Default Original Megazords

We've had original villains, original vehicles, original power-ups, and original rangers. But we've never even once got an original megazord. I've always wanted to see original megazords but what about you guys? And would you guys mind if they put original megazords just fir the sake of it?

They don't even film zord footage by themselves. Why would they spend the money to outright create a new zord and film it?

At least the other stuff relates to what they already film. And if Bandai really think four "Megazords" a series isn't enough, say hello to the Ninja Train Megazord or Space Cube Megazord.

That requires knowledge and expertise in the filming techniques that create the illusion of large scale battles, as well as suits that work as a toy and look better on screen. At best, you'd end up with an MMPRS2 situation. Japan's just much better at this thing than we are.

Unless Saban make a partnership with Toei, but it would be too expensive.

I keep thinking about that we could've had Titanium Crawler.

I think that the often times "cheap" look of the American costumes such as the MMPR rangers in promo shots and in my opinion, the Titanium ranger, should discourage them from this idea. Saban can't handle individual characters, I don't see them successfully handling a zord.

I suppose Ninja/Shogun Ultrazord don't count as US original zords because they mix Sentai mecha.

It's a shame they don't use more toys to make footage of US-exclusive Zords. The Dino/Thunder Zord transformation sequence was fairly decent and surely with modern technology such things would look even better.

And it's not as if they don't know how to make good Zord fights using suits. Season 3 also had some really pretty original Megazord fights (Although of course, they still used Sentai Mech rather than US exclusive Zords because I guess creating a US Zord suit would be to expensive). They were filmed outdoors and so made a nice change of pace from the Sentai ones (Although visually they didn't make sense as they had city buildings in a forest). It's a shame they didn't do more over the years.

The destruction of the thunder megazords was original footage. Although Sentai suits were used.

Same goes for the zord fight in A Friend in Need (one episode earlier), an episode which used a non-Sentai monster.

The closest we've come is when MMPR did the Ultra Ninja Megazord by using the Ninja Megazord and Titanus toys. Of course that's a Megazord combination and all.
