Original American Megazord Footage

Original American Megazord Footage

from Henshin Grid by Lavender Ranger

I decided to list the instances that the Power Rangers producers didn't use stock footage from Super Sentai of robots fighting and made their own! (I might be missing some!!!)


Tigrzord vs. Thunder Megazord
In "The Best Man for the Job" of Season 2, Rita gets control of Saba and calls upon the White Tigerzord to fight the Thunder Megazord. The majority of the fight was original footage, but funny enough there was footage of the two titans fighting in Dairanger. But maybe because he was fighting alongside Thunder (Silverhorns) and wouldn't make sense. Also in that scene, the Ryuuranger (red) went into Kibaranger's (white) cockpit to stop him and Saban didn't have the white ranger's cockpit.

Repellator vs. Thunderzords
In "A Friend in Need" Part 3 of Season 3, we see a second Thunderzord battle, between the repainted Silver Horns. It fought Thunder Megazord and the White Tigerzord. This was specifically shot for Power Rangers only.

Thunderzords deconstruct
In "Ninja Quest Part 1," the Thunder Megazord and White Tigerzord are ripped apart, all original footage. Thi did not come from Dairanger.

Rita and Zedd finally grow
When not technically a Megazord battle, when I was a kid, I was like 'why doesn't Rita and Zedd grow themselves?" In "Rangers in Reverse," Rita and Zedd make themselves, including Goldar and Rito grow.

The Rangers finally grow
In "Good as Gold," the Gold Ranger makes the Zeo Rangers grow. Many complaints from non-fans that why the Rangers didn't grow and fight on their own, and not use robos. This didn't happen in Ohranger.

Mega Winger Battle
In "Countdown to Destruction" in "Power Rangers in Space," Mega Silver in Mega Winger battled evil. There was also footage of Mega Voyager falling down and the Rangers in front of it that wasn't stock from Megaranger.

Astro Megazord and Galaxy Megazord fight Psycho Pink
The Astro Megazord was present throughout the Lost Galaxy season but wasn't used until the Space Rangers arrive. Presumely because they didn't have the shuttle, they couldn't form the Megazord and the Rangers probably brought the shuttle. Anyhoo, the producers provided new footage of the new megazords fighting the Psycho Pink monster. This was the only Teamup Megazord battle that was original.

Torozord keeping the wormhole open
In "Escape from the Lost Galaxy," the Torozord (even though being small enough to fit in the TerraVenture) kept the portal open for TerraVenture to go through.

Centarurus and Stratoforce battling
We had the two zords fghting evil outside of the crash city dome in "A Journey's End Part 2".

Galactabeasts
We saw the Galactabeasts (outside of Gingaman footage) in their first introduction, come out of cages, be 'surfed on' by Cassie and finally enjoying fireworks on Mirinoi. And I think the Lion and Wolf would go to Maya to get everyone worried from time to time, all American footage. I think Lost Galaxy was the only season to have the most original 'big' footage.

Lifeforce Megazord and Omega Megazord
In Lightspeed Rescue finale, the Lifeforce Megazord was taken over by the bad guys and they used it to destroy the Aquabase, which of course wasn't part of GoGo Five. And they also shot new footage of the Omega Megazord.

The Only Disney Megazord Footage
In Power Rangers SPD, we were served the first original battle between Omni and SWAT Megazord. Omni of course was CGI and probably the footage of the Rangers in their cockpits was recycled.
