One of the most underrated guests from this year’s Power Morphicon was Tsuyoshi Nonaka, the man behind numerous designs and mechas from Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Power Rangers, and the creator of the Soul of Chogokin series of figures targeted to adult collectors. Tsuyoshi Nonaka was in attendance at this year’s Power Morphicon and brought with him a custom rebuild of the classic Power Rangers Zeo Pyramidas, which was the carrier zord of the Gold Ranger (or if you prefer, the Kingranger‘s mecha King Pyramidder).
Check out these images of the BEAUTIFUL custom by clicking the story title. Join in the discussion and share your thoughts! Don’t you think it’s time the Power Rangers community got some of the same amazing customizers that frequent the Transformers fandom?

Why can't these be real things to buy?
The light at the center was flashing, btw
Gorgeous! It's a shame there are no transformed pics here, but it does give one a different impression on what was once, in essence, a brick. This thing has enough possibility to warrant calling it a battlezord! The Zeo Ultrazord (or King Pyramidder Battle Formation) was just a mammoth with firepower, while this thing can give it where it hurts. What if Wolfbane (or Bara Goblin) had to fight this instead? Did/Will Nonaka do anything else? Why just Pyramidas?
Beautiful. It would be cool if he had the rest of the Zeo zords to go with it. I'd really like to see what he could do with the Super Zeo Megazord.
2018 legasy pyramidas? Maybe? I know im not only one who would by one.
Oh man, that's gorgeous. I've always loved Pyramidas as a design. Actually built my own out of Legos when I was younger.
DO IT, BANDAI!!!!!!
It's not like Transformers where I can take any random figure that turns into a car and, with enough creativity, turn it into another character that's also a car. Zords are pretty cut-and-dry, each being so unique that it really limits their potential to be used as anything else. Of course, you can always create your own interpretation using figures and materials from different lines, but that's an even bigger challenge.
I would like to see more people tackling the articulation of the old 6 inch "Action Zord" figures. They're fun to work with and there's one for almost every megazord. It also frees the artist to be a little bit more imaginative when they don't have to worry about combining and gimmicks.
As far as customizing the individual Rangers? No clue. Maybe it's because no one wants to touch the roided out BOA figs? I have seen some cool interpretations of rangers using figures from other toy lines.
this figure just doesn't fit with the power rangers.. there's too much articulation lol.. but seriously, this looks great, and just reminds me that this franchise has been around for so long yet the zords haven't progressed at all when it comes to articulation. i mean.. voltron has been posable for a while now, you'd think they'd recognize the play value in movable joints.
