Its a different system, especially given what I've just realised about future developments, so to me it makes sense it looks incomplete. Add to that the Sclash Driver's origins, and how the suit is a base layer with additions, and it even seems much like a mass-produced thing today. I was reading a thing on the 2010 redesign of the Daleks a couple of weeks ago, and it mentions how they wanted to get away from the "industrial" look of the 2005 era, and more towards a sleek, plastic aesthetic to seem more futuristic. And while the jelly gunk kinda disrupts that (and is definitely the weirdest part of the design), the Cross-Z (going off the toy and how similar their designs are) and Grease suits share that kind of design philosophy.
I mean, I've got no complaints about the Sclash Driver as a concept. The henshin is cool and sells the idea of a layer of goo on top of a suit, it feels in a line with the bottle/can "drink" aesthetic, and Grease totally delivers on the premise. (Gunk = Grease!) It's just,
jelly dragon
, you know?
Jelly dragon.
I can't fault anyone who digs that, but I don't know if I'm ever gonna fly the flag for Jelly Dragon.
