"Install! Megaranger!"

―Transformation call

The Transformation Brace Degitaizer (変身ブレス デジタイザー, Henshin Buresu Dejitaizā) is the wrist-worn all-purpose transformation device of the core five Megarangers. Depending on the three-digit code entered on the Digitizer activated with a press of 'Enter' (The capital 'E' with the 'Enter' symbol seen beside the initial), they can activate their Mega Suits, call their Cyber Sliders, and activate their Mecha. It can be used also to communicate with INET. To prevent from being used by others, the Degitaizers can recognize their user's voice pattern and they have a voice-lock function.

Codes

The Degitaizer uses a series of codes that each access several functions - when the Degitaizer is opened with a press of the lock to trigger the automatic opening, the panel that flips open to reveal the keypad has a display of the many codes that the Degitaizer can use, which are activated with a press of 'Enter' (written as the initial letter in 'Enter', 'E', with the 'Enter' symbol seen beside the initial) when a code is entered:

• 335: Transformation into a Megaranger. (The transformation call is "Install! Megaranger!" (「 インストール！メガレンジャー ！」, "Insutōru! Megarenjā!")).
• 259: Calls the Cyber Sliders
• 761: Calls the Digitank
• 108: Launches the Mega Shuttle
• 541: Deploys the Galaxy Mega
• 912: Activates a 'Simon Says'-type game (toy only).
• 730: Activates the series' title song (Super Sentai Artisan Megareal edition toy only)
• 755: Activates the series' ending theme song (Super Sentai Artisan Megareal edition toy only)
• 031: Deploys Mega Voyager (Super Sentai Artisan Megareal edition toy only)

At the climax of the Legend War, the Degitaizer was made redundant when the Megarangers sacrificed their powers with the rest of the first 34 Super Sentai teams to destroy the invasion force of the Space Empire Zangyack. Resurfacing as Ranger Keys, the Megaranger powers would be used by the Gokaigers to assume their forms via the Gokai Change. Ultimately, the Gokaigers returned their borrowed powers to their rightful owners after overthrowing Zangyack.

Transformation Sequence

First and second episodes

Starting from episode 2 onwards, a transforming Megaranger presents his/her Degitaizer before bringing the Degitaizer to their chest...

...for opening the keypad and then pressing '335'.

The transforming Megaranger's command for their Megaranger name registers...

...followed by the team name.

Instantly, at the console, a wireless chain reaction begins occurring after the transformation code's activation...

...as the Mega Suits are 'summoned' from the console...

...teleporting towards the Degitaizer.

The transforming Megaranger raises his/her arms up...

...while the Degitaizer begins unleashing light displays (colored to match each Megaranger's color) around the user.

A shot of each Megaranger's eye sees a shot of the stock footage background flying from the eye and covering the entire screen...

...as each Megaranger's Mega Suit begins materializing into view first with a one-color display...

...finishing its appearance with all of the suit's ordinarily colored details appearing in a forming effect. Transformation complete, followed by the other transforming Megarangers' Mega Suit forms appearing after the shown transforming Megaranger enters a finished transformation stance.

Regular version (Starting from Episode 3)

In a real-time shot in any episode, a transforming Megaranger presents his/her Degitaizer and then brings the Degitaizer to their chest.

The transformation sequence starts with a close-up shot of the Degitaizer being opened followed by the transformation code '335' (accompanied by a special effect of light-formed manifestations of the input numbers flying from each digit towards the viewer) being entered and then, with a press of 'Enter', activated - the lights of the Degitaizer start flashing when the code is activated.

A full-body shot of a Megaranger's civilian form sees the transforming Megaranger bring their arms downwards before the Mega Suit appears through laser lines followed by the Mega Suit spinning 360° after materialization for a full-view body display.

As the Mega Suit's full body is shown with the 360° spin display effect, arsenal and specs (Attack, Defense and Speed) are registered while MEGA[COLOR] READY is shown.

OK appears in a black background...

...which, with a zoom-out 90° spin, transitions into a facial shot of the Mega Suit and a screen display appearing on the Mega Suit's forehead display screen. Transformation complete.

Notes

• The Degitaizer is the first "talking" transformation device
  • The voice used in the first episode for the Degitaizer was that of Samuel Pop Aning, who played I.N.E.T. technician Pop.
  • The Degitaizer was the first changer whose toy had its sounds recorded from the series rather than having the usual electronic sound beeps from the previous changers' toys.
  • Most of the phrases behind the Rangers are song titles by the band Electric, from the self-titled album of the same name.
• Though not specifically cell phones, the communications means used by the Degitaizers are frequencies used by other digital devices such as cells, pagers and PDAs; this is a key plot point when the Nejirangers try to track them down using this signal.
