Usually Super Sentai monsters have themes, some easier to spot than others. Like Gekiranger's Rinrinshi were based on animals, some more complicated like Abaranger's Torinoids that took animal, plant and nonliving object together. Gaoranger's orgs and Dairanger's Gorma were made of ordinary human-made objects and so on and Goseiger monsters were based on insects, urban legend creatures and sea creatures mixed with robotics. Kakuranger and Shinkenger's monsters were based on Youkai, Kakuranger's Youkai were 'modernized' and Shinkenger's Youkai had some animal basis and a design flourish. But this year, its all 'bets are off,' the ones that appear in the tribute episodes--most of them do follow the theme of being related to the series that is being paid tribute to.
But the monsters in it to themselves seem to have very little in common, except for looking 'mechnical' or 'beast-like' or 'alien-like.' What common thread I do see is that they have a solid color scheme, it is a distinct and vibrant color. It's very minimal. Here I put what the monster reminds me, I'm not a monster expert so I might be wrong, I don't think the designers would agree with my decisions. The designers probably have a clear theme that I seem to be missing to understand.
Shikabanen of Episode 1 reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it exactly.
Bongan of Episode 2 reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it exactly.
Salamandam of Episode 3 reminded me of Scropion Nejire of Megaranger (Episode 19) in color scheme and other armaments. Salamandam used magic and Episode 3 was the Magiranger tribute.
Zodomas of Episode 4 reminds me of PierreBori of Timeranger VS GoGoV.
Buramudo of Episode 5 was obviously a reference to the Alienizer and looked like he would fit right at home with the other Alienizers. To the right is Angol of Dekaranger (Episode 49).
Nanonanoda Episode 6 reminds me of the monster to the right appears in Acts 5 and 20 of PGSM.
Pachacamac XIII of episode 7 obviously is the same suit as his dad from Gekiranger VS Boukenger.
Sneak Brothers of Episode 8 remind me a LITTLE of Hellhaven of Dekaranger (Ep 3).
Bowser of Episode 9 looked nothing like an Org, as the episode was a tribute to Gaoranger and I suppose he looked beast like, he was more of beast meets machine.
Yokubareed of Episode 10 reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it exactly.
Deizeiger of Episodes 11-12 is a swordsman, said to be a reference to Shinkenger but he looks like a little to me like Modified Mirage Beast Gordorum of Boukenger (33) mixed with Emperor Grumm from PRSPD and Gorgon of Magiranger.
Zaggai of Episode 13 reminds me of Kawazugami of Boukenger (9) mixed with Tomarezu of Goseiger episode 17.
Jealousit of Episode 14 appeared for the Carranegr tribute but doesn't look like a Bowsock, again he reminds me of PGSM monsters, also maybe mixed with some Megaranger monsters.
Wateru Episode 16 reminds me a bit of the monster to the right appeared in Act 28 of PGSM.
Arumadon of Episode 17 reminds of the Green Goblin for some reason or maybe Mantanna from She-Ra.
Tsukki, the Moondroid, fans say he reminds them of a mutated MagiShine because of the blue and golden armor.
Pachacamac XIII of episode 7 obviously is the same suit as his dad from Gekiranger VS Boukenger.
Sneak Brothers of Episode 8 remind me a LITTLE of Hellhaven of Dekaranger (Ep 3).
Bowser of Episode 9 looked nothing like an Org, as the episode was a tribute to Gaoranger and I suppose he looked beast like, he was more of beast meets machine.
Yokubareed of Episode 10 reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it exactly.

Zaggai of Episode 13 reminds me of Kawazugami of Boukenger (9) mixed with Tomarezu of Goseiger episode 17.
Jealousit of Episode 14 appeared for the Carranegr tribute but doesn't look like a Bowsock, again he reminds me of PGSM monsters, also maybe mixed with some Megaranger monsters.
