Thoughts about the clearer toy scans:
So the collectible is the dino-head/knight. At a minimum, it looks like it's the transformation widget (the main ones,) forms the Armed-On-like power-up (the auxiliary ones,) and the head/face for each mecha configuration. Looks relatively cheap, reminiscent of Ranger Keys. Probably not spring-loaded. I'm guessing they're trying to keep the price point down?
It looks like each of the five initial mecha can form a unique combination, changing the head and chest of the mecha. It'd be fair to expect lots of auxiliary mecha for even more combinations; I'm surprised we don't get a hint of that with the auxiliary widgets. The knight forms of these collectible bricks are likely, story-wise, to be the souls of previous dragon-knights.
Looking more closely at the red mecha I can see the battleship part of the concept with the various turrets and attachments. It looks like we're getting a combined tank form that doesn't look awful; I wonder if it can incorporate green and black without looking stupid. As a whole, they all look less ridiculous to me than I'm used to from modern Sentai mecha. Looks like standard for Sentai: little transformation in favor of parts-swapping, but integrated better than usual. Reminds me of some of the better design points of Go-Busters.
The Lego-like connectors look way better than they have any right to, and looking over just what we can see here, it seems like there are a gazillion potential combinations because each of the mecha have a lot going on, and red comes with drills and turrets that can attach in a variety of ways. Only thing I'm not sold on is how the mecha heads will look from any angle other than head-on, since they're just the reverse side of the unfolded the knight-widgets.
No electronics in the mecha, which I actually kinda appreciate; the yappiness seems confined to the transformation brace and the sword. We can clearly see that they wear the latter on a hip scabbard, which I find way too exciting; I'm tired of seeing our heroes pull their weapons out of nowhere. (At least Go-Busters had a neat teleportation effect.)
I've mostly broken free of my desire to own roleplay items or DX mecha - minipla work just fine for me - but this one is almost tempting because it seems to have a lot of potential as fiddling-friendly desk toy. I may like these better than the past several years of Sentai mecha.
Still noticing little design details. Seems like the transformation brace requires both inserting the unfolded widget and - am I seeing this right? - flipping the jaw around so it becomes a knight helmet for the dino?
