Totally baffled as to how that might work mechanically.

It looks like the V might shoot down to his belt. I think the belt opens down like Black RX's, then you put 1 - 4 Gears in it and then the V flies down on that silver line on his suit and turns the gears and activates.

With regards to ToQger, Thomas the tank engine is popular with a different age group than what ToQger would be aiming for in the US. The thing about trains not being popular outside of Japan is moreso that trains are super popular in Japan and ToQger still performed poorly. So taking that data and, excuse the pun, imaging how that might translate to the US where trains are not a national staple, and the show is expected to have dinosaurs and beasts. Too risky.

Personally, while I like the ToQger suit design, I can see how it takes the stuff US audiences like the least about Power Rangers (spandex, literal toy on the wrist) and leaves out the "cool" stuff (armor, hi-tech gadgets/weapons)
