The thing about the Megazord also sounds kind of stupid. It's the same problem with "trasnscanning" from Transformers where it takes all the engineering appeal out of multiple robots designed to transform and combine. It's never fun when the powers or gear can just do whatever they want.

Also I never said the turtles should take colours matching the personality, I was referring to the weapons. Red has a sword, give it to the turtle who uses swords. The yellow ranger has sais, give it to the turtle that uses sais, etc. The fact that both leaders use swords and both nerds use a staff are just coincidence. Or if they really must have their preferred colours (kinda) have the turtles be forced to use weapons they're not familiar with. If that's the case then why aren't the weapons exact duplicates of their preferred weapons? Is Donnie really much of an axe guy?

It's still brand recognition. MMPR Black has an axe. So Donnie get's an Axe but it's altered a little. Just like how Superman has an S. Spider-man shoots webs. A few decades late there.

The Zord thing isn't really all that stupid given what Boom has done with it. They keep it consistent.

I think you need to actually read the comic as seeing it in action is different then me describing it through my pov.




Outside colors and weapons, can anyone describe what sets the turtles physically apart?

The last cartoon they were in made them different kinds of turtles so they were all physically different. But with the status quo they all look the same

Honestly the comic makes it all work. The turtles are easy to identify while morphed and the weapons are familiar from the PR side and the TMNT side. I found it all creative.
