Man, comic Megazords would be sick

Hey Josh, really glad you’re still making videos and I appreciate you putting this one together for us 😀 it gave some cool insight!

I can't believe they didn't surface that backstory about ZAP being a database of the megazords in the grid. If there's one thing I think Hasbro didn't do well (like...at all) with the LC, it was telling the "story" of why you should care about any of the releases if you hadn't seen that season. I don't have any nostalgia for Master of the Universe, but during covid I fell down a MOTU rabbit hole, because Mattel was doing such a good job, thru mini comics and packaging art, communicating who these characters were, and why they were cool. With LC there should have been a giant history lesson, and dramatic roll out anytime they started in on a new team, tantalizing both lapsed fans, and the uninitiated alike, into getting into the series. That ZAP backstory and the numbering, would have been a huge, cool thing to see them get into. With each release an opportunity to tell the story of that particular zord, and why it was so cool.

This was a very fun little insight into how ZAP came to be! A big thanks to Jarrett for making the portfolio page public and to you for sharing it with us! I agree, I don't think it's too likely that ZAP will return when(/if) the rest of the line does, and it's a shame. There was a lot of potential, and I would've loved to have collected a whole suite of Megazords. Perhaps they'll go for something a bit smaller-scale down the line. Something along the lines of Kyoryuzin Full Action Ver. could be good, honestly - keep to the original toy scale and sacrifice functions where needed, to give us a great version focused on articulation for a decent price. At the least, I'll still try to get the ZAP Astro Megazord at some stage, even if I'll be on tenterhooks when transforming it.

So it’s kind of interesting that ZAP would have been the Power Rangers version of transformers legacy, in the fact that portals were sent to different points throughout the history of the franchise, and bringing all these different robots together for one big battle.

The turtle megazord classification would’ve been names after the issue it debuted in. V1=Volume 1, .3=Issue 3

God the many Megazords from the comics that are nigh impossible to make separating Zord toys but would be amazing Z.A.P sized toys would be great and then they wouldn't have the connection issues like the Astro. More of the Zeo Megazord style releases would be great, even though others didn't I loved it and would gladly accept any more especially if they were used to fill out the main Megazords that even if we got 5 ZAP releases a year would be 6+ years due to popularity. I have always wondered if without ZAP we could have had Lightning Collection Megazords because it felt like they made the Monsters bigger so that they fit with a future Megazord rather than the Rangers and that would make sense so you have MOTW Vs. Megazords in the 7" and Main Villain Vs. Ranger in the normal scale.

This is an interesting find.

Glad to be a model for a great design lol, sad that we couldn’t see more megazords this year or so though

Super cool awesomness

😮 wow

Hopefully ZAP comes back one back

S.W.A.T Megazord would've been a great addition.

You keep saying we'll never get things but as long as Hasbro doesn't sell Power Rangers, we'll get stuff. No point in buying a license and paying for the Super Sentai license if they aren't doing anything about it. So rest assure we'll get stuff. But with the sales performance. Future ZAP projects will very likely be HasLabs.

Which Megazord would you like to see in the Z.A.P lineup? 😎👍🙂

All I have ever cared about Power Rangers toy wise, is the zords. Bandai while having horrible paint apps, at least completed lines and, would throw in a non-canon zord or two. Hasbo's lack of zords and, the lameness of the first two ZAP releases, The In Space one was perfect. Just left me feeling empty and, apathetic about the entire franchise.
