Zords in Power Rangers Wild Force

The Zords of Power Rangers Wild Force, called Wild Zords, were fully sentient creatures that had existed for thousands of years (similar to the Galactabeasts of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy). They demonstrated more personality and free will than any of the previous Zords and can communicate with the Rangers using telepathy. These are the first Zords to use an auxiliary Zord system, in which arms and legs can be changed out. This would be seen again in Power Rangers Ninja Storm when the Samurai Star MegaZord becomes the right arm of the Storm MegaZord, Power Rangers Dino Thunder with auxiliary Dino Zords and Power Rangers Operation Overdrive with the DriveMax Zords.

Wild Force features the largest number of Zords seen in a single Power Rangers season, with 23 seen in action and another 4 distinctly named, for a total of 27. Its Sentai equivalent, Gaoranger was said to have 100 distinct mecha; while that number was never stated during Wild Force, it was later confirmed to be the same number. Wild Force is also unique in the interchangeability of the Zords, forming several different types of MegaZords and exchanging Zords between those different forms. Several of the forms of the MegaZords were formed by the Rangers putting together whatever Zords they had access to at the time.

The Wild Zords are controlled with Animal Crystals, small crystal balls that are the color of the Zord with an image of the Zord inside. The Rangers gain a Wild Zord's crystal when they earn its trust. Those crystals are placed in the Rangers' Crystal Sabers to summon the Wild Zords. If a Ranger lost a crystal, they lost control of that Zord. The crystal also represents the life of a Wild Zord, and if a Zord was destroyed, the crystal would then shatter.

Wild Zord List

The primary set of Wild Zords were as follows:

The other Wild Zords that were used by the Rangers are:

In the final episode of Wild Force, "The End of the Power Rangers Part 2", all 100 Wild Zords appear, many having been resurrected following their destruction in the first battle with the Orgs. Though all 100 are seen, only 4 are specifically named as their crystals are drawn to 4 of the Rangers.

Wild Force Megazord

As with all other incarnations of Power Rangers, the Wild Zords could join together to form a humanoid creature/robot called a Megazord. The standard formation in this series was the Wild Force Megazord. The Lion formed the body, the Eagle formed the head, with the Shark forming the right arm, the Tiger forming the left arm, and the Bison forming the legs of the MegaZord. The standard finishing move was the Mega Roar, where each animal involved would fire a beam that destroyed the enemy. A similar finishing move, the Soul Cannon, is used when the Wild Force MegaZord is joined with the Soul Bird where the Soul Bird fires a blast of energy and adds it to the Mega Roar from the other animals. This attack is only used a few times as mostly following this the Wild Force Megazord (when it is used) uses Final Strike where the Megazord would kick the Armadilo Zord at an enemy causing them to be destroyed. This is a very effective attack, as it was used to issue the Predazord its first defeat. Later, it was used by other Megazords as a final move, and was even effective enough to weaken the seemingly invincible Zen-Aku enough to be defeated.

KongaZord

The KongaZord is a secondary MegaZord, formed by the Gorilla, Black Bear, Polar Bear, Eagle, and Bison Zords, with the Gorilla forming the head and body, the Polar and Black bears forming the arms, and the Eagle and Bison forming the legs. As such, it is in "Double Knuckle Mode" by default. Like the other MegaZords, Wild Zords can be interchanged for one another, resulting in the following combinations:

After the Rhino and Armadillo Zords were discovered, the KongaZord often used these in place of the Bison and Eagle. This would allow the rangers to form both the KongaZord and the Wild Force MegaZord simultaneously.

Since the Kongazord has had more appearances with the Rhino attached than the Bison, many fans have speculated that the Rhino and Armadillo form the proper version of the KongaZord while the Bison and Eagle are in fact the alternative Zords.

PredaZord

The PredaZord is the main MegaZord of Zen-Aku and, later, Merrick Baliton. When the mask containing Zen-Aku's spirit was destroyed, Merrick gained control. PredaZord was formed from the Alligator, Hammerhead Shark, and Wolf Zords. The Alligator forms the head, body, and feet with the other two Zords forming detachable arms. As the Lunar Wolf Ranger changes allegiances from evil to good in the series, there are separate "Dark" and "Light" modes to this Zord. In Dark Mode, it can use the Predator Wave finishing move and has a closed wolf helmet with a horn on the top, similar to a Duke Org's horn. The Light Mode PredaZord uses the Revolver Phantom, a "Light" version of the Predator Wave. PredaZord Blue Moon used a powered-up Revolver Phantom called the Blue Moon Wave as its finisher. Both Dark and Light modes have the ability to change their arms with other wild Zords, although this has been only done in the series while in Dark Mode.

Animus

Animus is a god-like Zord similar to the Wild Force MegaZord that aids the Rangers. Animus was an ancient creature of good that had been killed long ago by the original Master Org. The reincarnation of Animus first appeared as small boy who named himself Kite after seeing one, but he later revealed himself in this megaZord form. He is the ancestor of the Wild Force MegaZord.

The Black Lion, Condor, Sawshark, Buffalo, and Jaguar Wild Zords combine to form Animus in his MegaZord form. Animus was twice destroyed by Master Org, once during the Battle of Animaria 3,000 years ago, and again in modern times in Turtle Cove. He returned to destroy Flute Org's Flute allowing the Rangers to call the Isis MegaZord to destroy him with the Deer Spinning Clutch. Animus is never seen morphing together with any other Wild Zords, though he presumably is capable of doing so due to inherent interchangeability of the Wild Zords. He wields a large bow and can use the Animarian Arrow attack. Also in the Soul of Humanity he returned after taking the Wild Zords away to fight alongside the PredaZord Blue Moon saying that he'd always wished to fight alongside Merick but had never gotten the chance to. In this battle he used a sword to strike and weaken an enemy allowing the PredaZord Blue Moon to finish it off with the Blue Moon Wave. Considering the fact that all of the WildZords were resurrected in the finale, including the Rangers' destroyed Zords, it's possible that he was also resurrected again at that time.

Animus is the first Zord who is fully intelligent and able to speak.

Animus was voiced by Charles Gideon Davis, and Kite was played by Ryan Goldstein.

Isis MegaZord

The Isis MegaZord is another MegaZord that can be formed through a combination of the Wild Zords. Unlike the others, the Isis MegaZord is capable of flight, thanks to the Falcon Zord forming the head and body; the Giraffe Zord and the Deer Zord forms the arms, and the Rhino and Armadillo Zords form the legs. It also can perform the Deer Clutcher, Giraffe Spear, Final Strike, and Isis Stare attacks.

Isis MegaZord Modes

Again, due to the interchangeable parts, the Isis MegaZord is able to change into the following combinations (among others):

In all the episodes of the series, the Isis MegaZord is the only megaZord besides the Pegasus MegaZord to never be defeated in battle. All the Zords that form it are desert based.

Like the Wild Force MegaZord, the standard Zords for the Isis MegaZord had weapons based on them, used by the rangers. The Wild Force MegaZord weapons created the Jungle Sword, while the Isis MegaZord weapons formed the Jungle Blaster. The Rangers never had to interchange Zords for this MegaZord until "Fishing For A Friend" where all the Zords but the Falcon, Bison, Wolf and Hammerhead Shark Zords were incapacitated. The Rangers formed Predator Mode in an attempt to make a MegaZord out of the remaining Zords and succeeded.

Pegasus MegaZord

The Pegasus MegaZord is another MegaZord that can be formed through a combination of the Wild Zords, and the first ever centaur-like MegaZord formation. This MegaZord is also capable of flight due to the Falcon Zord being a component. However, its main component is the Red Lion forming the legs. It comprised the Falcon, the Shark, the White Tiger, the Elephant, and a giant Red Lion. This is only formed once on the series to fight Onikage but the Rangers recognized it when it arrived so it must have been used before offscreen. In this instance the Wild Zords formed the MegaZord and came and fought on their own due to Princess Shayla's tears hitting her necklace causing them to be summoned. As the Pegasus MegaZord they destroyed the Org Spirits by striking each with the Elephant Sword and then destroyed Onikage by freezing him with Isis Stare and finishing him off with Dance of the Beast King.

Abilities

Finishing moves for these MegaZords depended on the arms and legs attached:
