you mean aside from the battleborgs looking like pretty much the exact same thing as the shogun zords but thinner? Also, didn't they control shogun and Ninja zord at some point?

Regardless of the Battleborgs looking similar to the ninjazords due to footage, in the show their powers were different. And the only reason they used the shogunzords was because Billy & Alpha rigged things so they could if needed, since they were there to fill in. Doesn't mean they had the same powers, cause they didn't.

The writers actually navigated that pretty well.

The Battleborgs were a gift to the Alien Rangers from Ninjor, and the Shogunzords were activated by Finster using technology taken from the Falconzord, which was obviously a gift to the Power Rangers from Ninjor. So that explained their similar appearance.
