Zords in Power Rangers: Time Force

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zords in Power Rangers: Time Force are highly advanced machines sent from the future that the Time Force Power Rangers can pilot. This is notably the first series of Power Rangers where none of the zords were in fact destroyed(at any given point), except in the case of Power Rangers Zeo, where none of the zords were destroyed, and in the end, were simply "retired".

[edit] Transwarp Megazord

In Time Force, all of the Zords (except the Quantasaurus Rex) are stored in the year 3000, at Time Force's base. They are sent through time by the Transwarp Megazord when needed, by using the Megazord's extendible arm to hit the Zord in order for it to attain the necessary velocity for time travel. Its combat capabilities are largely unknown, although the arm that it uses to send other Time Force Zords back in time can be used as a weapon. The Transwarp has only participated in battle once, and its travel to the past was only made possible by the warping powers of the mutant Cinecon.

[edit] Time Flyers

Each of the five Rangers have control of their respectively-colored Time Flyers, which can combine in three different ways to form the Time Force Megazord: Mode Red, Mode Blue, and Jet Mode. (In this way, it is similar to the mecha from Jetman.) Ostensibly, the Time Flyers are stored in the year 3000 for the sole reason that it is not possible to refuel them in the year 2001.

[edit] Time Force Megazord

The five Time Flyers can combine into the Time Force Megazord in modes Red, Blue, and Jet Modes. The Time Force Megazord Jet Mode is simply a larger aircraft capable of using the Cyclone Defense. In the course of the series, however, the Jet Mode has never finished off an opposing monster, instead having to switch to Mode Blue, or more commonly Mode Red. Because of this, the Jet Mode is almost never recognized as being a Megazord.

The Time Force Megazord Mode Blue is optimized for speed, and it can use the Time Jet in Blaster Mode. Mode Blue is formed with Pink and Yellow Time Flyers forming the legs, Red making the body and head, and Green and Blue forming the arms. It uses the nose/cockpit section of the Red Time Flyer to form its head, so the head is more triangular than that of Mode Red. The finishing move for Mode Blue involves using the Time Jet in gun mode to freeze enemies.

The Time Force Megazord Mode Red, on the other hand, is optimized for power. Mode Red is formed with Green and Blue Time Flyers becoming the legs; Red making the body and head; and Pink and Yellow becoming the arms; while the wings of Red and the noseshields of Pink and Yellow combine to become a shield. It is armed with the Time Force Megazord Saber, allowing it to use the Blizzard Slash attack to freeze enemies. Typically, one Ranger would say "Your time is up" before its use. During its use, the sides of the sword would close, and the slash itself would commence in earnest when the sides are fully merged with the blade.

[edit] Shadow Winger/Time Shadow Megazord

Later on in the series, the Shadow Winger appears to aid the Rangers. Its presence is often heralded with a solar eclipse. For a long time, the identity of the person who sends the Shadow Winger back in time is unknown - later it is revealed to be Alex. The Shadow Winger can become the Time Shadow Megazord, and can also combine with the Time Force Megazord to form the Shadow Force Megazord Mode Blue or Red, depending on what mode the Time Force Megazord is in. In Super Sentai, but not Power Rangers, the Time Shadow can also be combined with the Omega Megazord and the Wild Force Megazord.

[edit] Shadow Force Megazord

The Time Shadow can combine with the Time Force Megazord to form the Shadow Force Megazord. This Zord is basically the same as the Time Force Megazord, but with increased power and additional armor. Like the Time Force Megazord, the Shadow Force also comes equipped with the Shadow Force Megazord Saber which has a sword and blaster, with its attacks Time Target and Blizzard Slash.

[edit] Quantasaurus-Rex

The Quantasaurus-Rex (Q-Rex for short) is operated through voice activation by the Eric Myers/Quantum Ranger. Like many Other Ranger Zords before it, it is not piloted by the Quantum Ranger. It is incapable of combining with other Zords, although it can change from its Dinosaur Mode to Megazord Mode, and the Time Force Megazord in Mode Red has often ridden on the back of the Q-Rex as it finished off the enemy. Originally a prototype Zord from Time Force, the Q-Rex was one of the first objects to be sent back in time, but it was lost in time during the Jurassic until recovered by Wes and Eric. It is powered by Trizerium Crystals, a technology developed in the future and manufactured from what is considered industrial waste today. Due to its unstable nature, it can often go berserk and out of control. Its main weapons in dinosaur mode are a pair of cannons on its back and a giant laser that fires from its mouth. When the Quantasaurus-Rex transforms into Megazord form, it undergoes several changes in arsenal. Its dinosaur mode back lasers are replaced by shoulder mounted cryo-units, which are used in the Max Blizzard attack to freeze mutant enemies into stasis. It can also fire its left hand in the Q-Rex Fist attack, similar to an attack used by the Astro Delta Megazord. Its final weapon is the Q-Rex Missile gauntlet located on its right hand. This Megazord also has a special emitter on its chest which was used to give Eric the Mega Battle Armor. The Q-Rex continues to serve Eric.
