Top 5 worst Zordbuilder Megazord compromises

Ойын-сауық

Since 2010, Bandai's American Megazord line has been crafted on 'Zordbuilder' joints. Here are 5 times when the final product left much to be desired...
FEELING IMPATIENT? HERE'S
SPOILERS OF THE SELECTION
WITH TIMECODES:
5 Titano Charge Megazord 01:25
4 Legendary Megazord 04:24
3 Lion Fire Fortress 06:08
2 Samurai Megazord 08:31
1 Mega Tigerzord 10:33
---
Where to buy it
At time of publish, only the Lion Fire Fortress is still available for retail purchase, and as it's so large and such a high price point, it probably won't be around for long-!
The rest you can find on eBay for a price - none of them are that old though, so should at least be readily available new or used.

    Personally, I didn't mind all the pegs too much for the Legendary Megazord, I wasn't expecting it to be that good. What drove me away from the Super Megaforce molds was the absolute BULLSHIT they pulled with the Red Lion Wildzord: the only aux critter I had any interest in (due to Samurai mode), and the mode looks NOTHING like it's supposed to. Where Shinken Gokaioh looked badass & imposing, Samurai Legendary Megazord looked like a crack addicted tree...to the point where one would be better off just using the helmet, Lion head, and the actual Samurai Megazord limbs instead. Honestly, even with the Gokai Machines, I only had interest in Gokaioh & Gaolion...

It pissed me off to No End when I found that not only had they completely removed it, but had done so to the detriment of the entire zord's integrety.

    I know that prices might be rising. I dunno the reason behind why they couldn't just import the Japanese toys but why..why would they make them like this? Ninja Legacy Megazord was the only megazord that FELT like an adult collector's item and there was only a few things you can take it off to give his legs more flex. Why couldn't they just work around the Tigerzord or even the Dragonzord and Thunderzord designs? Could they just bring in someone like Shoji Kawamori or even Shinji Aramaki to design how the toys would work without it being a parts-forming thing?! Bandai of America has NO accomplishments whatsoever compared to its Japanese estate which got WAAAY more better with its Gunplas and Figuarts and Artisans. What does America of Bandai have that BoJ doesn't? Nothing.

  • @PhelesDragon

    With the Legacy MegaTigerzord, since it's mostly a display piece and not a "toy" in the sense that it's intended to be played with, I found you can still store most or all the extra parts. Bare in mind I'm not a sucker for screen accuracy, in fact I actually leave the firebird weapon off altogether and give it to the Red Dragonzord, so this may not benefit everyone. I actually use the katana sheath chain to wrap the sword around the torso of the final form, the helmet of the Thunder Megazord can be clipped backward off the back off the Lion and hang mostly out of sight on a shelf, the silver thigh guards can loosely hang in the chasms left by the flip put zord builder ports that connect to the bottom of the Tigerzord, and the tiger feet can actually be left where they are just folded up flush against the thighs of the MegaTigerzord. That last one I actually prefer both for the combination and the final look, as it brings over more of the tiger aesthetic in the MegaTigerzord. I'm the kinda guy who prefers well integrated beast kibble adding to the animal motif of my giant(or not so giant) robots.

    they dropped the DX molds to reduce costs the US toys are now all new molds the zord builder was aimed at keeping play value longer as one series zords can swap parts with the current shows toys. basically letting you do you own teamup zord combos. the Legacy line uses it because the first mrgazord out was an reissue of the 2010 mmpr line megazord with some parts redone as diecast. the legacy dragonzord was made to zordbuilder spec because the 2010 mold was used.

    The regular toys could still be of better quality, and there is literally no reason why they had to use Zord-builder for the Legacy line, as they're meant for collectors and they could've just NOT reused the 2010 MMPR molds and/or dumped the gimmick entirely once they got to the Season 2 Megazords.

    Otaking Mikohani ironically bandai Japan has the artisan line for sentai that reissues old toys with new chrome parts. But for zyuranger reused bandai America mmpr legacy molds. The simple fact was that the DX molds will not pass us safety regs. I think they thought that the zord builder would work for the thunderzords but the suit armor style used to wrap the dragon zord would not work so the assault team was made to be both like the old toy and transform to have the ports.

    Jeffrey Piatt "Won't pass safety regs?" Even if these weren't aimed at adult collectors, what could possibly be in those old molds that wouldn't fly today? It's not like we're dealing with G1 Megatron here. And while the fact that BoA didn't design the Legacy White Tiger Zord with the other Thunder Zords in mind is indeed an explanation, it's not an excuse. They should've had the foresight to design them all at the same time in order to make sure that they work together properly. It would be like designing a jigsaw puzzle one piece at a time - just because it looks like the shapes and pictures will go together, doesn't mean it always will.

There were too many variables to play with and now,BoA has lost all respect. I hope they're happy.

    I have a love/hate relationship with zordbuilder. I like that I can crossover different megazords, but bandai does not plan ahead. The Falconzord just slides into the back of the ninja megazord and falls off easily. They put clips on the Falconzord wings, hinting at the shogun megazord coming, but we are not getting that apparently. And the Mega dragonzord is so top heavy that it just falls over. I hope hasbro keeps zordbuilder but makes improvements to it.

    Great review! Another zord builder design I dislike is the knee joint of legacy megazord with the triceratops and sabertooth tiger. Such connection makes the megazord knee so weak that every time forming the ultrazord or mega dragonzord makes it top-super-heavy and will fall forward anytime. Unlike the DX and chogokin versions, the T-Rex knee plug in completely into the triceratops and sabertooth tiger, this is much secure connection to prevent the top heavy problem.

But one day, I saw it a glimpse of power ranger merchandise, a samurai megazord .There was a lot of megazords in the store that day. I said to my mom could I buy the megazord but she said "If you get a good score this year I will buy it ." Because of that I study my ass off to get that megazord . That year I got really good scores. But I offortunately ,I chose the samurai megazord . Literally the third mode of the megazord was gone. That disappointed me so much that they compromise the symbol shape whatever you call it mode.Well it's still saddened me to this day 😔. At least I got good scores. 😀

I have the legacy Thunder Zord I like how solid it feels in places and its pose ability and overall more screen accuracy than the original, it has been setting on my shelf for years now, never tipped over nothing fell off. I'm not a huge collector, I just mainly want all of the words up to the first movie. I really want the original megazord but a rerelease that is more poseable like my legacy thunder zord but I saw that the first legacy one had some issues with the legs or something kind of like this video with the tigerzord. So What version of the original 1st megazord do you guys recommend? I do plan on getting the dragon zord and tiger zord later I may sometimes display it with them combined .

    With the Legacy line, BOA should have just re-released the original molds with die cast parts and paint apps. This is supposed to be a collector's line, so I don't understand why they would incorporate Zord Builder with it. Collectors generally are willing to pay a higher price if the quality is there, and sadly, with the Tigerzord, and arguably the entire Thunder Megazord line, it just wasn't. And I don't want the excuse that the original molds weren't available, because Japan re-released Dairen'Oh, using the original molds as the first toy, though with die cast, paint apps, and a few extra accessories, and it was fantastic. Really wish I'd gotten my hands on it. I'm just surprised they didn't re-release Dai Tiger with it (I believe that was the Japanese name for the Tigerzord). Either way, BOA just wanted to cash in on the Zord Builder gimmick, or at least that's my theory as to why their collector's line included it. I know they have SOC, but that seems to be a higher end collector's line, considering the price points, and there's no guarantee we will ever get a Thunder Megazord release, or a Tigerzord for that matter. And that's a crying shame that BOA dropped the ball so hard with this one

    it was Saban who skipped seasons and not the other way around as you stated. even the decision for dropping Dairanger to make Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2 and just keeping Kiba Ranger / White Ranger ( do you know why? because Saban thought that a new cast of characters might alienate the current viewers. yet come to think of it, the cast was replaced eventually.) dropping Kakuranger to make Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 3 (first half to be precise) The FALCON ZORD was not piloted by a Ranger! There was no Pink Ranger in Kakuranger. The "Giant Beast General White Kark" (White Shogunzord in PR), "Beast General Fighter Battle Kark" (White Battle Borg) & Super Stealth Beast God Kark (Crane Ninjazord in PR) was Piloted by the NinjaWhite(Tsurihime) of Kakuranger. When it was go-buster's turn to be adapted, Saban was skeptic as there were less usable footage as there were less costumed and more unmasked, this would mean that Saban would need more cost to adapt the season, as it would need more filming (technically Go-Buster only had an average of 5 minutes worth of usable footage, and by saying usable footage, this means that the characters are in costumes / rangers suits / megazord battles. while the other seasons had about 10-12 minutes of costumed action scenes) leading to Saban to drop the Season and use the next Super Sentai Series instead. Why? because it's less costly to film the remaining 13-15 minutes that to do 20 minutes of the show. and if your saying Bandai is keeping the pressure due to the gimmicks, why would Bandai bother to create a new cast and mold for the US versions when the already had the Japan Versions ready and were already earning a fortune from it as these toys were selling good also in neighboring countries of Japan. If you think of it logically, the US Versions would cost NEW MOLDS, NEW DESIGNS. and you know why US Version toys has dropped a lot of the Japan Versions toy features? It's also because Saban wanted the toys to be sold at a lower price. this is quantity over quality.

    I'd throw in Goseigrand, Goseiultimate, and Goseijet (aka Goseiwonder) Megazords as dishonorable mentions. Check it: Goseigrand: With the Lion being a vehicular "playset" to justify the $25 price, the Knight Brothers were separately sold and modified into the cheap ten dollar bikes that nobody pays attention to. So it's insanely easy to miss them, especially if poor distribution kept them outta stores around you. Goseiultimate: This isn't so much for the Zordbuilder System as it is for the design language of it, along with the main gimmick of the Megaforce zords in relation to the Goseiger mecha. Because of how the shrinkdown & slimming down works, this adaptation of the Goseiger version *loses* the detachable Headder gimmick I'm the chest. Between this and the abomination of the Ultra Dragon Sword (the adaptation of the Super Gosei Staff), we actually DO NOT have zord compatible Miracle Headders/Ultra Mode Zords. Goseijet: The purple Goseibird (repaint of Goseidragon with a new Headder) was all by itself as another $25 vehicle "playset". Making matters worse, the other four Wonder Headders were split (two apiece) to be part of these hideous lawnmower looking $15 bike things. And to add insult to injury, they kept the annoying thing from the Japanese version in that of you wanted to have Goseiwonder AND Goseigreat displayed, you literally _needed_ a second copy of Goseigreat, since the Dolphin, Kabuto, Elephant, & Alligator Wonder Headders all occupied the spots on Shark, Phoenix, Tiger, & Snake (with Bird obviously replacing the Dragon entirely).

    Fair enough that Bandai redesigned the original Dairen-oh and added improved figures of the Dairangers that stand on top of the Zords. The major bonus many wanted are the Lai-Lai Jewels, and a complete set at that, because we only got Red and White's Jewels that light up. Also, in your opinion, do you wish Bandai Japan would reissue the Legacy Ninja Megazord and Falconzord so that they can make a proper Shogun Megazord branded under the Super Sentai Artisan line? Of course it's Kakuranger and they got better for their last run but failed to make the Shogun Megazord before the buyout is complete, but one can still dream because Zordbuilder can still breathe new life to that.

    It's insane that the Dinocharge critters largely turned out way better than the Super Megaforce ones. I missed out on the Titanocharge Megazord because it was VERY poorly distributed, even moreso than Ankylo & Pachy!! Speaking of compromises, here's a couple honorable mentions: · Goseiultimate losing the Headder compatibility (and NO compatible heads were ever made) in favor of keeping the size & scale in line with the other Megazords. This was replaced with the rather weak Command Center mode. At least they kept the even dumber backpack mode (attaching it to Goseigreat, which I thought was pretty stupid in Goseiger, too). · Speaking of Megaforce, the Brother Jets and Hyper Headder/Ultra Change Zord being slapped onto a crappy Knight Brother Bike repaint. The Jets I can understand, Datas (and Datas Hyper) wasn't used in Megaforce, so these are a great way to explain the Sky/Land/Sea Brothers in the Hyper/Ultra Goseigreat formation...which the show didn't bother with. But the Hyper Headder as a bike was just dumb. Why? · Goseigrand's handling. Marketing Grandion/Lion Mechazord as a separate vehicle akin to the BoA exclusive Tiger Tank from Samurai was one thing, but it forced the Knight Brother legs to be rethought and thus marketed as crappy bikes nobody usually cares about. And the bikes were poorly distributed at that. (Ultra Change had better distribution) Goseigrand should've just been marketed as a complete Megazord, with Ultra Change included. · Goseijet Megazord. I get selling Goseijet by itself, it's kinda what BoJ did with Goseibird. BUT!! Instead of packing in the other Wonder Headders, Goseijet is again marketed as a crappy vehicle (like Lion Mechazord) with a crappy Red Ranger & harness...and the other Wonder Headders were slapped onto these craptastic lawnmower looking things (two per mower) that were marketed as bike types!! So instead of just having to get a second Goseigreat & Goseiwonder set if you wanted to display Goseiwonder separately (because you still needed the bodies of Shark, Phoenix, Snake, & Tiger for the Dolphin, Kabuto, Alligator, & Elephant Headders), you had to get a second Goseigreat AND the two lawnmowers AND Goseijet if you wanted to display the Goseijet Megazord separately from Goseigreat!! · On to Dinocharge: Spinozord's boomerang spine being replaced by a crappy missile launcher spine that only the Stegozord body mold arm critters (Stego, Tricera, Ankylo) can hold properly; a problem exacerbated by the fact that the arms of the Megazords DO weaken over time at the shoulders (as far as holding up for poses; this is a problem across the entire Zordbuilder board, actually, since the tabs & ports are smaller and apparently softer plastic), and the Spinozord's missile launcher is just too heavy for its own good. There's no excuse at all for such a change, not when they didn't do something so dumb to the Tyrannozord (which Spinozord was a retool of to begin with)...

    The tigerzord felt like they were aiming for it to work with the Dino Zords out at the time the design team then got stuck during the development of the Thunderzords and had to include adaptors for ZORD builder since those zords would not work with it. With the core Zord being a full humanoid Zord. The dx toys used friction connectors clipping to the joints. Zord builder is a 5mm peg system. The ninja Zords faired better with the Falconzord dropping the pegs and staying a friction attachment the main 5 were Zord builder and could kinda work with the older toys but only the arms had pegs on the bear so only accessory arm Zords could swap in.
