Ranking The Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Zords
The Power Rangers are no slouches in battle, but when you have to take down a massive pig named [...]
Blue Ranger: Triceratops
Of all of the Dinozords, the Triceratops ages the worst. What once looked like a sleek homage to the horned beast now appears more like a lost swim shoe. Granted, most swim shoes don't come with twin guns on the back, but Nike will get around to it sooner or later.
The color scheme still works, though so at least it still has that in its favor. Sadly, it doesn't have much else, but the new Tricertops Zord contains much greater detail.
Pink Ranger: Pterodactyl
Kimberly's Zord of choice would get much better later on, but the initial version was rather boring. At first glance, you'd think it was another Red Ranger Zord, as the chest plate is completely red and silver.
It always looked like someone forgot to put the rest of the Zord together before it launched as well, something the new version seeks to fix. Still, the fact that it's the only Zord that can take to the air gives it a point in the win category.
Red Ranger: Tyrannosaurus
The Red Ranger might be the leader of Zordon's group of heroes, and his Zord is even based on the perceived king of the dinosaurs. As a design, though, the Zord hasn't aged as well as others in the group.
The T-Rex head and cockpit are fantastic, but the other details are just kind of lacking. Plus that whole short arms thing really hurts it in combat, and the tail doesn't have a cool drill in it like the Dragonzord.
Black Ranger: Mastodon
You'd think the Mastodon would lose points for having a big "M" emblazoned on the side. You'd be wrong, though because giant letters are cool! (crickets).
Okay, so that's a bit of an eyesore, but everything else on this design is just fantastic, including the industrial stylings and the tusks. It could even freeze enemies with its trunk, and also could be used as a shield by the Megazord.
Yellow Ranger: Sabertooth Tiger
Of all the Dinozords, the Sabertooth Tiger looked the coolest in combat, and the design still holds up for the most part.
The tusks, armor details, and the wheel joint legs just made this thing look amazing in motion, at least at the time. If it needed range, it could rely on its laser shooting tail and was the best at avoiding the enemy's punches with its advanced agility.
Unfortunately, it would lose its spot to another in the tiger family.
White Ranger: Tigerzord
The White Ranger would inherit one of the most powerful Zords ever created, the White Tigerzord. The Zord's remote control was even slick, which happened to be the mystical dagger Saba.
Despite the thing looking a bit ridiculous when it ran, the design was pretty slick, and it still looks fantastic all these years later. The Tigerzord had the ability to interact with later Thunderzords, and also packed a sonic blast ability to fire from range. It then could transform into warrior mode, which allowed it to use a sword and fire thunderbolts.
In fact, this would have been number one if not for one hurdle standing in its way.
Green Ranger: Dragonzord
The only Zord able to take down the Tigerzord was Tommy's old Zord, the Dragonzord.
There's really nothing not fantastic about the Dragonzord. It literally rose from the sea at the Green Ranger's beck and call (via the Dragon Dagger), had a drill-like tail it could use in combat and could combine with all of the other Dinozords to form a battle version of the DragonZord.
He used his tail as a staff and could hit foes with an energy attack from his fin. If that didn't work, he was able to forge with the Megazord, creating the Mega Dragonzord. The thing literally had three forms, and looked like a dragon, so needless to say it easily takes the number one spot!
