Desert Thunder can combine with the other Turbo Zords to form the Turbo Megazord’s right leg.
Desert Thunder resembles bears the number three. In its Zord size, Desert Thunder forms the right leg of the Turbo Megazord. Like the other Turbo Zords, Desert Thunder is invisible to most forms of radar, including Divatox’s Subcraft sensors.
Initial Appearance and Creation
The Turbo Zords, including Desert Thunder, were created by Zordon and Alpha 5. During their creation, the Viewing Screen in the Power Chamber displayed outlines of the Turbo Zords, which then appeared in a smoke-filled room elsewhere in the Power Chamber. Zordon mentioned that the Turbo Zords would possess the power and velocity of Turbo technology, enabling the Rangers to undertake their quest through the Nemesis Triangle.
Usage in Combat
Desert Thunder has been involved in numerous battles, forming the right leg of the Turbo Megazord during combat. One notable incident involved Giant Count Nocturn using his sledgehammer to smash the reclined Turbo Megazord’s right leg (Desert Thunder) and then its left leg (Dune Star). Despite this, the Turbozords appeared undamaged in subsequent appearances, although the Turbo Megazord’s power was significantly drained.
