Quick Answers

What is the role of Titanus in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? toggle section
Titanus, a giant brachiosaurus Carrierzord, is a key asset in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It acts as the Carrierzord for Dinozords, Ninjazords, and Shogunzords. Jason, a Power Ranger, typically summons Titanus. This Carrierzord is integral to the creation of the Dino Ultrazord, Ninja Ultrazord, Shogun Ultrazord, and Typhonis Ultrazord. Zordon, the mentor of the Rangers, introduced Titanus as an ally that can be summoned when needed.

Overview[]

Titanus served as the Carrierzord for the Dinozords, Ninjazords, and Shogunzords. Titanus would roll through a misty swamp after being summoned. Similar to the Dragonzord, he was autonomous compared to the other piloted Dinozords, largely responding to the Rangers' call to action. When fighting individually, he would usually fire blasts out of his mouth but could move his tail into two shoulder cannons as well. The shoulder cannons were most prominently featured as part of the Ultrazord formations.

  • Sentience: It was heavily implied in "Gung Ho!" when Zordon called him an "old friend." In certain versions of "Doomsday, Part 1," Zordon is heard summoning Titanus to the battlefield himself.
  • Strength: Titanus can ram through a rock wall with one lunge.
  • Durability: Titanus was shot in the neck by a blast from the Dragon Dagger and Power Sword but was unfazed and even the Hate Master's eye blasts had no effect.
  • Mouth Fireballs: Titanus can fire a barrage of orange fireballs from his mouth. Once Jason and Tommy morphed, a single barrage shot them straight off of the cliff that they were climbing.
  • Combination: Titanus' primary power where he serves as a base for the Mega Dragonzord to descend into to form the Dino Ultrazord. He was later upgraded so that he could do the same with the Ninja MegaFalconzord and Shogun MegaFalconzord.

History[]

Tommy and Jason first encountered Titanus when he was guarding the Thunder Slingers they needed to fight the Super Putty Patrollers. He attacked them, forcing the two to outsmart him to claim the weapons. Jason later believed he was a villain, but Zordon calls him a powerful ally and friend, implying the Zord may be sentient. Tvicon TV STORY-Gung Ho!

When the Rangers had trouble defeating the Wheel of Misfortune they called Titanus and the Mega Dragonzord docked into his back to form the Dino Ultrazord for the first time. Tvicon TV STORY-Wheel of Misfortune

During the Rangers' battle with Cyclopsis, Rita caused him to sink underground and the Rangers feared he had been destroyed. However, Zordon was able to retrieve Titanus and re-energize him in time to aid in defeating Cyclopsis and Lokar. Tvicon TV STORY-Doomsday

After Tommy's return as the Green Ranger, Titanus would typically arrive by bursting through a rock face rather than the swamp. Tvicon TV STORY-Return of an Old Friend

When the Rangers got their Thunderzords in Season 2, Titanus did not appear and was replaced by Tor the Shuttlezord. Tvicon TV STORY-A Monster of Global Proportions

In Season 3, Titanus returned and was modified by Alpha to combine with the Ninjazords to form the Ninja Ultrazord. Tvicon TV STORY-Final Face-Off

Titanus was also used to fight against the Hate Master, withstanding his eye blasts and hitting him with a barrage of fireballs. Tvicon TV STORY-Stop the Hate Master

Titanus was last seen combining with the Shogunzords to form the Shogun Ultrazord. Tvicon TV STORY-The Sound of Dischordia

Titanus' current whereabouts are unknown. He was not used by the Aquitar Rangers and Tommy later mentions that the Zords are "gone." Tvicon TV STORY-A Zeo Beginning

Billy makes an offhand comment in "Mondo's Last Stand" about recycling parts of "old Zords"; however it is unclear whether this refers to MMPR-era Zords like Titanus or unused components used to construct the Zeo Zords, which were "old" compared to the newly-acquired Super Zeo Zords.

Formations[]

Dino Ultrazord[]

Blue Glass Arrow See also: Ultimate Daizyujin

The Ultrazord, Mega Ultrazord (Japanese Version), or Dino Ultrazord - the "ultimate battle system" of the Power Rangers, is the combined form of all seven of the Zords the Power Rangers possessed in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

The Dino Ultrazord forms in two ways, either with Mega Dragonzord descending onto the opened hatch behind Titanus, or with the Dino Megazord hitching a ride onto Titanus' back with the Dragonzord forming on top.

To form Dino Ultrazord, many Zord parts come off and switch positions. Titanus' claws clasp onto the Megazord's hands, the Dragonzord's chest piece docks in front of Titanus, Titanus' chest armor comes onto the Megazord's chest, and Titanus' tail splits and reconnects onto its shoulders as cannons (although on TV, it's shown as sliding forward), and the Dragonzord’s tail becomes Titanus’s tail.

The Ultrazord's blasts are centered on the following areas. The Megazord then appears to be harnessing the two new Zords' powers as a finisher weapon.

  • Dragonzord's fingers
  • Titanus' mouth
  • Titanus' shoulder cannons
  • Titanus' chest plate

Appearances: MMPR S1 Episodes 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 36, 39, 40, 50, 52, 57, 59

Ninja Ultrazord[]

When the Ninja MegaFalconzord combines with the original Carrier Zord Titanus, the Ninja Ultrazord is formed. It also appears to use the chestplate and tail of the Dragonzord. It could channel the power of all seven Zords and fire stronger mouth and shoulder blasts. The only enemy it was used against was the Face Stealer.

Appearances: MMPR S3 Episode 14

Shogun Ultrazord[]

When the Shogun MegaFalconzord combines with the Titanus, the Shogun Ultrazord is formed. It also appears to use the chestplate and tail of the Dragonzord. The only enemy it was used against was Dischordia.

Appearances: MMPR S3 Episode 32

Typhonis Ultrazord[]

The Typhonis Ultrazord is a configuration used only in the Boom! Comics by The All-New Power Rangers using Typhonis, Titanus, and Tor the Shuttlezord.

Notes[]

  • The footage of Titanus breaking through rocks and the Dragonzord-last Ultrazord assembly sequence were created for Zyu2. Season 3 appearances of Titanus reused the original Zyuranger footage of the swamp.
  • Both the Ninja and Shogun Ultrazords were formations exclusive to Power Rangers. Kakuranger did not have its own carrier beast like Zyuranger (Titanus) and Dairanger (Tor) did. The Zord was formed by filming the Bandai America toys, which explains why the Shogun Ultrazord and Dischordia never appeared in the same shot, why the White Shogunzord is pink in any shot of the formation, and why the designs on the Shogun Megazord's chest and shoulders were replaced by thunderbolts.
  • The Dragonzord chest piece appeared on the Ninja and Shogun Ultrazords despite the Zord itself not being available to the Rangers at the time. No explanation is given for this. Behind the scenes, SFX artist Rick Shick had said that he was simply told to glue the piece on and was not aware it came from the Dragonzord.[1]
    • Titanus was released again under the name "The Return of Titanus". This new release included the Dragonzord chest piece in the box, but in order to cut costs, the chest piece had no electrical lights like the Deluxe Dragonzord did. Therefore, the Ninja or Shogun Ultrazords could be assembled using either "The Return of Titanus" Deluxe toy or season 1 Titanus and Dragonzord Deluxe toys.[1]
  • Titanus and Tor are the only Zords in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that have no discernible cockpit, making them the only Zords in the first three seasons that cannot be piloted directly.
  • In the Japanese dub, the Ultrazord was named the Mega Ultrazord, while the Ultrazord was the name given to the Mega Dragonzord in the dub.
