Zords in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zords used during Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy were in fact sentient creatures called Galactabeasts. The "sentient creature" idea had been used frequently in Super Sentai, but this was its first proper use in a Power Rangers series.

[edit] Galactabeasts

The Galactabeasts are giant animals that can be communicated with by the Galaxy Rangers, and after drawing energy from the Transdaggers, they can become metallic Galactazords and merge into the Galaxy Megazord. The Galactabeasts are:

  • The Lion Galactabeast/zord, piloted by the Red Ranger, Leo Corbett.
  • The Condor Galactabeast/zord, piloted by the Green Ranger, Damon Henderson.
  • The Gorilla Galactabeast/zord, piloted by the Blue Ranger, Kai Chen.
  • The Wolf Galactabeast/zord, piloted by the Yellow Ranger, Maya.

The Galactabeasts currently reside on Mirinoi, but briefly left to help battle Trakeena.

[edit] Galaxy Megazord

The main Megazord of Lost Galaxy, the Galaxy Megazord is the combined form of all the Galactabeasts. The Wildcat and Wolf formed the arms, the Gorilla formed the entire lower body, the Condor attached the Megazord's back and served as a weapon, and the Lion formed the chest and head. The Galaxy Megazord can gain enhanced power from the Lights of Orion called the Orion Galaxy Megazord, and also possesses the sentience of the Galactabeasts that form it. Its main weapon is the Galaxy Megazord Saber, but it can also fire a missile using the Condor Galactazord in Missile Mode.

[edit] Torozord

The personal Zord of the Magna Defender, the Torozord is rather like a Galactabeast. The Torozord is a bull that is loyal to the Magna Defender but does not always go along with his rather brutal methods. Torozord can make Magna Defender grow to giant size called the Mega Defender, and either serves as his steed or merges with him to become Defender Torozord. Defender Torozord is a Megazord with powerful slashing attacks, armed with both a lance, or with the large Defender Axe. The Torozord was destroyed when Mike, the second Magna Defender, self destructed it to hold open the portal Terra Venture used to escape the Lost Galaxy. Strangely, Torozord was briefly shown to be present during the battle with Trakeena on Earth a year later during the Lost Galaxy/Lightspeed Rescue team up episodes.

Torozord is the first "talking" zord: On a few occasions, the Torozord is shown on screen and Mike's voice is heard emanating from it. (Usually, the screen switches to the cockpit whenever the Rangers talk.)

[edit] The Lost Galactabeasts

The Rhino, Phoenix, and Shark Galactabeasts were involved in a terrible battle 3,000 years prior to the launch of Terra Venture that left them dormant for all that time. They were found by Deviot and rebuilt into Zords to use against the Lost Galaxy Rangers.

[edit] Centaurus Megazord

The Rhino Galactabeast was turned into the Centaurus Megazord and was comprised of five smaller automobile-like Zords C1 through C5. The Megazord was armed with a powerful blaster cannon. It was later destroyed after being covered in bomb-equipped Sting Wingers.

[edit] Stratoforce Megazord

The Phoenix Galactabeast was turned into the Stratoforce Megazord and was comprised of five smaller airplane-like Zords S1 through S5. With its boomerang weapon, it aided the Rangers in many battles. On one occasion, it used the Centaurus Megazord's blaster (The Chameliac Warrior). However, it was destroyed when it became enveloped in a swarm of bomb equipped Sting Wingers during Trakeena's final assault on Terra Venture.

[edit] Zenith Carrierzord

The rebuilt Shark Galactabeast was turned into the Zenith Carrierzord that carried the C1 through C5 and S1 through S5 Zords. Zenith almost never joined combat - only once, in the episode "Enter the Lost Galaxy", is it seen using its attack (a pair of large beam cannons). Zenith never took a hit in combat.

Unlike Stratoforce and Centaurs, Zenith managed to escape Trakeena's forces and joined the other remaining Galactabeasts on Mirinoi.
