Since we're talking forms here, I'll reintroduce my idea.

I'm partial to the concept of his forms being types of dinosaurs rather than a specific dino for each one. That way it both opens up more opportunities to include (and not exclude) any dinosaur from his power-up roster. AND it will keep his amount of true forms to a minimum, making it easier on whoever illustrates this.

FORMS:

Carnivore, Herbivore, Omnivore, Aquavore, etc...

SYSTEM:

Let's just use those first four as an example. I know they're AMBER stones, and therefore a orange-y color, but hear me out. You've got different colored stones for each form type. But there's multiple dinosaurs that fall in to those colors. I'm just gonna think up random colors for now:

ORANGE: Tyranno, Raptor, etc..
GREEN: Stego, Tricera, etc...
PURPLE: Oviraptor, Troodon, etc...
BLUE: Mosasaur, Plesiosaur, etc...

Any orange stone activates the Carnivore form base, but depending on the specific Dinosaur adds a unique weapon, armor, or ability as well as a unique finisher for that amber stone. Same goes for the others. Any green transforms the base into Herbivore, purple into Omnivore, blue into Aquavore (marine reptiles.)

Of course there would be a final form, too. I just think ONE dinosaur for each of his forms is kind of boring.

Bottom line, the reason we need to decide this stuff BEFORE we start designing the suit is so that we can incorporate whatever the gimmick and/or form change might be into the design.
