One of the most debated items from this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2014 was the individual zords that make up the Power Rangers Dino Charge Megazord. As you may recall, the triceratops belonging to the Pink Ranger was colored purple, and the statement made to us was that a pink colored component on a toy targeted to boys wouldn’t sell. Thanks to ODot92 from RangerCrew.com, we learned that Bandai of America had changed their tune due to fan outrage and had decided to color it pink instead. As Power Morphicon went forward, Bandai of America changed their reasoning, saying that the triceratops was simply colored wrong from the manufacturer and was always meant to be pink. To showcase their change, it was purposely put at the front and middle of their display as every attendee walked in to the convention floor. What is the truth in the story? Who knows and frankly who cares – we have a pink triceratops again and that is all that matters!
Now, Bandai of America uses the Zord Builder feature on all their zords. That poses a slight problem with the Japanese counterpart from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, which relies on the batteries to make the actual connection to the other zords. With that in mind, we asked Bandai of America what purpose the Chargers will have in the toy line since they will be sticking with the Zord Builder combination feature.
For starters, each zord will have a feature to be unlocked by using the charger. The Red Ranger‘s zord will have the “spike hairs” pop up, the Blue Ranger‘s zord will have the spikes on the back of the body stand up, and the Pink Ranger‘s zord will have the drill pop out from the tail. At this time, there are no plans to have the Chargers unlock sound in the Megazord.
Once again, if this is a deal breaker for you, we suggest importing the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger version of this figure now before prices go up as they always tend to do when the Power Rangers version comes out. But please check out 40 images of the Power Rangers Dino Charge Megazord. We tried to get as many different angles of the combined form for you so you can make your own judgement on this upcoming figure. Please join our discussion thread and share your thoughts!

What are your thoughts?
Thank you for this detailed look at the Megazord. If they're going Zordbuilder for everything, does that mean Blue and Pink connect to the Red using Zordbuilder ports, too? So do they have gaping mouths to receive batteries? Just trying to clarify after reading the information.
Still getting this even though I have Kyoryujin already
It should also be mentioned that the Pink Triceratops at PMC isn't a new painted prototype either, but is in fact the same actual figure that was on display at SDCC. They just took the purple one and physically painted it pink for this con
Looks surprisingly nice~
I think ill get the BOA one I think it looks good. If the chagers dont unluck sounds the ill stick with gettig koryuger for the role play.
I don't care about not being able to insert the batteries to make the combinaton. I'm just happy Tricera is the proper pink instead of that godaweful Flinstones Chewables purple they originally wanted.
Still not my thing, but I'm impressed with how faithful it is to the original, even with Zord Builder included. Nicely done, Bandai.
Looking good. Time for me to move some stuff to make room for him.
