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?!

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.
