Zords (MMPR3)

Ninjazords and Shogunzords
See also: Three God Generals

The new Ninja coins ultimately gave the Rangers control over two sets of Zords. The Ninja Zords, based off their animals, was given to them by Ninjor. The Shogunzords, humanoid Zords whose appearance were influenced by these same animals, were "given" to the Rangers by Rita and Zedd.

Ninja Megazord and Ninja MegaFalconzord
See ,also: Super Stealth Beasts, Kakure Daishogun

After the Thunderzords were destroyed by Rito Revolto, the Rangers travelled to the Temple of Power, where a legendary being named Ninjor (the alleged creator of the original Power Coins) gave them new powers and new Ninjazords. The Ninjazords were the Falcon, Bear, Crane, Wolf, Frog, and Ape. These Zords used the cunning and stealth of Ninja instead of brute force.

The Ninja Megazord was the combination of the Bear, Crane, Wolf, Frog, and Ape Ninjazords. The Black Frog formed the legs, and attached to the Yellow Bear, which formed the torso. The Blue Wolf and Red Ape formed the two arms, left and right respectively, and the Pink Crane formed the head. Equipped with its Power Gloves, it can throw super energy punches. It's main strength was it's speed - it was much more agile than previous Megazords, but it couldn't hold anything due to it's lack of fingers. Optionally, the White Falcon could attach to the back of the Megazord, giving it flight capability; this combination was referred to as the Ninja MegaFalconzord. It could fly into the air and finsh off monsters by using the Wolf and Ape Ninjazords' fists to fly and hit the monster.

The Ninja Megazord is the first Megazord not to have a weapon finisher. In the TV series, the Megazord also is the first not to sport a weapon. The movie version of the Megazord sports a weapon but it's unknown if it lacks the finisher move, as the Fire Saber is destroyed before they can use the move.

The Ninjazords are apparently inoperable if one of their own are taken out of commision. When the Falconzord was stolen by Kat while she was under Rita's spell, the rangers couldn't summon the other five until Billy constructed a remote to replicate the Falconzord's systems within the Ninja Megazord. When Master Vile reversed time, the rangers lost the ability to summon their Ninjazords. With the destruction of the Power Coins in this altered past, it doesn't appear that the rangers were capable of summoning them in the restored present, as Zordon, Billy, and Alpha 5 were forced to construct new zords for the Zeo Rangers.

thumb|right|200px|Ninja Megazord in the movieThe Ninja Megazord and Ninja MegaFalconzord were featured in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, making their debut months before the premiere of the show's third season. Rather than through the use of toys or costumes, the Zords were rendered using computer imaging, the Kakuranger toys being used as reference. However, the resulting Zords only barely resembled what was used in the show. Noticeable differences would be the change in transformation mechanisms, the functional hand from the Ape arm, the Wolf's head for a left hand, the use of the Shogun Megazord's Fire Saber as a Power Sword, and the transformed crane for a cockpit, instead of two eyes. The seating arrangement was different as well. During the series, the rangers sat in the cockpit as such to match previous Megazords (and arguably, their rank as well, with red sitting in front). In the movie, they sat in the order their zords were combined, with pink ranger in the front of the cockpit with the others arranged around her. The zords in the movie are also much smaller than in the series. While the television series' zords towered over entire cities, the zords here fit comfortably within the city streets, making them more the size of the giant robots of Japanese anime. The Ninja MegaFalconzord was also referred to as the "Ninja Falcon Megazord".

Falconzord
See also: Holy Stealth Beast Tsubasamaru

The Falconzord is the third Zord of Tommy Oliver, the White Ranger. It can shoot powerful beams from its mouth and it could also shoot missiles from its wingtip cannons. Also, in the movie, the Falconzord could fire rockets from the front of its wings as well as its wingtips.

When the Falconzord was captured by Kat and given to Zedd, it made the remaining Ninja Zords inoperable. With the Falcon retrieved, the Ninja Zords were back in action, but were soon lost again when time on Earth was reversed and the Ranger powers were lost when Rita and Zedd destroyed the Power Coins. However, the Falconzord was modified in such a way that it can operate as a separate entity from Tommy's Falcon Power Coin. The Falconzord can combine with the Shogun Megazord to form the Shogun Megafalconzord. This made the Falconzord the first non-Carrierzord to be compatible with more than one set of Zords.

Since the destruction of the Ninja Power Coins, The Falconzord was the only zord which was still operable due it being able to operate seperate from the Ninja Falcon Power Coin. Since the introduction of the Zeo Crystal as the new source of the Rangers Power, the Falconzord now lies dormant on Earth.

Black Frog Zord
See also: Super Stealth Beast God Gammer

The Frog Ninjazord is the second Zord of Adam Park, the second Black Ranger. It formed the legs of the Ninja Megazord. When on its own, it could breath fire and release several smaller frogs, which can latch on to their target and produce an electric shock. Also, in the movie, it can lasso a monster with its tongue and send an electric pulse through the tongue to electrocute the enemy. The Black Frog zord was lost when Master Vile reversed time and the ninja coins were destroyed.

Of interesting note, in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, Adam expressed disappointment over being assigned the frog as his animal, being the first (and so far only) ranger to be unhappy with his Zord.

Pink Crane Zord
See also: Super Stealth Beast God Kark

Crane Ninjazord was piloted by Kimberly Hart, as the Pink Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. The Crane Ninjazord was given to Kimberly by Ninjor, who was its keeper for a long time. The Zord also became Katherine's Ninjazord following Kimberly's departure. On its own, the Crane can fire lasers from its wings. The Crane Ninjazord formed the head of the Ninja Megazord, the Ninja Megafalconzord and the Ninja Ultrazord. .

Blue Wolf Zord
See also: Super Stealth Beast God Logan

The Wolf Ninjazord is the third Zord of Billy Cranston, the Blue Ranger. When fighting alone, it was capable of doing flips and striking enemies with its tail. It was also shown to have blinding speed and agility. In the movie, it was shown biting one of Ivan Ooze's Ectomorphicons, and not letting go. It forms the left arm of the Ninja Megazord.

Yellow Bear Zord
See also: Super Stealth Beast God Kumard

The Bear Ninjazord is the second Zord of Aisha Campbell, the second Yellow Ranger. When fighting alone, it could create massive earthquakes by stomping the ground, or fire energy blasts from its eyes. It formed the torso of the Ninja Megazord.

Red Ape Zord
See also: Super Stealth Beast God Saruder

The Ape Ninjazord is the second Zord of Rocky DeSantos, the second Red Ranger. The Ape Ninjazord was given to Rocky by Ninjor, who was its keeper for a long time. It was the humanoid fighter of the group, the only Ninjazord to stand on two legs and battle. It used twin ninja-to as its weapons, and formed the right arm of the Ninja Megazord.

Shogun Megazord and Shogun Mega Falconzord
See also: Giant Beast Generals, Muteki Shogun

When Falconzord, Kimberly, and Ninjor were captured by Rita and Zedd, they blackmailed the Rangers into piloting the ancient Shogunzords. However, Billy was able to take control of them, allowing the Rangers to use them as a replacement for the incapacitated Ninjazords. While the Ninja Megazord is swift and agile, the Shogun Megazord is burly and powerful. Consequently, it lacks speed. It is heavily armored, yet still functional. Its main weapon, the Fire Saber, destroys opponents with a fire slash. Because there was no Pink Shogunzord in the series, the Pink Ranger would have to co-pilot the White Shogunzord with Tommy.

After being banished to the M51 Galaxy, Vile transfers the Zeo Crystal to the Shogun Megazord's engine room, where he establishes an energy link. The Rangers find the "big toe emergency exit", and use their Blade Blasters to break through the rust and corrosion that ravaged the Zords on the planetoid to get in. Once inside, they focus the energies from their Ninja Coins in conjunction with the Morphing Grid and broke Vile's link to the Zeo Crystal. This in turn also returns control of the Ninja Megazord and Shogun Megazord as well as the Falconzord to them.

When the Orb of Doom turned the rangers into children, the Alien Rangers of Aquitar assumed command over the Shogun Zords, presumably powering them with their Power Coins in place of the Earth Rangers'. It is notable that the Alien Rangers are never seen in the cockpits of either the individual Zords or the Megazord itself, though they were seen teleporting up on at least one occasion. It is unknown what became of the Shogunzords after time was restored by the Zeo Crystal.

Falconzord was able to slot in between the arms and the torso, creating the Shogun Mega Falconzord. This transformation would involve the arms of the Shogun Megazord detaching, the Falconzord wrapping its wings around the Megazord, then the arms connecting back onto the wings. Shogun Megafalconzord attacked by firing the Falconzord's cannons at enemies, which was a stronger attack then its sword.

Trivia
 * Though it does not exist in the series, for the toyline there was a Pink Shogunzord. It was simply the White Shogunzord painted pink to give the core five rangers a zord for each Megazord. Technically, this would actually fit more when it comes to the rangers' Power Coins, as the White Shogunzord features the face and symbol of the Crane Ninjazord on its exterior, rather then the Falcon. The fact that the white Aquitian Ranger seems to be patterned more after a Crane than a Falcon (and the similarities between the White Shogunzord and Battleborg) has led to frequent fan conjecture that the Shogunzords were designed by Ninjor with the Aquitian's power coins in mind. Of course, production-wise this can be attributed to the use of Sentai footage.
 * According to Super Sentai continuity, the Fire Saber is capable of shrinking down to human size and used by the Kakurangers to destroy monsters, though the human sized version of the Fire Saber was never used in Power Rangers.

Titanus and the Ninja and Shogun Ultrazords
When the Ninja Megafalconzord combines with the original carrier zord Titanus, the Ninja Ultrazord is formed. It could fire shoulder mounted blasters. The only enemy it was used against was Face Stealer.

When the Shogun Megafalconzord combines with the Titanus, the Shogun Ultrazord is formed. The only enemy it was used against was Dischordia.

These were US only creations. Kakuranger did not have its own carrier beast like Zyuranger (Titanus) and Dairanger (Tor) did. The zord was formed by taking the two toys that made the zords and putting them together, hence why the Shogun Ultrazord and Dischordia never appeared in the same shot, and why the White Shogunzord is pink in any shot of the megazord. Other mistakes on this were that the shinobi kanji on Shogun Megazord's shoulders were replaced by thunderbolt-like S's and Titanus had the Dragonzord chest plate on the front.

Battle Borgs
See also: Beast General Fighters

The Battle Borgs are the colossal humanoid robots of the Alien Rangers. They have no transformation abilities, but instead have great mobility. The Battle Borgs are summoned by the Alien Rangers with coins, and are controlled by a mental link, allowing the Rangers to remain off the battlefield during a fight. The technology allowing a telepathic link between a Battle Borg and its pilot was later utilized in the Red Battlezord. The Battle Borgs did have a finisher, where the Red was launched as a fireball/comet through the enemy by all of the other Battle Borgs. The finisher was successful against Slotsky. It was also attempted against the Barbarik Brothers, but failed.
