But honestly past Boukenger, name one mecha that transforms in a complex manner (again, besides GobusterOh). Even ShinkenOh's fancy transformations are limited to their respective mecha. The main robo is still a torso and four limbs combination.
Sentai mecha have just looked downright awful for years. It's not even the simplicity that's the problem. Simplicity is good if it accomplishes a lot and is super clever. But modern sentai mecha lack any kind of innovation and look terrible. Quote:
Even the truck, which should be a square, doesn't even look like a good truck. It's limbs are giant boxes, the gimmick is literally just giant doors opening and hanging off while more kibble pops out and hangs off. Quote:
I dont see how he's primitive at all either, his transformation is pretty standard for nearly every 2000-2013 mecha and he pulls off the look really well in my opinion.

At the core of every combination, it's always going to be a torso and 4 limbs combo because that's what humanoids are. GekiTouja has 3 main components, but the end result is a torso and 4 limbs, for example.
But execution and design is what has everyone split. ShinkenBlue's dragon forms just a leg, but the process in doing so in already more interesting than the entirety of GokaiOh's combination, for example. Quote:
Then you need to be more specific.
I can't, because in my opinion, mecha design took a shitturn with Jungle Fury, and hasn't been even halfway decent since. Sentai mecha have just looked downright awful for years. It's not even the simplicity that's the problem. Simplicity is good if it accomplishes a lot and is super clever. But modern sentai mecha lack any kind of innovation and look terrible.

Yes, I was at fault for not being more specific. But honestly with combinations like Daizyujin and Muteki Shogun, could I honestly make that lie? Lying is with intent to deceive and there's no way I could have deceived anyone saying that all Sentai combinations were that simple. It would be better to say "you're wrong".

Daizyujin, OhBlocker, DaiRenOh, Flash King, Time Robo, Mega Voyager, MagiKing, all mechs that eschew the Voltron style of combination, all came years before GokaiOh.

I guess what I can say is that for me, ShinkenOh's transformation doesn't feel any more inspired than anything post Boukenger. It feels the same even with more steps in the transformation. True, sadly Sentai hasn't been that way since Boukenger. Go-busters tried, it didn't really work.

Red is the body and depending on mode, I'll be going with Alpha, Blue and Green form the Legs and Pink and Yellow form the Arms. But I will agree the transformations for that are more complicated than "stick Zord on peg." |

For some reason whenever a Sentai mech has a hat, I end up liking it more than most others. GokaiOh and Magiking are two of my favorites because of it.
