What will they try to bring back next? Sectaurs? Wheeled Warriors? Crystar? Manglor? Man-Tech? Centurions? Air Raiders? Starcom? Blackstar?
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors can be updated easily(doesn't even need a reboot!).
Silverhawks needs one definitely(doesn't even need a reboot!).
Inhumanoids definitely(doesn't even need a reboot!).
Centurions too(doesn't even need a reboot!).
MASK, and Micronauts are both slated.

The rest need to stay buried in the past or maybe one shot revival movies. Well... Except for maybe Bravestarr(doesn't even need a reboot!). That'd be another interesting one to update.

Captain Power also isn't too surprising. It's pretty much Terminator for kids. One of the big things to always keep in mind on series and concepts is to hit key elements of modern fears or dependancies. Well, technology is an ever growing modern fear as is the effects of long standing immediate satisfaction. So it'll be interesting to see how this show is reconceptualized. Re-using an IP that represents that already makes the transition easier and also helps avoid the problems behind a brand new IP.

This way it's new, but also old nodding. Brings in old fans and nostalgia, but still has enough new that it grabs attention. This gives it an installed fanbase, and also room to experiment as a "new" IP. That's one of the perks to retitling a remake at least. It has old, but it's also new. It does a little borrowing but avoids the blue(so it's not a tardis!).
