Like always a thread got derailed And turned into an arguement and great discussion, so now we have a thread just for it. Given how similar the two series' are Mech Wise it was only a matter of time before it happened anyway.
On one hand we have the Kyoryuger Voltasaurs. On the other we have Abaranger's Aux Dino Mecha. Both become arms, both do it differently, and both have a seperate flying dinosaur that becomes it's own Mecha and combines with the others. That point just hit me as I'm writing this. Personally, maybe it's because of how much I love the series, but the Voltasaurs are better. They just seem to have more personality than the Abaranger Dinos. They do more. The Aba's just fold up their legs and snap on. The Voltasaurs have Batteries, something happens. Not much happens, I'll grant you. But it's alot more than Abaranger. For one thing she isn't useless. Aba Red and Blue can, and have, combined their Dinos to form a form of Aba-Oh without any help from Yellow. While the team can form Kyoryujin without Pink, she does more than just become a chest plate and a helmet. Or some weird oddly shaped boomerang. And I appreciate that. Always bothered me in Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin'. And alot of series' that followed to. About how useless the female rangers/sentai's mech seemed to be. Dairanger's was only a belt, for example. |

It would be a lot easier to compare if Abaranger was subbed and available.
HINT HINT for any editors/encoders checking out this place. |

I know. But I figured enough people have seen Dino Thunder to have a reference point for how they looked and connected. Least that was my hope

Ptera might not add much to Abaren-O, but at least Abaranger didn't leave two characters in the thrash for Abaren-O.
EDIT: You know, "sentai" isn't a word that means a single warrior. It means a group, or squadron, of warriors. Don't use sentai for ranger. Use senshi.

I dislike both!
But that's not the point. The Kyoryuger's mechs are stronger than Abarangers, but it really doesn't feel by much. And as for female rangers getting the unimportant zords...Yeah. Kind of sucks. ShinkenPink and Yellow sat in the back and did nothing for Samurai Ha-Oh, HurricaneBlue is delegated to a shoulder cannon for all combinations beyond the primary one, DekaYellow and Pink were shoulder pads for Super Dekaranger Robo, hell, MagiPink formed 1/3 of MagiKing's chest plate.

Based on AbareKiller & Burai before him... I'm guessing KyoryuGold's doomed.

Technically speaking, isn't he already dead?
