Pyramidas

Origins and Capabilities

Pyramidas, an immense golden pyramid, stands as a mystery with its origins shrouded in obscurity. This formidable Zord is known for its extraordinary capabilities, including operation in deep space, underwater environments, and atmospheric flight. Its engines grant it faster-than-light speed, making intergalactic travel feasible. One of Pyramidas’s most fearsome abilities is its capacity to summon lightning of immense destructive power, capable of obliterating anything in its path. This Zord can also transform into a colossal robotic formation, towering over twice the height of the Power Rangers’ MegaZords. This transformation includes several bays within its structure that can house the entire Zeo Zord squadron, making Pyramidas the primary component of the Zeo UltraZord. Furthermore, it can also integrate the Super Zeo Megazord within itself to form the Super Zeo UltraZord.

Early Encounters and Battle Damage

Trey, the original Gold Ranger, journeyed through space in Pyramidas to reach Earth. During its voyage, Pyramidas encountered challenges including a significant battle with the Barox bounty hunters, which resulted in severe damage. The colossal Zord was subsequently submerged in the Nevian Sea on the planet Aquitar. Despite this setback, Trey managed to recover Pyramidas and sent it to Earth to aid the Power Rangers Zeo in their struggle against the Machine Empire.

Arrival on Earth and Initial Battles

As Pyramidas approached Earth from deep space, it traversed a black vortex with red wisps, causing a major power surge and interference for both the Machine Skybase and the Power Chamber. Neither King Mondo nor Klank recognized Pyramidas. When it caused interference in the Power Chamber during its approach, Billy was excited by the readings. Pyramidas entered Earth’s atmosphere and vanished from the Machine Empire’s and the Power Chamber’s scanners using a cloaking field.

Pyramidas, as Gold Ranger’s Zord, shared an energy source with the Zeo Rangers, evident from the matching energy signatures of the Zeo Subcrystals and Pyramidas. During a battle with the giant Wolfbane, Gold Ranger summoned Pyramidas by holding up his Golden Power Staff, sending a golden beam skyward. The sky darkened, and Pyramidas descended in the form of a black pyramid speckled with small gold squares. A blue energy beam then connected Pyramidas’s tip with the sky, transforming it into its normal form. Gold Ranger’s teleportation streak entered a small square indentation in the front of Pyramidas, behind a revealed Zeo insignia.

The spacious cockpit of Pyramidas featured a transparent control panel in front of Gold Ranger’s seat, with three horizontal neon tubes in yellow, green, and red or orange. At the back of the cockpit was a large glowing blue asterisk shape within a circle. Gold Ranger inserted an object resembling a wide Zeonizer Crystal into the control panel, from which beamed a gold or orange vertical energy column.

Transformation and Integration with Other Zords

Pyramidas could roll across the ground and, for its lightning bolt finishing move, a bluish-white energy beam shot up from its tip, followed by gold energy bolts striking the ground, culminating in a powerful explosion that destroyed the giant Wolfbane. In subsequent battles, Pyramidas appeared in its normal form without needing to transform from the black pyramid form. A gold energy ray from its tip dissolved the nets trapping the Zeo Megazord and Red Battlezord during a battle with the giant Tarantabot.

Gold Ranger transmitted data to the other Rangers, showing that Pyramidas could join their Zords to form the Zeo Ultrazord. Pyramidas transformed its legs, stood up, and its tip folded down to form a belt buckle bearing the Gold Ranger symbol. Its head transformed, revealing a large crown piece shaped like the Gold Ranger symbol. The arms rotated up and around to the back during the transformation into the Zeo Ultrazord Carrier Mode but returned to its sides once the Zord stood up.

Further Battles and Strategic Use

After the teens mentioned finding Pyramidas to locate the Gold Ranger, the Zord flew through a vortex and hovered outside Angel Grove, causing tremors as it landed. Gold Ranger activated Pyramidas’s invisibility shield, making it transparent. He then climbed down a ladder within a narrow vertical passageway, encountering a Varox bounty hunter. The Varox waited to attack until Gold Ranger left Pyramidas’s protective field. Pyramidas’s landing caused similar energy readings in the Power Chamber.

Despite its advanced capabilities, Pyramidas was shot down by Varox warships over the Nevian Sea on Aquitar, where it sank. Trey’s absence from Earth left the Gold Ranger at a disadvantage, prompting Trey of Wisdom to send Warrior Wheel to complement the Super Zeozords’ strength.

Final Battles and Legacy

Trey of Wisdom later transmitted from Triforia, instructing Jason to pilot Pyramidas. Upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, Pyramidas transformed from its black pyramid form into its normal Zord form. The cockpit featured a seat restraint for the Gold Ranger. Pyramidas’s lightning attack revealed the robotic Midas Monster by breaking the external shell of the giant Midas Hound. It then destroyed the Midas Monster with a gold energy ray from its peak.

In battles against other foes, such as giant Louie Kaboom and giant Mechaterpillar, Pyramidas played a crucial role. It integrated the Super Zeo Megazord to form the Super Zeo Ultrazord and used its lightning attacks to destroy enemies like Mechaterpillar, despite some attacks not being fully effective against others like Impursonator.
