I've wondered this for years, but who draws these?

Also, that's adorable.

An anonymous Japanese artist with "insider" info on what the mecha will look like. Based on how accurate most of his drawings have been it's safe to say he knows someone on the inside at Bandai of Japan. Though he has been way off the mark previously. But he's been doing this arwtork since about Go-Onger as I recall.

Yeah, Go-Onger is as far back as I can trace him. I've still got a few gaps (most Shinkenger - I don't think I've found any he did for that) but I've amassed a rather nice folder of his pics now

I don't think that's the case. Looking at Paon, it seems Red's humanoid mecha gets those parts added to it in an armor like fashion. It seems too much for one of the accessories to be able to transform on it's own.

I could be wrong though.


--------------------------------------

While so far, I'm digging everything here and will probably pick it all up baring reviews, I hope ToQger is a series that's skipped by BoA. The trains look so generic and childish by comparison to these beasts.

Studying the scans more I noticed that the little robots get armored up to become the new mecha not unlike mugenbines. When combined with Shurikenjin they replace Reds mecha in the Chest and the rest gets add onto Shurikenjin as armor.

Well the Trains in ToQ never tried to be more than just trains. Bandai wanted to get Train Collectors to develop an interest into the ToQ line thats why the Ressha are not incredibly complex and for the most part stay true to their real life counterparts.
And that payd off since ToQ was a big success in japan.

I think it will be skipped because its too silly for the American audience with the conductor with the handpuppet. Also, with Power Rangers taking two seasons to finish a series instead of one like Super Sentai, they have to skip series or they will be too far behind Super Sentai.

How does that matter to saban? Conductor is not something they would use anyway since its a person and not someone in the suit. Everything that belongs to the Rainbow Line crew would never be adapted since they cant splice those scenes with new footage.

Seeing the aux mech more clearly raises my interests a little.
