Concept Art: Ninninger Additional Power-Ups
 

...so. Super StarNinger was recently announced, and while I like it, it's one of those things where I can understand why others don't. Because despite its nice aesthetics, it's just a piece of cloth.

And for whatever reason, I decided now would be the perfect time to scan some of my conceptual drawings of different power-ups for the Ninninger team.

The basic concept uses the Shuku Shaku Shuku Sho Nin Shuriken from ToQger vs. Kyoryuger. In a similar vein to Kyoryuger's Minityra, the SSSS Shuriken can be used on OtomoNin to convert them into weapons or power-ups.

Weapons (no drawings provided): All of them can be formed with the DX toy.
Shinobimaru - Claw
Dragomaru - Sword
Dumpmaru - Projectile Launcher
Byunmaru - Sword
Wanmaru - Gun

Alright, on to the good stuff.

WARNING: I'M PRETTY BAD AT DRAWING HUMANOIDS SO PLEASE EXCUSE MY HORRIBLENESS

BASIC ARMOR
The SSSS Shuriken can be used on auxiliary OtomoNin to give a Ninninger an edge in battle.

PAON ARMOR:

Paonmaru transforms into a gun to unlock the Paon Armor, relying on brute force to take out the opponent.

STRENGTH: +++
DEFENSE: +++
SPEED: -
JUMP: -
KARAKURI HENGEN REMOVED
GAMAGAMA JU REMOVED
PAON AXES ADDED
MAIN USER: KININGER
(the face is blank because the SSSS power-ups are compatible with everyone)

FINISHER: PAON GATLING - The axes fold forward to reveal gatling guns that open fire on their target.

UFO ARMOR:

UFOmaru turns into my UFO crossbow to unlock the UFO Armor, specializing in aerial combat.

STRENGTH: +
DEFENSE: +
SPEED: +
JUMP: +
KARAKURI HENGEN REMOVED
UFO LAUNCHER ADDED
ALLOWS FLYING (UNLISTED)
MAIN USER: MOMONINGER

FINISHER: UFO STAR BURST - A single shot from the UFO Launcher hits the target before blowing up massively.

SURFER ARMOR:

Surfermaru... actually doesn't need any transformation to unlock the Surfer Armor, using a surfboard to driveby opponents. The large size of the board means another Ninninger can ride as well.

STRENGTH: +
DEFENSE: +
SPEED: +++
JUMP: -
KARAKURI HENGEN REMOVED
SURFER BOARD ADDED
ALL STATS ENHANCED WHEN IN WATER (UNLISTED)
MAIN USER: SHIRONINGER

FINISHER: GIANT SURFER SLASH - The surfboard combines with the Ninja Ichibantou to slash the target.


ADVANCED ARMOR
Some of the stronger OtomoNin are also compatible with the SSSS Shuriken and give better enhancements.

RYUU ARMS:
http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pserx172ld.jpg
The spell "でうのゅり" (would probably be Over-Time'd into "smra uuyr") allows both Seiryuumaru and Dragomaru to combine with a Ninninger. This is more of arm weapons than armor, although it provides a few additional armor pieces in other areas.

STRENGTH: ++++
DEFENSE: +
SPEED: +
JUMP: N/A
KARAKURI HENGEN REMOVED
GAMAGAMA JU REMOVED
MAGIC ENHANCED (AONINGER ONLY)
DRAGO SWORD ADDED (UNLISTED)
ALLOWS FLYING (UNLISTED)
MAIN USER: AONINGER

FINISHER: DOUBLE RYUU-KEN - Two punches are fired in the form of Seiryuumaru and Dragomaru to tackle the target.

BISON ARMOR:

this would look so much better if I was better at drawing humanoids
The giant Bison King Buggy fuses with a Ninninger to provide the Bison Armor! Rodeomaru is also affected and becomes a little side-partner in an ironic Ninninger-OtomoNin reversal.

STRENGTH: +++
DEFENSE: +++
SPEED: +
JUMP: -
BISON RIFLE ADDED
RODEOMARU ADDED
INCOMPATIBLE WITH GATTAI NIN SHURIKEN (UNLISTED)
MAIN USER: STARNINGER

FINISHER: WILD BUSTER SPECIAL - The Furai Nin Shuriken is fired from the Star Sword-Gun with Rodeomaru on top, who fires rapid shots from the Bison Rifle before the Nin Shuriken crashes into its target.

DINO ARMOR:
http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps9smo1zor.jpg
Me Dinomaru no power-up, me Dinomaru king!
If Dinomaru appears in the future, this would theoretically be his SSSS Shuriken power-up. He turns into some bazooka thing that would probably be better if I had the actual toy.

STRENGTH: +++
DEFENSE: ++
SPEED: -
JUMP: ++
KARAKURI HENGEN REMOVED
GAMAGAMA JU REMOVED
DINO DRILL ADDED
DINO CLUBS ADDED
MAIN USER: AKANINGER

FINISHER: REX SPIKER - The Ninninger jumps up into the air and throws the Dino Drill at the target, Kentrospiker style.


By the way, if we calculated Chouzetsu with this system, my guess is this:

STRENGTH: +++
DEFENSE: ++
SPEED: ++
JUMP: ++
KARAKURI HENGEN REMOVED
GAMAGAMA JU REMOVED
CHOUZETSU SHOUBU CHANGER ADDED

I like that you made all the auxiliaries into armour for the senshi, and that each Ninninger gets one! That's pretty awesome.

Thanks :D

That's a great idea! I actually want to see that in the show really badly now.

:D

Well, this is ironic...

The latest episode of Ninninger had all the OtomoNin being summoned to swarm the Youkai, and it turns out the auxiliaries were paired with the rangers that correspond to the power-ups in this thread.
