This article is about a Megazord in Power Rangers Wild Force. |
The Kongazord was the second Megazord introduced in Power Rangers Wild Force.
Overview[]
When the Kongazord is formed, the Green Gorilla lets out a mighty bellow as it spins around and folds its legs, arms, and head into a green-chested torso, from which a second head rises. Then, the Black and Polar Bears fold their legs in as their rear torsos swivel out. The Black Bear becomes the left arm, while the Polar Bear becomes its right arm. Those 3 Zords descend upon the Bison (which has already became the hips and legs) and locks in place, with the Eagle as its waist.
The Kongazord's finisher was an enhanced version of the "Double Knuckle" dubbed the Double Knuckle Final Strike. It involved charging up the Black Bear arm of the Kongazord before raising into it and energy slashing the monster followed by the same with the Polar Bear arm.
Appearances: WF Episodes 8, 9, 13, 21
History[]
The Kongazord is the second Megazord introduced after the Rangers discover that the Black and Polar Bear Zords have overloaded the Wild Force Megazord's energies and depleted the Red Lion's endurance in holding it together. During a battle against the Bulldozer Org, the green Gorilla Zord is introduced, and the Rangers use its strength combined with the Black and Polar Bears, the Eagle, and the Bison to combine into the Kongazord and destroy him.

After the Rangers discover the Rhino and the Armadillo, they use these as the legs more often than the Bison and the Eagle, allowing the Kongazord and the Wild Force Megazord to fight side-by-side.
The Kongazord is one of the Megazords used against Master Org on the Animaria when he invades it. With most of the Zords dead, the Rangers use the Deer Zord to paralyze Master Org and destroy him using the Double Knuckle Final Strike but the Org Heart is not destroyed and revives Master Org which allows him to destroy the Deer Zord before he can get paralyzed and blows up the entire Kongazord with his hand strike. The Kongazord is later revived when Master Org is destroyed and the components aid in the Ultra Roar which destroys Master Org forever. The components of the Kongazord remain on the Animarium due to no longer being required to fight the Orgs. TV STORY-The End of the Power Rangers

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
to be added
Design[]
- The Kongazord was based off of a Roman gladiator.
Etymology[]
With the Gorilla Wildzord as its core component, this Megazord's name might evoke the names of great apes in film, literature, and video gaming (e.g. King Kong, Donkey Kong), thus using the constructed word "Kong" (a corruption of "Congo" referring to apes and the territory in which apes are found) with "Megazord".
Notes[]
- When Bandai America imported the DX Hyakujuu Gattai GaoMuscle as the Deluxe Kongazord, it came with a motorized version of the Bison Zord (which is a Bandai America original design) to give it more play value.
