[@jjgillmen]

I remember actually HAVING the Thunder Megazord set but not the other ones. Honestly, I loved the Thunder Ultrazord's finisher; to this day, its ability to crush its enemies still one of the most unique and unconventional finishers in the history of the PR franchise.

[@MonsterVisionNB]

Oh man, do I love coming back and watching these videos from time to time. So nostalgic. When I was a kid, I had a really weird collection of the Thunderzords - I had the Deluxe Tor (the only version as far as I knew then), I had an incomplete Deluxe Tigerzord that I'd traded from a friend, and I had this weird 'cheat' Mega Tigerzord where the Lion Thunderzord was pre-sculpted onto Tigerzord (which was stuck in MT mode), the Firebird was dummy'd up into its gauntlet mode, and the Unicorn and Griffin could still separate and operate on their own. Craziest part about it is that Tor was either my first or second favorite Zord ever made (second only to/closely followed by the Dragonzord) - and yet it was a part of what was probably my very least favorite season of Zords outside of Turbo (and easily the WORST Ultrazord formation of all time). Just never liked the Thunderzords much - especially the toys. Wasn't thrilled with either Megazord of the season and, in fact, I thought Mega Tigerzord was ugly as sin LOL. I did, however, LOVE Tor. I don't know what it was about him, but I thought he was awesome. I definitely thought he was grievously wasted on his own season. So much wasted potential with a Zord as tactical and powerful as Tor was.

[@patchrockit]

Wow. I had all of these too. The sounds the white tiger zord makes sure brought me back to being a 9 year old again.

[@CalamitasDeus]

35:10 - Yeah, since Beetleborgs was discontinued after they got control over all the weapons and everything in the second season (not like the villains could do much anymore), the costumes were recycled for that one episode. It was more than the villains of Beetleborgs, though, because they used the green outfit for one of the heroes as one of the villains in Forever Red.

[@MattZRJSRoxy]

+CalamitasDeus actually Beetleborgs suits were recycled a lot more often than that Forever Red was just the only major instance of it being so obvious due to them using Shadow Borg as Venjix, the Green Hunter Beetleborg as Gerrok, Dragonborg (minus the antennae-like things) as Steelon, Ladyborg as Tezzla and of course the last one was mostly Lightningborg but without his head since he had Fireborg's head. Beetleborgs suits were seen in scenes such as Countdown to Destruction and also during Onyx scenes... additionally 1 was reused for a Mut-Org piece and they ended up using another suit for a monster in S.P.D.

[@KyleMcA1]

I freakin love the thunder zords XD i was in hospital for that entire series when i was a little kid, kept me sane and happy XD best year of my life XD

[@hellsangelsokker]

Nice vid. You explained everything very well to great detail! It really brought back some nice memories from my childhood. I had all of these toys except for serpentera which I do not remember. Grtz from Belgium!

[@Neakal]

Wow, so much nostalgia. I had all the S2 Zords, though finding Serpentera was a bitch. I must have dragged my parents through dozens of toy shops (they're awesome for putting up with me). Ended up becoming my favourite one despite the toy not doing much. If I recall right, first time it appeared, it was actually pretty badass. Gave Tor a good beating, then destroyed a whole city and/or planet on its own. Only after that it was demoted to just flying about menacingly.

[@MattZRJSRoxy]

+Neakal it was the Deserted Planet that it had destroyed, the Rangers went there to get the Sword of Light for the purpose of transferring powers from Zack, Trini and Jason to Adam, Aisha and Rocky.

[@KazeWolfen]

The Red Dragonzord was by far one of the best megazords in terms of articulation. The arms and legs I absolutely love the joint system and how its set up. If I can find it and the Thunderzord Assault Team, I will so buy it. And I thought the 'But this, this this...' was quite funny. Great work on the review.

[@smallbearrich7592]

Season 2 and the thunder megazord are wonderful and wonderful combinations as always

I give you maximum props, sir, for managing to find these guys.

[@Omne118]

And now that I think about it after watching the video, I'm quite certain that the feet of the Firebird did indeed come with the White Tiger. I do recall having those feet even though we never had the Assault Team and we never figured out what exactly they were for. Now I know.

[@davidrich7779]

Mighty morphin power rangers season 2 and the thunder zords were just absolutely outstanding

[@meliodasofwrath7310]

I remember when I was little I was so addicted to these videos

[@ArashiTatsugami]

Oh, my god, THANK YOU!!! For saying the name "BeetleBorgs"! I have been thinking about that show for literally a decade and I never relearned it's name until I watched this video!! I came here for a review and I got it and more!! Thank you again!

[@Tdopro526]

Power rangers really should have tried to use the backstory from Dairangers to actually make sense of tor and Serpentera. Serpentera aka Daijinnryuu (great dragon god) was an enormous neutral god that appeared when the balance between good and evil was out of control. Tor aka Daimugen was actually a Kiden beast from 6000 years ago that helped the ancient dairangers against Daijinnryuu and hid in a human form until present day.

[@MattZRJSRoxy]

+Andy Perry I agree with some of that but they probably didn't want to use all of that. I personally would've kept the part with Serpentera being a neutral God though.

[@kobiimac5131]

Honestly I think they should have used the from the Japanese series fir season 2

[@ratedrkohbk]

I remember having the Thunderzord Assault team when I was a kid. My mom wouldn't buy me the red dragon zord for some reason so I could never complete the transformation. :(

[@Celerott]

This might be just me, but I think it would've been nice see Serpentara combine with the other the other ThunderZords letting Zedd taking control of them... it would've been a nice touch if you ask me.

[@NakdChimichangaGaming]

I don't know that the other zords would have fit on serpentera in any way that didn't involve just attaching to the side. Lest we forget that Tor itself was just barely smaller than one of serpentera's feet and that sumbitch housed the tigerzord.

[@dragon1130]

If I remember correctly, the Machine Empire Generals didn't look like Beetle Borg enemies, they looked like the Beetle Borgs themselves. I think it's because they had the costumes lying around set and thought "Sure, they'll work". Either way, I am truly jealous of you. You have all these awesome toys that I wanted as a child, and still want. Also, your reviews are awesome.

The Tor the Shuttlezord sounds like Anguirus from the Godzilla Series.

The mmpr season 2 thunder megazord and the white tiger zord and tor the shuttlezord were just so very incredible

[@hunterkiller1440]

Fun fact: Red Dragon Thunderzord warrior mode was modeled after a mythological deity called Sun Wukong. Thunder Megazord is modeled after ancient Ming Dynasty Warrior. Mega Tigerzord is modeled after ancient Qing Dynasty Emperor. I really hope they re-release a legacy Red Dragon Thunderzord. Here's a custom spray painted version which looks so cool: 40.media.tumblr.com/62afc6130bfb46d2ae10184b2357c15e/tumblr_n4saeaY3PD1rtvl67o3_500.jpg

I love your old videos they have that original KZbin feel. I have watched these MMPR zord videos a few times over. My question is any plans on reshooting these videos? i think it would be neat 2009 was a while ago

[@JTMitchell87]

I've thought about it off and on, but I'm not sure if it'd ever happen. There are aspects I left out during some of these (Titanus' sleds for instance) and as you said these do have that "original" KZbin feel, but who knows!

[@Naztalgic]

***** well it's just like any remake or reboot LOL the original is still there and will be there. And the new one brings new audience and let's the existing fans take a fresh look. I just love the original toys and it's always a treat watching these reviews made by true fans such as yourself

thanks for posting! I used to have all of them except the last one and it was great to see them again

[@Cloudrunner62]

First off. Me and you would get along famously with your sense of humor and mine being so similar. To clarify a few things; yes the fire bird's feet came with the tigerzord and also the tigerzord in warrior mode fit inside Tor wonderfully. That aside, I loved the review. I have pictures of me as a 7yro on Christmas morning with a powerrangers sleeping bag in powerrangers pjs and the whole Thunder Megazord, fully decked out in stickers by my mother the night before. I later got the Tigerzord for my 8th bday on 2/7 and bought Tor for 40$ after saving my allowance for 2 months, which as I'm sure you remember, was hard to do with toys and everything everywhere. They remain the only full set of zords I own. I idolized Tommy as a kid. (Finally met the actor at an anime con in 09, on my bday no less!). Lots of fond memories with those toys. Still have em all in the garage.

[@raidenthenctzenwithinsomni4961]

Tor's roar is Anguirus, one of many Godzilla's allies, roar.

Team him up with the green dragon zord and the firebird and you basicly get godzilla team.

[@BOutdoorsman]

Sometimes I imagine what it would be like if they released a scale-replica of a Legacy Serpentera. You know that episode where Tor was literally in the paw of Serpentera as he was crushing him? We're talking a 10 ft tall toy here haha.

[@MattZRJSRoxy]

+Brett Wilson that we are and it'd be pretty expensive as well probably at least $1,000 if not more.

[@TazarZero]

I envy you for having these toys in such great shape! I have all of these, and mine have been destroyed, to a degree, by a little kid (me) who wanted them to look like the zords on the show as much as possible, and by a little ankle-bitter dog that HAD to chew up everything it could get its mouth on. So yeah, now mine are worth nothing. Just chewed up memories of childhood. :-/

[@anthonyxiong1694]

The blue megazord is actually a pegasus n the yellow megazord is actually a kirin... if u dont know what a kirin is, is basically a chinese mythological creature that is half dragon and half horse

Is it me, but if you play Tor's sound, listen to it, and listen to the roar of Anguiras from Godzilla...

[@NicklasZandeVGCP2001]

Serpentara's counterpart in Dairanger was DaiJinRyu. And it hated war, so it caused even more chaos in the process. Hippies tend to frown upon that. Anyone who hates war tends to frown upon that, especially Tor's Sentai Counterpart, who was actually a hippie.

[@mcriddla2911]

I remember on the show the Megazord only being the height of Serpentaras Foot! Serpentara was HUGE! I had the Serpentara toy as a kid just because Ithought it was so badass looking. The chrome chest and Chromed Gold. And it just looked sick for the time.

[@LeoSpecter95]

Hey if you like zordon, then you should check out megaforce. Apparently zordon had a pupil and is the mentor for that team.

[@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness]

+JTMitchell87 Yeah, in my opinion, megaforce was the worst season of all time. The only thing making Super Megaforce slightly better is that it was an anniversary season. Megaforce essentially tried to copy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, with Gosei, a head of a mentor who claimed to be a student of Zordon, a robotic-aid who's goofy, accident-prone, and uses out-of-date slang, a calm and cool red ranger who knows karate, a people's-person black ranger, a smart and nerdy blue ranger, a cool and pretty but smart yellow ranger, and a fun-loving, pretty, pink ranger. Plus, their hangout was ERNIE'S FROYO!

I believe the "Firebird's" feet came with the Dragonzord set.

[@zerovalon6243]

when the turtles head fell I lost it. lol that was hilarious 😂😂😂

[@MadnessHEROReverend]

Lol The sound effect for Tor is actually The Cry of Anguirus from the Godzilla movies. Anyway for the transformation of the Thunder Megazord, I usually rotate the the shoulder pads of the red dragon forward so that the tops are facing me instead of the stickers. It is A subtle change but it gives him a bit more extra movement with the arms and shoulders of the Thunder Megazord

[@EmperorKrow]

you take me back to my childhood. Never was able to get the Zords, but luckily had friends with most of em. Lol. I had forgotten Tor even existed until watching this video. Always wanted the Serpetera Zord, but only cuz it was such a huge bastard of a toy. But it didnt do much, even in the show it kept breaking down, lol. Nice review.

[@GodOfAllDaleks]

Don't know if anybody has pointed it out or not, but the first sound for Tor is actually the roar of a kaiju named Anguirus from several of the Showa era Godzilla films(1954-1975)

[@Citruscirca93]

To be fair, the toys were used for the Thunderzord transformation sequence and the US-exclusive Ultrazords in MMPR.

[@Cyclopsblast]

I had the original Thunder Zords. I remember getting upset as a kid because I was given the 4 zord set and Dragon Thunder zord separately on a birthday. The 4 zords were given first. And I was upset that I didn't get the Dragon Thunder Zord. But then was given the Dragon Thunder zord after. I never got any other Zords, but I was happy with what I got.

[@chris_1988]

The "crown" of the White Tiger Zord can move up to reveal the actual eyes?!?! I never knew that even though I've had this toy for like 15 years now :D I always thought the silver part was the actual face and wondered why it looked like the eyes of an insect.

Intresting thing, originally, it was planned for Serpentara to be destroyed by an army of Zords and Megazord and Forever Red was to be a lot longer but they were forced to put it into a half hour...
