Go, Galactic!

More Power Rangers Super Megaforce toys are making their way slowly but surely to retail. The latest of these figures is the Lost Galaxy Cycle with Red Ranger Key!

This vehicle is inspired by the original bike itself from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. The original Lost Galaxy Astro Cycle featured some removable armor components that could attach to an included Red Ranger figure. The Super Megaforce verion is a bit more simplistic. The bike mysteriously features a removable head. The lion's head pops right off on a couple tabs but it can't be combined with any other Zords in any discernible way. My guess would be that all of the Cycles feature swappable heads but that's about it.

The Lost Galaxy Cycle shares some minor design cues with the original and even though that's the vehicle it's based on, that's where the similarities end. Included with this release are a Red Lost Galaxy ranger Key and a Super Mega Red Ranger mini-figure. The mini-figure is posed in the permanent cycle riding stance seen here, so it can't do too much on it's own.

The Cycle features an interactive Ranger Key gimmick like all the other Zords & Vehicles as well. In this case you pull back the bike on it's rear wheels which builds up tension. Insert the Ranger Key, turn it to the right, and the bike launches forward on the built up tension. It's actually pretty fun and creative and adds some needed play value to the set.

Unfortunately the combined modes with this vehicle leave a bit to be desired. Intended to be used in conjunction with either the Time Force Cycle or Lightspeed Rescue Cycle, this one won't do you much good when used as a leg. Because there are no moving parts in the cycle it can't become a standard leg. So without two of them, the leg combo is a no go. As an arm you get one big lanky appendage. This is less of a deal breaker though as it can still be used individually. The look works better with a pair of the cycles.

As with Mystic Dragon, Delta Runner, and Zeo Racer, no name is given for the combinations created when using the various Legendary Cycles.
