Description

The Dino Charge Megazord is the primary Megazord of the US series Power Rangers Dino Charge (2015) and its follow-up Dino Super Charge (2016), Saban's adaptation of the Japanese show Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (2013). In Japan the robot is known as Kyoryuzin and is assembled from the Zyudenryu, the dinosaur mecha called "Dino Charge Zords" in the US version. Its standard combination uses Kyoryu Red's Gabutyra (T-Rex Zord) as the body, with Kyoryu Blue's Stegotchi (Stego Zord) and Kyoryu Pink's Dricera (Tricera Zord) as the arms. The piece described here is not a form seen on screen but the "Gold Edition," a fully gold-colored special paint variant of the regular Megazord toy.

Combination mechanics: in the show the units merge via the "Kamitsuki Gattai" (Chomping Combination) — Gabutyra bites the partner zords' Zyudenchi (Dino Chargers in the US release) to fuse their energy with its own. The T-Rex forms the torso with its head sitting prominently on the right shoulder, while the two supporting zords become the arms. Because the arms attach through a plug-in port system, several formations can be built; the default is the "Tri-Stego" formation with the Tricera Zord as the left arm and the Stego Zord as the right.

The DX toy: the base product is the Dino Charge Megazord issued by Bandai America under its "ZordBuilder" line (released spring 2015). It is made predominantly of plastic with no significant die-cast content and reproduces the bite-and-plug combination gimmick of the source material. The Gold Edition was never sold at retail: Bandai America handed it out around 2015 solely as the prize of a mail-in sweepstakes (submit a flyer to enter), and by common account only about twenty units exist. One example sold on eBay in 2016 for roughly US$3,000, making the variant one of the rarest and most expensive Power Rangers toys ever. It is therefore a pure collector/contest exclusive with no added play function over the retail version.
