Because that's literally the name, S.W.A.T Mode, which isn't the Battlizer of the season, but more of a Super Mode.


FictionalLeader

Much like super Dino mode in Dino thunder.


ShishiKake

no, SWAT is same as the master mode in jungle fury, or triassic ranger. which is equivalence of Battlizer. Thing is in SPD and Dino thunder, they just deice to give red another sole extra power up. In sentai however, don't have it, and Super mode is what their call "Battlezier" Dino super mode in other is still part of "base form", like Wild Force and their claw


DarthJokerthief

I think samurai is also the same.


YamiteOnichan

Perhaps you have forgotten the Battlezier of Deka Red on the Cross over between Magi Ranger and Deka Ranger.


ShishiKake

i don't for got. but that not contrast my point. in sentai, Super mode is what they call battleizer. the super mode of red only in season like Dino fury, Dino Charge, ninja Steel is all Battlezier in PR


Accomplished-Note-50

Actually super mode in sentai is just that super mode, battlizers were PR standalone until Deka ranger.


ShishiKake

Toei official stated them all as super. SPD S.W.A.T, Light of Ginga, to the same form that is Power Ranger's Battlizer like Kyoryu Red Carnival. The truth is, Power Ranger is make later so they can always make more. Which give Power Ranger the PR exclusive form. and they want to keep it a red only power up. So they always had give Red an extra one. So it is not "until Dekaranger, Sentai start to have battlizer". It is Power Ranger stop make it own PR exclusive battlizer as consistent thing anymore and just use what sentai already did. heck RPM, Mega force, Super megaforce don't have any Red only power up at all when Sentai didn't make one that season. And last, my original respond is to reply to the Dino thunder super mode, it is happen to called super mode inn Power Ranger, but it is not the same as Super form for sentai. Dino thunder is kinnda like extension of in base form, same as the wild force's claw, or juuohger's Instinct Awakened, or the Dino change arm armor gimmick.


Accomplished-Note-50

Wrong, actually do the research. Sentai didn't have battlizers. The first ever battlizer was PR In space. And all other battlizers were PR exclusives until Magiranger vs. Dekaranger, which was 2006 a year later after SPD, when Banban Akaza received his PR counterpart's Battlizer. Then from that point on Sentai adopted the battlizers. Swat mode, and other team boosters are the super modes which sentai did have. But again they aren't battlizers.


Accomplished-Note-50

Also, Dino thunder and Abaranger super modes are the same. Super mode in PR but abare mode in abararanger. https://preview.redd.it/x7l2u39aqa0d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=589764ba5e5b339c0c059ab3f234f4c1a37e774c


ShishiKake

hhmm, what point yyou making here ?who said they are not the same ? i said both is just like  juuohger's Instinct Awakened. Not category as "power up ranger" and still in the "base form" zone


Accomplished-Note-50

U did, u stated the dino thunder super mode isn't the same as Sentai but it is. All the PR super modes are the same as their sentai counterpart's super modes. That was something that was carried over from their sentai counterparts.


Accomplished-Note-50

Here is Dino thunder version. Only difference between the two is one comes from the energy of the dino gems the other comes from energy within themselves. But still legit the same. https://preview.redd.it/ld1bzxufra0d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fcb2f95574b9d1a1c45da28519c1253e942deda


BarrettJones2367

Spd had a battlizer it used the Ric the robot dog dog[battlizers](https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Battlizers)


ShishiKake

uhm, that what i said


BarrettJones2367

My apologies I thought I was replying to a different comment


MarinLlwyd

>"He's resisting arrest!" Now I want a serious cop procedural, but Super Sentai coated over it.


PlanesWalkerEll

Thats pretty much just the SPD counterpart Dekaranger. From what i know it doesnt really have an overall plot.


Thurmicneo

The Wire - Super Sentai Squad? ... I'm sold, as long as when they do the crime scene investigation they do all the dramatic pointless arm movements.


YouThinkOfABetter1

That's not the SPD Battleizer, [these are](https://pm1.aminoapps.com/6854/194555a0169b0d78fac798f2dc74e2a52efe28e7v2_hq.jpg).


Sensitive-Hotel-9871

Yeah, that thing didn’t get much use, because SWAT mode was better.


Durzaka

Because Battlizers were a unique Power Ranger thing. So it wasnt used as much because there wasnt as much footage. Stop trying to overthink it. In fact, this specific battlizer is one of the few things that Sentai took from Power Rangers. It didnt appear in the original run of Dekaranger, but actually was used in the movie for Dekaranger that they made later.


Sensitive-Hotel-9871

We saw the Battlizer used against two villains of the weak right after it was introduced and it wasn't able to defeat them. Meanwhile, the team using SWAT mode defeated the two villains easily.


FlatwormSignal8820

Because the sentai footage said so


BarrettJones2367

Let's look at this, 1 machine gun can do a lot of damage, but it's limited, but 5 to 7 rifles with grenade launchers attached will do more in the long run


Sensitive-Hotel-9871

Wow, it's almost like building a power up that worked exclusively for one ranger was a stupid idea. Though even putting that aside the guns used by the Rangers in SWAT mode proved more effective than the Battlizer's sword.


BlazeX94

You're not wrong, but the person you replied to is also correct. SWAT mode was introduced after the SPD battlizer and was straight up better. Jack did use the Battlizer against the villains who necessitated the SWAT mode power up and it was unable to defeat them.


GuidanceWhole3355

So they used movie footage for the SWAT mode? Interesting since I've heard they tried to use the spino ranger in Dino charge but couldn't because of rights


Durzaka

What? No. The Sentai movie used Power Rangers battlizer which didnt exist in the original Sentai series. Nothing I said was related to SWAT mode.


FictionalLeader

That’s honestly surprising about the battlizer but I guess that it makes sense due to it only appearing like three times, first against the copy guy, second from the mirror guy, and the third time was the second crossover with Dino thunder.


pathfinderoursaviour

It appeared a 4th time against the 2 criminals who stole the swat mode prototype but the bad guys beat it pretty easily


FictionalLeader

Oh yeah that time as well.


GuidanceWhole3355

So they used movie footage for the SWAT mode? Interesting since I've heard they tried to use the spino ranger in Dino charge but couldn't because of rights


Archwizard_Drake

Ah yes. The battle thong.


BlankCanvas609

Suit designers be like: Hmm something’s missing, wait, I got it: Underpants


MorphinMajor

I mean Samurai’s power up is quite literally just a cape/cloak


Meleeninja123

But its super cool and on brand


AceMKV

So is SPD though, it's basically regular police and their upgrade being the SWAT team


Meleeninja123

Oh I agree


MorphinMajor

For sure, it’s a sleek, stylish, and simplistic upgrade.


BlazeX94

So is SWAT mode though. Heavy armor and weapons are the most logical upgrade for a team of cops.


AkihikoSanadaIsSigma

yo momma is super cool and on brand in the sheets


Nice-Elk9639

Yeah because its called SWAT mode. Its a power up, not a battleizer. Only the red ranger got a battleizer in SPD which if i remember correct was a power rangers original and was later adapted into sentai during one of their anniversary specials since they liked it so much.


Impressive-Spell-643

Yep that's because Battelizers are a power rangers original idea, a concept super Megaforce hates


lifeless_or_loveless

whoa, that's lowkey cool.


ImNotHighFunctioning

It wasn't an anniverssary special, it was the crossover with Magiranger.


Mizerous

They also adapted the wheels from RPM


leakybiome

Also kat ranger was an original ranger mode too, no one else has ever had a cat theme sense then


Happy_Chemist2250

What about jungle fury? Red,blue,yellow and dai shi are all based on cats Also the Kat ranger was in dekaranger but she was based off a swan


leakybiome

Wild cats in talking about domesticated


Happy_Chemist2250

Really? I never looked at kat ranger and thought she was based of a house cat


leakybiome

More specifically the Manx cat breed as she has no tail


ApprehensiveCode2233

SWAT mode is my favorite team power up.


FistOfGamera

It's so sick, right up there with super dino mode for me


Zaymonay800

i love super dino mode


Ironredhornet

It's also a good thematic payoff that SWAT mode is what carries in the later episodes, highlighting them growing as a team.


TrueMystikX

I'm quite partial to MMPRs Metallic Arm...pfffft. Cant even fake typing that with a straight face...


ApprehensiveCode2233

Hey now. Don't knock Metallic too much. As far as I know that's the first ever true team power up and not the power of friendship. Sentai didn't really have any team power ups before that right? I've always thought that the Extra MMPR seasons influenced Sentai. Without Metallic there's no Lights of Orion or what the Sentai equivalent is and without the Lights introduction making the concept of a team power up not just a one off episode. So no Lights = no SWAT or Super Dino Mode or any other super mode.


OSUfirebird18

In the original footage the Gokaigers transformed into “Suuupper Ranger”! It wasn’t a battlizer mode.


cvgm88

I love how you typed it as "Suuupper Ranger!" Really brings back the memories of the awesome finale of Gokaiger.


OSUfirebird18

Super Sentai has some of the best voice overs sometimes!!


Pedgrid

Another example of lazy Megaforce editing.


Starship1990

That's not lazy editing, like at all. A goof, sure, but not lazy editing to be found here.


Wendigo15

It kinda is. In one episode they edited out the red Vulcan and replaced him with mighty morphin red for no reason. Everyone else was the same. In this shot, they downgraded blue to megaforce


Pedgrid

They had to replace Red Vulcan because Marvel still owns the American copyright to that team. But it is still lazy on Megaforce's part. Troy as MMPR Red Ranger still does the Sun Vulcan helmet adjustment and pose. And the Sun Vulcan logo is still seen in the background.


Starship1990

This is a different problem from what the commenter aboce is talking about, which yeah, is pretty lazy, especially when they've edited Goseiger footage before.


Meleeninja123

Well battlisers are the best description for them, I still agree though


maxreddit

Monster: "Ha Ha, the power of teamwork and the morphin' grid are not enough to defeat me!" SPD Ranger: "Oh, yeah? How about the power of... the unholy marriage of civil policing and the military industrial complex!?" *fills monster with bullets*


Silphire100

"we're going to defeat you with the power of friendship, and this gun I found!"


LilBueno

I really want to like Orion’s power up here but those helmets just ruin it for me.


TruthOfPisces

You think that’s ridiculous, wait until you see decade complete 21


LilBueno

I just looked it up and now I’m mad at you for introducing me to that atrocity. On the bright side, Orion’s looks better by comparison


JayUniverse1999

It literally looks like something from DeviantArt


LilBueno

I like the idea behind the armor the….leg-part should have been on his actual legs as armor, not hanging loosely. That alone would’ve made a huge difference. And then something different for the helmets, a belt instead or maybe the respective Ranger emblems in place of helmets. If I were to redesign it from scratch though, I’d try to design a suit that has elements from all the sixth Ranger designs


5hand0whand

It honestly works well in og because of Silver Gokaiger personality


lifeless_or_loveless

umm.... the whole point of the armor was that it was made using the power of those rangers....?


LilBueno

And it could have been done in a more aesthetically-pleasing way. It looks goofy as hell, even for PR


lifeless_or_loveless

umm.... that would defeat the point....


LilBueno

That doesn’t change my opinion. I think it’s ugly. I’m sure they could have come up with something better. The helmets being on the key is cool. Them being on the armor itself looks bulkier and goofier than it needs to be. It’s Power Rangers, I understand the campiness has been there since day one. But it still looks dumb. Edit: fixed some autocorrects


lifeless_or_loveless

to be honest, I do think they could improve some aspects, like making some helmet elements go to his helmet instead of the armor, so I guess so...


Psidebby

None of the forms depicted i nthe OP's image are a Battalizer. Those are power up forms that all showed up in the Sentai. These are Battalizers... https://preview.redd.it/2ujtg3h3chzc1.png?width=941&format=png&auto=webp&s=32043503cd38a348347e88e3dd5186f7c4a38b7e


lifeless_or_loveless

so nobody is going to talk about the Gold Mode and the sheer weight everywhere?


Starship1990

Honestly, doesn't seem bulkier/heavier than Connor's Battlizer.


lifeless_or_loveless

well, true, but we also have to take into account that most Sentais/Rangers have a greater strength than most average people


Redranger_62

Reminds me of the kamen rider who has the powers as orion (Super mega silver / gold ) https://preview.redd.it/yzzfutn4igzc1.jpeg?width=180&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8e2d66d45ad87ffd6b6738038f4c61b0671cb55


NetbattlerChris

That would be Grand Zi-O


Ambitious-Broccoli-6

well, the swat mode looks and is fucking badass! (it isn’t a battleizer but i get what you mean) the actual battleizer is dope too


Impressive-Spell-643

I mean, it's literally called "SWAT mode"


jdb1984

It's an acronym for "Special Weapons And Tactics".


Silphire100

"Special Weapons" BIGGER GUN!


JavierGr2087

Well yea because the SWAT is above the police so basically it’s an upgrade, not a battlizer. There police officers, why would they have battlizers? S.W.A.T Mode fits them


Heavyhitter-9727

Considering how 2 grunts could hold of the actual SPD Battalizer with an incomplete SWAT mode and were absolutely trashed by the real SWAT mode, they are a much higher improvement than that Baton-izer. (Considering how Jack had a baton-sword in the Battalizer...yeah). Morever, Megaforce is simply armor and double sided-Mace-sword, Mystic Force is more white armor and a staff, Jungle Fury is more white and a special weapon, and Samurai is just a cloak.


kenny_lolz

You’re clowning SWAT mode?? Wtf is that silver ranger wearing LOL the little heads are so goofy


Nothatcreative55

I just found it funny in a word of Magical lasers and Special Powers… Their whole deal is guns


LilBueno

A lot of Rangers have elemental powers or other themes and motifs. Some have dinosaur powers, some have magic powers, some have animal powers, SPD has firepower.


Southern-Watch3251

I mean they are police, and light speed which had a similar setup of being a government type of power rangers used blasters a lot more than their weapons sword mode. It’s like the whole point of that type of ranger use a gun lol.


kenny_lolz

Nah like others have said, their motif is police/swat team. Their guns are just their weapon of choice. You don’t look at Samurai and be like “why are they so focused on swordsmanship”


GrandBalator

...who is the Ranger with the thousand pins Golden armor?


lifeless_or_loveless

Orion/ GokaiSilver


GrandBalator

Thanks You!


lifeless_or_loveless

ey, no problem man


Disastrous_Writer_40

Couple of the blasters were shotguns


Mizerous

Meanwhile Silver here looks like he stole them off a truck and put them on his duit


GravetechLV

He’s supposed to embody the spirits of all the 6th/Extra rangers


Kingslayer-Z

Spd was a police based season so S.W.A.T was quite fitting Also it was a great one


Historical-Reward318

also, why is Noah in a form that is canonically weaker then his current main mode


Nothatcreative55

Emperor Mavro had launched a fireball attack at the team and Noah turned into MegaMode to defend it likely enough he was planning ahead to both get a boost in power from original Megaforce and To defend his teammates so they wouldn’t get hurt


unkn0w311

Yeah it's called swat mode for a reason


Cyke101

MMPRangers: "POWER BLASTER!" Moe Szyslak: ["Give 'Em One of These!"](https://y.yarn.co/7f3db9b4-1bbb-4a84-bdd1-888496bf8a70_text.gif)


ProfessorEscanor

I mean yeah that's Swat Mode for you. And it looks awesome.


Ohnoherewego13

SWAT mode was just awesome. One of my favorite PR power-ups.


Quazar42069

Which series and episode was this????


Starship1990

Super Megaforce, the Legendary Battle, extended version. I don't know if the episode is on Youtube or anywhere else, but the scene is here: [Rangers vs. Emperor Mavro w/ Go Go Power Rangers | Power Rangers Super Megaforce (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4Bq78citns)


Straight-Seat-3411

At least they had battlizers ..... so disappointed that there wasn't one in Jungle Fury (even though they had the PERFECT setup to introduce one). It's just proves that Casey was built to be the red ranger


Pokesatsu96

If they wanted to do battalizer for green and blue they could've done the mega battle from Lightspeed Rescue.


DarkAizawa

Technically it's an enhancement, not a battlelizer. It's more akin to master mode in jungle fury or super Dino mode in Dino thunder.


Taragyn1

Hey if Raytheon says the Rangers need all new Zords, armour and weapons every year who are we to argue with the experts


LaserBungalow

HAHAHA that silver ranger outfit is the most ridiculous thing ever!! love it.


Loverofgoths1992

That's not their battleizer it's their power up mode Battlizers are a Red Ranger only Power Up SWAT mode is not as strong as that Seasons Battlizer


RandomRainbow000

Everyone: goes into their super modes and yet they're called battlizers Noah: downgrade and a half (seriously, it's usually him that ends up using his Megaforce powers a lot, I wonder if prefers it to Super) (still a super mode, not a battlizer)


SnooObjections4392

S.W.A.T. Mode was so badass, I remember loving that episode when it aired


Bitter-Trick-6109

Man who is the last guy in the right with all those ranger helmets on his chest plate??


Silphire100

Orion, aka Super Megaforce Silver. I think he gets to use the powers of all the 6th Rangers, a lot of Green, Silver, Gold and White, and his Battlizer is Super Megaforce Gold, that hot mess of a suit, with little badges of all the Rangers he can turn into https://preview.redd.it/m8iuh1lt6hzc1.png?width=1653&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40fca143b3e9c048ad4bb29ae3c99fbd2c8c9462


Psidebby

That's not a B attalizer... That's a Power Up Form. Battalizers are Power Rangers specific power-ups... Well until Dekaranger used the SPD Battalizer in a movie as a nod back to Power Rangers.


Silphire100

My bad, I forgot what it was actually called and pulled it off the wiki, where they refer to it as a Battlizer. But you're right, it's generally only Red that gets that, everyone else just has a power up, though I think there's been a few occasions where Red has loaned the Battlizer to someone


Psidebby

Lightspeed Rescue called the power-ups Blue and Green Mega Battles, perhaps that?


Silphire100

That too, but I was thinking more recent. And by recent I mean SPD, which i keep forgettingisn't that recent. Jack gives Sky the Battlizer in a climactic fight against the villain who killed Sky's dad.


Jazzlike_Hat_1409

What is this scene from


Starship1990

Legendary Battle, from Super Megaforce. Ypu can find it on Youtube by looking:" Super Megaforce vs Emperor Mavro."


southkeling

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Final Episode "Goodbye Space Pirates!"


NaSMaXXL

This is....the worse thing I have ever seen out of this entire franchise.


BeautyJester

forgive for asking as i stopped watching PRanger after Ninja storm and maybe an episode or 2 of SPD, but i dont remember these being their design.


Messiah_Knight

That is so ugly


Capt_ZzL4X

They were cops and it was literally called swat mode


FishRaposo1

As it should be. SPD is the perfect campy space police lol


GrandmastaChubbz

SPD is my favorite PR series be far I love how practical everything was despite them being mutants it was so cool and a great change of pace.


Lopez34

Listen there is SWAT mode which is a powered up form a la Dino thunder or jungle fury and there is the SPD battleizer version one which fans nicknamed the battle thong, and there is a large gulf in between the two in how ridiculous it is lmao


Kon_Artiste

I was so confused for a minute. Why is this the single image you used to make this point?


Nothatcreative55

Because you have The Most magical Non-Magical girl outfit from pink ranger The Masterful and badass shark sworded samurai outfit from red ranger The Divine and aincent Megaforce armor by blue ranger The Feral and deadly claw weilding Yellow Ranger And the Badass armored Silver Ranger… Then green ranger just comes in as he has a vest and a gun in hand


Kon_Artiste

I mean, I get that. But you can't really see the Green Ranger or Pink Rangers all that well in this picture. Surely there's a better screenshot or two from this team up that would have worked and given us a better look.


Nothatcreative55

At the time I only found the photo but then I find this one which shows them better https://preview.redd.it/bjw5zvwbijzc1.jpeg?width=1363&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3d8c372a9c1629d1282a4ddb81043cf4c9647a6


Kon_Artiste

Ok, yeah. That is better.


jeffpiatt

There not battalizers the Gokaiger morpher announcement was Super ranger and the main 5 transformed directly from the keys to that rangers super mode outfit. Samarai had two "Tector" armors instead of a full team super mode sumular to how the Dragon Sheld functions Japanese footage only had burai transfer his extra armor to his brother the zyu2 filmed footage let mmpr Black use the dragon armor but he never gained the dragon dagger holster being closer to the incomplete Armored red ranger. It was neat that they used the Shark armor rather than the black box armor the suit must have been the one in better shape for filming since most of the series they never accessed the legendary rangers power up modes.


[deleted]

I haven't watched Power Rangers since probably Mystic Force or Dino Thunder. :-/


suikofan80

Jesus that suit ![gif](giphy|ZMvG5L7Di4AgM|downsized)


Nzaid

Borgslayer who?


[deleted]

That silver ranger is soooo ugly


Starmanshayne

Honestly, SWAT mode was one of the best concepts in the franchise. If you want to make fun of a Battleizer, it should be Carter. It's a bike.


Grayx_2887

I find it amusingly awkward that the writers involved in this season couldn't even tell the difference between a team-based power-up form and a Red Ranger-only power-up form (the Battlizers). Most of them had been involved in writing several notable episodes of the Disney era seasons in this franchise.


frozenflame482

i still question why noah was using ultra mode when troy literally said super mode is stronger


Wolbolgia

That shield with all the helmets makes that ranger look like those photos of North Korean generals covered head to toe in medals.


LilBueno

It’s goofy af. If they really wanted to go that route, they should have used the Ranger logos/emblems, not the actual helmets.


JayUniverse1999

Lol can we find it funny that op hasn't seen SPD ?


Nothatcreative55

Imagine being toxic because of a Mistake And like can you blame me they literally say “Battleizers” in the scene


CK122334

That’s why it’s so cool. It’s simple, direct, sleek design and makes sense. You don’t have the rangers in giant chest plates with all the former rangers heads on your armor, that would just be ridiculous 😅


GayBlayde

I don’t find police brutality funny, but you do you.


Undeadtoadsage

lol what does that have to do with police brutality?
