no like … taking the little bit of characterization these shows gave and crafting a whole world that can be experienced audibly (and you can visualize) is a superpower fasho

excited to see the journey!

The Sentai footage is the same, but I remember the DX DaiBouken being a far better toy than the DriveMax Megazord toy. Around this time Bandai of America started cost-cutting and they made the toys worse.

DriveMax Megazord
Power Rangers Operation Overdrive

-no lie, these Megas… I remember the least of all
-this Mega is made from utility vehicles; it can add more UVs to create the Super DriveMax
-bodied by Flurious
-this shit is unimpressive; maybe it was cooler in Boukenger

Honestly I'm apparently one of the few people who actually likes the Boukenger/Overdrive Ranger suits, but the Megazords?

These designs should be cool, but they're just hideous. Michael here has a "finally a good design" reaction to the BattleFleet Megazord later in this thread, but that one is

In fairness that was literally its Japanese name. That being said keeping the JP name was a sign that Saban was basically going through the motions for the Goseiger footage to get to what they really wanted, the Legend War.

Gosei Great Megazord
Power Rangers Megaforce

-ykno how conceited you gotta be to name the Mega after yourself AND add “Great” to it LMFAO
-standard Zord design
-cockpit goes crazy tho. might be the best cockpit in the series
-auxiliary Zords that let it become Sea, Land, Sky, and Ultra Mega
