The bird is obviously a homage to Variblune...might even become a vehicle at some point.

Green keeps popping up in the designs of Secchan and ZenKaiser alongside the colors of the team members, leading me to suspect our sixth hero will be green.
From the look of ZenkaiMagine here, I get a better sense of how the toys will work than I did with the actual suit shots. Magine's feet clearly snap together to form a dragon head. The mechanism for how they split still eludes me, but Magine makes me think it's actually back-to-front. The combined forms make it clear there's at least a little parts-forming, as part of Vroom is attached to the opposite leg. (Maybe they're planning on quite a lot of parts-forming, since I gather the Ryusoulger mecha did well, although that success was probably more about the modularity. I also suspect the toy designers wanted another crack at the "mouth opens to reveal a head" thing from Kishiryu Neptune.) There's nothing in these that suggest how a four-way combination would work. I wonder if the fangy inner thighs of the Gaon/Zyuran combination will translate to a potentially-hilarious attack on the show.
The alternate forms for the mecha are interesting. Red and yellow look great as a combined mecha, look decent enough in their individual mecha forms, and the good stuff all seems to have come at the cost of good-looking animal forms. That is the worst toku lion I've seen, and yes, I'm including Cube Lion. The combined form of pink and blue doesn't look nearly as appealing as red/yellow, but their other forms are pretty good. (Well, Magine's robot form is... just a lot of stuff going on at once.)
The pre-transformation robots are fine, and clearly give Bandai more stuff to market. Magine's... I mean, the design is cute, but it's a little too stereotype-hyperfeminine for me. I continue to suspect that the need for masks had a profound impact on the choices made for this season.
The Geartlinger looks like it might separate into two devices; I think it has a split-in-half thing going on. Then again, I could be wrong, and it's just reconfigurable into a sword because that's how toku works.
I am SO eager to see the mechanics of how the mecha toys work, now! It doesn't look nearly as simple as other mecha of recent year, and I consider that a good thing.
I was thinking something similar about the bird being related to Variblune/Varidreen or even Navi.
The half-and-half gimmick also brings to mind RyuSoulger's CosmoRaptor in addition to Kamen Rider W. I don't hate the idea, but it does leave one wondering which combination is the "Main Combination Mecha". Say we have another 199 Special again and the Main Mecha of every series pops back in again...which combination here would take the cake?
I've also been thinking of something of late: The Mecha designs of the four Kikanoids are based on a pattern we've seen before!
In Go-Busters VS. Gokaiger, there was a Gokai Change using "Megazord Keys":
Daizyujin
GaoKing
-GaoKentaurus
GekiTouja-FlashKing-Ryuuseioh
DaiBouken
MagiKing
Apparently, these have been fan-favorite designs for years.
P.S.: The little Gears are denoted using the visage of a Sentai Red next to its series number. Will LupinRed and Patren #1 carry the distinctive "they're two different teams" designation we've been told to accept?
