Honestly, that thing just looks like a Gundam. Or something out of GaoGaiGar.
And it's funny -- I feel like Sentai needs to get away from the mecha and find some new gimmick to latch onto. I already figured they wouldn't do it, but now that Rider is getting mecha happy, that says that Japan will never not be mecha happy.
Go back to doing it the way of the 90s and only use the mecha when the plot actually requires it.
Hell, spend several episodes developing your cast and then have them earn their mecha like 6 episodes later
Only a few Sentais ever did that. Zyuranger through Carranger were the only string of shows where the main mecha didn't appear until later in the show, and even then the first episodes still featured individual mechas fighting instead of the combined robot.
