Plus, the tired old question, if he can defeat the Horrors in a single attack when he transforms, why prolong the fight so much by fighting in his civ form?

Out of story, it's because that suit is so damn heavy that they can't use it for very long. It's either have it for those brief moments of awesome or go all-out CGI like the third season has done, and Garo doesn't really have the budget to do that very convincingly unfortunately.

Plotwise, I tend to just put it down to summoning the armour when he really needs to. He's on a limited time frame as it is (what is it, 2 minutes or so? They've pretty much dropped it from later seasons so I don't remember) so better to wear the Horror down using his own skills than jumping straight into the armour.
