I'm not looking for Diesel Oh to set a new standard or anything really. Just less parts forming after last years abominations

Its hollow because of its gimmick, so I don't consider that a problem considering how much fun the gimmick becomes and because even though he's hollow, he's very sturdy and heavy, plus Gokaioh is one of the best looking (in my opinion, of course) Sentai mecha we've gotten and definitely one of the funnest thanks to his gimmick and accompanying auxiliaries. His transformation is just as uninvolved as Dekaranger Robo, who looks fantatic but has a less interesting gimmick line-wise so I don't think he should get a pass and not Gokaioh. WAY above ToQger's line-up so far of trains that line-up and auxillaries that do absolutely nothing but limb-swap. Then again, as much as I love my DX mecha and continue to collect them, I personally don't consider any of them deserving of being called marvels except possibly Magiking, even the more complicated ones like Gaoking and Daibouken are still very basic.

I don't regret getting ToQoh, but he's still uninspired and uninteresting outside of his functionality with the ToQ Changer and the rest of the line so far has been really quite lame, the Diesel Train at least is more interesting then the Car Carrier and Tank Trains, but it really isn't hard to beat them. Kyoryuger's mecha weren't fantastic and are definitely love 'em or hate 'em, but they were gigantic (a bonus that Gokaioh somewhat has too) and had fun music gimmicks, while ToQger's line doesn't really have anything to give it an edge. Of the three mentioned simple mecha, Gokaioh is simple to support his line-wide opening gimmick and Dekeranger Robo and Kyoryujin both had electronics. Just seems lame that ToQger's mecha have nothing like that to justify the fact that they do pretty much nothing when combined.
