Tokunation.com is back with it's final tribute to Power Rangers In Space and this time it's a big one! Today we have a complete gallery the DX Silver Titanus figure, a rare piece that came out at the tail end of the In Space toyline. Rumor has it that Silver Titanus was originally meant to have a brief appearance in the shows final 2 episodes, Countdown to Destruction, for the epic final battle! It only has 2 official combinations, one with the Mega Winger, and one with the standard non-winged Mega Voyager. The others pictured here are just there for fun.
What's even more interesting that you may not know is that Silver Titanus was designed by PLEX! Yes that's right PLEX, the Japanese group responsible for designing nearly everything in Super Sentai from ranger suits to mecha to changers, designed this bad boy. We've included a scan from a PLEX design book released in 2001 that showcases their original line art for Silver Titanus as well. Silver Titanus is a heavy repaint/remold of the original DX King Brachion (AKA Titanus) figure from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Some of the accessories from each are even capable of being swapped between the 2, and though the electronics have been removed from this release there is still an accessible battery compartment.

I always wanted this in the show because you just know Phatom Ranger chopped Titanus' head off and replaced it with a shuttle. The head was then given to the space mafia to put in the beds of zords that refuse to be hassled.
...What? didn't you know Zordon was funded by the space mafia? How else did he afford an apprentice tiki mask? The answer: extortion money from Ninjor and the Dragonzord. Last edited by Blade Raider; 03-31-2013 at 10:20 PM.. |

Since it is a remold of Titanus, technically it's still compatible with the MMPR MegaDragonzord, Ninja/Shogun MegaFalconzord, etc.
I know they don't belong, but you should show the aforementioned Megazords with Silver Titanus to show their compatibility.

Aww, I was hoping to see the shuttle "head" standalone and how it connects.

The "shuttle" just slides down over top of the outstretched chest section on Titanus. When you fold the chest out such that the wheels touch the ground, it just slides on. It's literally just a hollowed out piece that sits down on top of that, it's charitable to even call it a shuttle honestly

All Power Rangers toys are designed by PLEX, they have a US branch.

If you mean that in the case of them using Japanese toys that are then brought over and released here then yes. You have a point there. I know they have a US branch but sentai figures are designed for Japanese release and then ported over here. My point is this thing was designed EXCLUSIVELY for Power Rangers, not for Super Sentai at all by PLEX.
