Honestly I understand why they did it. Assumedly all non-mecha Ultimate Powers will not receive episodes because of the 20 episodes limit, so I can get why they'd choose the make Gozyujin also an old mecha rather then an outlier, because it makes less sense if all the other powers are mecha.

They could've done the same thing though by saying that the Time Force rebuilt Dragonzord, Q-Rex, and White Dragon into a single Megazord.

Oh sh*t!? Thinking about it... I thought it was a new name inspired by the Q-Rex. But the Q-Rex's Megazord mode was called "Q-Rex Megazord". #recycling

Oh no...

Well the Quantum Ranger's powers are from the future. He doesn't necessarily need to be present to be involved with the Zord. Especially when they can contact the future and vice-versa whenever.

I remember seeing it once...

When Time Force started, they used the Q-Rex to test the time gate. It went through and was lost in time along with the controller box. Normal people would have used a probe or something LOL!

Every other episode showed GojyuDrill emerging from a portal into the present without showing the future.

Is it, though?

Because before now I NEVER thought the blue dino from Gokaiger looked like the Dragon Zord in any capacity. What similarities exist are too generic, and the largest, iconic aspect of the design like the head crest and gold sheild parts on the arms are not present.

Hastags? Really?

Actually, it makes sense. Sending a tiny probe doesn't mean you'll be able to send anything else. Considering the time travel was being developed for large ships and Megazords, it only makes sense to test it with something resembling it will actually be transporting.

Just because it may work at small scale, doesn't mean it'll work at large scale.

That seems needlessly over-complicated.

They don't need to homage everything in everything. having it just be a new Q-rex is cooler than some convolted multi-homage that doesn't even come across.

Gee, I wonder if Saban will come up with a good explanation as to how the Q-Rex changed between Time Force and Super Megaforce.

NOPE.

ZeoRangerV · 01-09-2014, 10:58 AM

I guess they just thought the drill tail would carry the homage by itself

Gozyu Rex is a homage to the spirit of Zyuranger mecha (although Tyrannozaurus and Dragon Caesar especially). Gozyu Rex is not specifically based on any Zyuranger mecha, the fact that Dragonranger gave him the Ultimate Power (alongside the other three dead sixth rangers) and that it has a drill tail are happy coincidences more then anything. It is not in any way meant to actually be Dragon Caesar, unlike Gaolion, Magidragon, Patstriker and Fuuraimaru.

Right, I'm just saying I remember seeing it around.

NOPE.

Or it could be just a new Zord with the same name. The Red Lion (GaoLion) had the same issue in Gokaiger.

It's probably just "rebuilt" dude. Seriously, you don't need to instantly jump on sour bus. At least wait until we know Saban has yet again screwed something up.
