This won't be surprising to anyone who's heard my opinions on Go-Busters, but I love pretty much all of these guys. Even I have to admit that most of the big combinations look somewhat off, but I've always seen that as something of an inevitable consequence of designs trying to emphasize the individual machines as being cool. Most Sentai robots that look really cohesive together, especially in recent memory, look that way because there are big chunks of the individual modes that are glaringly meant to be part of a giant humanoid robot, whereas, Go-Buster Ace, for example, just looks like a car when it's a car.
There was a clear effort to avoid littering the designs with obvious joints and ports for the combinations, and unfortunately because of that, those combinations suffer a bit. Go-Buster Oh especially, given that's it's nominally the "main" mecha for the team, looks rather haphazard, even with the in-show suit doing its best to make it look more cohesive.
Mind you, none of this is enough to prevent me from loving them all. Go-Buster Ace alone is my favorite Sentai mecha bar none (although Galaxy Mega comes
this
close), but all of them have their charm. Given what a pipe dream a Power Rangers version of Go-Busters seemed like, I have to say, as someone who doesn't quite feel comfortable tossing around cash for expensive import toys, the wait to see what Hasbro is doing with these guys is killing me a little.
