The mech toy looks like cheap plastic and rear end, and I have basically 2 hopes for it:

1) The non-symmetrical all-vertical style to it means the trains combine on the tracks instead of in the air or something.
2) The mech fight choreography is far and away better than we've seen from Sentai recently.

3) Train nunchucks

Even if the design is weird people should, in my opinion, be happy because it is a continuation away from the "default" "body and limbs are different mechs" design that we seemed to almost universally get with five member teams from about the mid90s to late 2000s.

Two thirds of the body not being red's mech sort of is a big deal. I can't recall when last his bot was this insubstantial in the basic robot's form.

Kakuranger is still the most dramatic example. Going from the core to right arm is pretty dramatic.

Just watched the last Megaforce episode. It was actually pretty good! Surprising ending too, Vrak still hasn't gone to the final Bladerun form and the Gokaiger army starts attacking. I wonder if they'll use the Goseiger final battle footage in Super Megaforce? And if the armada is already attacking, how will they save the Legend War for the end of Super Megaforce? So many questions.

Well remember there that the base form, whether you consider that to be RBY or RBY with green and black as the arms, still had red as the chest and head piece. Not exactly insubstantial.

The top of the chest, sure, but it's not like it's just adding mechs to lengthen it's legs and arms like most other 5-part combinations.

If they had broken up Blue and Green a bit colour wise in the upper half, he'd actually look really cool. It's just the gigantic solid block chunks lined up in the shape of a robot that's kind of jarring.

You can do uniform design without making them loving massive overly simplified blocks of color. Hell, for an example of this look at Gokaiger.

Gokaiger was also mostly consistent about who turned into what, and they changed costumes at the same time. Big difference between that adn everyone wearing the same design in different colors that change all the time.

GoBusters. Almost all of CB-01 is covered by the others.

EDIT: Unless you meant how little it contributes. In which case I point out Hurricanger's red is just the head. :v:

And Yellow takes up probably the largest portion of any mech ever. He's like 85% of the drat thing.

It's not even attached to Dragon Caesar in that form, and it's just a breastplate on Daizyujin. How is that breastplate any different than FčnghuángRanger's belt?

Well, it just completely completes the look and is the major center piece of the entire Megazord.

And not a goddamn belt where most of it is on the back.

See, this second post seems like a better response to the first than to mine, to be honest. Sounds like what you're saying is that Guardian Beast Pteranodon is purely ornamental (though so central that it certainly doesn't look right without it), but despite not looking like much Mythical Qi Beast Fčnghuáng zhī xīng serves a vital structural purpose!

Kyoryuger keeps outdoing its roll calls with each episode. If they keep up this pace we'll have objectively the best roll call in all of sentai ever by the end of the series.

I think every one of the Main 6 Kyoryugers has a Deboss Legion member to pair up in an antagonistic relationship (with the exception of one) with the exception of Souji.

Edit: Finished watching the latest episode. It's a shame that Yuuko (Nossan's sister) didn't become a Kyoryuger, but then again she was already in a sentai previously as DekaYellow which gets a nod in this episode.

Man what a great episode. Some great character development and plot set up and some of the best Costume gags I've seen in Sentai.

Souji trying to quickly loosen his jacket made me lose it.

And hopefully this all ends with a happy ending for Nossan and Heart Girl, but given all that poo poo with Endorf, Black Eye Sad KNight, and Chaos I wouldn't be surprised if it used this as a bit of a stepping stone for a darker twist for the climax.

Nossan's cover story for Ramires "Oh yes, he's my foreign friend that loves anime and cosplays". I'm not sure whether to be offended or not.

EDIT: Shotgun-Utchy is quite possibly the best thing ever. This is truly a magical experience.
