Henshin question

Of all the shows and movies I've watched, every single one had henshin sequences, except for Kaiju films. To be fair, I've seen Kamen Rider W, Super Sentai (Zyuuranger, Dairanger, ToQger), and Ultraman (80 and 7) plus a few Kaiju film.

Is there any tokusatsu out there, besides Kaiju, that doesn't have transformations of either heroes or villains?

  • Robotto Keiji's lead hero is a robot and while he doesn't transform per se he does take off his suit before the action starts
  • Janperson and Jiban are both robots that don't transform
  • The lead heroes in Akumaizser 3 are monsters
  • Red Baron and Mach Baron are both giant piloted robots
  • The characters in Andro Melos are warriors from the Land of Light of the Ultra franchise but don't occupy a human
  • Patlabor The Next Generation is a sequel to the Patlabor movie continuity and follows a police unit that utilizes piloted robots
  • There's a handful of shows starring delinquent girls that were made to appeal to tokusatsu fans, idol fans and to teenagers in general. This includes Sukeban Deka, Shoujo Commando Izumi, Hana no Asuka-gumi!, Sailor Fuku Hangyaku Doumei, etc.

Jiban doesn't have a henshin sequence, but he has a human form.
