-Samurai Ranger suit serves as armor for him
-Allows him to activate and access his Zords

ZORDS
-Antonio like all power Rangers has access to robotic entities with animal sentience
-Like other Zords in the Samurai Series, his Zords usually stay in a smaller form that can be easily carried around
-All three of his Zords have sentience (Two of them being like animals in most aspects)
-All three can be turned into giant forms in various size
-Two of them are capable of taking Mech Forms
    -The Mech Forms are capable of fighting in close quarters combat with Giant Nighloks
    -Capable of destroying buildings

-Comes with a OctoDisc to activate it in giant form
-Is 136 feet tall and weighs 900 tons
-Can fly around at high speeds
-Can also produce ink
-Is the only one of Antonio's Zords that don't have a specific Mech Form

-In its Animal Battleform is 129 feet tall and weighs 2000 tons
-Can move around at speeds of 650 kilometers per hour
-Has a Mech Zord form
    -Technically four, which form it takes is depending on the random chance of a spinning wheel in its cockpit
    
-Is 186 feet tall in mech form
    -Shares the same weight and speed of the normal Animal Form


East Mode Samurai ClawZord
-Is the form taken more often than not

West Mode Samurai ClawZord
-Instead of using its claws, uses its own tail as a giant fan
-Can create strong winds

LightZord
-Antonio's last Zord
-Shrunken form is LZ (See above)

-Can also compress the section of its body that's a lantern to make itself shorter, or as a way to avoid attacks

    -However when the situation requires it he knows when to be serious
-Unlike the other rangers doesn't use power discs in actual ground combat
-Doesn't have a Super Form for ground combat
    -Or at least never used it
-Requires his Samurai Morpher to transform
-Despite training himself alone, is more accustomed to fighting in a team 
-Zords are not indestructible
-Zords are potentially vulnerable in their shrunken form
-When unmorphed is just human, meaning a fatal wound could kill him easy
-Zords are better off being combined with the rest of the Samurai Team's Zords 
I'll admit right off the bat that this probably isn't gonna be my best bio. Despite my progressively increasing interest thanks to Linkara's Rangers Retrospective along with the recent Death Battle featuring the original team, I'm not exactly deep Power Rangers fan (I've admitted to some friends that despite not seeing much of it either, I'm definitely more of a Kamen Rider Guy than Sentai or Power Rangers).

So why did I make this bio?

Well two reasons.

A. I was watching Linkara's History of Power Rangers as it covered the Samurai Ranger's Series. I got to the segment that introduced Antonio and he interested me more than the other rangers.

B. If you were to ask me what my first exposure to Power Rangers was, and for likely a good portion of my earlier years (And hell, maybe even in the future a few times), I'd likely say Power Rangers Samurai. Well that's not actually the truth, in actually if I dig deep back in to my mind I'd say the earliest exposure to the franchise I had was with Power Ranger's Dino Thunder (Probably the wrong name).

But why did I always bring up Samurai? Well for one, Dino Thunder was so long ago that I almost forgot that it was my first while typing this, and the series I remember most after that was Jungle Fury. But Samurai was the series I admittedly (Even as a kid when I hated all things Power Rangers simply cause it was live action) watched it on a consistent basis, though I never finished it. It was more than likely cause there was nothing on Cartoon Network, or maybe cause there would be something on after Samurai that I didn't want to forget about.

But I watched it enough that it sort of burrowed into my mind, and while it wasn't very influential to my childhood it did sort of cement itself with me. Hell it's probably the thing that relit my small interest in the series (Relit because I did actually enjoy Jungle Fury, however for a long time I had completely forgotten about it until Samurai).

So in summation, B. Is that I just have nostalgia for Samurai, and Gold is cool bruh.

If you wanna use this bio (And likely make revisions if you're more adept with Power Rangers stuff than me), just credit me, no need to ask permission

Ah, Antonio. One of the three parts of Power Rangers Samurai that were actually interesting. The other two being Lauren and Bulk and Spike's antics.
