@ Bob's description. It's funny 'cos it's true.

And good stuff finding the Dragonzord. That was one of my favourites... damn, I can't remember all those different zords... gotta think back.

[Bobboau]

the one thing I always wondered was, why were there five diferent robots? they never used them in seperate forms, why didn't they just have one huge one and save them selves the time of puting it together every week?

it conforms to the rules of tokusatsu. big industry in japan, I believe.

plus, there are five of them, so they should have an ugly mecha each, shouldn't they? carls model, on the other hand, is awesome.

I think they fought seperately a few times. I remember the Dino wrestling iwth a monster while the yellow tiger an dhte triceratops shot lasers. Mastadon had freezer guns.

[Carl]

they fought seperately sometimes. but the main reason there were seperate ones was so they could make different combinations.

[Rictor]

what, like a leg? and the leg could kick someone? Or an arm, which I suppose would just hover there or something?

I remember the original, before it became like Power Rangers Super Ninja Time Attack Battle Squad. Good times...good times.

in space.

[Knight Templar]

The first space one was actually pretty cool.

[Corsair]

I think I remember the zords fighting alone in a movie once...when they used this megazord.


Remember the movie where they lost their powers and became ninjas for a little while to regain their zords? Yeah. That movie. The one that started with them going skydiving.

Oh...the good old days.

[Carl]

the movie. blah. sure it had a bigger budget, but it was full of plot holes, inconsistences, and bad writing.

[Knight Templar]

I still have the movie.

It would obviously turn into something else than usual.

[Knight Templar]

Like a gun.

I'll never forgive Power Rangers, though, for so unashamedly stealing the idea from Voltron. Damn man, I've still got my Voltron action toys somewhere in the cupboard.

[Carl]

more like the other way around, Steak. Power rangers uses footage from a japanese series called Sentai, which has been around since 1975. Voltron, on the other hand, uses footage from a series called GoLion, which started in 1981.

*drool*

I used to love power rangers, and every so often, the conversation just seems to pop up. I still kinda love it because its so fun to bash, seeing as there are so many corny things you can make fun of.

At Bob's screenplay of just about every-episode-in-one, ROFLMFAO...

It also seems you guys forgot about each individual weapon that the power rangers had. It's not like they ALWAYS bust out the megazord. Red had his sword, yellow her knives, blue his big staff/lance/stabby thingy, pink her bow, black his axe/gun thing, green is knife/flute, and white his annoying bastard talking sword. Then they combined it all into this fatass crossbow thing to shoot rainbow lightning and kill the enemy. Schweet...

And then you know there was the kickass Titanus who combined with them to make the Ultrazord...

I could talk forever, but I'll spare you guys on this. Next model should be DRAGONZORD.

(No, I'm not some freak and nor did recall all these memories. I went and did some research )

[Carl]

i actually started on the dragonzord about a year before this one, but then the computer i was using died, so it's sitting half finished on the HD right now.

Dude, damn. My entire worldview has been shattered.

Huh, no. Sentai is the name of the genre, not the name of a series, for exemple, Bioman is a sentai. Power Rangers, well, for me, that's a US sentai.
Afaik, Power Rangers doesn't use any footage from a japanese series, too.

Well, it is more of a series than a genre. they only make one per season, only one company produces them, and though the plots don't link together, they all exist in the same universe, as they have crossover movies and the like.

uhh...yeah, yeah it does. about half of the footage of every show is imported from the sentai series from the year before.
