Zords in Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue
The
Zords used in
Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue were colossal machines (initially emergency vehicles) constructed by Operation Lightspeed and maintained by
Angela Fairweather, then piloted by the
Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers.
The first fleet of Zords used in
Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue were emergency vehicles sent in to help the citizens of Mariner Bay as well as fighting evil.

Pyro Rescue 1, a fire truck Zord controlled by
Carter Grayson.

Hydro Rescue 2, a aqua vehicle Zord controlled by
Chad Lee.

Aero Rescue 3, a rescue jet Zord controlled by
Joel Rawlings.

Haz Rescue 4, a hazard vehicle Zord controlled by
Kelsey Winslow.

Med Rescue 5, an ambulance Zord controlled by
Dana Mitchell.
The Zords are carried from the Lightspeed Aquabase to the city via the Rail Rescues, a huge train using the Mariner Bay rail network to deliver the
Rescuezords to the scene of the battle. Hydro Rescue 2, Haz Rescue 4 and Med Rescue 5 could combine to form the
Hydro Mode, which could walk (Aqua Rescue being the hips and the other two zords as legs) and put out fires, or distract the attacking monster while the other Zords carried out a rescue mission. These Zords shared their name with the Rescuezords from
Power Rangers: Turbo.
Lightspeed Megazord
The primary Megazord of the Lightspeed Rangers. A combination of the Rescuezords; Aero Rescue would hoist Pyro Rescue on top of the Hydro Mode, or alternately Pyro Rescue would pre-emptively form the arms with its double-ladders and hoist
itself onto the Hydro Mode. Aero Rescue would complete the
Lightspeed Megazord by forming the head. This Megazord used its extendible arms to punch and grab a monster at distance. Like most Megazords, it uses a powerful saber slash to defeat monsters with its
Lightspeed Megazord Saber. The Lightspeed Megazord was damaged badly by Diabolico and Olympius. It is unknown if it was repaired after the battle.
It was soon revealed by
Angela Fairweather that the
Rail Rescues were in fact Zords themselves. Although incapable of fighting in their own right, they could combine to form a powerful Megazord.
Supertrain Megazord
By running off a raised rail section and becoming airborne, the Rail Rescues could combine to form the
Supertrain Megazord. As the Rail Rescues were large enough to house the Rescuezords, the Supertrain Megazord was substantially larger than the other Megazords. It had missiles and an ion turbine weapon at its disposal. At first larger than its opponents, some later monsters were grown even larger to combat the Supertrain Megazord. Unfortunately, due to the massive output needed to power the Zords in their Megazord form, the Supertrain often overcharged itself which resulted in the Rangers being injured from within the cockpit. During its initial battle, the Megazord nearly tore itself apart, overloading twice by using its weapons. The Supertrain was destroyed by Diabolico and Olympius.
A shuttle-type Zord pilotted by
Ryan Mitchell, the Titanium Ranger. The
Max Solarzord could become a warrior to fight with, or combine with the Lightspeed Megazord to become the Lightspeed Solarzord. It could also launch the Rail Rescues into space (see below). When the Titanium Ranger left the team, the Max Solarzord was controlled via remote-control by the Battle Boosters by the other Rangers. The large solar-panels on its body were its main source of power, which in turn meant the Zord was useless at night. It was damaged badly by Diabolico and Olympius.
Lightspeed Solarzord
The Lightspeed Megazord and Max Solarzord could combine into the
Lightspeed Solarzord. In this form, the Solarzord could absorb energy from the sun or enemy attacks to charge its weapons. The main weapons are two cannons mounted on the hips, which when fully charged can destroy almost anything.
Launched from the Rail Rescues, the
Omegazords are deployed in space, and can combine to form the Omega Crawler, later the Omega Megazord.

Omega Crawler
The
Omega Crawler was first used to stop an asteroid headed for Mariner Bay.
Omega Megazord
The
Omega Megazord is created after the Omegazords formed the Omega Crawler. Its main weapon is a powerful staff that unleashes the
Omega Missile Blast as its final move. It can also use the Lightspeed Megazord Saber. During the battle against Trakeena on Earth, the Omega Megazord was temporarily infused with the
Lights of Orion Armor. This Megazord was damaged by the Super Demons, but repaired by the Demon forces and used for a special ceremony. Carter and Ryan crashed the MAV into the torso of it in the finale, causing its arms to fall of, its torso to explode and its legs break apart into pecies.
The
Lifeforce Megazord, while it unusually could not separate into individual Zords, resembled a black version of the Lightspeed Solarzord. It fed off the Rangers' lifeforces when in battle. As such, it fought only once. Unlike the Lightspeed Solarzord, it was armed with the
Lifeforce Megazord Saber similar to the Lightspeed Megazord's. It was later commandeered and used to attack the Aquabase, The rangers commanded a sub and fired a torpedoes at it, causing it to fall to the ground and expole from water pressure.
Certain members of the fandom have suggested that the Lightspeed and Supertrain Megazords may not have been destroyed, as is commonly accepted. In the episode, "The Fate of Lightspeed, Part 1", a monitor can be seen with images of work crews recovering Zord components that look more intact that the components of past destroyed Megazords, which some have taken to mean that they were not beyond repair, and might have been had Lightspeed not ended. However, due to the evolving nature of the Power Rangers series, even if they could be considered to be canonically "active", it is unlikely that they will reappear in the future. It's possible, though very unlikely, that
Lightspeed and
Space Patrol Delta are one and the same. For instance, both share a:
