MagiKing
Magiranger had some pretty cool and unique ideas with how it handled its mechas. The concept of the rangers turning into the mechas themselves is something we've seen all the way back since Kakuranger but it's a concept that thematically fits Magiranger and I like how all the Majins are quite distinct from one another in both design and size. MagiKing itself is a pretty solid design with a strong use of colours and neat details like the magicians hat and the pointed foot tips. The addition of the wings from MagiGaruda is also a cool touch. With that being said, after seeing the Super Robot Chogokin version of MagiKing, I kinda can't stand the proportions of the original suit. The much thinner and sleeker design of the SRC version I think fits MagiKing aesthetic better than the original's more bulkier and blocky look.
MagiDragon
MagiDragon is a cool little side mode that the Majins can do. Aesthetically it fits quite well with Magiranger and really the concept of a mechanical robot riding a giant mechanical dragon is pretty awesome.
WolKentauros
The first combination of Wolzard and his horse Barikion. Basically just the top half of Wolzard on top of Barikion to form a centaur. Pretty basic design all around but still neat nonetherless, after all centaur looking mechas are quite rare in Sentai.
WolKaiser
The second combination of Wolzard and Barikion, this is pretty menacing looking mecha. The mix of black and gold gives quite a bit of regality to the design and the use of purple around the chest and head help sell this as being an evil mecha. Wolzard's shield and shoulder pauldrons becoming the chest makes for quite a neat design. I've always wondered why they never made a Wolzard Fire version of this mecha. Seemed like a missed opportunity.
FireKaiser
MagiPhoenix gets to combine with Barikion this time. FireKaiser is pretty much identical to WolKaiser with the exception of the head and chest which are enough of a difference to separate the two. I do like the new head for FireKaiser, it has a more heroic look to it. The pony tail however does stick out a little too far, if it could bend downwards it would look a bit better.
Travelion
The second train based mecha we've had in Sentai and personally I'm not too big on this mecha. The abundance of gold all around it is nice and the head design is actually kinda neat with how it invokes both the genie and train theme. I think what gets me about it are the proportions. It's doing something similar to GrandLiner of having big and bulky parts but whereas GrandLiner looked very powerful, Travelion just looks short and stumpy.
MagiLegend
The mecha for the Magirangers Legend Mode. MagiLegend is alright I suppose. It has a lot of white which matches the Legend Modes and it has quite the ornate look with all gold and especially the helmet design. Honestly the most impressive thing I find about it is the transformation, with MagiLion jumping through various hoops of fire, ending off with it jumping through and combining with MagiFireBird. It's quite cool and it's telling that one of the main gimmicks of the toy is being able to do this transformation.
SaintKaiser
Technically the movie exclusive mecha but it does show up later in the series from what I've read. SaintKaiser is basically just a white version of FireKaiser. I do prefer this over FireKaiser since the white works better thematically as a heroic mecha. Plus it has a slightly different head design, one where the pony tail does swoop downwards which was my one complaint with FireKaiser.
