Note: I do have everything up till Lupinranger vs Patranger written up and will be posting those within the next consecutive days.
ToQ-Oh
As far as I can remember, this design was little controversial when it was first revealed. It probably wasn't what most people expected/wanted when ToQger was revealed to be a train themed sentai. While I do still prefer some of the previous train themed mechas that we’ve had in the past, I've warmed up to a lot of ToQ-Oh’s design aspect since it was revealed. The rainbow colour scheme is quite odd but I’ve gotten used to it and it does fit with the aesthetics and themes of the show. I actually do like ToQ-Oh’s overall silhouette, specifically the high shoulders as it gives it a very unique look compared to other sentai mechas. The only aspect about ToQ-Oh that I would say I really don't like, as weird as it sounds, is the lack of hands. The train fronts as hands just sort of look really awkward to me, especially when it's holding any weapon. ToQ-Oh perhaps wasn’t the best first impression of the ToQger mechas, but I don’t mind it.
Diesel-Oh
I really like Diesel-Oh. The blockiness and wider shoulders really helps to evoke a strong silhouette and while I didn't mind ToQ-Oh's rainbow colour scheme, I do find Diesel-Oh's colour scheme to be more straightforward and appealing. The train heads also actually kind of work here, given that Diesel-Oh is more of a brawler. I also like the contrast it has with ToQ-Oh, as Toq-Oh had a lot of straight vertical lines whereas Diesel-Oh has a lot of straight horizontal lines.
Cho Toq-Oh
Cho ToQ-Oh is ok as far as combination mechas go. The way ToQ-Oh and Diesel-Oh combine is fairly cool, with the two halves of Diesel-Oh intersecting between the body and arms of ToQ-Oh. The resulting combination however still mostly looks like ToQ-Oh with a few added pieces but I commend what things it did.
Build DaiOh
I'm going to suspect that Build DaiOh is a lot of people's favourite ToQger mecha and yeah, there's a lot of good reasons for. Build DaiOh is probably the most solid of the standalone ToQger mechas, in terms of silhouette, design and colour scheme. It's the mecha that looks the most complete, like it doesn't look it's going to add anything on or be part of some crazy combination. It just looks like a simple, solid mecha.
Cho Cho ToQ-DaiOh
This combination is really eh. I won't say I hate it but I certainly think there're better ways that this combination could be done. It's mainly just Build DaiOh pieces added to Cho ToQ-Oh and whereas I found the way ToQ-Oh and Diesel-Oh combine to be quite inventive, the way Build DaiOh combines is rather mundane, just platform shoes, a new chest plopped on top of the old chest, and a new addition to Cho ToQ-Oh head. It just doesn't have much visual shake up compared to past combinations like Bakuretsu Kyoryuzin.
Hyper Ressha TeiOh
Compared to the other big bulky final standalone mechas, TeiOh is ok. I think the proportions lean a little too far to it looking just big rather than looking powerful. And while I get that gold is the primary colour, I think a little more black and red would have helped break it up and lead to a better colour balance. It's still fine and I like the finger guns.
ToQ Rainbow
As the final combination, ToQ Rainbow is alright, I really like the idea of it being essentially a walking train platform though I do think the execution could still be improved. Like perhaps if there was some way to utilize the individual gimmicks of each Ressha, cause as is they’re just sort of there. I also think maybe a bit more design elements or colour could have been added to the base body, which is mostly just grey train tracks. All that aside though, I really the proportions of ToQ Rainbow. It manages to give ToQ Rainbow that big, powerful look that I felt was missing from TeiOh. It’s not my favourite final combination but its fine enough
Shield/Car Carrier/Tank/Police/Fire/Drill
I decided to move all the auxiliary combination to here since they are mostly just arm swaps, and that's all I can say about them, they’re arm swaps. The Police and Fire Ressha are probably the most interesting to me of the bunch.
ToQ-Oh Kyoryuzin feat. DenLiner
Outside the novelty of it being a partially Kamen Rider based combination, there’s nothing else really all that impressive about this. Like I really struggle to figure anything interesting to say about this. Compared to Rocket Drill Go-Buster Oh which was kind of dumb and fun in a ludicrous way, the only thing this has going for it is that it has are the Den Liner as shoes and Kyoryuzin’s head.
SafariGaOh
Really like when the movie mechas retools go with really wild ideas and I'd say giving ToQ-Oh an animal form is a really wild idea. And thankfully, I feel SafariGaOh executed that idea about as well as it could. The new pieces added really help to differentiate it from ToQ-Oh and the animal form looks really neat.
