So catching up on the posts as working all day today. 

I think different colours suits with the gold trim going on is cool, I do like that pic with the dragons on the background. kinda like a dragon/samurai look. giving them a bit of an armoured feel would be cool as it would make it look like we can take hits and probs look awesome! haha. 

As for zords, i do see the pros for both ideas. but I do worry on the roleplaying the fighting scenes when all connected like a megazord could make it difficult to do? not sure my fighting experience in RP's is not overly massive. magically turning into a dragon does sound pretty epic and even if they are mechanised i think it could work either way. maybe the zords can make use of our powers? so like even if they dont go all megazord, they could still effectively fight as a team attacking on multiple fronts? or even maybe sentiant and able to fight independantly from us if we are fighting on the ground ourselves? or am I over complicating all that, if so my bad.
