The Discovery Megazord is the main Megazord in Power Rangers Discovery. It is the primary megazord of the Discovery Rangers.
Overview[]
The Discovery Megazord is the Megazord formation of any 3 of the 5 primary Omnizord Animals. While this Megazord can assemble in multiple combinations, each combination requires the Eagle Omnizord to serve as the command component. To initiate the transformation, the Red Discovery Ranger activates Combine Mode on his Omnimorpher & inputs the corresponding number code for each Omnizord Animal involved in the combination. Once the combine function is initiated, three square portals appear in the sky which the designated Omnizord Animals pass through & then switch to Cube Mode before stacking on top of each other. The Master Saber then comes down from the sky & inserts itself into the center of the stack to serve as the locking component for the combination. From there, the Master Saber twists & locks the stack into position, switching the Omnizord Animals to their megazord configuration before the hit of the Master Saber reveals the face of the Megazord & the smaller Super Saber is released to activate it. Should a situation arise where the Megazord becomes immobilized, the Eagle Omnizord can separate from its current combination to reform the Discovery Megazord with the other Omnizord Animals. In any of its combinations, the Discovery Megazord is able to summon a Micro Attack Zord from the grid on its forehead to either provide support or be wielded in their weapons form.
The Discovery Megazord: Configuration 1*2*3 is the default formation of the Megazord, using the combination of the Eagle, Shark, & Lion Omnizords. This formation wields the Super Saber & specializes in sword attacks. By switching their Omnimorpher to Combine Mode & inserting them into their control consoles, the Discovery Rangers can activate the Discovery Super Strike finisher, a sequence of three slashes for each of its components. The 1*2*3 Formation can also perform a weaker flaming slash during the battle in order to soften an opponent's defences.

History[]
The Omnizords were first given to the Discovery Rangers in the face of their first enlarged opponent, the Generation 4 Combat Disciple, who had Order 57 invoked on it. After Commander Burnham granted the Rangers access to the Omnizords, the rangers boarded their individual zords and engaged the disciple and his flight of Prism Fighter craft. After swiftly destroying the Prism Fighters, Once Lester re-aligned the Omni-Field to allow for zord fusions, the rangers were guided into forming the Discovery Megazord for the first time, with the Shark and Lion Zords joining the Eagle Zord in forming the initial Shark combination while the Elephant and Tiger zords missed the "first come, first serve", much to Jimmy's frustration. Fighting the giant general while backed up by the Elephant and Tiger Zords, the Discovery Megazord quickly outmatched the disiple and performed the Discovery Super Strike to destroy it.
The Omnizords were soon summoned again to fight an enlarged Generation 5 Gun Runner and, after halting his storm of spears, the Discovery Megazord was formed again, only this time it was Elephant and Tiger's turn to catch the "first come, first serve", thus forming the 1*5*4 combination for the first time. Softening him with the Elephant and Tiger Kicks, the Megazord quickly destroyed Xenu's Disciple with the Discovery Mega Kick.
With the Elephant and Tiger Zords buried by a rockfall caused by the Generation 6 Hot Shot's gunfire, the Discovery Megazord in its 1*2*3 configuration was formed only for the bigger target to be buried up to the Eagle Zord as well. However, Elephant and Tiger soon found they could free themselves by switching from Animal to Cube modes, with Eagle taking the opportunity to join up with them as Discovery Megazord in its 1*5*4 configuration which moved to eluded the disciple's attempt to bury it only for the surrounding forest area to receive damage. Sensing that the Discovery Rangers needed to take out the Hot Shot down fast, Lester managed to activate the Micro Giraffe Zord, which outmatched the Hot Shot firepower before equipping with the Megazord as the Giraffe Cannon, destroying the disciple.
Forming the Discovery Megazord in its 1*2*3 configuration to face the enlarged Generation 9 Stormbreaker, who intended to capture the Omnizords for Xenu, the rangers saw the Elephant and Tiger - who Lester had put on auto-pilot since Jimmy and Erin were too busy watching a video made by Lester documenting the history of Power Rangers - ensnared by his net. After freeing both zords, they quickly summoned the Giraffe Cannon Zord to free them before equipping it to the Megazord, performing the Mega Giraffe Blast to destroy the disciple.
Omnizords[]
The Omnizords are the personal zords of the five core Discovery Rangers. The rangers summon them from their Omnimorphers by pressing the yellow button on the its keypad, which transports them to the sub-atomic realm until the rangers rotate their Omnimorphers to form the image of a cube. In a manner similar to the FoldingZords of (Super) Samurai, the Omnizords can shrink into miniature versions of themselves. When attacked by giant Disciples, the Omnizords are transported out of Discovery Command - either by technicians at the base or the Rangers using their morphers. During a battle, the zords can change from their animal to their cube forms for heightened defense as well as to perform slamming attacks.
Eagle Omnizord[]
The Eagle is the Red Discovery Ranger's personal Omnizord. It fires lasers from the turbine in its back and can also perform a flaming divebomb attack.
