The Dino Thunder tribute keeps on going with a gallery of the deluxe Dimetrodon Zord!
The Dimetrozord is one of five auxiliary zords used in Dino Thunder that can be summoned by either the Black Ranger or the Triassic Ranger. This zord can replace the Tyranno Drill arm and allows the Thundersaurus Megazord to perform the Dimetro Saw Blade finishing move. The Dimetrozord also forms the inner right leg of the Triceramax Megazord.
The deluxe figure is approximately 8 inches long and has a spinning 'saw blade' gimmick that runs on the motor in the Tyrannozord. The U.S. release of the Dimetrozord was packaged with the Dx Dino Stegazord.
From the Kamen Rider Fourze Movie: Space Here we come! Here is Kamen Rider Fourze in his movie special state, Meteor Fusion!

They can combine with Kyoryuzin himself to form Kyoryuzin Western or with the upcoming PteraidenOh to form PteraidenOh Western!
