ClawZord
The ClawZord, known as the Claw Battlezord while in combat mode, was a Zord that could be summoned via a disc found inside the Black Box.
History[edit | edit source]
In 150,082 CMT, Zev Raregroove opened the Black Box in his Kirin Ranger form and gained multiple new abilities, including the power to summon the ClawZord. Zev found that the Black Box contained two technological discs on a peg - he placed the first disc around his katana's hilt and attached the Black Box to the back of the katana as he prepared to face another wave of Serrator's demons. Zev uttered the words "Demon-Killing Phase", which caused his ranger suit to gain a long white coat with golden-orange threadwork, and struck down multiple demons with one single swing of the Black Box-powered katana.[1]
Impressed, Zev wondered what other uses the Black Box had and spun the disc that he had placed on his katana, causing the ClawZord to appear above his allies in a golden flash of light. For reasons unknown, Zev found that he already knew exactly how to pilot the Zord and teleported into its cockpit, where he inserted his katana into a small slot in front of him and spun a small wheel (akin to a prize wheel) until its pointer landed on a picture of a silver face with green eyes and a red mask resembling lobster claws. As Zev pushed his katana further into the slot, the ClawZord transformed into its Claw Battlezord East configuration, which Zev found he could control by moving his katana around in the slot like a joystick. The CBZ East proceeded to disarm two attacking demons and swat them away before pummelling another demon with a karate chop and kicking a fourth across the battlefield. Three more demons tried to attack the CBZ East with staves, but a series of punches from the CBZ East knocked them through the air. Zev then spun the wheel again until its pointer settled on a red kanji, activating the CBZ East's pincers.[1]
The two pincers on the CBZ East's shoulders then flipped down to cover its hands, enabling the CBZ East to use them to rapidly strike at and shred all of the remaining demons into pieces. However, reinforcements arrived in the form of several large winged demons that emerged from portals and divebombed the CBZ East. Zev spun the wheel again until it landed on a depiction of a blue face, which caused the Claw Battlezord to switch into its South configuration. The Claw Battlezord South drew a pair of katana from its sides and cut down some of the winged demons, but more appeared and stumbled the CBZ South with sustained fire. In response, Zev powered up the Battlezord with some of his Kirin Ranger power, which granted it the ability to launch slicing energy shockwaves at the flying demons. Many demons fell to these destructive shockwaves, but even more appeared and began to dodge the CBZ South's attacks with greater ease until they were able to fire a pair of energy beams that hit the CBZ South with enough force to knock it over. Zev then fled the Claw Battlezord, causing it to disappear.[1]
