[Switchblade]

I don't see this ever happening. The design philosophy behind mech/zord toys isn't about articulated robots, it's about the combination gimmick. The toys need to be able to have separate modes, a combined mode, combined modes with later releases, and sometimes alternate solo modes. All the engineering goes into that and articulation is typically the first thing on the chopping block to accommodate the combining. Unless Sentai goes back to mecha that are either standalone or formed out of 2-3 components, I don't see articulation ever getting much better than 2-5 points on average.
