Another day, another Super Megaforce gallery!

Today we're taking a look at the Deluxe Legendary Zord Armor Ranger set recently released with the Deluxe Gosei Great Zord Armor Ranger as part of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce toyline.

This set is loosely based on the Legendary Megazord but has a more cohesive red, black, and silver color scheme. The Megazord has 8 limited points of articulation including 3 in each arm and 1 in each hip. As a part of the Zord Builder system, this Megazord has a total of 10 ports including 2 male connector pegs and 2 female ports on the torso, 1 male connector peg on each 'forearm weapon', 2 female ports in each shoulder piece, and 1 male connector peg in each hip.

The set comes with a 4 inch Super Megaforce Red Ranger figure that is able to fit in and 'pilot' the Megazord. The Ranger figure has 4 points of articulation and a simplistic paint job on top of red plastic. The figure comes with no weapons.

The right Cannon 'forearm' of the Zord Armor Megazord can be detached and placed in the chest of the DX Legendary Megazord. The left 'Key' forearm of the Zord Armor can be detached and used in either the DX Legendary Megazord or the DX Legendary Morpher. When used with the morpher it unlocks the Super Megaforce Red and Summon Skyship sounds.

With the Zord Armor Megazord's multiple Zord builder pegs and ports, multiple cross-line combinations can be made. The two 'official' combinations shown between the item's box art and instructions are to attach the arms to the DX Legendary Megazord or to use the whole armor as an arm on the DX Megazord.

All in all, the DX Legendary Zord Armor set is an odd one. It's a gimmick-filled toy simply made to pad out the toy line, but it does have a lot of playability. The integration of the key gimmick as a weapon/arm/ is clever and so far, this set is the only way to get the chest cannon to complete the DX Legendary Megazord.
