Got Genbu's model done aside from figuring out connection pegs for combiner mode, and possibly fiddling with the hips a little more. I might darken the green of the shell further as well since he's supposed to be a black turtle, and as the combiner leg panels hint I decided to go with the traditional colors for the others as well. I am happy to state that while there are a couple of places I' like to have a ball joint instead of a hinge (neck-to-head in particular) this is amazingly articulated for a super-sentai, both as a separate unit and as a component for the larger form.
Turtle mode:

Lasers!

Rockets! And a big, tinted window into the habitable volume inside the forward shell. There's another cluster of four small rocket nozzles inside the fins on the underside, which end up on the back of the calves of combiner component mode.
I Have Feet mode fore and aft:

The tiger/dragon arm units attach not quite vertically as the sides of the central torso and arms, with the heads as shoulder guards, then the crane, which is basically just bird bits attached to a head, comes on and its kibble becomes a backpack with wings.
Look out below!

Where those rockets get to... I'd like to figure out another gimmick to add instead of/behind the plain blue and white panels, but nothing good comes to mind so far.
