PR2017 Interactive Megazord In-Hand Look

Dormamu · 11-16-2016, 08:33 AM

This video is my reason to still even have any interest in the movie. Andre is my jam of the day. :-)

As a toy, it's not bad. As a throwback to Power Rangers, no. Just...no.

It is the epitome of cuntish behaviour and I'm shocked at how much I'm seeing it, as if there is no middle ground between low-budget guys in bulky suits, and an overdetailed complete stylistic departure from all that's come before.

I still don't like the designs, but I'm willing to accept you like how alien they look. People who use the above arguement though, have no respect from me.

Adding a few more color details won't do anything to change your mind when it's the literal design you don't like anyway. :/ It literally has nothing to do with it.

And I'm just not thrilled with these.

Again, the toys really aren't the best way to judge what they'll actually look like due to a severe lack of paint and detail and everything that gets lost in translation (which is a shame considering how stuff like Transformers can do fairly good representations of on-screen counterparts, is Bandai really just that cheap?). They're..really different, but I like the blend of alien and prehistoric.

Except people are saying the design itself is garbage.

And the toy is a good way to judge that.

Has anyone posted this yet? Maybe it needs it's own thread? I don't know. But anyway, I actually think the morpher looks kind of cool.

SPLIT LIP · 11-16-2016, 05:43 PM

I posted that on page 2.

I wish the shutter properly closed.

I can respect that. We coo man, we coo.

I don't like spider mammoth or bug triceratops. It's not aesthetically pleasing or consistent with anything else presented.
I hate that they have cockpits instead of faces. The only two that try not to be fuckugly with the cockpits are the triceratops and the tiger (Though it does look like the mammoth has an eye, but considering how clustered and underpainted these things are, it's hard to tell until I can see the CG model).
I really dislike the alien aesthetic. It makes for an unwieldy design that's been so overused since the 90's that "Original" is one of the last words I can use to describe it. The final, combined megazord I still just don't like. It looked like they made every wrong choice in designing it.

Do you guys think Zordon was possibly drunk when designing the Megazord?

Zordon: "And let's...let's see....that Mastodon has.....one, two, three, four, five....."
Alpha: "???"
Zordon: "six, seven, EIGHT legs. It's got eight legs!"
Alpha: "Goddamnit Zordon! Can you just put the whiskey down for one second?!"

The belt kinda reminds me of the Arcle from Kuuga, Agito's belt, and the Ghost driver if they got packed into one.
