And now, it's time for a Death Battle.

It's telling that Voltron needed to throw EVERYTHING he had at the Megazord to win.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Subverted. When Voltron's left arm is frozen and immobilized, Lance blocks the Megazord's finishing strike with Voltron's right arm, destroying the Red Lion and possibly killing him. According to WordOfGod, he survived.]]

The Megazord is a 333 foot monstrosity with enough power to tear down buildings effortlessly. Sometimes unintentionally. Among its arsenal are a cranial laser, firing fireballs from its hands, using the Mastadon's head as a shield and, its greatest weapon, the Power Sword, which can recharge the Megazord when it's low on power and capable of not only striking down foes with an energy slash, but also redirect energy to its opponent. Beyond that, the Megazord is strong enough to lift the Dragonzord effortlessly over its head and into a mountain range. The Zords are durable enough to hold the weight of various monsters and the Megazord itself is powerful enough to gut punch a monster into the air. Or [[Film/PowerRangers2017 probably knock someone into orbit.]]

The Megazord has the upper hand at first, managing to use its superior size and close range combat. Voltron retaliates with spinning laser blades and optic blasts, but the Megazord's shield deflects the latter and summon the Power Sword, which strikes Voltron in the back. Taking the sword, the Megazord knocks Voltron into a wall, forcing Keith to have Voltron form the Blazing Sword. Both robots use their iconic finishing attacks... and they just cancel each other out. Kimberley notes that they should have won by now. Both robots then duel with their swords, but the Megazord knocks the Blazing Sword away, forcing Voltron to fight without it. While it does well at first, the Megazord backs Voltron into a wall, where it freezes the Green Lion to the wall and makes its move. Lance takes a blow, forcing the red lion to detach. Voltron breaks free and Pidge's Lion head flies to reclaim the sword. The rest of the Lion Force holds the Megazord back with an onslaught of blasts, too much for the Rangers to redirect. With the Blazing Sword in its possession once more, Voltron strikes the Megazord, destroying it and the Rangers.

While the Megazord was superior in size and close range combat, there's a reason why Voltron is known as the Defender of the Universe. Voltron's greater range of weapons, flight and speed gave it the edge. The Megazord is strong enough to punch a monster presumably 10,000 tons over 100 feet into the air, while Voltron once kicked a Robeast that weighed 3,900 tons 1,900 feet up. While the Megazord's opponent weighed more, Voltron's feat is technically more impressive, as it would require at least 5 and 1/2 times more strength. Voltron showed being able to survive black hole level gravity, meanings its durability was beyond what the Megazord is capable of. As proof, in season 2 of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, they gain a new Megazord called the Thunder Megazord, which was said to be more powerful than the original Megazord in every way. When this new Megazord battled against the gigantic Zord known as Serpenterra, which has the power to destroy entire planets, a single blast immediately took down the Thunder Megazord, that blast wasn't even half of Serpenterra's power. Ultimately, Voltron outclassed the Megazord in every way that counted: speed, strength and durability.

* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: The fight begins when Hunk goes out to the greet the Power Rangers in his Yellow Lion. The Rangers mistake the Voltron Lions as enemies and immediately go on the warpath, causing the Voltron pilots to retaliate.

* CoolSword: Both mechas finish their opponents by summoning their respective blades.

Ready to take down the evil Zarkon and his Robeasts, this 300 feet robot is armed with all sorts of weapons and abilities. From shooting stingray missiles, to shooting fire out of the lion heads, and weapons it can manifest out of thin air, including its most powerful weapon... the Blazing Sword. This blade has been used to destroy every Robeast the team has battled and can recharge Voltron with electricity. The Blazing Sword can even destroy a satellite bigger than Voltron itself. Even without its weapons, Voltron is tough enough to kick monsters sky high and survive explosions the size of countries. Not only can it fly, it can travel between galaxies in less than day. Voltron itself once survived landing on the Omega Comet, which has the gravitation force of a black hole.

From days of long ago, from uncharted reaches of the universe, comes a legend... or about 1200 years ago, the Drule Empire came incredibly close to ruling the known universe until a group of sorcerers and scientists banded together to forge a mighty warrior known as Voltron. Voltron proved effective in stopping the Empire, but in desperation, an evil witch casted a spell meant to kill Voltron. Instead, it was split into five lions and robbed of its sentience. All hope seemed lost until five explorers crash-landed on Planet Arus, the same planet the lions crashed at, and were given a chance to pilot them by Princess Allura. Together, Keith, Lance, Hunk, Pidge and Sven--[[KilledOffForReal er...]] ''Allura'' became the mighty Voltron Force, Defender of the Universe
