How did that design get through? Seriously. I've come around on the suits a bit, but that Megazord design is a travesty. Give us that metal shrapnel look that I'm sure most of us expected, I honestly think it would be a colossal improvement.

It's really depressing how good transforming robot designs just... don't exist anymore in Hollywood.
Like when making this, did they even care about making it look like a combining robot? They just made this independant of the zords and said "good enough." They didn't have to actually think whilst doing it. There's nothing clever or creative or thoughtful about this whatsoever. I'm disappointed, but not surprised. EDIT: Oh shit, I just got it. The Megazord is meant to look like a giant Power Ranger. The "bodysuit" design, the daimond shape on the chest, the visor face. It's menat to directly reflect their outfits. God damn, that's utterly stupid. Especially since the Rangers don't wear spandex/bodysuits, so it looks more like a typical Ranger than they do. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 11-04-2016 at 05:56 PM.. |

At least it's more unique than copying the entire transforming scheme of the original. But still, what we got...

Pic removed? Awww...I missed it
To the internets! Edit: Found the pic, assuming it is the pic of the combined toy set anyways. Need a better look to really judge it, and definitely need to see the film version to make a final call on it, but I am intrigued by what I see at the very least. Far from the worst Megazord we've ever had at the very least. And so glad to see they are releasing a full set of them instead of having to buy them all individually.

I actually kind of dig it. Kinda reminds me of shin getter in a weird way. I don't think it looks GREAT but not BAD either.

So I found it.
I still want the toys (pending review) but even my least favorite megazord design... got butchered. When will they learn?

I'm not exactly sure what people were expecting. I get the sentiment as far as wanting it to look less..cohesive? Like more an amalgamation with very distinctly different parts. It does fall in line with the aesthetic though, and I am glad it isn't just a 1:1 copy of the original but with..busier designs.

Found it, and... I'm not really sure what I think. Definitely gives me the impression that Bandai gave it their best shot. Though it does kinda make me worried about how the Megazord will look on the big screen... I will say, I like the diamond shaped window/light on it's chest. Draws a nice conection to the Ranger suits. I'm more than ok with this chaning things up, but the proportions just look... bad...
I think I'll be passing on getting the big combining Megazord. Which is sad, because I still rather like how the t-rex zord looks on it's own. I'll probably stick to just getting the morpher and the Legacy figures.

Like most of the things in this movie, it looks so shitty.
