Debut of Tommy's morphing sequence. While his teammates all shout out their Dinozord's dinosaur name, he instead says, "Dragonzord!", his Zord's full name. Also, the first appearance of his own green-banded communicator.
Footage of the Rangers using their gestures at the rock quarry is later reused (minus Tommy) in season 2 when the Rangers are summoning their Thunderzords.
