Default Re: Each Ranger with a Megazord

We've come to a point where, in addition to all rangers having a single zord, there are dozens of other zords with no pilots that either belong to the team as a whole or the red ranger. In fact, several seasons have the red ranger with two or more personal zords. Even 6th rangers get their own megazord now with several other zords.

The question I have is: when will it be that all rangers get their own Megazords?
It'd be nice BUT I don't see it happening.

I think the idea of auxiliary zords were a fine concept during Wild Force and Dino Thunder. In both cases each ranger basically had a primary zord and then a secondary zord to call upon or control. With a few exceptions (i.e. Falcon Wild Zord and Mezodon Rover). However, since then, things have gotten out of hand. I hate to say that there are too many zords, but yeah there are too many auxiliary zords. I'd say the problem crept up around Shinkenger/Samurai and became a major problem with Goseiger/Mega Force since then. Now I like the idea in Kyuranger that every ranger gets one zord, although that may change quickly given the number of zords were are getting and the idea that we are unlikely to have 20+ rangers (we'll see). But there is still the other elephant in the room: the red ranger gets all the big, cool, and/or single Megazords.
well Wild Force was fine but Dino Thunder wasn't since generally it was Tommy or Hayley who was sending the zords.

The problem isn't that there's too many auxiliary zords the problem is that they can't equally divide them.

also the Red Ranger isn't the only one who gets the big, cool and/or Megazords/humanoid zords since there's the MMPR Tigerzord, the Defender Torozord, the Q-Rex, the Predazord, Dino Stegazord, Delta Command Megazord, Centaurus Wolf Megazord, Rhino Steelzord Warrior Mode, Titano Megazord

So why haven't we reached the logical evolution; giving each ranger their own Megazord?

Why not have a season where each ranger starts off with their own Megazord? Either a single combination or five individual zords that form into a Megazord. Why give the red rangers all the Megazords? How about give them each their own Megazord to control? Do you see where I'm going with this? You can give each ranger 1-5 zords without out making them seem inferior to the red or 6th rangers.

It's just an idea, but should't we have gotten here by now rather that still be stuck in a time where only the "cool" rangers are given extra zords. Wasn't there a time where all the rangers were to be treated equal as opposed to being inferior to the red ranger?
because it would cost money to create that many suits granted it'd be nice if we had that again since we had the Shogunzords and Battle Borgs in MMPR3, the Super Zeozords and Turbo's Rescuezords in High Stance Mode but after that we didn't see it again until Mystic Force.
