If not, and we&#8217;re baffling you, then here&#8217;s a quick refresher: when their powers aren&#8217;t enough, they&#8217;ll call on a giant robotic guardian controlled by themselves to fight against whoever&#8217;s doing them damage.<\/p>\n<p>In their first incarnation, the Zords take the form of the Mastodon (Black Ranger), Pterodactyl (Pink Ranger), Triceratops (Blue Ranger), Sabre-toothed Tiger (Yellow Ranger) and the Tyrannosaurus (Red Ranger). If this still isn&#8217;t enough, then they combine together to form (the sequence for which will likely compose much of the film&#8217;s budget) the Megazord, which is exactly as awesome as it sounds.<\/p>\n<p>The forms of the Zords changed as the series progressed and changed names (at one point we&#8217;re pretty sure the Zords were all humanoids, which was a bit naff, frankly), but judging by the posters, it looks like they&#8217;ll take the forms of the Zords seen in the Rangers&#8217; initial form, so it&#8217;s nice to see a bit of fidelity to the source material.<\/p>\n<p>Controlling said Zords will be main cast members Naomi Scott, Becky G, RJ Cyler, Ludi Lin and Dacre Montgomery, with Elizabeth Banks playing Rita and Bryan Cranston as Zordon.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Power Rangers<\/em> will be released in cinemas on 24 March 2017.
