Suit designs are one thing, but Mecha designs are something else!
We know that Kiramager will be predicated on cars and other vehicles, but we've yet to see a true combined Mecha form yet. When I showed a buddy of mine the Kishiryu of RyuSoulger and how they combined, he wasn't feeling it. To him, if I remember right, they looked like cheap plastic slapped together. He also didn't seem all that thrilled with Tyramigo being the main body of most combined forms while also criticizing the fact that CosmoRaptor is just two halves shoved together! He credited the original Mighty Morphin' Megazord (Daizyujin) as looking like a true, solid robot. To paraphrase, each animal had a specific place and helped to contribute to the whole. Sentai Mecha designs are a major part of the toy sales and if the designs aren't solid and playable, then there isn't going to be much interest. Cars don't always illicit interest, but they can be made to work based on how they combined with each other. Granted, the show can still be phenomenal albeit with a crappy toyline! That isn't a bad thing as the show's value can still sway opinions regarding the toys as the toys can echo and represent that aforementioned value. The reverse is also possible: crappy show albeit with a phenomenal toyline! Based on the mindset of the people involved, the minimal plot details as we know them, and the suit designs, I am reasonably convinced that Kiramager the Series has potential, and I could use such a pick-me-up right now. Personally, I think having Red's machine turn into a robot all on its own can be cool, but only if the other rangers' machines are still decently sized and contribute to the combination (Go-Busters did this well IMO). With Ryusoulger's mecha, I found it really off-putting how two of the core rangers' dinos clearly just didn't matter. But I don't think Kirameiger will have the same problem. The vehicles on the poster all look pretty reasonably close in size, unless it's showing them not in scale with each other. Although they also all look quite simple, so I'm very curious about how they'll actually come together into a mecha. |

Toei's press conference is set for January 16.
https://natalie.mu/eiga/news/362180 If this is anything like the Ryusoulger show, we'll get our first proper meeting of the team and probably the music too. |

Is there any chance to have two more rangers? One good joins and the other stays with the bad guys. What jewels to fit them?

Some new info on the main 5 Mashins by Toei's Kiramager page. Bit of paraphrasing on my side.
- Mashin Fire is the Red Kiramastone's fire engine form. He can rescue people with his ladder that can extend to very long lengths and can stop the movement of enemies with his powerful water cannon. He has a burning heart (but can be a bit difficult). Voiced by Kenichi Suzumura. -Mashin Shovellow is the Yellow Kiramastone's excavator form. It can scoop and hurl things with its big bucket and with the guidance of the sharpshooter Tametomo/Kirama Yellow it can attack even enemies far away with pinpoint accuracy. Can be a nuisance. Voiced by Mitsuo Iwata. -Mashin Mach is the Green Kiramastone's supercar form. He is confident with going fast and like his partner Sena/Kirama Green uses speed to toy with the enemy, such as surprise attacks. He considers himself a butler of sorts to Sena and addresses her as 'Milady' with his handsome guy-esque voice. Voiced by Kenji Akabane. -Mashin Jetta is the Blue Kiramastone's jet form. He can fly directly towards his destination and slashes his enemies with his sparkling wings. He is the youngest of the five Kiramastones, calls Shiguru/Kirama Blue big brother and does his best to try and be helpful while trying to look good. Voiced by Genki Ohkawa. -Mashin Heliko is the Pink Kiramastone's helicopter form. She has a unique style and sense of things that leads to her phrasing things in a strange way. But she has a strong sense of justice and uses her flight ability to rescue people. Voiced by Yuki Nagaku.

Do you think the 6th Ranger will be based on ships? Maybe his Mashin will be a battleship.

Will we get pics from the toy show? Also, looking at the Road Roller, it looks like it might replace Blue as a hammer, which is kind of what I'd use it for, but also waiting to see what everything does.

So Episode Zero was out last weekend in Japanese theaters. I wonder if they are gonna use some of the scenes for flashbacks when the actual show starts.

I just hope more rangers than just 6.
They better introduce sea vehicles too. Submarines, boats, battleships even. |

A new leak from a Thailand merchant site on Twitter confirms that the Sixth Ranger will be KirameiSilver and that his changer is called the Shiny Kiramei Changer, with his weapon called the Shiny Breaker.
