Each of the five Power Rangers have an extremely powerful weapon at their disposal, but the Black Ranger’s Power Axe might just be the most powerful of the bunch. The crew over at Man at Arms has decided to make the weapon a reality, and the results are rather amazing.

The crew decided to make a realistically proportioned Power Axe, and this time it would be made of heavy duty steel and materials as opposed to the chintzy plastic of the original. That means the thing was always going to be rather heavy, but if you remember the Power Axe also doubles as a heavy duty blaster rifle, so extra tubing was required to give this version the same look.
It took a lot of grinding, cutting, and welding, but the crew managed to produce something spectacular. You can take a look at the whole process in the video above, and you can catch the Power Rangers reboot on DVD and Blu-ray soon.
The action-packed, coming of age feature film Saban’s Power Rangers will morph onto Digital HD June 13 and on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital HD), Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD and On Demand June 27 from Lionsgate. As part of the 24-year-old global phenomenon and based on the five Rangers from the original TV series, “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,”, the reimagined movie features a modern generation of Rangers including Dacre Montgomery (TV’s “Stranger Things”) as Jason the Red Ranger, Naomi Scott (The 33) as Kimberly the Pink Ranger, RJ Cyler (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) as Billy the Blue Ranger, Ludi Lin (Monster Hunt) as Zack the Black Ranger, and Becky G. (Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising) as Trini the Yellow Ranger, as they attempt to stop the evil and unpredictable Rita Repulsa (played by Elizabeth Banks, The Hunger Games Franchise) from destroying their city…and ultimately the world. Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”) as Zordon, and Bill Hader (Finding Dory) as Alpha 5 train the Rangers to morph and master their powers as a united team.
