I think it looks awful. Maybe if I see it in action, it may be cooler. At the moment, it looks like if Roland Emmerich design this Megazord if you ask me. I would not know that would be a Power Rangers Megazord if no one told me.

Hey, when did these giant robots become angels?
Like, does no-one else see that this thing is blatantly trying to be a giant angel? It's got the wings 'n armor 'n wotnot. And I legitimately do not see how this is going to transform, by the way. It's got nothing in the way of kibble. You don't even have the animal heads sticking off somewhere. But I do know that it is another totem-pole-robo. It has a pink head, read shoulders, yellow belly (now that's blatant!), black waist/thighs, and blue shins and feet. Stack it up, knock it down. I think it's a cool design, but I'm not feeling the giant robot in this. You expect something kind of blocky with your giant robots. Something where the shins are like a third of the total height and can suck the thighs into them without problem, there is a serious case of the shoulder pads, and the head is itsy-bitsy. This guy is like they rammed Ultraman and Neon Genesis Evangelion together. It don't feel much robot, more like a guy in a mesh suit or a flat-out angel. .... Why an angel?! |

Yep, that's definitely the biggest failing of this. It completely fails the squint test, being unrecognizable as what it's apparently supposed to be. Which is even more damning because the suits actually pass that test, not with flying colors or anything, but you can still recognize what they're meant to be.
If you weren't trying to pass this off as THE megazord, maybe we'd be less critical of it. It's not an awful design, although the idea that it's a mecha is kind of... It looks more like a suit of armor than a giant robot, am I the only one seeing that? Like... this looks more like an Ultraman than a robot of any form. |

I actually think it's alright. I feel it'll be much better in the film, but overall not bad. The wings are a nice touch.

WTF is that thing supposed to be? How does it even combine? Not to mention the wings look awful. It looks like a Tekkaman fucked a unicorn.

Honestly, showing us the lackluster toy versions of the robot FIRST was probably a poor decision. Really sours our impression of the design and just makes the people who don't like the thing like it even less. I think first seeing the Megazord in all of its concept art or CG rendered "glory" would have made seeing the toys (which lack a great amount of paint and detail) easier to swallow.

It doesn't even resemble the Megazord at all. At least Bayformers' Optimus Prime has Optimus Prime elements.

The other side of the coin is that this was the ONLY logical solution since the supposed photos of the Deluxe version have been circulating against their wishes and to offset that reality, they gave us the next best option! |
