Official Images of Super Megaforce Ninja Zord
 

The most unpopular zord from this line has some official images up. Have you changed your mind on it?

So.. they gave it a helicopter mode to match whatever Samurai Ranger's Zord was called from Ninja Storm? And gave it a useless spinning black gimmick.. instead of the actual gimmick or giant-ass shurikan he was supposed to come with?

... How about no?

EDIT: I'm sorry no. Looks like it supposed to be both that Zord and Silver's from In Space at the same time. ... So it's a Ninja helicopter space-jet?

Wait hold the phone... Is that thing also post represent the Megawinger?!

But...Why...? Ninja Storm and In Space are no where close to each other nor is their Sentai counterparts...

Because BoA decided it needed a gimmick. That's all. That's the only reason, it needed a gimmick.

So the key is used to activate the propeller gimmick?

That sounds like more trouble than it's worth. What's wrong with having a simple button somewhere that activates it like most Transformers?

I think the way they included the Mega Winger is actually pretty cool. Definitely better than GoZyuJin allegedly representing three different mechs without design elements from any of them, in my opinion.

...Space Ninjas. Awesome, but PLEASE STOP FUCKING WITH GOKAIGER'S ZORD CONTINUITY. I was fine with the Zeo Racer because it's awesome and original.

This?! This is just unnecessary!

Because Keys, and they need to sell them.

I would've liked this being retooled into an original Megawinger Zord for SMF, then this thing.

Oh me too. I don't mind original redeco/retools. But DO NOT shoehorn. It's just rude.

So it's both Ninja Storm, and In Space? ... I like it. :)

At least BOA gave us a zord mode(Or at least tried) that BOJ didn't give Gokaiger in their toyline.

What the literal hell?

Wow, I dig the originality here, but I think it would have been better if we had just gotten a retool like the Zeo Zord.

All this talk about retooling. Guys, think of it this away. This thing may be underwhelming, but at least this way (if you're a competitionist like I am) you only need to buy this thing once.

I guess this now makes it like the Wild Force lion representing 2 teams. I can dig that.

That's what I thought too. :)

Actually, looking at the pic more closely, where do the new chest/eyes come from? Is it some separate part?

The Megawinger is to represent in the second to last episode of Gokaiger when Gozyujin summons the Mega Winger and flies using it. Sort of interesting, because I assumed they'd skip the scene due to Gokaioh using the Variblune (from Goranger) in the same scene.

As crappy as it looks, I actually dig the Mega Winger gimmick! I was sad that Gokaioh and Gozyujin never had the Mega Winger or Variblune to use, so its good that BoA collectors at least get the Mega Winger. I won't get it, but I actually think BoA deserves some credit for that.

I do wonder how awful Hurricane Gokaioh will look though.

I get what they were going for, and can certainly appreciate the effort. But seriously, I'm kind of flabbergasted by the absurdity of this thing even existing.

While it certainly isn't as brilliant as the Zeo Racer, it has the tinge of a madman's brilliance to it. Not sure if want....

Pictures of the BOA combo have already circulated. Absolutely inaccurate and atrocious.

If you noticed, the Ninja Storm emblem between the zords legs is missing in the Mega Winger mode. My best guess is that the megawinger chest is on the other side of that panel with the ninja storm emblem.

I kinda like this. For play value it adds a lot.

Can't look much worse than the Gokaiger one. Hurricane Gokaioh is probably the worst DX mecha in terms of accuracy in the history of Sentai.

Yes it can. Oh can it ever.

At least this makes sense compared to giant shurikens falling out of every limb.

Shurikens coming out of the limbs is Hurricane Gokaioh's design though and will obviously still be in Super Megaforce. The toy is almost as bad as Wild Force Lion in trying to replicate the on-screen counterpart.

I disagree. The shurikens were insanely awesome. This is just sad.

Inaccuray mode aside, the megawinger mode is a pretty awesome idea.

I'm actually shocked they didn't do this for Gokaiger.

As a consolation, the chest emblem looks better here.

Ok yea... Now that I'm rethinking things again, the Megawinger idea isn't bad at all since it's like the Gao Lion from Gokaiger where it represent Shinkenger as well. So I can dig this, but as far as toy design go...? No way, the Megawinger form looks cool, but the mini zord is just meh... to me.

Either way, I'm buying it. :lol

Well yay more zord builder! Yay!

Why are you shocked? The 5 Gokai Machines that got toys were the only ones originally meant to. In fact the 5 sentai featured because of the toys were the only ones originally going to receive high profile tribute episodes.

If not for the efforts of the actors of played Ginga Red & Black Knight Hyuga the various other tribute episodes that occur through out the series would have never occurred. They got the word out on social media to other past actors that this show was even happening, and the requests to return just poured into Toei. That's why later Grand Powers are a bit less exciting like summoning Daibouken's sword, getting fire hoses from GoGoV, or Gokai Oh outright becoming Super Live Robo. That's why these latter powers don't feature original mecha, they were never meant to exist. But see Toei listens to it's fans and wealth of past actors rather than ignoning them entirely like another company blatantly does.

So that Megawing scene in the final episode was 100% a last minute addition. DX Furaimaru had been out for months by that point so no such plan to include a gimmick like this could have been made, or ever existed. However I will say again that this is a very cool idea from BOA, albeit very poorly executed in the final product. But definitely an original thought in the right direction along the lines of the Zeo Racer.

I like it! I was almost hesitant to buy this zord after seeing it's rather pitiful prototype at toy fair, but these pics make it look promising. The added mega winger mode increases the coolness factor many times, especially since the mini zord functionality doesn't match up.

It's a cool American exclusive! I'd like to see more zords like this, but this'll be the last, I'm guessing.

I will probably buy this. He's cute in a way.

Now the question remains. Which key will he come with, In Space or Ninja Storm?

5, 4, 3, 2, 1...ninjas! In space!

This is up there with the Samurai "Spider" Zord that's just to insane not to love. :lol

How about a Green Samurai Ranger key (Ninja Storm) or a Silver Space Ranger key please..? :cry

Super Megaforce Red Ranger key.

Because.

So while the Super Megaforce show is just dubbed over scraps of sentai footage, the toy line is trying to do something new? (albeit really crappily), I can dig it. I don't care for zords anyway but I'd almost be willing to buy this if it somehow leads to an even more creative BoA down the line, which feeds back into Saban and the shows.

Both. It comes with two keys.
