"Mastodon-Lion Thunderzord Power!"

The Lion Thunderzord is the second zord of the orginal Black Mighty Morphin Ranger and the second the second Black Mighty Morphin Ranger

Creation
During Lord Zedd's return to Earth, he created the monster Pirantishead to battle the rangers. During the first encounter, the rangers called on the Dinozords to battle Pirantishead. When the zords arrived, Pirantishead used his powers to freeze the Mastodon, Triceratops, Sabter-tooth tiger, and Pterodactyl Dinozords, leaving them fozen in blocks of ice. He then used his powers to take controll of the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord and later the Dragonzord. During this crises. Zordon and Alpha 5, began work on the creation of the Thunderzords. By using the Dinozords as templates, they would use the "power of thunder" to transform the zords into the "new zords." The Mastodon was the template to create the more powerful Lion Thunderzord. It did not share the same abilities as the Mastodon, but it was given greater armor and defense.

Thunder Megazord
The Lion Thunderzord formed the torso, arms, and helmet of the Thunder Megazord. It was also the forward componet of the Thunderzord Assault Team.

Destruction
When the Thunder Megazord was destroyed, so too fell the Lion Thunderzord. The Black Ranger would later use the Frog Ninjazord.
