It has to start with the zord design first, from TV to toyline.

Same goes for hips, which would almost always need to be ratcheted because of the weight they need to support (Blah blah cheap BoA plastic is light, yes, but it can still get cumbersome).

I don't need bicep swivels and an ab crunch is a pipe dream, but neck swivel, elbows, and maybe knees if I'm feeling fancy, would be all that I would want, right now.

I can take a sacrificed aesthetic for the individual zords, for a fully articulated Megazord.
