The reason for the different feel in the zords onwards.... Japan started to use a diecast, especially with the joints and connectors The US, when importing them for the west, turned those back to plastic. So lots of weight where now being put on smaller, weaker joints and pegs made of a much lower strength material

The "at the time" is important, since Turbo was released in 1997; at that time, Transformers was solidly in the Beast Era and vehicle combiners had been off the shelves since the G2 combiners in 1994.

Let's be honest, Wild Force's whole gimmick was limb and torso swapping, so a shit ton of potential torso-limb combos is inherently a thing with that series.

Of course the Turbo Megazord was the most powerful Megazord ever! How could it not be with the Zeo Powers ONLY powered by an alien crystal than got stronger over time! My god, I’ll never understand why they went from that to... cars. Funny how the Phantam Ranger just happened to have a set of Zords that we’re thematically and mechanically compatible with the Turbo Zords! Coincidence? Would have been good if he’d turned up a year later; “I brought you new Zords, Rangers!”.... “Err... we have spaceships now...”

As a kid I just assumed the Zeo powers were the base of the Turbo powers, and Zordon given his experience and data from previous zords could make them more powerful, however PR as a franchise loves to state the "most powerful zord ever" all the time, I think they did that in at least LSR off the top of my head.

@scooter-wy3qs

My new headcanon is that fan theory that the Rangers abandoned the Zeo powers because as the powers increased in strength they became unstable and therefore dangerous for continuous use, at least for humans. Jason had to give up the Gold Ranger powers when it started to drain his life force.

Fun fact, the limb changing combination, was canon in carranger.

The Turbo Rescue Zords were my first ever spoiler warning moment in Power Rangers. I saw a toy ad for these Zords in an issue of Fox Kids magazine, weeks before they aired on TV. I was so happy to see them on screen!

I think the Rescue megazord looks better with turbo legs.

Now that you mention it, I noticed when watching the video that the legs did seem more proportional when the limbs were swapped.

"who knows, maybe 2020 sentai zords will introduce some double-changing zords again" i can't believe you predicted zenkaiger

Coming back to older reviews and hearing "Happy 2020". Oh we had no idea.

Not just my favorite Megazord/Mecha, but probably my favorite Mecha ever

God, I remember getting that zord for christmas that year. Also owned the White tiger megazord, ninja megazord, zeo megazord and shogun megazord. Never got to own the legacy versions, though.

Gotta quick stop you on saying that this was further ahead than transformers. As both are based on japanese shows, the first transformers series came out in japan in 1984. and included the Constructicons. later on the Scramble City combiners. (all came with individual vehicle, and robot modes, as well as a combined mode. Scramble city even came with swappable limb bots) However, all transformer combiners came with extra bits for combinations (legs, arms, usually the head and chest) So from that regard yes, the engineering on this toy for all inclusive parts works in it's favor. and each individual piece. Even now most combiners have their combiner feet and combiner hands as separate pieces. Power rangers, and Super Sentai, focus more on the combined robot (and thusly use the hands inside of the bots...if there are hands), whereas transformers have aimed more for individual robot/vehicles, and when they combine they can combine, at the sacrifice of one of their modes (sacrifice as in, weak posability, obvious robot kibble in vehicle mode or vice versa) Sentai toys tend to ignore that in the designs for combining, using the gimmick of how they combine being the big part. And.....looking at the individual robot modes articulation, and vehicle modes, it looks like that was what was sacrificed for the combined mode.

@hopelessclown

Жыл бұрын

The individual robot modes of the G1 combiners always looked like crap, and the combined modes weren't very impressive either, even with tons of partsforming. I think the Turbo Rescue Megazord would have actually been really impressive had it released in the Transformers toyline as a combiner.

Do y'all think somehow the turbo rescue zords are somehow related to the lightspeed zords?

Turbo Rescue (VRV)'s Pink were very similar to Ohranger Blocker (Super Zeo)'s Pink, both split into half and tuck their head in into one half.

To be honest, the combination with Tor was never really a great ultrazord. However, the Turbo rangers did have a Ultrazord combination if you take into consideration of how Tor's and Pyramidus' combination was achieved. It was just simply never used.

not gonna lie, this video made me order one for myself. stickers are in great shape, only in a few spots are they peeling, no real scuffs that ruin the stickers. So far it feels really satisfying to transform them. only problem is one of the guns on the red rescue zord are broken, but the seller was kind enough to give me the broken gun bit, so I can probably just super glue it back on.

Good going. If you Google '3d printed turbo rescue megazord' the top result is someone selling the little guns for $14

The part when you mentioned the plastic quality slowly degrading over every season went over my head till I rewatched this. According to veteran CCLemon99 many years ago he claimed that ever since Bandai opened their new branches in China and Thailand the plastic quality kept getting worse and worse, and Liveman's Live Robo in the 80s was the peak.

1:40,well there was a reason they needed the Rescue zords. In Power Rangers Turbo,General Havoc basically outwitted the Turbo Megazord with his Metallosaurus,basically trumping it along with his robot soldiers and leaving the Rangers without any zords to control. Phantom Ranger basically helped them while Metallosaurus destroys the city and yeah,the Rangers threw everything they did at Metallosaurus with Lightning Cruiser,Turbo Cannon,etc. It didn't work. Also,the Rescue Megazord eventually had to face the Turbo Megazord,controlled by not only Divatox's monster - Crosspatch but also the Phantom Ranger's Phantom Rubyw which was basically his reactor/Spark if we're speaking TF logic/lingo. It was a pretty good arc tbh. Also,the reason why combining individual robots were used was one reason - The Brave series which was running at the time of Sentai so the synergy was huuuuuge! And this was one feature the Braves/Yuusha (made by Takara who also did Transformers) did: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gXarzZVrYtCXgZc.html So basically the Rescue Megazord was using the same thing but with a little tech used from Machine Robo/Gobots,also made by Bandai themselves,presumably the Puzzler tech: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYCftrdqopO5ns4.html

Actually ur 100% correct, the Turbo Megazord, Robo Racer, Artillatron & Turbo Rescue Megazord from USA 1997-1998 Power Rangers Turbo are all 23 Years Old also as well as Aru Bui (RV) Robo, Sairendā, Bikutorērā & Bui Aru Bui (VRV) Robo from Japan 1996-1997 Gekisou Sentai Karenja are all 24 Years Old.

This was the megazord I wanted so bad as a kid but couldn’t find it. What hurt the most. Lost my Turbo Megazord as well. Though I do have the carrier zord.

The Turbo Megazord was stolen by the villains, that's why they give the rangers new zords.

Also,if you look carefully on both Megazords. They look more like mechanized mechanics. The blue zords are basically overalls while the heads are kinda like helmets which is fitting considering in Carranger,some of them including Yellow Racer is a mechanic. The flap behind Turbo Megazord might be something like a hoodie which is odd but hey,it fits.

Love this Zord

Red Rangers and humanish zords are a great love story ;-)

Personally I think proportion wise taking the legs from the turbo megazord and putting them with the turbo rescue megazord looks the best imho.

Kinda odd they removed the die cast parts from vrv dx

1:48 That's similar to the Combiner teams in Transformers, since Hasbro owns the Power Rangers brand since 2018.

Yo tengo ese megazord!! me lo regalaron cuando era muuuy niño y la verdad no tenia idea de que era tan genial!

It appears even this toy cant escape the fate of time. It might just be mine, but the soft cannons on vrv robo have snapped.

I had this as a kid, either the Japanese version or a knockoff (I got it from one of those local Asian boutique type things you see around). On the version I had the blasters were also that shiny chrome plastic and they fit really firm into the hands, such that I broke them trying to get them out. Overall I did really like the toy though

I’m getting rv robo & the turbo rescue megazord from ebay so will i be able to combine them?

Just got this Megazord today at a local toy shop. It has a few minor problems with it but over all good. It is messing the black clips on the legs and no blasters. Got it for $65.

I had this back then, the carranger version, no less. One of my favourite zords ever. I have to say though, it looked better when the grey parts are actually chrome colored. Now if they going to make a super minipla version of these zords though... Oddly enough, i dont have any problem with the limb swapping thing. In fact, i was actually looking for the RV robo so i can limb swap the zords, but i never got one & i didn’t dare to buy the PR version because i worried it would be different. Well i was 10 back then so i didn’t know if the connection will be different or not.

I think they shouldve appeared when the cast got changed, and the New rangers Would have to make Their own new Zords
