PokéRanger/ #PokéZord backlog series
Part 8: Mighty Morphin (DragonZord) #Pokemon #PowerRangers #Mecha
The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers DragonZord altered to look like the Pokemon Tyranitar. Combining with previously revealed PokeZords, the DragonZord Fighter Mode is formed. Where the Tyrantrum and Skarmory Zords once stood, now Tyranitar makes up the chest and head while Aggron and Raikou maintain their position as the legs and Mamoswine the arms. Joining with all five Dino PokeZords, the MegaDragonZord formation is realized. Mamoswine, Skarmory, Aggron, Raikou and Tyrantrum form their usual Megazord but now the Tyranitar Lord opens up and rests atop the entire MegaZord like an armored cloak.

One year, there will be a respectable amount of turkey made… but this is not that year.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!

⚠️ Formation Complete ⚠️
Voyager Titan Lunaris joining the battle!
#Mecha #Art
The previously designed Lunar Catapult tank, which was inspired partly by the Pokémon Mega Salamence, transforms into its Titan Formation, Lunaris. While shorter than Titan Formation Orion, this mech sports a massive backpack that houses two canons as tall as its body. These weapons can flip upright and become a pair of under arm cannons. The claw-like stabilizers have flipped back to reveal fists and the forward tank treads are now tall vertical shoulders. By removing its massive twin cannons, Lunaris becomes a far more mobile, entering ‘brawler mode’. The claw-like stabilizers cover the fists like boxing gloves and the vertical shoulder treads now fall horizontal for improved balance.

#pokemon #powerrangers #mecha
A heavily armored blue land tank with two mounted cannons. Thick front tire treads, armored claw-like dyabilizers and the long cockpit seem reminiscent of the Pokémon Mega Salamence - especially when the cannons are showed in the side position.

Even if I don’t do them all the time, would it be alright to be added as well? Currently in the process of doing weekly combiner mechs parts

PokéRanger/ #PokéZord backlog series
- Part 3: WildZords (Predazords - corrupted/ purified)
#Pokemon #PowerRangers #Mecha
The individual components of the Power Rangers WildForce Predazords (corrupted) altered to look like Pokemon. The Alligator, Wolf & Hammerhead Zords now resemble Feraligatr, Lycanroc (Midnight) and Garchomp respectively. Alt: The aforementioned components have now been combined into the corresponding Megazord. Feraligatr makes up the Legs, chest and head, Garchomp the Right Arm and Lycanroc (Midnight) the Left Arm. The Feraligatr jaw remains open at the front, giving the Megazord a very primal look. The purified wolf Zord, which was once designed to look like Lycanroc (Midnight), now resembles its Midday form. The Megazord has now been adjusted to account for the purified wolf Zord. All zords remain in the prior positions but the Feraligatr jaw is now closed, removing this Megazord primal look and making it appear almost knightly as its head has similarly been altered

Not sure if the OC types your looking for but:
Macho & Vintavius (aka Vinnie)

-Macho has a big personality & speaks in the 3rd person! He’s a softie though. The ultimate cheerleader, loves to cook, and is actually ace!

-Vinnie’s a tech genius & little ball of sass; but easily bribed with pancakes!
