....I'm not hating the zord designs, to be honest.

Also, mastodon looks more like a dustmite, rather than a spider :P

Definitely looks like a fun toy, but I think I'll pass. I do like the minifigures and the built-in compartments for them, but it's a bit larger than I would want in a non-morphing Megazord toy. Hopefully the Legacy figures will have a BAF of it.
Nice. The morpher is still a must-get for me. Anyone know where those larger coins shown later on are from?

Nothing screams impressive like a 8 minute video of a roleplay toy done with nothing but pictures.

Not meaning to throw shade or hate - but a video of nothing but pictures is just lazy. That does nothing to make me want the toy - if anything, I want someone else to do a video review of the thing in action.

I would be way too embarrassed to actually call these things zords.. I honestly don't know what they were thinking.

It's like they saw some of the backlash from movie-verse transformers designs and said "Ah-HA, that's the direction we'll go!!.. No nostalgia or recognition necessary".

See, I just heard all that in Brian Cranston's voice. And it just made it FUNNY.

Now try hearing Alpha's part in Bill Hader's voice lol

Oh god, I already hate myself because I know I'm going to buy the zords anyway.
I expected some level of Michael-Bay-ing to happen to them but..not this.
Transformers: "Spinosaurus with TWO sets of spines? Sure. Tricceratops with Stegosaurus tail? Neat, let's do it. Cat ears in a T-Rex? Let's give it a try. Pteranodon? Two heads. TWO TAILS. BOOM."
Power Rangers: "Saber-tooth tiger? Let's make the fangs guns. That actually sounds pretty cool. Triceratops? Let's give it some extra legs. Mammoth? The fuck is that?"

Meh they're both arachnids so close enough.

Okay...so we replaced Mastodon with a Dung Beetle

and Triceratops with a Rhinoceros Beetle...

Classic Hollywood. Just have to change things up so much of the stuff they're doing a movie on becomes unrecognizable.
Seriously...I GET the idea they want to emphasize of the Rangers' powers being alien in origin, and I was accepting of the suit changes and Rita's very Green Ranger inspired look to a degree, but these zords are just TERRIBLE. Even the Michael Bay AOE Dinobots were easier to recognize what they were supposed to be in their dino modes than these things.

Seriously, ask anyone NOT a Power Rangers fan or anyone not in the know how what the Black Ranger's zord in that photo of the toy is supposed to be. I highly doubt anyone will say Mastodon. It's a bug.

This push from Hollywood to take old properties and change them so drastically only kills them in the end. You want new fans, but you also want to keep the old fans. Otherwise, it just blows up in their faces... (Jem and the Holograms anyone?)

And I'm not trying to be a bitter old man embracing nostalgia. I was excited at the idea of an attempted revival of the Power Rangers on the big screen, but I'm just not feeling it anymore right now. Add to it being put in March for release, it seems like the studio doesn't have faith in it for the summer.

I mean, obviously, the zords they're using are really just giant-sized zecters from Kabuto.
