Zeo Zord 3

Introduction and History

Built by Zordon, Billy, and Alpha 5, this Zord is integral to the Zeo Zord arsenal. Its massive jaws can crush strong objects, and it is capable of running at tremendous speeds on its four legs. During the assembly of the Zeo MegaZord, Zeo Zord III forms the upper torso and arms, providing essential strength and mobility to the combined form.

Design and Armament

Zeo Zord III’s design is inspired by the mythical power of the Sphinx, as described by Zordon. The Zord has a distinctive sphinx-like appearance, complete with a headdress and large jaws capable of crushing objects. It is equipped with two small cannons on its forehead that can fire orange energy blasts. This Zord can also catch and destroy flying enemies, such as Quadrafighters, with its powerful jaws. Rocky pilots Zeo Zord III by entering through a seat on a track that leads into the Zord, accessing it through the bump running over the top of the sphinx’s head.

Piloting and Configuration

Rocky, as Zeo Ranger III Blue, controls Zeo Zord III, which operates as the central force among the Zeo Zords. When combined with the other Zeo Zords to form the Zeo MegaZord, Zeo Zord III becomes the upper torso and arms. This configuration provides the MegaZord with significant strength and the ability to perform powerful attacks. Additionally, Zeo Zord III often pulls Zeo Zord I using two chains attached to its shoulders, showcasing its role as a driving force in battle.

Key Features and Capabilities

• Sphinx Design: Zeo Zord III is modeled after the mythical Sphinx, equipped with massive jaws and a distinctive headdress.
• Forehead Cannons: The Zord can fire orange energy blasts from two small cannons on its forehead, adding to its offensive capabilities.
• Massive Jaws: Its jaws can crush strong objects, making it effective in both offensive and defensive maneuvers.
• High Speed: Zeo Zord III can run at tremendous speeds on its four legs, allowing it to maneuver quickly in battle.

Significant Battles and Deployments

Zeo Zord III has been a crucial component in many battles against the Machine Empire. During an engagement, it demonstrated its power by catching and crushing a flying Quadrafighter in its mouth. In combined attacks with the other Zeo Zords, Zeo Zord III contributed by firing a blue energy beam from its forehead cannons when all five Zords fired simultaneously.

One significant incident involved Cog Changer shooting a controlling gear into the Zeo MegaZord through the mouth of Zeo Zord III. This incident led to unusual readings in the Zeo Zord Holding Bay, prompting Zordon and Billy to investigate. Billy discovered a loose wire in the auxiliary sub-cockpit of Zeo Zord II, highlighting the interconnectedness and complexity of the Zords’ systems.

In another battle, Zeo Zord III’s role as the upper torso and arms of the Zeo MegaZord was pivotal. The MegaZord used its combined strength to overpower and defeat formidable foes. The Zeo Three Battle Helmet, which is the back section of Zeo Zord III’s headdress turned over, further added to the MegaZord’s defensive and offensive capabilities.
