OHHHH. They're called Zords because of Zordon

A month shy of my 23rd birthday and I am just now realizing this.

Ever be SUPER late to the party on things like this? It also took me a while to get Mai Valentine's name from Yu-Gi-Oh was a pun. Also the B A STAR thing from WWE, too.

In the original pilot, Zordon was Zoltar. And Zords were called Droids. It's odd how perfect the name zord is for a giant mecha.
