From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zords of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder were dinosaur-based cyborgs created by Tommy Oliver and Anton Mercer during their collaboration. They were mostly maintained by Tommy's friend Hayley.

[edit] Biozords/Dinozords
Not to be confused with the Zords of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Dinozords are also known as the Biozords.Though created by Anton Mercer and Tommy Oliver with the rest of their dinosaur-related experiments, they were commandeered by Mesogog. He unleashed the Tyrannozord, Pterazord, and Tricerazord upon the Rangers, but they were taken over by the Dino Thunder Rangers. Other Dinozords were unleashed throughout the series. The Tyrannozord, Tricerazord, Pterazord, and the Mezodon Rover were destroyed battling the Zelzord. The fate of the other Zords is unknown. To distinguish them from the original Dinozords, fans have created the term Dino Thunderzords. Whatever the case would happen to be, they are currently inaccessible. The Dinozords are as follows:
[edit] Primary Zords
- Tyrannozord - A red Tyrannosaurus Zord that forms the majority of the Thundersaurus Megazord (head, torso, left arm, legs and the Dino Drill), controlled by Conner the Red Dino Ranger.
- Tricerazord - A blue Triceratops Zord that forms the right arm and Tricera Shield of the Thundersaurus Megazord, controlled by Ethan the Blue Dino Ranger.
- Pterazord - A yellow Pteranodon Zord that forms helmet and chest-plate of the Thundersaurus Megazord, as well at the Pterarang weapon, controlled by Kira the Yellow Dino Ranger.
- Brachiozord - A black Brachiosaurus Carrierzord that carries the Tyranno, Tricera, and Ptera Zords, as well as the Auxiliary Zords, controlled by Tommy the Black Dino Ranger.
- Dragozord - A white Tupuxuara Zord that forms arms, legs, and weapons of the Dino StegaZord, and the wings of the Valkasaurus Magazord, controlled by Trent the White Dino Ranger.
- Styracozord - A crimson-and-gold Styracosaurus Zord that pulls the Mezodon Rover chariot, and forms the Mezodon Megazord, and the majority of the TriceraMax, piloted by the Triassic Ranger.
[edit] Auxiliary Zords
- Cephalazord - A purplish-blue Pachycephalosaurus Zord that forms the Punch weapon arm for the Thundersaurus Megazord and Dino Stegazord. It also combines with the Mezodon Rover to help form the Triceramax Megazord.
- Dimetrozord - An aquamarine Dimetrodon Zord that forms the Saw weapon arm for the Thundersaurus Megazord and Dino Stegazord. It also combines with the Mezodon Rover to help form the Triceramax Megazord.
- Stegozord - A crimson Stegosaurus Zord that becomes a hovercraft for the Thundersaurus and Valkasaurus Megazord. It also forms the body for the Dino Stegazord.
- Parasaurzord - A green Parasaurolophus Zord that forms the Scissor Blade weapon arm for the for the Thundersaurus Megazord and Dino Stegazord. It also combines with the Mezodon Rover to help form the Triceramax Megazord.
- Ankylozord - An orange Ankylosaurus Zord that forms the Shield Drill weapon arm for the Thundersaurus Megazord and Dino Stegazord. It also combines with Mezodon Rover to help form the Triceramax Megazord.
[edit] Blizzard Zords
- Carnotaurzord - An indigo-and-teal Carnotaurus Zord that forms the majority of the Blizzard Megazord (head, chest, legs, right arm, and the Blizzard Drill).
- Chasmozord - A silver-and-violet Chasmosaurus Zord that forms the left arm and the Blizzard Shield of the Blizzard Megazord.
[edit] Thundersaurus Megazord
The primary Megazord of Dino Thunder, the Thundersaurus Megazord and its main mode is created by combining the Tyranno, Ptera, and Tricerazord. However, several combinations exist that incorporate the Cephala, Dimetro, Parasaur, Ankylo, and Stegozords. It can also be formed in an 'incomplete' form with only just the Tyranno and Tricerazords.
The Thundersaurus Megazord had a variety attacks at its disposal. It had a sucker-punch attack that Ethan dubbed the Tricera Fist and another attack where the Megazord uses the Pterazord as a boomerang, which Kira calls the Pterarang. The Megazord could also unleash a fire attack from the Tyrannozord's mouth called the Fire Breath and the Tyrannozord still seems to function by biting (as demonstrated in "Diva in Distress" when it bit Donkeyvac's nose), but the Thundersaurus Megazord's most powerful attack is the Tyranno Drill/Dino Drill where the Tyrannozord's tail (forming the left arm) activates as a giant drill and impales enemies. It is usually used as the finishing blow. The Thundersaurus Megazord also can detach part of the Tyrannozord's tail and the Tricerazord's head to reveal arms and can use the Tricerazord's head as a shield with its left arm and the Tyrannozord and Tricerazord's tails with its right arm as a sword. In this mode it could use the Tyranno Tail attack in which it throws the sword like a spear.
The Thundersaurus Megazord can retract its left arm to allow the Dimetrozord combine with it to form a giant saw blade, or the Parasaurzord to form a giant scissor-arm allowing it to use the Final Cut attack. Other times it can detach the Tricerazord and allow the Cephalazord to combine with it to form a giant fist allowing it to be able to perform another finishing move known as the Cephala Power Punch, or can allow the Ankylozord to combine to form another drill with a shoulder-mounted shield and allowing the Megazord to be able to use one of its strongest finishing blows, the Double Drill employing the uses of both the Tyrannozord and Ankylozord's drills. The Megazord once combined with both the Ankylozord and Parasaurzord to defeat Mad Mackerel using the Cast Out finishing move and revert him back to human form. When the Thundersaurus Megazord combines with the Stegozord, it rides the Stegozord as a surfboard allowing it to use the Surf's Up attack.
The Thundersaurus Megazord was destroyed when Conner self-destructed it in the battle with the Zelzord.
[edit] Dino Stegazord
The Dino Stegazord is the personal Megazord of the White Dino Ranger, created by combining the Dragozord and Stegozord. It was later combined with the stolen Dimetro and Cephalazords to create a powerful combination. The Dino Stegozord was also used by the White Ranger Clone until his destruction and was piloted by Tommy in the episode "Strange Relations". It has also incorporated the Parasaur and Ankylozords. (The clone was a device used to explain the white ranger fighting the heroes, as in Abarangers, Abarekiller fought on the villains' side for the majority of the series)
The Dino Stegazord had several attacks, including a powerful attack known as the Dino Stegazord Stinger/Drago Stinger where it could launch its staff at enemies (this was usually the finishing blow) and another attack, the Stega Laser where it fires a powerful blue ray from its eyes at enemies (this was only used on Angor's second form) and the Tail Attack where it charges up the Stegazord's tail to lash at opponents.
It is unknown what the fate of the Dino Stegazord was in the final battle with the Zelzord, although Tommy said it was essential to sacrifice "all the dinozords".
The reason the Dinostegazord never appeared in the final battle was that in Abarangers, TopGaler(Dragozord) had been killed along wiith Abarekiller
[edit] Mezodon Rover/Megazord
The personal Zord of the Triassic Ranger, the Mezodon has two forms. One is that of a giant chariot pulled by the "Styracozord" (Mezodon Rover), and the other is the Mezodon Megazord. In the chariot form, the Mezodon Rover's wheels can ignite and be used to ram into enemies. In Megazord form, the Mezodon Megazord can use a pair of hatchets as its weapons, which it releases as energy blades in the Hatchet Attack. It also uses the drills on its shoulders to attack enemies. In addition to Conner, the Mezodon Megazord has been piloted by Tommy (in 'A Test of Trust') and Ethan (in 'Thunderstruck').
It was destroyed when Ethan self destructed it to destroy the Zelzord.
[edit] Triceramax Megazord
The Mezodon Megazord could combine with the Cephalo, Parasaur, Dimetro, and Ankylozords to create the more powerful Triceramax Megazord. Its main weapon is a giant double ended axe that unleashes whirlwinds. Its attacks were Turbo Fire where it would release a fireball from the Cephalozord, and the Tricera Lance which produced a wave of fire from using the Ankylozord. Since the Mezodon Megazord was destroyed, this form can no longer be formed.
[edit] Valkasaurus Megazord
The ultimate combination of the Dinozords, the Valkasaurus Megazord is created by combining the Thundersaurus Megazord, Dino Stegazord, and several elements from the Mezodon Megazord. Using the Stegozord's hover mode, the Valkasaurus Megazord can surf down the Brachiozord's neck to unleash attacks. According to Super Sentai continuity, the Valkarsurus Megazord can form without the Mezodon Megazord, although the footage for this combination was not used on Power Rangers.
Note: The toys designate the Valkasaurus Megazord as the "Dino Rage Megazord". Also, it doesn't feature the Mezodon parts, the Dimetrozord (which comes with the Dino Stegazord) is placed as the right arm and the Tyranno Drill strangely replaces the Tricerazord. It would make more sense, however, that the arms of the Thundersaurus Megazord stay as it is.
[edit] Blizzard Force Megazord
The combination of the Carnotaurzord and Chasmozord, the Blizzard Megazord (named the Replicantzord on the show) is an icy, evil version of the Thundersaurus Megazord. The Blizzard Megazord was never featured prominenty in the US (it only had a 10 second appearance in one episode), but was the focus of the Japanese counterpart, Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger's movie.
