Sentient machines yes, but not Zords. Despite having vehicular forms, the way their systems function is actually more closely related to the Alpha units than to the Zords. And since the purpose of this post is pointless crossovers, they and the Transformers would most likely find it much easier to relate to one another. Because really, here are these two curiously Cybertronian-like vehicles who just happen to lack a robot mode.
If you've ever watched Michael Bay's Transformers movies or the Transformers: Prime cartoon, you're familiar with the versions of Bumblebee who speak in a series of R2-D2-like bleeps and boops (or pithy radio clips, in a pinch). I'd like to think Storm Blaster and Lightning Cruiser use a similar mode of communication and that, with a bit of effort, the Rangers are able to learn that language and 'decode' what the cars are saying.
...Rats, now I want crossover fic in which Justin and Raf from Prime have a heart-to-heart about learning to speak robo-car and being the youngest people on their respective teams. LOOK WHAT YOU DID.
