I guess the problem was that they couldn't really make a fusion of every Great Power, so an "all mecha combination" wouldn't make much sense.

Even Decade Complete seems more like a "tribute" form than Complete GokaiOh is.

Still, using all the parts of GokaiOh and GoZyuJin would have gone a long way, IMO.

That's because Kanzen Gokaioh is supposed to be the Gokaiger's own powers, not other people's. Of course, when you look at it, it uses the arms of the Abaranger Great Power and the legs and other parts from an Engine, which, rather than following the Gokaiger around, has to be summoned with the Go-onger's Great Power every time... So, that idea wasn't executed very well.

Really, the only way they'd be able to pull a thematically fitting all mecha combination would be if the Gokaiger had gotten a second main robot created by combining all the Great Powers, rather than just 3 like the Gozyujin and then combined that with the Gokaioh for the 35 Great Powers combined into one. That would also help explaining the comments about the powers needing to be together right now, although they'll hopefully explain that later.

Alternatively, it'd also work if the Gozyujin had been a completely original mecha, like the Gokaioh, rather than being something supposed to represent 3 Great Powers.

MachFalcon is also part of the Gokaiger crew despite borrowing Go-onger's powers to summon it. It's basically just the gokaiger's powers combining together.

Gozyujin is created by 3 Great Powers though, and, like you say there, Machalcon needs to be summoned by the Gokaiger using the Go-onger's Great Power every time. Their intention was a Gokaiger only form, but it doesn't really work.

It's pretty obvious that piece of fluff (meant in the gaming sense) was thought out later, after most of the toys were planned out.

Then again, mecha are Gokaiger's weakest point, ironic in a franchise which distinguishes itself by its team spandex and use of robots.

When they have a clusterf, people complain. When they don't give us a clusterfed mecha, people still complain. o_O Oh well..

Eh, I don't think it's a clusterfuck vs. non-clusterfuck thing. Kanzen GokaiOh is just lame and uninteresting. What people are actually saying here is that they think Gokaiger's final upgrade should have more of a narrative behind it, which I completely agree with.

By the way, is Naruhisa Arakawa getting replaced, or what? He hasn't written anything since #34, and isn't set to write #39 or #40 either.

He's writing the Vs Gavan movie. Kazuki Nakashima and Yasuko Kobayashi were out 4 episodes from their shows to write movie scripts too. Well, Arakawa will be out for 6 episodes, apparently, but Sentai generally has less focus on the main writer, aside from a few exceptions.

The only oddity here is that Kento Shimoyama is the one who got to write the Kanzen Gokaioh two parter, considering how he has written a very small number of Gokaiger episodes before this. Recently, he also wrote the Basco reveal and bazooka episodes though, so, it seems like he's getting to write most plot relevant episodes right now, oddily...
