Zords in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zords used during Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy were in fact sentient creatures called Galactabeasts. The "sentient creature" idea had been used frequently in Super Sentai, but this was its first proper use in a Power Rangers series.

[edit] Galactabeasts
The Galactabeasts are giant animals that can be communicated with by the Galaxy Rangers, and after drawing energy from the Transdaggers, they can become metallic Galactazords and merge into the Galaxy Megazord. The Galactabeasts are:
- The Lion Galactabeast/zord, piloted by Red Ranger, Leo Corbett (Danny Slavin). Element is fire.
- The Condor Galactabeast/zord, piloted by Green Ranger, Damon Henderson (Reggie Rolle). Element is wind.
- The Gorilla Galactabeast/zord, piloted by Blue Ranger, Kai Chen (Archie Kao). Element is water.
- The Wildcat Galactabeast/zord,piloted by Pink Ranger, Kendrix Morgan (Valerie Vernon). and Karone (Melody Perkins). Element is nature.
The Galactabeasts currently reside on Mirinoi, but briefly left to help battle Trakeena.
[edit] Galaxy Megazord
The main Megazord of Lost Galaxy, the Galaxy Megazord is the combined form of all the Galactabeasts. The Wildcat and Wolf formed the arms, the Gorilla formed the waist and legs, the Condor attached the Megazord's back and served as a weapon, and the Lion formed the torso and head. The Galaxy Megazord can gain enhanced power from the Lights of Orion called the Orion Galaxy Megazord, and also possesses the sentience of the Galactabeasts that form it. Its main weapon is the Galaxy Megazord Saber, but it can also fire a missile using the Condor Galactazord in Missile Mode.
[edit] Torozord
The personal Zord of the Magna Defender, the Torozord is rather like a Galactabeast.(Make note that when the Galactabeasts came in contact with the Lost Galactabeasts it would also not fight, leaving the suggestion that it is a Galactabeast. But then it is not pictured in the galaxy book along with the other Galactabeasts.) The Torozord is a bull that is loyal to the Magna Defender but does not always go along with his rather brutal methods. Torozord can make Magna Defender grow to giant size called the Mega Defender, and either serves as his steed or merges with him to become Defender Torozord. Defender Torozord is a Megazord with powerful slashing attacks, armed with both a lance, or with the large Defender Axe. The Torozord was destroyed when Mike, the second Magna Defender, used it to hold open the portal Terra Venture used to escape the Lost Galaxy. The force of the portal was too strong and the zord was destroyed.
Torozord is the first "talking" zord. On a few occasions, the Torozord is shown on screen and Mike's voice is heard emanating from it, unlike with the original Magna Defender who did not speak when he was in this form. (Usually, the screen switches to the cockpit whenever the Rangers talk.) The first true talking zord, however, would be Animus in 2002's Power Rangers: Wild Force. The Defender Torozord is also the very first Megazord in which a Ranger becomes a giant and then combines with it. This would be repeated once again in Power Rangers: Mystic Force with the Centaurus Wolf Megazord, Centaurus Phoenix Megazord, and Phoenix Unizord.
[edit] The Lost Galactabeasts
The Rhino, Phoenix, and Shark Galactabeasts were involved in a terrible battle 3,000 years prior to the launch of Terra Venture that left them dormant for all that time. They were found by Deviot and rebuilt into Zords to use against the Lost Galaxy Rangers. However, when the Rangers discovered the true identities of the zords, they were able to make them remember who they were and thus, the Galactabeasts joined their side.
[edit] Centaurus Megazord
The Rhino Galactabeast was turned into the Centaurus Megazord and comprised five smaller red automobile-like Zords C1 through C5. The Megazord was armed with a powerful blaster cannon. It was later destroyed after being covered in bomb-equipped Sting Wingers.
[edit] Stratoforce Megazord
The Phoenix Galactabeast was turned into the Stratoforce Megazord and comprised five smaller blue airplane-like Zords S1 through S5. With its boomerang weapon, it aided the Rangers in many battles. On one occasion, it used the Centaurus Megazord's blaster (The Chameliac Warrior). However, it was destroyed when it became enveloped in a swarm of bomb equipped Sting Wingers during Trakeena's final assault on Terra Venture.
[edit] Zenith Carrierzord
The rebuilt Shark Galactabeast was turned into the Zenith Carrierzord that carried the C1 through C5 and S1 through S5 Zords. Zenith attacks with a pair of large beam cannons. However, it only participated in battle twice and never took a hit in either cases. Zenith was last seen in Terra Venture. It's unknown if it had been destroyed along with the colony or evacuated to Mirinoi.
