This article is about a Megazord and its components in Power Rangers Wild Force. |
Predazord is the third megazord combined from the Dark Wild Zords by Zen-Aku. They were later redeemed and used by the Lunar Wolf Ranger. During the final battle with Master Org they were destroyed along with the Rangers' other Wild Zords and Animus, but were revived and joined forces with all Wild Zords to destroy him.
Design
Dark
When then Predazord was controlled by Zen-Aku, the wolf helmet over the head was closed and had a org horn coming out of it. The Alligator's head points downard and it's front legs go behind it while it's back legs extend to form the legs or the Predazord. The Wolf's tail goes on top of the Alligator head and the Wolf itself forms the left arm. The Hammerhead forms the right arm and uses the tail of the Alligator and itself as a staff called the Gator Staff. It is able to use the crescent blade that sits on the top of the alligator head as a boomerang attack called Crescent Boomerang. The Dark Predazord used a finisher move called Predator Wave that involve the mouth of the Alligator Zord opened and blast the enemies with a stream of white energy similar in way of the Mega Roar of the Wild Force Megazord.
Light
After Merrick is freed of Zen-Aku's curse and becomes the Lunar Wolf Ranger, the Predazord gains a new face. When Merrick, as himself, summons Predazord for the first time, he uses his Lunar Cue to shoot his Animal Crystals—the Wolf, the Hammerhead, and the Alligator—off his Laser Pool Table and into the sky. There is an explosion as the Animal Crystals dance around the sky, and appear in three points of light on an eclipsed sun. The Predazord's "good" face resembles a valiant warrior, but still retains its previous "Dark" form regarding its transformation. Merrick introduces a new attack for the Predazord during this arc, calling it "Revolver Phantom". With this he attaches the Hammerhead Shark's tail to the Predazord's right arm and uses it as a drill. It still retains the ability to use the Gator Staff, Crescent Boomerang, and the Predator Wave.
Modes
Dark
Most of the time when Zen-Aku fought the Rangers with Predazord, he mainly used the same Modes the Rangers usually used with the Wild Force Megazord after he captured four of the Auxiliary Zords, except for Sword & Shield Mode.
Spear
The Giraffe Zord replaces the Hammerhead Shark Zord as an arm.
Double Knuckle
The Wolf and Hammerhead Shark Zords are replaced by the Black and Polar Bear Zords.
Light
The Predazord rarely changed modes after the defeat of Zen-Aku.
Blue Moon
During the time when Merrick worked with the other Rangers, his Predazord had gained a new form while fighting alongside Animus. Even though the other Rangers had lost contact with their Zords, they did not lose their connection to them. They used that connection and joined their powers with Predazord, turning it into Predazord Blue Moon. In this mode, the Predazord's eyes turn green, and the Alligator Zord's main chest armor is blue.
Notes
- The Predazord is the first Megazord in Power Rangers history that is comprised of 3 Zords, but using only one pilot. This process would be repeated again in Power Rangers Operation Overdrive with Tyzonn and his Rescue Runners forming the Flash Point Megazord.
- The Wild Force Predazord is the first Megazord in Power Rangers history to only have 3 components. This process would be repeated in Power Rangers Ninja Storm with the Storm Megazord, Power Rangers Dino Thunder, with the Thundersaurus Megazord, Power Rangers Jungle Fury, with Jungle Pride and Jungle Master Megazord and Power Rangers RPM, with the High Octane, ValveMax, Mach and Paleomax Megazords.
- The Predazord is one of only three Megazords-the other two being Power Rangers Lost Galaxy's Stratoforce Megazord and Centaurus Megazord-to undergo an actual physical change after being evil and being redeemed to good. All three Megazords started out as good but were corrupted by villainous forces (Deviot and the power of Zen-Aku) and were later returned to light by the efforts of other Power Rangers.
- In Power Rangers RPM, it should be noted that the Green and Black Rangers pilot the ValveMax Megazord, transformation process in turn is designed in almost the same way as the Predazord, with a crocodile forming the main body, legs and head, and a wolf and shark forming its arms.
