Speaking of which, I was impressed at how the writers immediately addressed something some audience members might be thinking after Earth Mode's' debut: With how powerful the form is, why use the other two at all?

Both episodes almost go out of their way to show the inherent advantages and disadvantages of each form, and having Ray switch between all three when appropriate made for a very fun final fight. And I really hope this sort of thing is kept in mind as we get more Stones going forward.

Those new forms aren't really upgrades, unlike God Helios, just complementary forms with different strength and weakness. Earth is strong in physical stats, but physical stats aren't everything. Storm has longer range than the other forms, for starter.

I get that we don't want too many forms too fast, but given that half the objective of the adventure is to gather all the Stones, it made me groan.

Well it's expected, due to the preview picture I posted earlier. Bima-X is about 4 forms, so Power Stone that isn't red, blue, green, or purple isn't expected to work.
