Green Ranger figure.

805: Black Ranger

In April 2021, Afif Asri from Malaysia shared their copy of the black ranger version with Mars-Bit limbs.

806: Green Ranger

So far the only example I've seen is in the on-package catalog shown in the tweet by @hinokikazushi.
