Oh. Silly me thought you were reffering to the Won Tiger pre-concept

Yeah, that's what I thought, too.

No no no no no- don't missunderstand me! I said I do NOT want to
include all of those, because they involve limb-swaping, which does not
apply to my initial question. Same goes for "AbaRanger", "MagiRanger",
and
"Boukenger".

Oh. Looks like I missunderstood you that time.
And I agree- they SHOULD name everything.

Hmm? Repetative? Aside from the MagiMajin attacks, I din't think
they
were THAT common; certainly no more than other Super Sentai series...

Right, I know all of those; I have them all except MagiLegend. The
only
one I saw in instructions was how Train 1 could fit inside MagiKing; and
vise versa for MagiPhoneix, MagiFairy, and Travelion.
Has anyone ever noticed how both MagiKing and Travelion can limb-swap,
specifically their arms?
MagiKing's/MagiTaurus' legs can also separate at the hip joints as
well,
to reveal the same type of joint system connector. I wonder if MagiKing's
are compatable with DaiBouken's legs...? I'll have to check when I'm done
here.

Yeah... but you must have the accessory platform for GaoShark and
GaoTiger to ride him, too, and there are pegholes specifically put into
Gao
Bison/Gao Buffalo just for that too. Most likely, the tank mode would
have
been a quick-use mode between the separate Power Animals and Gao King
during
the combining process, just like the Dino Tanker is on the Daizyujin from
"ZyuRanger". A lost mode could be either a combo of some kind between
mega
robos, or the basic five mecha in another form without another set added
in.
I think that "ZyuRanger" introduced the third mode for the same set,
didn't
it? No others before that?
