Battlizers: yay or nay

how many people here actually like the battlizers and all the bikes PR gets?

i for one am starting to be against both. IS-WF had a very nice and formulatic approach to the Battlizers. they were only used about 4 times through the series. the ep it premired, the team up, possibly one ep after that, and the finale. most of those battlizers were ok. Coles was by far the best. those giant wings looked so badass. Wes' wasn't bad but looked like a rooster to me. and while Eric's one of my fav rangers, his Mega Battle Armor was a joke. he had freakin rollerblades for god's sake. Carter's was kinda cool, a motorcycle and a battlizer. plus Chad and Joel got the Mega Battle Armors. that was nice to see a non Red Ranger get a power up. Leo's was definately the ugliest. Andros' was good for being the first one. i liked how his body got a heavily muscular look, and the wings weren't bad, but the visor, weapons, and the little wing things on his feet were just goofy looking.

NS and DT have definately overused the battlizers and made them pretty goofy. in both NS and DT, the Battlizers were used 8 times each season and half the time it was just to take out some grunts or blow up a monster in someone else's focus ep. not to mention while they look cool, these two battlizers prove that looks arent everything. Shane's wasn't bad but compared to Cole's, it looks like a downgrade. Conner's looks cool as well just by itself. but when he does the lame attacks like stretcy arms and cannons, :nono: . i'm hoping Jack's is alot better this year.

what do you guys think?
 
Haven't liked them since...Well, I've only ever like Shane's for some reason ^^; Other then that, they're not that great. But meh...Whatever sells toys as they say.
 
I thought it kicked -ass- when Andros first got it.

When Leo had it, it was kinda cool. Carter's with the cycle was a neat idea. To be fair, I haven't seen Cole's yet, but after Carter's the idea got kinda stale...when everything is smooth and fluid in PR/Sentai, to add these hu-freaking-mongous big plated Battlizers that look more like an MOTW than a Ranger can be a little problematic if not properly used.

And I don't really think DT properly used it ;) I'm kind of against them doing more unless they streamline the designs (again, haven't seen Cole's yet). Power-ups are okay, but the Battlizer has kind of lost it's special-ness.

I think, as a writer, my big problem is that they're starting to just yell "Battlizer!" when they get one. I'm a big fan of original morphing/weapon calls, so to have anything be cookie-cutter makes my brain hurt. ;) Maybe Kalish will have some interesting ideas, though -- he's played it pretty interestingly with the PR formula so far.
 
I'm not a huge fan of Battlizer's simply because they seem to scream "BUY ME!" but then again...that's waht the show is for right. ;)

I liked Shane's Battlizer but Conner's was simply "eh". The Super Stretch killed it for me.
 
I only liked the original one and the one from Wild Force. The rest stink.

It's becoming a boring tradition when the Red Ranger gets the Battlizer every single year.
 
I like battlizers and the bikes. I mean the action on those bikes are sick. Love it. The Battlizers are kewl. WF and NS had awesome battlizers. DT's battlizer was stupid >_>; ... Yay.. conner gets a new toy. Zordon spins in his grave yet again.

But I actually enjoy seeing the new battlizers. Its become a yearly event for PR! New Season, New Battlizer, New Bikes! I always look forward to seeing them. The action is pretty damn awesome for the battlizer as well, even for Conner.

Shane's Battlizer is my favorite. Just the best designed and so functional. It worked very well in battles. At any rate, I would be dissapointed if they got rid of them now. Its such a kewl idea, why get rid of it? Same thing for Team Up episodes. Some are great some arent. But I wouldnt want them to stop either way.
 
I liked the Megabattles, they were simple yet effective unlike the Red Armors where they'd just, well most of them anyway, would just fall over lol...

Quantum Megabattle...WHY IN THE HELL DID HE HAVE ROLLER BLADES?!!!
 
I'm not a fan of them. To be honest I'm halway expecting them top battleize a mega zord one of these days
