Was the Astro Megazord really a Megazord?

[Sunfire Ranger]

If it has 5, 3, or 2 individual zords which form a robot, it's a megazord.
Ex. Zeo Megazord

If it starts out as a ship, animal or a vehicle and transforms into a robot, it's a megazord.
Ex: White TigerZord.
I quote Tommy: "Tigerzord, convert to warrior mode now!"

Megazord is probally like a zord that has a more complicated structures then a standard zord.

I'm not saying the individual zords are megazords. What I was trying to say:
A megazord can consist of individual zords which combine to form one big zord.
Also, a megazord can just be one individual zord which can form into one big zord.
My motto is: If the robot is big or huge, it's a megazord.
Obviously, the Mini-zord is NOT a megazord. Why? It's a SMALL individual zord.

I believe a megazord is just a more complicated zord. Like the tigerzord or samuari star megazord or the delta megazord are all more advanced then the rescue zords in robot mode. I mean there structure is totally different. Also you can argue that the delta zord is a megazord because it splits up when combining with the astromegazord into like 5 different peices which could be considered zords.

The same thing goes for the Astro Megaship, it's a ship that becomes a bigger zord, or in this case, just a zord, since the Astro Megaship isn't techinicaly a zord. So, it's a Megazord, just like the Tiger Zord, the Mega Winger, the Delta Megazord, etc.

It's that, or: In the Power Rangers' world, every big thing that transforms into another big thing is a Megazord by default.

Yes! Someone finally gave the Megazord philosophy!

[justsomeguy]

As far as I'm concerned, any large, major zord that is capable of transforming into a humanoid robot mode (or only has that mode), and is capable of effectively fighting a monster uncombined with other zords is a Megazord.
Astro Megazord, Delta Megazord, Defender Torozord, Q-Rex, Shadow Megazord, and Samurai Star Megazord are definitely Megazords. They can all kick butt uncombined, either alone or supporting a multipart Megazord.
Red Dragon Thunderzord, White Tiger Thunderzord, the Battle Borgs, Super Zeo Zords, Turbo Rescuezords, Robo Racer, and Max Solarzord are more dubious, but I do not regard them as Megazords. These either spend most of their time combined with other zords during battle, or were by themselves mostly ineffective.

The rescuezords had humanoid modes, but were not indiviual megazords.


For that matter the Delta Megazord was not a megazord either.

Only the Mega Voyager was technically a megazord in PRIS.

that's actually factually incorrect if it was just a transforming zord then the Megazord wouldn't have needed the Shuttle at all but it needed the Shuttle and the Megaship in order to form the Megazord so yes that alone does make it a Megazord but you do have an argument for the Delta Megazord as well as the Mega Winger since they were just transforming zords but the Mega Voyager was most definitely a Megazord.

yes it's not called a Megazord but I still consider it one.

yea the whole Time Shadow and Q-Rex Megazord stuff is old.

I don't know why they call the Samurai Star a Megazord either. It's pretty stupid if you ask me.

yea the Tigerzord isn't but the Megatigerzord is. I do agree that it's bad.

bad comparison since the Samurai Star is just a single component that transforms from helicopter to human mode while the Astro Megazord is a combination of 2 components the ship and the Shuttle so you should try that again.

same here

he's right the Rescuezords were pretty much typical size.

It was never once said that the Astro Megaship or the Shuttle are zords.

I mean, they were never called zords

perhaps but Astronema referred to the shuttle as the Megazord Shuttle.

You say, you dont consider Astro Megazord a Megazord, yet consider the Mega Voyager? That makes no since. Both are Megazords.

Kongazord, predazord, both are megazords.

yea I agree that it doesn't make any sense but I do agree with you about Kongazord and Predazord.

NOw, battle borgs & High sance rescue zords. They are iffy. Same with red dragon & White tiger thunder zords. They are a battle mode of a zord.

Is Torozord considered a megazord? Why not robo racer?

yes you're right about the Red Dragonzord and Tigerzord but I do agree that their classification would be iffy same with the Battle Borgs and Rescuezords. I don't know if the Defender Torozord but if you go by the current naming scheme it would be considered one. I don't know about the Robo Racer but its Battle Mode would probably be considered one.
