Okay, here's the comparison shots... ![]()  Now even the key was the Green Ranger Key. To me Q-Rex 2 should have been named Dragonzord in honour of the original. Not Q-Rex. What do you think? |

No reason to name it dragonzord. Plus with the anniversary element of mega force made sense it would be similar name to zord it was similar to.

Why not just rename if the Q-Rex Zord Mk-II? The original Q-Rex Zord coukd be named, "Mk-I" and the Super Megaforce version should be named, "Mk-II".

I have to agree with you on the naming, xman.  |

I don't see the harm with name it had. Zord did come from tf future right. And it was like q Rex no reason it needed a different name. Creative wise we know they have been pretty dam lazy with naming of x stuff.

If they would name it the Time Force Tyrannosaurus, it wouldn't be hit and miss. The Dinozorods were converted to Thunderzords in MMPR S2, so naming it something like that would give a direct homage to Mighty Morphin. We had a Megazord Tank Mode, Megazord Warrior Mode, MegaDragonzord and Dragonzord in Battle Mode in S1 and Red Dragon Thunderzrod and Tigerzord each had a Warrior Mode in S2 and could combine with the rest of the Zords from their respective groups into various battle modes, including Ultrazord formations. Goujyujin had three forms: its drill mode with cannons, it's Dino-like mode and its Megazord mode. So if they would name it the Time Force Tyrannosaurus (or something similar), they would be actually doing homages to 4 seasons: MMPR S1, MMPR S2, Time Force and DinoThunder. MMPR S3 was covered with the usage of the MMAR suits in Gokaiger footage.
By naming the Zord Q-Rex they missed a huge opportunity to give a handful of tributes in just 1 episode WITHOUT having to get the cast members from those seasons to appear or just have the SM Rangers use the powers of those teams on-screen. This way, Orion's Zord is basically a Zord that happens to be made by Time Force and can access the Legendary powers of MMPR, Time Force and DinoThunder. Which is exactly what Gokaiger did.
