I think I'm the only one on this board who is supremely unconcerned with mecha. When I watch old episodes of PR and re-watch Sentai, I often skip the mecha battles.
It's really the most boring part of the episode for me, usually.

I'm also a girl who never watched Transformers of anything else that would endear giant robots to me. PR, sure. But old school PR rarely had anything momentous happen during its Zord battles, so I sort of got into the habit of tuning it out.

I've seen footage of them filming mecha battles though, and I gotta say, I feel really bad for the poor stunt guys who have to wear those costumes... Having to remove the helmet every 10 seconds so the actor doesn't suffocate is not my idea of a great gig.
It seems the Shinken mecha format is not purely the Kaku-Geki fusion I once called it. Here we have two "primary" mecha (The core 5's ShionkenOh and Gold's EbiOrigami) and two "secondary" ones (The core 5's DaiTenkuu and Gold's IkaOrigami. DaiTenkuu in turn splits into Kabuto, Kajiki and Tora Origamis and becomes armors for ShinkenOh. IkaOrigami becomes armor for EbiOrigami). ShinkenOh and EbiOrigami can combine, as can DaiTenkuu and IkaOrigami, becoming one large biped robo and one "sidekick" bird/cannon mecha.
But I'd still like to know why only the ShinkenOh Origamis have actual "origami" abilities.
