The Full Story of the THUNDER ZORDS & MEGAZORD | Power Rangers Explained

[@Rmurray625]

It always bothered me when for the first few episodes they called it the Mega Thunderzord. It just never sounded right. So glad they finally changed the name to Thunder Megazord

[@Xolanidj]

I definitely noticed that too.

[@zeokin2522]

I was watching another KZbin channel called The Disney Brain and he talked about Power Rangers storylines. I asked him in a comment why doesn't he talk about the Megazords, weapons, or the battles the rangers have had that we as kids loved growing up. He told me there isn't much to talk about when it comes to those topics. Then I found this channel and never went back. Keep it up

[@dragline7287]

When the thunder megazord dropped i was stoked. I hope it gets a solid figure soon.

[@Hacknerds]

It's getting a SMP set soon, but that's small and you have to build it yourself. I enjoy the building process and how poseable they are, but I know they aren't for everyone. (They're also pretty expensive). Maybe we'll see a ZAP version eventually.

[@Razorgeist]

Im glad to hear Im not the only one who thinks the Thunder Megazord is one of the best Megazords...its my personal favorite.

[@michaelfritz5816]

If they used the Dragonzord, with the thunderzord, in live action, they would have to do a major rehaul. Zordon, even said, the Dragonzord, wasn't compatible.

[@dillonhume4522]

Did he say that

[@LongHairedBandit]

Props to whoever made the Red Dragon Thunderzord in Soulcalibur VI!

[@jonathonearl482]

The Red Dragon Thunderzord is still my most favorite zord! It's such a shame it got destroyed in the series.

[@gamalirza]

Destroyed by Rito

[@manoftheusajones5147]

It was also the 1st Megazord to appoear in Original Footage!

[@SWESB5]

Really

[@rossy9095]

@@SWESB5 yup. The original or dragonzord didn’t appear in any original footage. It did for one episode in season 2 and a friend in need part 3 and ninja quest… part 1 obviously 😅

[@cardsfanbj]

One thing I wish they'd done more in the show would be the individual zords working together before joining to form the Megazord, like you saw with the ninja Zords in MMPR The Movie, each of the Zords were able to be used independently, but once the threat grew great enough, they all came together for a power boost. But instead, they just hop in the zords and immediately declare they need to come together and form the Megazord. There was one episode I remember from season 1 where they did it with the dino zords, and they did sometimes do this with Turbo's Rescue Zords that could morph into their own battle mode. Maybe this is something that's been done in later seasons, I've only seen MMPR through In Space, plus Dino Thunder. Maybe I'm asking too much for an American series based on stock footage of a preexisting Japanese show.

[@willlauzon3744]

I agree.

[@jonathonearl482]

I agree! had they done this they could have had a better chance at taking down Rito Revolto, I believe.

[@KentPetersonmoney]

​​@@jonathonearl482 think the tiger megazord might have been able to handle Rito. By the way I also used to also wonder why they always went straight to mega zord and hardly ever fought the monsters individually for awhile. Sometimes they would do this with the orginal zords and the ninja zords. By the way ninja zords were never destroyed.

[@Hollowmello1285]

​@@jonathonearl482they did that in the comics

[@justbuggin67]

A heartfelt thank you for showcasing the Thunderzords. They were my all-time favorites hands down. I also want to see the Thunder Dragonzord. It looks epic.

[@dillonhume4522]

When then got there ninja powers from ninjor could there have been a Green ninja power zord

[@GreenHornet67]

Awesome video 😎👍 The Thunder Megazord is favorite

[@srwilson3s2k14]

in japan it was never destroyed thankfully :D the dai rangers grand kids are piloting it at the end!

[@etherealdreamerart]

Dairanger is so good. 😁

[@cameronbarnes1954]

First time I saw these get destroyed during season 3 when I was 5 I nearly cried. My favorite megazord in mmpr.

[@etherealdreamerart]

The thunder megazord is amazing. The aesthetic of it is just 🥰 The red dragon zord is adorable. Always wanted to ride on him and go wheee. 😋

[@phillipwalters7702]

Hey there Sixth Ranger just wanted to say thank you for this video dealing with the Thunder Megazord and the Thunderbirds that create it. I have to admit that the Thunderzords and Thunder Megazord was absolutely incredible and really interesting, just because it actually had the Red Dragon Thunderzord and it Warrior Mode. Anyways, thanks again for this wonderful video and can't wait to see more Ranger related videos from soon. Also I hope that you have a wonderful day and please stay safe. Peace out and May the Power Protect you too.

[@MisterInevitable]

This was my first Megazord I owned as a kid and also one of my favorite MegaZords.

[@dominictrujillo3323]

My favorite memory of the Thunder Megazord is the Thunder Megazord transformation sequence in Part 3 of The Mutiny. And my least favorite memory of the Thunder Megazord is their destruction in Part 1 of Ninja Quest.

[@davinh.]

This is my favorite Megazord! I love it even more after watching Dairanger. Super awesome mecha!

[@RyanNerdyGamer]

Woo! A vid about my favourite Saban 1.0 Era Megazord! Time to watch… 😁

[@Michael98180]

Awesome video as always 6th Ranger. Season 2 of MMPR is an interesting topic as Dairanger is a thing. I think it would have been cool, if it was this damage from Pirantishead freeze combined with Zedd power stripping that slowly weakened Dinozords; and damaged Dino Coins, creating a storyline where not only the Green Ranger was at risk of losing his power but the four 4 rangers as well.

[@neoshadowdukeofgames8223]

The dragon thunderzord looked so cool! I love all your research into Power Rangers, especially MMPR. Did you ever play MMPR deck builder game?

[@kamensentai9286]

When I was a kid, the Warrior Wheel was one of my favourite zords

[@pabloares556]

Love your channel man you should compile all episodes into a Blu-ray or dvd.

[@star86703]

This video was awesome well done 6th ranger 👍😊🤩

[@teamsteed1]

Thank you for posting the video about the Thunder zords and Megazord.

[@mikegiragosian4274]

Am I mistaken or wasn’t there also a white tiger thunder megazord similar to the dragonzord in fighting mode?

[@breakingbenjamin555]

Speaking of the Thunder zords, I am curious to hear what your thoughts are on the idea of the Dragonzord being able to be powered up with the power of thunder since tommy was unable to get an upgrade due to his temporary powers.

[@TheChaosBringer698]

Can you do a video on Casey Rhodes (Red jungle Fury) or jack (red spd)

[@tonyzepeda6741]

Can you please do the story behind lightspeed rescue

[@andrewbunch6599]

I still love the first 4 zords in power rangers not counting titanus the dino zord the thunder zord the dragon zord and the white tiger zord they just all remind me of being a child 😊

[@Stephenj_Howard]

You should do a top 10 list on megazords

[@KARLTONTCLAY]

The Thunder megazord is indeed my favorite mega zord and I love the zords! The only thing I wish we could’ve seen was actually seeing the rangers individually in their zords like in the dinozords.

[@JaguarCats]

Quick question, the last time the dinozords fell into the Earth's lava...it actually HEALED them. Why would falling in a second time destroy them?

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

I kind of wonder if it healing them was just exclusive to the Super Sentai version of the show, as not only is it not explained in Power Rangers (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but when it happens the first time the Rangers comment that their zords were totalled. This to me would seem to imply that, at least in the Power Rangers adaptation, it actually did damage the zords. Power Rangers doesn't always follow the same lore as the Sentai series they are based on, and they took a lot of liberties with the series up until the conclusion of In Space in an effort to maintain continuity and use the same cast, rotating out old characters and replacing them while still keeping the original team at least partially intact. It's also for this reason why they didn't give them new costumes in ranger form until Zeo despite Tommy getting a new one when transitioning to his white ranger powers

[@reboot_ranger]

They should reboot the ThunderZord. Make it look more epic in a remastered mmpr series

[@greatghan]

I always wondered what happened to Titanus

[@TheDennybill]

I would have just assumed Billy now the the time and resources to rebuild the OG megazords.

[@xhairstargetmaster6338]

So will you do the white tiger zord by itself?

[@johannesmakila2459]

Designs from Dairanger are top notch and what become Thunderzords are no different. Shame that MMPR didn't use Dairanger suits.

[@DragonFist9323]

A minute of silence for those who have never seen Dairanger

[@jahari1991]

Hands down my absolute favorite

[@JokaChildTv]

The power of thunder great info on this legendary Zord

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video ❤

[@robertkenny1201]

So I'm guessing that the Dinozords that appeared in Grid Connection and the Once and Always special, are actually brand new zords that are simply modeled after there original Zords for old times sake, and lack the originals abilty to become Thunderzords since they didn't during the three times that theh showed up.

[@thatman5484]

Thunderzord should've been brought in after Tommy lost his powers I think. Imagine the Red Dragon Thunderzord being specifically born of the green rangers power being given over to Jason.

[@VictorHernandez-nj2lo]

Please do videos on titanus, tigerzord, shuttlezord, ninjazord, red battlezord, pyramidas, warrior wheel, & Auric the conquerer zord

[@cliffjumper1984]

Hmmm. Thinking about how much I love Jet icarus. This would give it a run for its money. Just the base thunderzord mode. Would actually win?

[@reiddutchess9955]

Thunder is the name for a noise we hear after lightning strikes, so I always thought the name “Thunder Zords” was so stupid, but this megazord is very cool nonetheless. Wish it had a better name though, even lightning zords would have been vastly superior.

[@Anton-b6s]

Fun Fact: in the Sentai the Lion thunderzord was a green ranger Zord but it was black enough to be a black ranger zord

[@animanco6833]

I don’t think seeing the dragon thunderbird in live action is possible, but they should show if Hasbro gain enough brains to make an animated series loosely based on the boom studio comics

[@justbuggin67]

Also in your video, this is the actual first time I have seen them get destroyed. I purposely never watch it because I loved them so much I did not want to see their demise.

[@bman3794]

Loved the thunderzords. Had the toys as a kid and they were great. Never understood why the lion, firebird, unicorn and griffin zords never had any offensive firepower like the dinozords did. Still awesome though

[@RID01S]

This is my favorite Megazord design ever next is Zeo

[@haroldalan7080]

Wait people can actually do Mods in Soulcalibur 5, didn't in that in some games, that the player can create a character from the creation mode after someone finishes Story mode🎮🎮?

[@daveblackman816]

My least favorite zords of the original MMPR set. Maybe it’s because they always had the weird split footage with the zyu2 footage.

[@twilliamspro]

I never liked the thunder zords as a kid because kid me didn't like change And was so fond of the OGs as an adult though it is an upgrade

[@unclebrian8156]

In part 3 of The Mutiny when Zordon tells Alpha, "We must work quickly to preserve what remains of the zords. Recalibrate the morphing grid, & encase the zords with static power. Then move them to their hiding places, and with luck they'll be enough left of the old zords, to create the new zords". made me think the dinozords were coming out of the hiding places before becoming the thunderzords. For example the Mastadon would come out of its cage of ice then become the lion thunderzord & the triceratops would go accross the desert then become the unicorn. Reply

[@andrewshearsby8125]

Honestly from all off mmpr prefer the Shogun Megazord, but Thunder Megazord was still neat

[@keeptheheat276]

What about tor?

[@OrionLordofDragons]

Should have mentioned the sentai information

[@blackrock316]

I have always thought the Thunder zords looked cool but I remember as I was watching the show, for some reason I don't think they were that strong which then they had to create a new ranger which is the white ranger.

[@desslaven7935]

They were, lore wise, supposed to be far superior to the dinozords. Unfortunately Saban worked with extremely limited stock footage, so the Thunderzord battles were amongst the most samey and repetitive zord battles in PR history. In fact, of 52 episodes in season 2, there is a grand total of ONE episode where the zords attempt to fight individually rather than instantly forming one of the megazod formations (Ep19: Two for One)

[@blackrock316]

@@desslaven7935 oh okay, that makes sense now because even as a kid watching the show, am like why are they struggling if they are supposed to be stronger than the previous zords, what u said makes sense.

[@Cloud121D]

Thunderzords were the best Zords ever, followed by the Ninjazord, and the Zeo Zord.

[@Fireash007]

Now do ninja zord from mighty morphin

[@dionneking8]

love it best

[@goni2493]

A part of me wishes the used the Dairanger outfits.

[@bryaneberly3588]

i have no reason not to think Billy rebuilt every zord

[@adamhullak7074]

Delta megazord next please

[@danielflanagan3325]

It always annoyed the crap outta me that they switched the cries for Pegasus and Kirin all the damn time in MMPR

[@jeffreysnydr]

Do the ninjazords and shogunzords

[@DTO3167]

But yet, recently the old dinosaur zords came back and no mention how

[@RunnerX13]

The lion, unicorn, and griffen have to be the worst zord designs. They’re so clearly there only to serve as parts for the MegaZord and have zero character of their own compared to their predecessors.

[@turkfebz9037]

This right here. Just rewatched the first2 seasons and I thought these sucked. The ones you mentioned all look the same

[@PowerRangerfan]

I like the Shogun zords more.

[@saintzeroinfinity]

“Power of thunder” does anyone think Thor supplied the thunder?

[@DTO3167]

Cause the story of the anniversary special was dumb. Zords that was destroyed somehow came back No one asking who is the father of Trini Daughter, I doubt she reproduced by herself

[@thomasbrown8086]

One Theory I have is that when they actually transferred the powers to Adam Rocky and Aisha they actually got weaker which is why they're able to be destroyed

[@jamiekosch2562]

ye you did not mancainh the witetiegor derthermagezord

[@ised-5239]

Rito destroyed the megazord in season 3.

[@robertkenny1201]

Yeap and the Dinozords that appeared in Grid Connection, Once and Always and End are actually brand new zords that are modeled after there original zords for old times sake and lack the originals ability to become Thunderzords.

[@rdoino2210]

Wasn’t a fan of the thunderzords… and mostly because the toys were very flimsy compared to the Dino mega Zord

[@datboi9539]

The Thunderzords were a downgrade compared to the Dinozords IMO.

[@GreenArrow02]

Great video 😃👍 The Thunder Megazord is my favorite
