On pre-historic planet Earth, an alien secretly entrusted the powerful Paragon Prisms to 12 majestic dinosaurs for protection, but when asteroids hit and the dinosaurs went extinct, the prisms were lost. In "Power Rangers Dino Charge", set in present day, an intergalactic bounty hunter has arrived and starts sniffing around Earth, determined to locate the prisms, harness their power, and annihilate the world. To face this threat, a new team of heroic Power Rangers must join together, find all of the lost prisms, and use their prehistoric energy to charge up an arsenal of dino-powered swords, blasters, zords and Megazords in order to save the world! "Power Rangers Dino Charge" will adapt Toei's Jūden Sentai Kyōryūger special-effects television series.

"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" actor Austin St. John, who played Jason Lee Scott, the original Red Ranger and first leader of the Power Rangers, also announced at the Original Rangers panel at the Power Morphicon 4 that he is currently in talks with Saban to return for the upcoming "Power Rangers: Dino Charge" TV series.
