I'm building my own Dino Megazord... one Zord at a time

After 10,000 years, we're back! I'm starting a passion project/series and re-creating something that defined my childhood. I'm redesigning and building the original combining Megazord from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The first Zord is the blue ranger's "Triceratops that turns into a foot" Zord.
And a HUGE thanks to all the support from everyone on Patreon!

Extremely excited to see where this series goes The change in aesthetic is already great, but the added functionality as an actual combiner is so impressive

[@shadowednight1600]

If I'm being smart about this guess Sabertooth is next, followed by T-Rex, Mastodon and Pterodactyl. If all goes well will we see Dragonzord too?

[@PumperKrickel]

@@shadowednight1600 In terms of building you're probably right, but I'd upload T-Rex last, since it's probably the one people are most waiting for.

[@darkstorm8552]

Same man I am new to this channel and I am already hooked. I can't wait to see the full project. Ever since I watched his first video, I have just been thinking that how amazing it would be if he made the thousand sunny.

[@sonicroze]

The ladders are obviously there so Alpha and the maintenance crew don't have to jump several stories to do their job and possibly break their necks.

[@justinpritt7897]

Lucky for alpha because he can get repaired. But unlucky for the maintenance crew who can't.

[@jaysuscrass9119]

Disclaimer while this Zord not obligated to follow Osha regulations as a building sized tank and therefore not legally a building; we Power Rangers do take Osha suggestions

[@Weapon_X_Wolverine]

You cannot imagine how excited I am to see the whole Zord finished up. I am really excited to see how you handle the T-Rex. That one is going to be tricky!

[@coreypacillo8204]

My daughter has been into My Little Pony lately, and I love watching people make dioramas and sculptures. Naturally, KZbin recommended your videos. Simply amazing! Fantastic work!

Happy to have contributed my junk to your craft stash! Looking forward to the day when I can re-enact the meme of pointing Leo DiCaprio when I spot my contribution in one of your builds. Also, very happy to know you are part of the "Billy is the Best Ranger" club.

[@86fifty]

6:12 - YESSS, i literally took apart a cheap sewing machine that failed me b/c it didn't have a tightening screw for the drop-in bobbin case, and therefore, it didn't actually work right. But there are soooo many fun plastic bits! I legit thought of this channel as i took it apart, so i literally CAN send you the plastic bits! and they're definitely clean, so, double-win! awesome :D

[@joshoftheforest]

It goes without saying that the build is incredible, but the editing of these videos just keeps getting better! I'm loving the throwbacks to the previous videos!

Good thinkin, I'm gonna grab my pitchfork and go investigate

[@TinyUrchin]

3:33 You've mentioned before that you have some concerns around using just pieces of things. Not only are you providing solid entertainment, you are also encouraging so many people to view trash and unused items for new creative applications. 100% win/win

This video single-handedly reawakened my childhood obsession with Power Rangers. I hadn't watched it in so long. I can't wait for the other Zords to be made in your unique style.

[@Guassprimeizcool]

BRO THIS LOOKS AWESOME THE FACT THIS WAS MADE OF PURE JUNK IS CRAZY

[@donaldxavier2056]

I like the method you chose for the tank treads. That's clever. Also, the entire build is mind blowing. That fact that you made it capable of converting from dino to foot had me cheering.

[@359339]

So good. Love how complicated the underside is. Less tank security, more iconic boot decoration.

[@kcjdelanoit]

I'm so happy I stumbled across this niche, like I'm a fabricator and this was jaw droppingly impressive especially with the resourcefulness of materials and attention to detail. Subbed

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

I've missed your builds lately and was stoked to see your upload, and not only that, we're going down memory lane with a trip to the 90s!! I understand your hiatus now. That Zord will need plenty of materials. RIP counter cleaner spray bottle, you had a good run but now you'll get to spend eternity as a glorious Studson project!!
