If I was Bandai of America

This is how I would of released the zords over in the states. Now I will NOT cover anything from MMPR Series 1-PRiS. They were fine, the only things I can think of was the sticker changes in the MMPR line, and the Pink Shogunzord. I will however go over Lost Galaxy-Time Force briefly. My main area are the ones AFTER Wild Force.

Before I start, this will NOT be a thread where I criticize Bandai of America. This is merely how I would of done it if I were in their shows. I can see that some of the things they did were because they feel the toy wouldn't sell or that maybe it's too expensive and it wouldn't sell.

Things I want to cover first
Lost Galaxy: The Lights of Orion for the Galaxy Megazord would be released with the Magna Defender figure, and I guess I could include the two Defender Axes, one when he's small and the other when he's big.
Lightspeed Rescue: I think this would be a perfect time to release a black and gold remake of the main megazord and the sixth ranger's megazord, considering this was the only time a recolored was in the show. Other than that, they god down all of the main ones like Lost Galaxy.
Time Force:
-Time Jet: Becomes a gun for the Time Force Megazord Mode Blue. Comes with five miniature Time Force Rangers to five inside the Time Flyers.
-Transwarp Megazord: Comes with the Transwarp Megazord and its base.

The ones I covered had minor problems I would correct. Now these are the ones when Bandai of America got really sloppy, I guess because of all of those Auxiliary Zords.
Wild Force:
-Wild Force Megazord: Same thing.
-Wild Force Zord Set 1: Comes with Elephant Wildzord, Giraffe Wildzord (comes with helmet), Polar Bear Wildzord (comes with 3 bullets), Black Bear Wildzord (comes with 3 bullets), and the Gorilla Wildzord (comes with anchor). I think this is a good way to get these to sell like hot cakes.
-Predazord: Same thing.
-Wild Force Zord Set 2: Comes with Rhino Wildzord, Armadillo Wildzord (comes with adapter), Deer Wildzord, Falcon Wildzord, and Red Ape Wildzord (comes with anchor).
-Animus: Same thing.
-Wild Force Zord Set 3: Replaces the Ultimus Megazord. Comes with Giant Lion Wildzord, Blue Moon Alligator Wildzord, and Soul Bird (in the style of its Japanese counter and comes with 5 miniature Wild Force Ranger figures).

Ninja Storm
Ninja Storm Megazord: Same thing. Comes with Power Sphere 01.
Ninja Storm Megazord Lightning Mode: Done in the style of its Japanese counterpart, and released in a box where you can see it.
Thunder Megazord: Same thing. Comes with Power Spheres 04, 07, and 08.
Ninja Storm Power Sphere Set 1: Comes with Power Spheres 02, 03, 05, 06, and 09 (that is if they can release it). Comes in a long rectangular box. They're each already in their spheres already.
Samurai Star Megazord: Same thing. Comes with Power Spheres 15, 16, and 17.
Power Sphere Set 2: Comes with Power Spheres 10, 11, 12, 14, and 13. I don't know how I'll handle 13 considering they're 10 variations of it. I guess release one of them here, and release the others with some of the action figures or pay McDonalds, Burger King, or Wendys to sell them with some cheap action figure included. That or make ones that are show accurate.
Mighty Mammoth: Comes with six color coded spheres. This will replace the Hurricane Megazord playset.

Dino Thunder
Thundersaurus Megazord: Same thing.
Brachiozord: Comes with six miniature version of the three main Dinozords, and four Auxiliary Zords. Head can come apart to combine with the Thundersaurus Megazord. This will be seen in the advertisements so kids could buy this.
Dino Thunder Zord Set: Comes with Cephalazord, Dimetrozord, Parasaurzord, and Ankylozord.
Dino Stegazord: Same thing, minus the Dimetrozord.
Blizzard Force Megazord: Same thing, minus the repaint Pterazord.
Mezodon: Same thing.

SPD
Same thing, but add the cards for the Delta Runner 5. I like they added the Blast Buggy.

Mystic Force
Centaurus Wolf Megazord: Comes with Catastros and the Knight Wolf.

This is where Bandai of America tried to make their own version. For Operation Overdrive, and Jungle Fury. Hell, maybe even RPM and Samurai/Super Samurai I would use the same ones as the Japanese toys, but dumbed down like the other ones. Although they did make their own mold for Jungle Fury, while releasing some of the Japanese molds as well.

Operation Overdrive
Drivemax Megazord
Dualdrive Megazord
Flash Point Megazord
Battlefleet Megazord
Sentinel Knight

Jungle Fury
Jungle Pride Megazord: Same thing.
Jungle Fury Zord Set 1: Includes the Elephant, Bat, and Shark.
Jungle Master Megazord: Same thing.
Jungle Fury Zord Set 2: Includes the Wolf, Lion, and Chameleon.
Rhino Steal Zord: Same thing.

If I chose to release it in the Japanese mold.

RPM
High Octane Megazord
Valvemax Megazord
Skyrev Megazord
Road Attack Zord
Paleo Max Megazord
Engine Shogun Megazord

Samurai/Super Samurai
Samurai Megazord
Samurai Zord Set 1: Beetle Zord, Swordfish Zord, and Tiger Zord.
Claw Zord
Samurai Zord Set 2: Octo Zord, Shark Zord
Light Zord
Bull Zord

What... is the point of this thread exactly? There is a reason why BoA has to change things in order to sell them here in the states, especially in more recent years of sentai with collecting gimmicks and butt tons of auxiliary mech. They just don't work in America.

The point is to see what I would do if I were in their shoes. I know things like the Elephant Wildzord or the Power Spheres individually wouldn't sell very well, which is why I had stuff like Wild Force Zord Set 1, 2, and 3, or the Power Spheres Set 1, and 2. You think I would just release it how it is in Japan? No, unless it would sell.
