Zords In Power Rangers Wild Force
The Zords of Power Rangers Wild Force, called Wild Zords, were fully sentient creatures that had existed for thousands of years (similar to the Galactabeasts of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy). They demonstrated more personality and free will than any of the previous Zords and can communicate with the Rangers using telepathy. These are the first Zords to use an auxiliary Zord system, in which arms and legs can be changed out. This would be seen again in Power Rangers Ninja Storm when the Samurai Star MegaZord becomes the right arm of the Storm MegaZord, Power Rangers Dino Thunder with auxiliary Dino Zords and Power Rangers Operation Overdrive with the DriveMax Zords.
Wild Force features the largest number of Zords seen in a single Power Rangers season, with 23 seen in action and another 4 distinctly named, for a total of 27. Its Sentai equivalent, Gaoranger was said to have 100 distinct mecha; while that number was never stated during Wild Force, it was later confirmed to be the same number. Wild Force is also unique in the interchangeability of the Zords, forming several different types of Megazords and exchanging Zords between those different forms. Several of the forms of the Megazords were formed by the Rangers putting together whatever Zords they had access to at the time.
The Wild Zords are controlled with Animal Crystals, small crystal balls that are the color of the Zord with an image of the Zord inside. The Rangers gain a Wild Zord's crystal when they earn its trust. Those crystals are placed in the Rangers' Crystal Sabers to summon the Wild Zords. If a Ranger lost a crystal, they lost control of that Zord. The crystal also represents the life of a Wild Zord, and if a Zord was destroyed, the crystal would then shatter.
Sometimes, when the Rangers assemble their Megazords, they use a variation (i.e. they form Wild Force Megazord without the Bison Wild Zord). To compensate, the Rangers summon the Soul Bird, which flies in through the Megazord's back.

Famous quotes containing the words power, wild and/or force:
“The power to guess the unseen from the seen, to trace the implications of things, to judge the whole piece by the pattern, the condition of feeling life in general so completely that you are well on your way to knowing any particular corner of it—this cluster of gifts may almost be said to constitute experience.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Ah! I have penetrated to those meadows on the morning of many a first spring day, jumping from hummock to hummock, from willow root to willow root, when the wild river valley and the woods were bathed in so pure and bright a light as would have waked the dead, if they had been slumbering in their graves, as some suppose. There needs no stronger proof of immortality. All things must live in such a light. O Death, where was thy sting? O Grave, where was thy victory, then?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The event combined with
Beams leading up to it for the look of force adapted to the wiser
Usages of age, but it’s both there
And not there, like washing or sawdust in the sunlight,
At the back of the mind, where we live now.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
