- "Rangers, form High Octane Megazord."
- ―Scott Truman[src]
The High Octane Megazord is formed when the Zord Attack Vehicles of the Red, Blue and Yellow Ranger Operators come together.
This is one of the two Megazords and three Zords not to be deleted by the Venjix Virus.
Overview[]
Either one or both of the High Octane Megazord's arms can fold up to accommodate other Zord Attack Vehicles as armaments. On its own, it is equipped with a Vectorscope, Lateral Controls, and Targeting and Guidance Systems and has a foldout sword in its leg called the Super Saber and a detachable shield on its back with Front Deflectors.
Its finisher (simply dubbed Full Power) involves moving at high speeds towards an enemy with its primary weapon and slashing them similar to the Turbo Megazord's finishing move.
Appearances: RPM Episodes 2-6, 8-11, 14, 16, 19, 21, 26, 28, 30, 31

Zords[]
Eagle Racer[]
See also: Engine Speedor
See also: The Eagle Racer is Scott Truman's Zord Attack Vehicle number 1, a hybrid of a sports car/race car and a eagle/condor. Its exposed engine pipes spout out flames in his Zord's Burst Attack where it is shunted into the air by the other Zords with enough force to obliterate Venjix Drones. It has a flight mode as well in which it uses foldout claws on its undercarriage to crush and carry enemies. The eyes of the Zord are actually Optical Field Scanning Sensors and its engine is the SH-7000; it is also equipped with Front Deflectors of its own. It forms the upper body, arms and head of the High Octane Megazord and upper torso and head of the Zenith and SkyRev Megazords and RPM Ultrazord.

Appearances: RPM Episode 8
High Octane Megazord with Falcon Chopper and Tiger Jet[]

Etymology[]
- With the theme of the series being high-performance vehicles, the name of this Megazord is a reference to high-octane fuel, octanes being the active elements in refined gasoline. Fuels are rated according to the overall concentration of octanes and by extension their ability to reduce engine knocking and pinging when in use. In the US, a fuel with a concentration rating (anti-knock index) above 90 is considered high-octane.
Legendary Ranger Devices[]
The High Octane Megazord Dino Charger.
The High Octane Megazord represents the Ranger Operators for the RPM Dino Charger released as part of Dino Charger Power Pack Series 3 with each charger depicting four pictures. In RPM's case, it featured Ranger Red, Ranger Gold, the High Octane Megazord, and the RPM title. This Charger was paired with the Dino Thunder Dino Charger.
The High Octane Megazord Ninja Power Star.
The High Octane Megazord Ninja Power Star is a special Ninja Power Star that bears the likeness of the High Octane Megazord and is marked with the kanji for "machine". This star is exclusive to the Ninja Steel toyline.
Notes[]
- The Power Rangers CCG game lists the Megazord as the Engine King while the toyline and TV show list it as the High Octane Megazord. Engine King is the English translation of its Super Sentai counterpart's name Engine Gattai Engine-O.
- Scott once referred to the Eagle Racer as just the Eagle Zord.
The High Octane Megazord in Retrofire style.
- Bandai America released their own version as the deluxe version differing in many ways from the show and Bandai Japan release.
- A Retrofire Megazords version was also released aside from all the other RPM Megazords in the new stylized motif. RPM is the only series with more than one Megazord and a complete set at that.
- A Micro Zords version was also released which included a bonus Zord.
