One of my major points in whether a PR Season will be good is whether or not the Foot Soldiers from the Sentai completely make the transition to Power Rangers. I always much prefer the Foot Soldier fights when they are in Sentai footage, but for reasons ranging from the weapons they use and how violent their footage is, much of the Foot Soldiers ended up needing replacing.
Going up to Power Rangers Time Force, the replaced Foot Soldiers are:
Cotpotros - Replaced by Z-Putty's for unknown reasons, most likely for familiarity.
Dorodoros - Replaced by the Tengas, even though I personally think their design would have worked as "Blue Putties" and could've looked like believable Rita & Zedd foot soldiers. Obviously they were replaced because the MMPR Producers wanted to recycle the "Tengu Bird" costumes from the movie.
Chromites - Replaced by Pirahnatrons. My guess is the multi-colored nature of the foot soldiers would've caused a lot of color timing problems. Plus, the Rangers had a real knack for hitting them in the head. Ended up making it into Power Rangers anyway as General Havocs Foot Soldiers.
Craterites - Replaced by Quantrons. No idea why the Craterites didn't make it as Astronema's Foot Soldiers. Ended up in Power Rangers anyway, as the Monster of the Day, and otherwise in the Ranger's simulation deck.
Swabbies - Replaced by Stingwingers. I think it was done to make Lost Galaxy as much of a Space-themed season as they could, since the Swabbies (and absolutely everything about Gingaman) have nothing to do with Space. There was also an awful lot of violence in their fights, including the Gingaman signature clawing to the face.
