*** HilariousInHindsight when one thinks about it because Michael Bay originally wanted to have the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014 Ninja Turtles]] be aliens which the idea was eventually scrapped. He must have figured out the secret of the ooze as well. Before that was the [[Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie 1995 Power Rangers movie]] where we have Ivan Ooze who is of alien origin. And guess what powers did the Rangers get? Ninjetti or Ninja Ranger Powers in other words. Years later, we have an actual crossover between the [[Recap/PowerRangersInSpaceS1E4ShellShocked Power]] [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Rangers]] and [[Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation Ninja Turtles]] and we know that aliens are commonly found in space on other planets. Some more years later, we have a [[Film/PowerRangers2017 2017 Power Rangers movie]] where the arsenals are of alien origins. Incidentally, excluding Michael Bay’s TMNT movie, everything else belonged to [[Creator/SabanEntertainment Saban]] around those periods of time.
