It's amazing how much more ambitious the Zyu3 concept was compared to the final product. Season 2 honestly feels like the cheapest MMPR season given how many hiccups they had to smooth over (Thunder Megazord vs. Zyu2 monsters never actually being filmed, soundalike voices for 3 missing rangers, the conspicuous number of times the White Ranger is diverted for a filler fight during a zord battle).

[@GladDestronger]

actually now that you mention it este the remodeled dinozords/tigerzord would be perfect for an alternate universe comic book storyline. a timeline where the dinozords were upgraded into new dinozords. its a universe where the thunderzords were never made.

They should've adapted Dairanger. The transition would've been better. Especially because it wouldn't feel like Rocky is replacing Jason. And the same for the new cast coming in.

Right on, the new suits coming at the same time as the cast change would've made everything better. It would've made the whole trip to the "deserted planet" for the Sword of Power worth it.

[@goodbadntheazn1008]

The reason they didn’t was that Americanization was really big during those times and Dairanger was too ethnic with all of the Chinese themes, mythology and kung fu so instead they took elements from Dairanger instead of outright adapting it

[@Strider1357]

@@goodbadntheazn1008 Actually the reason why it happened is because Saban still believed at that time that American audience is too familiar with original MMPR costume designs and not ready for that radical change in their look. You can find more info about it in the Power Rangers episode of "The Toys That Made Us" (Netflix).

We've kinda gotten the zord builder-like integration thanks to the Comics (the Gravezord x Dino Megazord Combo I feel like was the firmest nod to the Zyu3 concepts, honestly.

[@shanthegamer21]

Paramount and eOne are working on another Power Rangers reboot.

[@GeonusKaikun]

Well, since the first Power Rangers movie (1995) was similar to the show but still set in a different universe (though not as drastically different from the 2017 reboot), one can conceivably pretend that the Zords from Zyu3 were that universe's versions of the Dinozords before the movie took place. Head-canon can be a fun thing.

[@jesterking4940]

I’m more or less cool with how things played out mostly with what we’ve gotten over the years. With that said, if they had ever considered bringing back the original power for a spin off per say. I think they could bring in those designs and find excuse to bring back the lot of the mmpr 1, 2 and 3 zords. Just a matter of how they play then in.

[@nimblenavigator9520]

It's clear that they were like "okay, we need the lightning bolt on the new Megazord idea so our toys are accurate to the show" since they had a habit of replacing random stickers with lightning bolts. They would then have logically called it the Thunder Megazord. When Saban decided to just use the pre-existing mecha footage from Dairanger to save money, the designs were scrapped but evidently they kept the concept. It makes far too much sense for the Zords to be transformed into upgraded forms of the same animals than the Zyu mecha becoming the Dai Mecha. I will say, the idea of the Megazord using parts of their config to mirror Ranger weapons like the bow, was a good one. I think the window of time was too small to introduce a whole new set, since thry already knew by the time of the Zyu3 designs that a movie was being planned.

[@DAChosen1]

I agree with you, those updated looks of the dinozords and Tigerzord would’ve looked better in the MMPR ‘95 movie than what they went with so I’m okay with them not going through with the Zyu 3 footage. As for seasons 2 and 3; I think along with the changing of the zords, should’ve came the changing of the uniforms. Since season 2 used the Dairanger mechs, they should’ve used the uniforms too because White Dairanger with the core 5 Zyurangers didn’t look right to me. And season 3 using the Kakuranger mechs, should’ve used the uniforms as well because going from their ninja power suits to the Kakuranger uniforms would’ve looked better to me and it made more sense being Ninja themed. Those are my only gripes about MMPR seasons 2 and 3, so they rank below season 1 for me. Other than that, I still love the Mighty Morphin season as a whole.

[@johnnymason3265]

You're right for the most part! Using the Kakuranger suits would have required them to recolor the white one pink and add a new white suit (for a male ranger)!

[@jostinzelaya2868]

I already know their existence and I pretty mad that the design of the megabits never been on tv bummer😓

[@billymccrary2246]

Like those zords would've been used in the 2017 Power Rangers reboot movie, that's would be insane, right?

[@harveyplissken4604]

I think the Zyu 3 designs would work extremely well for a hypothetical Power Rangers animated series.

[@oscartorres96]

I would Imagine the Dragonzord how it will looks like in Zyu3 Design.

[@EmeralBookwise]

Kinda strange that Zyu3 would have still add the TigerZord, albeit redesigned, instead of just upgrading the DragonZord. Regardless, I'd really love to see these alternate zords resurface as modern collector figures.

[@nimblenavigator9520]

I suppose it must have already been decided separately to incorporate White Ranger, before they decided upon just using the Dai mecha outright

[@ch2010ize]

Saban was likely aware of the Kakuranger mech and was planning on incorporating Kiba Ranger so that Tommy could pilot the white Falconzord . I don't think Zyu2/Zyu3 was meant to be indefinite just meant to take the place of Dairanger before Saban decided just giving the Zyurangers the Dairanger mecha was cheaper

[@michaelleary9233]

Exactly, if they weren't going to change the suits along with everything else, they might as well have used these new Dinozords, since they would've still matched the suits. They could've made a Dragonzord as well.

[@chaoslacky1585]

I never got why they didn't use the Dairanger costumes for the Dark Rangers instead of the terrible costumes they used for them. Could have even justified their appearance in that Zedd was trying to mimic the White Ranger's powers. Maybe they didn't have time to refit them to their actors?

[@exeacua]

TThe Type-D Megazord looks amazing.

[@matthewrosenthal753]

We actually got a combo of zords from different Sentai. Titanus was brought back in MMPR Season 3 and combined with the Ninja Zords.

[@BalorShield]

the funny part of that Ninja Zord Titanus combo was it still included the chest piece of DragonZord

[@Sandrock313]

Yeah, but that was really just using the toys to form the Ultrazord and really didn't work.

@@Sandrock313 yeah I remember lmao when I saw the footage of the toys on the show kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2bOlnqdpJmhmNU kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKqzc5aaj86qZ7c Tommy's white shogun zord (TV footage) was the Pink shogunzord (toyline) in that last clip

[@matthewrosenthal753]

Titanus, Ninja Zords, and the Shogun Zords are from different sources. So they had no footage to use, and using the toys was cheap.

[@EmeralBookwise]

Saying any zord "combines" with Titanus is kinda of a stretch. Even with the DinoZords, the MegaZord more so rode Titanus.

[@xero1048]

Those zords look so good, pretty sad we didn’t get to see these in the show. It would’ve been nice to see unique zyu-ranger like zords for the show, rather than the other zords we ended up getting. I mean, I like the ninja powers and zords, but they didn’t fit the feel of the Dino-themed ranger suits.

[@cellytron]

I have no idea. I want to say kid me in 1994 would have liked or even preferred the upgraded dinozords, but at the same time I did and do really, REALLY love the thunderzords. They felt like a logical continuation, especially Kim’s, and my dinosaur phase was pretty much over by then anyway. As an adult now, yeah… give me Dairanger all the way. Even give us the suits, I like them much better than zyuranger. Although I do think that white ranger figure you showed with the diamonds is absolutely genius!

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

Did you know that the legacy collection gave us a hint at what that combination might look like? So, there were remnants of zyu three combinations in the Legacy toy line. That was a pretty cool Easter egg in my opinion.

[@JeremyWS]

They should put those zords in the comics. It would be a good way to bring them into the Power Rangers lore. I like the idea of making them part of the comics line up of zords.

I loved the zords they had but I think they should have changed or even done it like they done with future seasons where they used one Zoe’s as there main but when they either they got a real sting bad guy or multiple bad guys to fight then they could of had both Zord versions out but yes it would have been sick to seen the new version or zords and it would have been maybe nice to up date the suits also maybe into the version that was with the white ranger when they got there thunder zords in the senti season 2 that been cool

As for being featured, I love all the ideas mentioned. If I can give an additional one, I heard of a scene of Tommy's desk featuring an image of the Dairanger badge. I think it would be neat to have this image somewhere as an Easter egg in the show.

The THunder Zords aer my favourites from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, so I'm not sure I could replace them.
