I think it would have been interesting if JDF did appear in Cybertron ( VR Troopers earlier name before issues with Transformers owning the name forced them to change). But instead of being the new character Adam Steele, it would have been interesting it it became a true PR spin off...Which JDF actually playing Tommy Oliver.

In this senario Tommy would have lost his powers and never returned as White Ranger. The timeline would work since VR Troopers debuted just a season later. And it wouldn't have been hard to give Tommy a new backstory with Tyler "Oliver" as his Dad. You could have introed JB and Kaitlin as his old Childhood friends. Would have been an interesting route to go.

Of course this never was in the cards since JDF was originally supposed to play a new character in Cybertron. And probably would have if he stayed long enough for VR Troopers to become what it did. Adam Steele was really just an eary version of of Ryan Steele. Besides, Tommy's popularity as Green Ranger pretty much forced the writers to change course and bring JDF back to PR.

Still its fun to speculate. Would have made a heck of a block with PR if Fox Kids had picked the show up in this fantasy senario.
