For Power Rangers Super Megaforce, the Rangers access the powers of past rangers through small figures that change into keys that are placed into their arsenal. The key toys produced by Bandai America are smaller than the ones produced in Japan and Korea. The Japanese keys had three differences: Deluxe (came with zords and arsenal), Gatchapon (came apart and needed stickers, came in capsules), and Candy Toys (came in small boxes). The American keys also have slight differences, this post is highlight some. Forgive some of the images. I don't have Photoshop anymore, I had to use Paint.

Zord Builder Keys - These keys come with morphers, zords, cycles and weapons. They are slightly different from the ones that come with the Legendary Ranger Key Multipacks.

Translucent/Translucent and Glittery/Metallic - At least for Red Ranger, there are different variations. There is translucent (see through), translucent and glittery (which looks like sparkles inside of it) and metallic which is a shiny coat. Translucent Super Mega Red comes with the Legendary Megazord, the translucent and glitter Super Mega Red comes with the Toys R Us Deluxe Training Set and the metallic Super Mega Red comes with the second Legendary Multipack.

Now let's go by some Rangers...
Super Megaforce Red
The jacket 'wings' is what I will call the six gold designs on each side of the torso. The jacket wings are thicker and wider on the Zord Builder Key than on the Multipack key, they are wider but thinner on the Metallic key. The Transulcent keys shows the top lines more. The top lines are higher on the Zord Builder Key. The 'wings' are thicker on the Glittery one. The pirate symbol is bigger on the Metallic key. The helmet is slightly different on the metallic key than the others. The visor is smaller on the Zord Builder and Glittery one. Most of the changes are on the torso and heads. The regular Zord Builder key comes with the Deluxe Legendary Morpher and Red Ranger Training Set. My nephew has the Multipack key, Zord Builder Legendary Morpher key, Legendary Megazord Translucent key, and the Metallic key that comes with the second set of Super Megaforce. Multipack Set B came in the third wave.

Mighty Morphin Red
The Zord Builder Key has white under the arm cuff while the Multipack key has white mid-way of the arm cuff. The white goes over the knee on the Zord Builder key. The Armored Red Ranger in Multipack Set B seems to be a mix of both, the arms are like the Multipack while the legs are the same as the Zord Builder key. The visors also seem to be slightly different on all the heads. The MM ZB key comes with the Deluxe Legendary Morpher. The MMPR Multipack Set A came in the 2nd Wave in the Spring and Set B will come out in the 4th wave in the Fall.
