Default Couple of questions about Sentai

I guess they're kind of retorical unless someone's familiar enough
with Sentai to answer them

What does Sentai seem to have against fists lately. A ton of the
shows have Megazords or whatever they call them over there without
fists, just the heads of the mecha and even the tails in Abarangers'
case

It seems to follow the leader gets the glory, but everyone fights.
But with this everyone fights why have they never had special
circumstances where someone close to the team could become temporary
Rangers. Like in ZyuRanger why not have King Brachion make Barza into
a Ranger. In Abaranger they had a fairly large supporting cast and a
ton of additional mecha.

Like any other long time standing genre, they're always trying new ideas.
The latest Robo "DekaRangerRobo" has fists tho

In sentai, not every leader gets the "Glory" & it is a team effort in the
majority of cases. The leader does however, have the best weaponry it seems
and technique.

Dunno.

Because they rarely do that sort of thing, and why would the Snow
Wizard need to be one of the rangers, anyway? Now if you want random
characters becoming members of the super forces, you can go to
Gransaezar. It looks like everyone and his other brother Aki gets to
do it there.

In Abaranger, they only had five suits, and one of those carried a
death-sentence with it.

Could you explain this? I don't follow Sentai very closely. I'm
guessing AbaWhite (killer?)?

Yep, Abarkiller's Armor was a flawed Time Bomb, It's force of explosion
could easily wipe out the Earth, shown in earlier senario Flashbacks

Did he eventually die? Or did he become good, then die? Or did he just
give up his powers?

since when do their big mecha have fists to begin with anyway? their hands are generally too blocky to be fists.

True about Barza but they don't want to turn it into a thing where every recurring character becomes a warrior that's not the message they want to send the message they want to send is no matter who you are you can still make a difference in the battle even if you aren't actually in the battle.

I know Abaranger had some side cnaracters try and fail to become Abarangers. This was when they were seeing who was worthy of the power. But Sentai Teams don't generally have replacement Rangers.
