Imperial is a pretty solid form in my opinion.
I love his cool sword.
I like the suit.
A final form, to me, has to meet 3 criteria:
1) The toy, and henceforth method of activating the form, is cool.
You give me a cool toy that meshes with the device in some awesome way, AND a cool transformation, and I'm sold. Imperial does this. You put the Guan Yu piece in the belt and it pushes out the gold piece, Gun-Shin-Il-Che, and bam. Complete with a dragon and column of light.
2) The suit looks cool.
Even more so if it gets a weapon unique to it. Like Imperial. A cool suit with a unique weapon is usually an instant-win in my book. But alone, Imperial still looks cool. It's got the Guan Yu body with extra add-ons. Loving the open dragon jaw shoulder pads (literally just noticed that; back when I first watched this show years ago, I thought they were dragon heads; but no, the line on the arm is the open mouth). The dragon head crest is
especially
cool.
3) The form's powers are used often (or at least displayed a ton in the debut fight and sparingly after; Fourze's does this well, Build's does not).
I love cool powers. What can I say?
For example...
You gimme the power of flight on an armored, robotic, laser cannon-wielding angel of death and I'm happy.
Give it the ability to teleport with a feather effect and create portals and light ring attacks and I'm SOLD.
Basically, all of these fall under "rule of cool". Which means most final forms already meet my criteria for being "good".
