Zords in Power Rangers in Space

The Zords used in the television series "Power Rangers in Space" are mostly spacecraft themed. They are kept either in orbit around Earth or in a special hangar on Jupiter's moon Ganymede most of the time.

Astro Megaship

In "Power Rangers in Space", the Rangers didn't initially have individual Zords. Instead, the Astro Megaship, which the Rangers used to travel through space, transformed into their primary Megazord. It could only do this with the addition of the NASADA Space Shuttle/Astro Megashuttle that the Turbo Rangers brought with them from Earth and a black box of Zordon's that Alpha 6 decoded. The Megaship was armed with the Mega Lasers, which could be used to fire on Velicofighters.

The ship had an onboard computer named D.E.C.A. that communicated with the Rangers about the ship's functionality. It spoke with a woman's voice (voiced by Julie Maddalena).

Some time before the events of "", the Astro Megaship was retrofitted into a museum before it was hijacked by Kai Chen, the future Blue Galaxy Ranger, to chase after Kendrix Morgan and Mike and Leo Corbett. It was used as the Rangers' transport throughout the season, and seen in battle once more as the Astro Megazord when the Space Rangers teamed up with the Galaxy Rangers to fight the restored Psycho Pink.

When Terra Venture came under attack by Trakeena's forces and crash landed on a nearby moon, the Rangers used the Astro Megaship in an attempt to distract Trakeena's ship, the Scorpion Stinger, from interfering with the evacuation of Terra Venture. The Rangers, having no other choice, self-destructed the Astro Megaship when it was caught in a pincer by the Scorpion Stinger.

Sometime later, during the episode "Forever Red," a newer Astro Megaship was revealed, having been built on the shipyards of KO-35, and was the transport for the ten Red Rangers to the moon for their mission to defeat the remnant of the Machine Empire. The "Astro Megaship Mark II", as it was called, was effectively a faster version of the original ship. The "Mark II" was staffed by a robot Alpha 7, who effectively was the personality of Alpha 5 in a body made up of pieces of both Alpha 5 and Alpha 6. However, whether the "Mark II" had its own version of D.E.C.A. or whether it could have transformed into a new Astro Megazord was not explored further.

The Astro Megaship is also the first command center that becomes a Megazord this would be repeated again in ' with the Delta Base becoming the Delta Command Megazord. It is also the first traveling command center along with the Mega Tank, this would also be repeated again in ' with the Mobile Command Center, "" with the Triceramax Command Center Truck, and "S.P.D." with the Delta Command Crawler which is transformed from the Delta Base and transforms into the Delta Command Megazord.

Astro Megazord

The Astro Megazord was the first Megazord in franchise history to be comprised of only two separate components. The zord armed with the Astro Megazord Saber, the Astro Megazord Shield and the Astro Megazord Blaster. The Saber had multiple uses. First, it could be charged with energy and be used to deliver any number of powered-up slashes to the enemy. Also, it could unleash a Laser Whip to tie up its opponents, and when sent into any monster, it could be ignited with energy to obliterate the monster.

Delta Megaship

In the ongoing quest to find Zordon, the Phantom Ranger gives the Space Rangers a hand when he is incapacitated after almost saving Zordon. The Delta Megaship, like the Astro Megaship, is a ship capable of faster than light travel.

Delta Megazord

The Delta Megaship can transform into the Delta Megazord and change its hands into Gyro-Blasters, or combine with the Astro Megazord to become the Astro Delta Megazord. The Delta Megazord was destroyed in battle with Red Eclipter.

Astro Delta Megazord

The Astro and Delta Megazords could combine to form the Astro Delta Megazord. In this mode, its main weapons were the cannons of the Delta Megazord, mounted on the shoulders. It could also launch its fists for devastating missile attacks. This was called the Flying Power Punch as a finishing move.

The Astro Delta Megazord is the first three-piece Megazord. This would be repeated in ' with the Predazord, in ' with the Storm Megazord, and again in ' with the Thundersaurus Megazord. It would again happen in ' with the FlashPoint Megazord and in "" with the Jungle Pride and Jungle Master Megazords.

Mega Vehicles

The Mega Vehicles are the five individual Zords that were found by the Rangers using Zordon's key cards. The Mega Vehicles can be considered as the primary Zords of the Space Rangers. Each one has a different form, and is assigned to a different Ranger.

Mega V1

Mega V1 ("Robo Voyager") Piloted by the Red Space Ranger Andros, it is a humanoid robot that can fire missiles from its shoulders.

Mega V2

Mega V2 ("Shuttle Voyager") Piloted by Black Space Ranger Carlos Vallertes, it is a space shuttle-like vehicle that could fire lasers from its wings.

Mega V3

Mega V3 ("Rocket Voyager") Piloted by the Blue Space Ranger T.J. Johnson, it is a large rocketship-like vehicle.

Mega V4

Mega V4 ("Saucer Voyager") Piloted by the Yellow Space Ranger Ashley Hammond, it is a flying saucer-like vehicle that can fire lasers from the wingtips.

Mega V5

Mega V5 ("Tank Voyager") Piloted by the Pink Space Ranger Cassie Chan, it was a tank with two top-mounted cannons.

Mega Voyager

After Andros (incognito, before Darkonda found him out) wins Zordon's Key Cards in a card game with Darkonda and others on Onyx, the Space Rangers locate the Mega Voyager hidden on Ganymede. Made up of a combination of five vehicles: Mega V1 formed the thighs and lower torso. V2 formed the shield and head. V3 formed the legs, upper torso, and the primary weapon. V4 formed the arms and chestplate. And V5 formed the feet. The Mega Voyager is thus far the only Megazord combination without the term 'Zord' in its name (It is also, with the Mega Winger, the only Megazords so far that share names with their original Sentai counterparts). Aside from the Mega V3 Missile Mode, it could also wield the Astro Megazord Saber, and was equipped with a set of four laser cannons on its chest-plating called the Mega Laser. On one occasion, (the Psycho Rangers), Psycho Yellow took control of it by teleporting herself into the Mega Voyager's circuitry. It was badly damaged by Red Ecliptor, and shortly after destroyed in battle by Tankenstein.

Mega Winger

Personal Zord of the Silver Ranger, Zhane, and a gift from the rebels on KO-35, the Mega Winger could change from spaceship to warrior mode in phenomenal speed, and was armed with the Wing Blaster. The Mega Winger was badly damaged in "Countdown to Destruction" and Zhane later reveals that it had been destroyed.

Winged Mega Voyager

The Mega Voyager can combine with the Mega Winger's wings to become the Winged Mega Voyager for flight conditions. They deliver a devastating flying rocket attack.
