Megazord key issues

Introduction and the Problem​

---

This is a more "simple" and direct CRT compared to others i make BUT this is insanely important that will effect how we handle the Megazord profiles (and can even effect other verses like Super Sentai). We all know the classic all Zords fuse to make the Megazord, each Zord and Megazord are individual profiles like it should be.........but what happens with fusions between Megazords? There are times where a Sixth Ranger's Zord fuses with the main team's Megazord. CLASSIC example is the Dragonzord fusing with the Dino Megazord to make the Mega Dragonzord which is part of the Dino Megazord's profile. Where is the problem located you may say?

Fusions like these are usually not standard at all, the Sixth Ranger CANNOT summon nor use the main team's Megazord........and there's a problem on which profile the fusion goes to, for the Dragonzord case, shouldn't the Mega Dragonzord "key" also be part of the Dragonzord and not only the Dino Megazord? Therefore the idea of splitting Megazord-Zord fusions into different profiles, example like the Dragon Thunderzord should be a different profile than a key in the Thunder Megazord's profile as it fuses two different Megazords that have no connection to each other. In theory we do the same for the individual Zords themselves

Obviously thought, new Megazord forms that are done via summoning new Zords similar to how jungle fury does it, can stay in the profiles are there are standard Megazord upgrades/form changes that can be done at any time

"BUT divine! What happens if the base Rangers can access the Sixth Ranger's zord?"

Great question, here's the elephant in the room, example is Lightspeed Rescue where the Lightspeed Ranger get access to the Max Solarzord and can summon it to go into the Lightspeed Solarzord. Normally this isn't possible as the form needs the Titanium Ranger but it was gifted to them as he left the show temporarily. What happens there? Is still worthy of a different profile? or should rather be a key on the Lightspeed Megazord page?

Solution​

---

There are two solutions to my knowledge that i wanna propose

1# Every Megazord fusion becomes a different profile than a key to a certain profile regardless of how standard it is. This does NOT effect blatant upgrades/new forms of the base Megazord. The potential fusions and summons can be written on the profile just like we do it on the Ranger's profiles

• Data

2# Non-Standard Megazord fusions become a different profile but Standard Megazord Fusions (such as the Solarzord case) becomes a key to the Megazord that can summon the other one to fuse at any given time

• Gonzalo, EvoltOz, Shootingrock, Lephyr, Data

I shall agree

lil bro gray, agree with which proposal

The second option seems more appropriate to me, because I feel that sometimes some profiles that were considered unnecessary can be avoided

I agree with option 2

Option 2 is the best case imo, plus no profile overloads.

OP looks fine to me. Nice job, bro!

Option 2 is the best IMO

To be noted, we do allow noting optional abilities/equipment where applicable. So it is not incorrect having the Dino Megazord listed alongside the Dragonzord, even if they normally can't access it. As long as it is listed as optional and that it must be specified in the versus thread that they have access to it, it is valid.

Nevertheless, having it in its own separate profile (since they can't summon it normally) would still be a better way to index this, so Option 2 is fine with me.

bump and agree with option 2

As mentioned previously with Divini, I think Option 1 is best since that's generally how he handle fusion profiles. However, if everyone prefers option 2, that's fine with me too.

And grace-

I would have assumed that some keys would be part of the Core Zord in said Megazord. Like the Dragon Thunderzord wears the others as armor/limbs.

It's weird because even the Mega Dragonzord which is the Dino Megazord wearing like the Dragonzord like a cape thing, and it is called Mega Dragonzord

The Dragon Thunderzord changes limbs, head (slightly), torso and even gets a tail, it does have more differences compared to the normal Thunderzord

none of the above.

Just give me vote for both, I don't mind any of em.

I suppose option 2 is fine.

I suppose this can be closed then, we'll be adjusting the profiles accordingly from now on. Thanks for the evaluations!
