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.
Realize I forgot to answer this post LOL. Yeah, I really like that armored samurai one too, so I think we should use that as the default look unless we find something better in the next few days. And Crimson said he loves the skirt look on them all too XD. As for the Zords, yeah, I think the biggest issue with the idea of a Megazord would be effectively controlling it, unless we just save it for like a finisher move and then I can just write a scene of our Zords coming together and finishing off the baddie.
One idea is for us to summon the Dragon Zords, ride them, and then maybe fuse with them similar to the Red Ranger Battlizer from Mystic Force.
