It could've not been a 1:1 of the original and not looked like garbage, though...

You say with a Gabutyra avatar...

Anyways, just saw the pic of the other one, which while not being made of combining components, is likely a somewhat more accurate representation of the on-screen design.

I don't mind it quite so much, and I honestly think that the final design we'll see in the film may end up a bit more of a hybrid of the two with a bit more of the individual zords being visible, at least as far as the feet/legs are concerned. As there is a drastic difference between the two toys.

So basically what we need is a halfway between the reinventiveness of Transformers and the new Voltron for what it should have been?

A new take but still recognizable and all the parts roughly correspond

Official reveal!

I think garbage is pushing it.

It's definitely not what I'd have expected from a megazord, I agree. And as I said, I totally get wanting there to be a bit more..distinction between the parts from the other zords (which I do hope the actual cgi model will have). But just taken as a giant robot dude? It's pretty cool looking.

Yes, gabutyra not Rexy.
It seems like we are getting another "movie ninjazord" style on film Zord.

this pr 2017 megazord is cool

Well, it isn't exactly the cgi render, but it'll do.

So yeah, looks like, unless this is just more accurate to the toy than the movie model, there really isn't much to be seen of the other zords in the megazord, which I get the disappointment over.

But again, as I said, just taken as a giant robot, it's not an awful design, I think it looks pretty cool.

Edit: I just realized that is an official reveal of the non-combiner toy, so yeah still a chance the actual version we see in the film has more going on.

So it's a giant dude.

At least Gabutyra looks distinctive.

He certainly stands out in a crowd.

Yeah. Something that's new, but not unrecognizable, with actual thought and engineering planned into it's design and not just a lazy robot thing.

:(

Is it, though?

There's not a single aspect of this that's all that distinctive or creative. It's just a generic giant robot. The wings and weapons don't help, feeling like something a child would slap on.
