What if the Ranger colors didn't match the colors of the main Zords?

[Andros 1337]

I was wondering, would you like to see a season where the Ranger colors don't match the colors of the main Zords? After all, in Voltron, the uniform colors did not match the colors of the Lions. Keith wore a red uniform but piloted Black Lion, Lance wore a blue uniform but piloted Red Lion, Hunk wore an orange uniform but piloted Yellow Lion, and Allura wore a pink uniform but piloted Blue Lion. Only Pidge wore the same color (green) as his lion.

So, perhaps would you like to see a Power Rangers season where the Ranger colors don't match the colors of the main Zords?

Well, signs of that are already present.

Zack and Adam, for example, controlled a green zord from Dairanger.

I suppose you could say Kim controlled a white zord from Kakuranger too.

Problem with these examples is that the Lion Thunderzord DID have black on it, and the Crane Ninjazord had pink in it.


But you could count auxiliary zords from Wildforce.

Max controlled an orange zord.
Danny controlled a purple zord (I think).
Taylor controlled a white and black zord.
Merrick controlled a green and purple zord.
Cole controlled a green zord.
Alyssa controlled a green zord.

Andros kind of controlled the Delta Megazord, which was black, not red.

Dillon and Ziggy will be controlling an orange zord.

These are just examples.

And let's not forget the auxillory zords in OO (aside from the Jet zord that is red anyways).

Ah yeah! Those too!

The zord system for Operation Overdrive was almost the same for Wildforce actually, only one was vehicles while the others were animals.

[Green Elephant]

As long as the FIRST Zord per Ranger is the correct color, it doesn't matter.

BTW, I count Orange the same as Yellow and Purple the same as Pink when it comes to mecha.

How? They're completely different colours.

Thay'll be like considering gold the same as green, silver the same as red, or white the same as blue.

[Green Elephant]

When counting up the Zords by mass, I find it easier to just put everything under the seven major umbrellas: Red (Crimson), Blue (Navy and Cyan), Yellow (Gold and Orange), Black (Brown), Green (Turquoise), White (Silver), Pink (purple)

Did you know that Blue outweighs Red?

You know that only because the black suit guy was kileld in the primere and everyone got moved up a lion while Alura dushed off her princess colors to fill in.

Don't forget about Kim, her Dinozord was more red and white than pink. I think there was like one little stripe of pink on the head of the zord.

Also the Astro Megazord was all blue and grey with a red M on it, so technically nobodies color was really REPRESENTED on it, unless you counted those colors for TJ and Andros.

[Question]

What's the point of color coding them if their stuff isn't color coded too?

[Turbo_Red]

To tell them apart silly. The Ninja Turtles are color coded, but not every piece of they're equipment is. Kids are apparently stupid though so I guess producers of kid's programs do all kinds of weird things, so a straight answer on that kind of question is next to impossible.

Not if you're reading the original comic, which is the very best incarnation.

but not every piece of they're equipment is.

Maybe not in whichever cartoon you're talking about, but they have been.

True on both counts. But in the 80's cartoon, while not the Turtles at their best, it's them at their most popular (along with the movies) where the weapons were not color coded. In fact that cartoon is the reason why they are now color coded in every encarnation they appear in. The reason it was done in the first place (80's cartoon) was to tell them apart and make them unique. Didn't extend to weapons so much.

and yet in the current incarnation only the mask and weapons are color coded, the knee/elbow guards are brown and they change the tones of everyone skin to different shades of green

[Turbo_Red]

Yeah, I'm not sure if that's a tossup to the movies or not, where only the masks were color coded and the Turtles looked different in their color shades and other little physical differences. I personally like the designs from the second movie the best, possibly from the 2003 series in that top spot as well.

[Andros 1337]

As for the Voltron Force, I actually preferred them wearing their original colors rather than the colors matching the lions in Voltron: The Third Dimension. After all, Keith was the leader, so he deserved to wear red. Black seemed to clash with his personality.

So, what if instead of the uniforms matching the color of the lions, the reverse (colors of the lions modeled after the uniforms) was true instead? I think Voltron would look strange with a red body and a black leg, so I don't think that would have been a good idea. Also, remember that Sven was injured after several episodes, and Allura took his place. If the lions matched the colors of the uniforms, would Allura repaint the Black Lion to the Pink Lion? As strange Voltron would look with a red body and a black leg, a red body and a pink leg would look even more strange.

Also Scott will be controlling a black?/orange?/white zord (the ancient engines).

[Green Elephant]

The ancient engines are red (Crimson), white and blue (Cyan)

Call it the PaleoPatrio Megazord lol
