That isn't to say the designs are bad, it's just merely a differences I noticed in terms of aesthetic.

If post-Gaoranger "Mecha" look "plasticky", what would be a good classification for pre-Gaoranger Mecha?

Senpuujin Hurrier

The only thing I think they could improve about Hurrier mode is the head. It's the exact same head as regular Senpuujin which looks a little weird with how much the entire body has changed. They could of change the head to look a bit slimmer, just to keep with the aesthetic.

Honestly, I think DOES look slimmer! The "side-wings" on the head make the whole part look like a stretched JPEG! It doesn't really lose anything aside from the bird's "filled-out" appearance.

Gouraijin



These aesthetic differences are nice and help make Gouraijin feel like a mecha that's specific to the Goraigers. I also like that the beetle motif is still present in Gouraijin, with the head having the kabuto horn and the kuwaga pincers becoming part of the chest plate. The only thing that's puzzling to me is their weapon. Who decided that their main weapon should be the cartoonish looking Plant Axe.

At least the Plant Axe could combine with the Kuwaga Pincers! Also, Gouraijin got a secondary weapon with Karakuri Ball 11: Kabuto Spear, plus it could summon a Sword Slasher for itself!
