Has any Rider/Sentai/misc. tokusatsu series ever gone in-depth with what their common "cyborg" enemy bodies are like?
Take Goranger's Masked Monsters, for instance. Are the masks literal masks that can be removed at will? Most of their human disguises seem like full-fledged illusions rather than costume changes, and I get the impression the new heads are unalterable once the monster form is taken. Kamen Rider henshin supports this.
Do we ever actually see any machine anatomy from such creatures? Is there any humanity left in them apart from their minds? This is where Riders seem different.
I can't comprehend why people need explanation how Evil Organization creates monsters to fight Karate Bugmen and conquer the world. Seriously, what's with the obsession with explanations, it's like people forgot what makes fiction a fiction.
But okay, in some episodes of original Kamen Rider creation of cyborgs was shown. Like replacing blood or soaking in the tank full of poisonous mushrooms.

I don't "need" an explanation, I'd just appreciate one. It's cool. See? Replacing blood is cool.
I haven't read the Ishinomori manga, maybe he does some explanation in there.
That one kids magazine also does these anatomy diagrams.

X has some inforgraphics like that in the show itself when they show one of GOD's bases.
Skyrider also shows a few times externally organic looking monsters that are actually mechanical inside, like a werewolf that gets a sonic attack add-on, and a couple of the revive monsters that get torn apart by Amazon.

Meanwhile, I found this in "How to commit suicide" book by Shintaro Kago

Nice Robocop 2 reference,

Well, he was originally Skull Man and all

This explains a lot
A reminder that there was a brain in Kiva's bike.
Super-1 had a diagram of his innards shown practically every episode.
He was made by NASA though, not any evil organization.

Is there anymore of these Heisei Riders diagrams. I already have all the Showa ones.
>>15625858
I know I've seen one for Diend
>>15624161
See:

Also, Kamen Rider 4 showed that Showa cyborgs are stuffed to the gills with tech. In contrast, most Heisei Riders are squishy humanoids in power armor:

>Kiva was shit
>Wizard was shit
>Ghost was shit
Why are Heisei magic Riders so awful?
Super-1 had one in the show as well as pic related

This reminds me of Shirakura's blabbering during the announcement of SHT about Sentai are magic, while Rider is science. Many people complained about that, but it really seems like Rider isn't lucky with magic for some reason.
>>15626037
Riders fight magic villains often enough, but tend to use technology. Then you have shows like Blade and Double that blur the lines between the two.

They are from Terebi Kun magazines I think. You could probably sieve through the 10+ years of scans to find more, I do wonder if there's a compilation somewhere.
>>15626142
That's definitely not from Terebi-kun. That looks aesthetically pleasant rather than a rainbow colored vomit.
>>15626470
My mistake, I just spotted TV Magazine credited in >>15625457 so it's Terebi without the -kun.

Does anyone have a translation?
