Brad Hawkins Interview: Ryan Steele of VR Troopers & Voice of Gold Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo

[@ljkelty1766]

I always liked VR Troopers and it's so often neglected. Great to see Brad Hawkins after all these years. Seems like a great guy.

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

He is an awesome guy!

[@mandroid5678]

Would be great to see Ryan Parrot give it the Power Rangers treatment in comics and flesh out the world and stories.

[@Mochi_Madness87]

Wow even after all these years he's in great shape. Loved VR Troopers growing up.

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Oh yeah, he’s great!

[@NerdAffiliated]

Loved the intro to VR Troopers!

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Yes!!!

[@salamaraif1648]

He was lucky to be part of the power rangers family zeo and vr troopers

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

He’s awesome!

[@ahmadseymour9969]

GREAT QUESTIONS!!!! Got us some great answers!!😊

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Thank you!

[@Poweranimals]

I would've never recognized him. 🙃

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

He’s looking great!

[@victormeyer4116]

And also a singer!

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

That’s right!

[@MarkGuerrero-cz9bh]

VR troopers revival would be impossible (the metal heroes franchise has been dead for a while) But a movie could be possible There is a trilogy of space sheriff movies that could be used

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Anything is possible

[@danmccarthy4700]

I remember when the Gold Ranger first showed up and immediately I was like "ok, how are they writing Ryan Steele into Power Rangers??".

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Everyone was like “who is that?!” lol

[@MrBiasJoe]

How did I miss this?

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Glad you found it!

[@mungosmungo8694]

Imagine a world where he Stayed the White Ranger. He might have become Zeo Red, maybe that would have worked put around the time "cyberton" ended, and JDF became gold. Would have been interesting All in all, I love Vr Troopers, I would have liked a bit more story, but I do love rewatching random episodes.

[@MarkGuerrero-cz9bh]

Possible Cybertron could have lasted longer, considering they wouldnt be adapting multiple shows at a time Then they could just switch suits A lot of single hero metal hero shows And could eventually add heroes

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Somewhere in an alternate universe it did!

[@MarkGuerrero-cz9bh]

Wonder if there was any discussion of continuing instead of doing big bad beetleborg Like really it did well in ratings and they would finally have a show with 3 heroes to adapt

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

That came later but possibly

[@spslayer9113]

I think Saban made the right call sticking with Tommy as the White Ranger. But they fumbled with Brad Hawkins as the Gold Ranger with the Trey of Triforia BS

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

I agree but missed opportunity not connecting VR troopers using Gold Zeo

[@MarkGuerrero-cz9bh]

So was Ryan ever going to be the gold ranger or was he just a fill in while they figured out what they wanted to do

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

We talked about that in the panel, he was only ever going to help with voicing

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Thanks!

[@MarkGuerrero-cz9bh]

Wonder why they never tried to crossover properly

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Different licensing requirements

[@etrigan-f2h]

Too bad they never did a Power Rangers/V.R. Troopers Crossover.

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Agreed!

[@mightymorphinconspiracythe5024]

Cobra Kai! That's a great Idea! just saying,... just saying!

[@TheLegacyofNerd]

Makes sense!
