Power Rangers Remixed
December 26th, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized — Movie CriticMy son told me a few weeks ago that there was not going to be a new season of Power Rangers. Instead, they are remastering the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1. They are going to add all new special effects and of course all new toys! So, I thought I would start sharing what I know about Power Rangers.
Our first Zord was the Thunder Megazord. My son was only 4 at the time, but I thought he would enjoy taking the zords apart and putting them back together again. I was right! The Thunderzords that made up the Thunder Megazord were:
- There was the Red Dragon Zord, piloted by the Red Ranger, which could fight either as a dragon or as a humanoid in warrior mode.
- The Lion Thunderzord, piloted by the Black Ranger, seemed to have no apparent function other than as a component of the Thunder Megazord.
- The Unicorn Thunderzord, piloted by the Blue Ranger, could launch boulders at their opponents.
- The Griffin Megazord, piloted by the Yellow Ranger, could shoot flaming rings or electric bolts at the enemy.
- The Firebird Thunderzord, piloted by the Pink Ranger, in addition to flying could send tornadoes at their enemies.
In addition, to forming the Thunder Megazord, the Lion, Unicorn, Griffin, and Firebird can unite to form the Thunderzord Assault Team, which the Red Dragon Zord rides as an airborne chariot in warrior mode. He has watched every episode of Power Rangers since then, including the movies. We have all the zords, except those from the first year, the Megazord. We have two books full of the Power Ranger collectible trading cards. I think we have everyone in both plain and gold editions.
Now that Bandai has created the new Megazord, we can finally get this one and of course, the Green Ranger’s Dragonzord.
