"Thunder Megazord, power up!"
The Thunder Megazord, also referred to as Mega Thunderzord or simply Megazord, is the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' second Megazord formation, created by merging the five Thunderzords: the Red Dragon, Lion, Unicorn, Griffin and Firebird - it was slower and heavier than it's predecessor, but was more powerful and resilient. He uses his sword as a weapon, and to finish off his enemies powers up his sword and performs a big slash. He also has an Assault Mode which is basically Red Dragon Thunderzord riding on the sled formed by the Thunderzord Assault Team.
He first appeared in The Mutiny, after the Rangers freed the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord and the Dragonzord from Pirantishead. Zordon and Alpha 5 provided the Rangers with the ability to transform the Dinozords into the Thunderzords.
The Thunderzords were destroyed by Rito Revolto when he came to Earth to join Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa's crusade.
In Ninja Quest, Rito Revolto confronted the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and prompted them to bring out the Thunder Megazord and the Tigerzord. However, Rito set up a trap with other monsters, allowing him to inflict terminal damage on the Thunderzords. The Rangers escaped from the Thunder Megazord and the White Tigerzord before they were destroyed, depriving them of their powers as well.

[edit] Trivia
- Though normally referred to as the Thunder Megazord, Zordon first referred to the combination as the MegaThunderzord.
- The Thunder Megazord was released twice, once as separate sets with the Red Dragon Thunderzord and the rest of the Thunderzord as part of the Thunderzord Assault Team set, and another time as a complete set with all five zords.
- To drive the point that the Lion Thunderzord was Black Ranger's zord, the Lion Thunderzord's head was repainted black in the American toy release instead of Green.
- In the comics, the Thunderzord's circular chest-piece has three lines on it lined on like the Saban logo.
