- "PaleoMax Megazord!"
- ―Scott Truman
The PaleoMax Megazord is Scott Truman's personal prehistoric-themed/Final Megazord of the Four Megazord Combinations.
Overview[]
The PaleoMax is formed when the Zord reconfigures from its standard formation. The Mammoth car serves as the torso, arms, and head and the T-Rex and Triceratops cars serve as the right and left legs. The PaleoMax is extremely powerful and has the ability to shoot out a gust of air from the Mammoth car's nose on its chest to blow away enemies. The Megazord's finisher involves pumping the gears on its arms before spraying mist from the Mammoth nose and delivering a karate chop of red energy.
Appearances: RPM Episodes 24-26, 28, 31
History[]
The Paleozord was built by Doctor K at Alphabet Soup and one of her earliest creations alongside Venjix. Due to being based on extinct creatures such as dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, the separate Zord Attack Vehicles comprising it could not sync up properly with the Bio-Field and were never supposed to see the light of day alongside the equally-uncontrollable Turbo Falcon Zord.
After being awakened in the Sulfred Mountain range of Corinth, it ran wild, forcing Doctor K to reprogram it while on the run; when Colonel Mason Truman discovers this, he allows her to finish the modifications, allowing Scott to control it.
However, it was deleted by the Venjix Virus along with Gem, Gemma, and the Mach Megazord, though Gem and Gemma were brought back by Doctor K along with their personal Zords. It's unknown if the Whale Jumbo Jet and the Paleozords were brought back as well.
Paleozords[]
The Paleozord has Receptors and a Cellular Microprocessor which Doctor K later expands and installs with a newer Biorhythmic Stabilizer. The first car can blow steam from its nose or a Deep Freeze cold enough to stop opponents in their tracks; the last two cars can detach to grab enemies and swing about to knock them over.
Paleozord 1[]
Paleozord 1 is a hybrid of a wooly mammoth and a steam locomotive. It is split into two items when in storage, and the number 10 Engine Cell. It forms PaleoMax Megazord's torso, head, & arms, and RPM Ultrazord's lower legs, hip armor, backpack top, & helmet horns. It forms the first and front car in the Paleozords.
Appearances: RPM Episodes 24-26, 28, 31
Paleozord 2[]
Paleozord 2 is a hybrid of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a freight liner. It is split into two items when in storage, and the number 11 Engine Cell. It serves as PaleoMax Megazord's right leg and RPM Ultrazord's right arm. It forms the second and middle car in the Paleozords.

Paleozord 3[]
Paleozord 3 is a hybrid of a Triceratops and a freight liner. It is split into two items when in storage, and the number 12 Engine Cell. It serves PaleoMax Megazord's left leg and RPM Ultrazord's left arm. It forms the third and last car of the Paleozords.
Appearances: RPM Episodes 24-26, 28, 31
Additional Formations[]
RPM Ultrazord[]
See also: Engine-O G12
See also: The RPM Ultrazord is the combination of the High Octane, ValveMax and Mach Megazords or all 12 Zord Attack Vehicles. The PaleoMax Megazord's chest parts attach to the SkyRev Megazord and the tusks of the Mammoth car adhere to the back of the SkyRev's head creating a bigger helmet. The PaleoMax's body splits in two, attaching as leg pieces between the High Octane Megazord's legs and Croc Carrier halves. The Tail Spinner and Wolf Cruiser are then stored inside these pieces allowing the other two Paleozords cars to attach as arms in their place. Also, the Lion Hauler gains face armor while the helmet used for the Skyrev Megazord attaches on top.
The formation is amazingly strong, being able to send the Generation 16 Hyper Bot flying just by kicking and could use the Road Attack Zord's Burnout as well. It stands at a remarkable 93 meters making it taller than any Attack Bot and one of the largest Megazord combinations. Despite its incredible power it was only used three times in the series.
The finisher for this Megazord differs vastly depending on when it's used. During its first usage in "Beyond a Doubt", it summoned projections of the High Octane Megazord, ValveMax Megazord, Mach Megazord, and PaleoMax Megazord to energy slash the enemy before charging itself with fire in the process, before ramming through the enemy with immense force. However, for all of the other uses, its finisher consisted simply of the energized ram without the projections.
Appearances: RPM Episodes 26-28
Notes[]
- Power Rangers refers to the Zord as singular when it appeared, unlike its original Sentai counterpart where the train cars are all named individually; these Zords are just referred to as the Paleozords. In addition, three Rangers who do not appear in the show were released in the toyline: the Mammoth, Triceratops and T-Rex Rangers.
The PaleoMax Megazord in Retrofire style.
The toy-exclusive Zord for the Micro Zords toyline.
- Bandai America released their own version as the deluxe version differing in many ways from the show and Bandai Japan release.
- A Retrofire Megazords version was also released aside from all the other RPM Megazords in the new stylized motif. RPM is the only series with more than one Megazord and a complete set at that.
- A Micro Zords version was also released which included a bonus Zord.
