This article is about a Megazord in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. |
- "Galaxy Megazord, online!"
- ―The Galaxy Rangers order the combination.
The Galaxy Megazord is the primary Megazord of the Galaxy Rangers.
Overview[]
The Galaxy Megazord is created when the original five Galactabeasts become the Galactazords with the power of the Transdaggers, with the Gorilla Galactazord forming the hips and legs, the Condor Galactazord creating the waistline while also becoming the Condor Galactazord Missile Mode in back-mounted storage, the Lion Galactazord assembling the torso and head, and the Wolf and Wildcat Galactazords becoming the right and left arms respectively with fists attaching onto both Galactazords. The Galaxy Megazord still retains the sentience of the individual Galactabeasts, making it the first sentient Megazord of the Power Rangers franchise.
The standard weapon for the Galaxy Megazord is the Galaxy Megazord Saber which could charge up with white energy to perform a quadruple energy slash; this slash was powerful enough to destroy Gasser, weaken Ruptor, and take down Rocketron. The Megazord was also equipped with the Condor Galactazord Missile Mode, where the Condor Galactazord's torso, head and wings separated from its legs to form a ranged weapon in the fashion of an energy crossbow; with it, the Condor Galactazord could fire the Missile Launch attack. This was the Megazord's primary finisher, where he would summon the weapon and charge up the inside of the Condor Galactazord's open beak with green energy before firing a bolt to impale and obliterate the monster.
It can also fire small energy blasts from its hands as seen in Loyax' Last Battle when it destroyed the titular monster's mind control device.
The Galaxy Megazord can also be used in Power Rangers: Super Legends.

History[]
Lost Galaxy[]
- "Galactazords, transform now!"
- ―Special call used to morph the Galactabeasts into Galactazord form[src]
The Galactabeasts are the primary Zords of the Galaxy Rangers in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. When infused with the power of the Transdaggers they become the Galactazords and form the Galaxy Megazord. The Galactabeasts are the first sentient Zords of the Power Rangers franchise, followed by Wild Force's Wildzords.
They were found on an unnamed wild planet, captured by Scorpius' Stingwingers lead by a monster named Brunt, and imprisoned in large boxes. A fair distance from the planet, Maya heard the distressed call of the Wolf and other Galactabeasts on the Terra Venture. Against the warnings of Kai and Kendrix, she, Leo and Damon took the Astro Megaship out from Terra Venture's docking bay to the planet.
Maya devised a plan in which she would use herself as bait to draw Brunt and the Stingwingers away, allowing Leo and a reluctant Damon to free the animals. When she returned, they were ambushed by Brunt, who returned sooner than expected, forcing them to morph and fight. Kai and Kendrix arrive in time to fend Brunt off long enough to free the Galactabeasts. The Galactabeasts express their thanks to the Rangers and depart before reappearing on Terra Venture, the Lion Galactabeast finishing off Radster (Brunt's replacement after he failed). The Galactabeasts appear to have taken up residence on the colony afterward, responding to the call of the Rangers ("Galactabeasts, arise!") whenever they are needed individually or together.
The beasts never truly use their Megazord form until they are after turned to stone, a result of absorbing the noxious gases of Gasser, a monster who rendered all of Terra Venture unconscious for Furio to take control of the colony. As Gasser attacks the Galactabeasts, the Rangers utilize the energy from their Transdaggers to revive the fallen beasts. Their endeavor succeeds, reviving the Galactabeasts and transforming them into Galactazords, which allows them to transform into the Galaxy Megazord.
As opposed to words or thoughts, Galactabeasts communicate with their respective Rangers and each other through feelings, which allows Maya, and later, Leo, to speak to them in the sense that they use their hearts.
In the final events of Journey's End, the Galactabeast rescue both Mirinoi and the Rangers from certain death, when they transformed into the Galaxy Megazord of their own will and steered the battered central dome of Terra Venture away from the colonists into a nearby clearing. The colonists believed they perished in the explosion, only to be proven wrong a moment later when both the Zords and the Rangers emerged from the smoke, relatively unharmed. When Mirinoi is restored to its original state, the Galactabeast celebrate with fireworks.
Lightspeed Rescue[]
From there on out, the Galacabeasts remained semi-active, following the Galaxy Rangers wherever they went, as seen in Trakeena's Revenge, when they are called into battle alongside the Omega Megazord to combat Trakeena's third and final mutated form (a direct result of a poison knife thrown into Trakeena's lifeforce concoction by Olympius) on Earth. The Galactabeasts presently reside on Mirinoi with the Galaxy Rangers.
Cosmic Fury[]
The Galaxy Megazord is one of five Legacy Megazords that return to help the Cosmic Fury Rangers during the battle against the Squidrills. TV STORY-The End

Lion Galactabeast[]
- See also: Starbeast GingaLeon
The Lion Galactabeast/Galactazord is the lion-like beast of fire. It is controlled by Leo Corbett and has the power to fire blasts of flame. He forms the Galaxy Megazord's head and torso.
During the events of Forever Red, the Lion Galactabeast did not follow Leo to the Moon on the mission to stop Serpentera's revival, most likely because he was not called upon or was asked to stay behind.

Appearances: LG Episodes 3, 5-10, 14-17, 19, 20, 22, 24-29, 31, 32, 35-37, 39-41, 45; LR Episode 30
Additional Formations[]
Orion Galaxy Megazord[]
- "Galaxy Megazord, Power Up Mode!"
- ―Special call used to morph Galaxy Megazord into a special Lights of Orion-powered extension transformation[src]
After the Rangers obtained the Lights of Orion, the Megazord gained an Orion-based boost in power as well, gaining a "V"-shaped chestplate, a reshapening of its head horn ornaments and the materialization of three new head horn ornaments as well as a new Galaxy Megazord Saber.
The Orion Galaxy Megazord has the ability to channel Leo's Galactic Fire Power as a weapon as shown with when it used this ability to destroy Grunchor.
In this form, the Megazord solely relied on the improved Galaxy Megazord Saber to fight, though in An Evil Game, the Condor Galactazord Missile Mode attack was used to destroy Kubak as the Rangers didn't use the power of the Lights of Orion in that particular battle. This was also used during Mean Wheels Mantis against the Motor Mantis. This attack was attempted with the Lights of Orion against Grunchor in the episode Grunchor on the Loose but had no effect on him.
The Megazord's primary finisher involves charging up the Galaxy Megazord Saber with golden energy to perform an almighty diagonal slash into the monster which would rip a line through them and cause them to disintegrate into rubble instead of exploding.

Notes[]
- The Galactabeasts are Power Rangers' first sentient Zords.
- This is the first Megazord not to have a team cockpit, with each Ranger staying in their individual cockpits after the combination.
- This is also the only Megazord with cockpits of this design to require each Ranger to stand.
- No connection between the Quasar Sabers and the Galactabeasts are ever established or even hinted at in the show, despite the fact the emblems on the Quasar Sabers and the appearance of the Galaxy Rangers' helmets all match their respective Galactabeast.
- The Galactabeasts and the Galaxy Megazord Lights of Orion armor did not have American toy counterparts.
- Starting with Episode 5, the Wildcat Galactabeast suit was modified from her original appearance in the first two episodes in Sentai footage. The changes to the suit include;
- The fur having a much brighter shade of pink.
- The horns and eyes were enlarged and have a more golden color.
- The mouth was redesigned.
- Its name is similar to the Astro Megazord's counterpart from Denji Sentai Megaranger Galaxy Mega.
