Ancient Aliens Megazord, part two

Moving swiftly along, here's the first few Zords that I made last night in the grip of a stinky cold. The final images for all the individual machines and the combined robot will be digital, but these are basically the finished designs as far as I'm concerned.

Giorgio's flyer is actually the smallest since it only forms the head, but that's fine. Having the pin badge to work from helped a lot. The vehicle mode is mostly unchanged from the badge, save for the colour scheme and some parts being altered to accomodate hinges and the like. Sometime between the first doodles and this I had the brainwave of making the face be Akhenaten [also totally an alien, guys], so instead of the tail folding back it instead folds forward to become a Pharoh-beard. We know from Voltron that combining robots must have pouty lips, and Akhenaten's lips are very pouty indeed. The face would either fold out from underneath [there wouldn't be enough room in the flyer's body to hide the whole face, so it sort of hangs out the bottom] or, if this were a toy, probably peg on as a seperate piece. It's a cop-out, yeah, but the rest of this thing's okay at avoiding those.

From the smallest to [probably] the biggest, we move on to the black Chariot of the Gods. [Black Chariot Of The Gods would be an awesome name for a band.] The wheels were originally stuck up in the shoulder position, but now they slide up and down. To transform it, you slide the wheels up, pull the lower part down, slide the engines back towards the body along their rails, then fold the rails up out of the way and rotate the engines down. Pull the neck bit up out of the top and you're done. [I forgot to draw the rails on the coloured picture, whoops.] The bird-like designs are from the Nasca Lines, another thing that's come up in the show, and serve as a way of tying all the machines together. They could be removed easily, though. The back of the torso has a recess and four small sockets for a possible add-on- nothing's been designed, but that option's open.

Vimaauuughhhna.
It's essentially a big flying cone/pyramid, so that provides a handy place to store the arms. It just splits in half, the lower arms flip out, and you pull the fists out the forearms [or peg them on, if this is a cheap toy version]. Due to the fact that the two bits have to fit flush together, the 'pegs' for the shoulders will be on the wheels of the Chariot [above], and the holes will be on these.
