SD versions of my revamped Kamen Rider Wu Xing

Missing: Hip Guards, Star Buckle, and Final Form

Since I can't find/use larger pixel works, I'll put the updated description here.

On the distant edge of the galaxy, there existed a planet populated by human-like beings known as Wuxing. The Wuxing had a substance in their blood, similar to chi of chinese legend. This substance allows the Wuxing to manipulate the five elements of Wood, Water, Metal, Earth, and Fire. The Wuxing lived in peace, until the arrival of the war-monging race known as the Gunavig. The Gunavig laid waste to the Wuxing's homeworld, with a few groups escaping in the remaining spacecraft.

The survivors scattered, heading different directions throughout the galaxy. One ship landed on Earth, in ancient China. The Wuxing survivors taught their ways to the humans. However, Earth lacked the resources neccessary for the Wuxing to prolongly survive. The Wuxing began to die out, leaving behind a star-shaped amulet to preserve their history and ways. The humans they had befriended named what they learned from them Wu Xing, in their honor.

Akiro Samoto was born in Japan, and moved to China with his parents when he was five. His mother died of cancer a few years later. Akiro spent his childhood in China, learning martial arts and their philosophies. By the time he was 21, Akiro had mastered The Five Elements Fists of Xingyi and wanted to return to his roots and left for Japan, bringing with him a crusted star-shaped amulet that had 5 colored gems embedded into it which he had found in some ancient ruins while he was doing his final training before departing.

A few days after meeting up with his childhood friend, Daisuke, Akiro ran into a burning building to save a child. When the two of them were trapped, something miraculous and strange happened: the amulet restored itself, and the fire has held back just by Akiro holding out his hand.

Unbeknownst to Akiro, the Gunavig picked up its power signals. The Comander of the army was furious at a job unfinished and made hast to Earth. Unfortunately, their ship passed through the solar system's asteroid belt, damaging the exterior of the ship. When they arrived at Earth, their thrusters were so damaged that they couldn't land, and interference from Earth's magnetic feild and varying electro-magnetic waves were jamming their equipment. The Gunavig had to stay in orbit and could only teleport one of their soldiers at a certain time.

After the incident in the burning building. Akiro took the amulet to his father, who had high-tech knowledge and owned a large company he used to work for. When scanning the amulet, a program that identified itself as ZHI (Zeta-level Historical Intelligence) escaped from the amulet and entered the company's server. ZHI explained that the amulet has bonded with Akiro, and that he now had the ability to manipulate the elements like the Wuxing. Akiro's father, with much struggle and time constraint, build a system that would allow the amulet to release its elemental energy in the form of an armored battle suit. Akiro set out to make sure the Earth was safe from the Gunavig and any other threats.

And thus, Akiro became Wu Xing based on what the Gunavig cursed him as, while children in Japan soon dubbed him Kamen Rider Wu Xing.

Henshin Process:
1. Akiro removes the amulet from its lanyard and places over his waist, releasing energy that transforms into a belt
2. Akiro calls out "Henshin!" and spins the star buckle
3. The buckle glows, then emits a larger hologram of itself in front of Akiro
4. The star points rearrange themselves to match Akiro's pose and overlap him
5. The star points condense into armor and the mask
6. Energy travels across Kiro's body, creating Wu Xing's suit as the star stops spinning

Kamen Rider Wu Xing can change what element he's using by turning the star buckle clockwise so the coresponding color points upward. To activate a finisher, Wu Xing presses the buckle, initiating a Power Up; releasing a burst of energy through the armor, in the form of holographic star points. The Colors represent what kind of Element Kamen Rider Wu Xing is using, and what powers/weapons/weaknesses come with it:

Standard Form
Color: Black
Power: No weapons or elemental powers, but the suit and armor does provide protection and increases all basic human abilities up to 88%
Finisher: The holographic star points fold on themsleves, pointing to either the legs or arms; charging the armor of the selected limb, intitiating a Rider Kick or Punch

Wood Form
Color: Green
Power: Can manipulate wood and plants, gains power by absorbing water, suit converts sunlight into energy for Akiro and the buckle, and this form increases Wu Xing's edurance
Weakness: Armor and suit is easily damaged by metal cutting attacks like a sword or ax
Weapon: When Wu Xing holds his hand out like he's holding a firearm; vines emit from his hand and forms a crossbow when they disperse, the arrows for the crossbow grow into the stock and are ready to fire, but the faster they're fired, the less effective they become, can take on effects of other plants that are placed on them (like plants that cause paralysis)
Finisher: Charges energy into the current arrow that expands once it strikes into the enemy

Water Form
Color: Blue
Power:Can manipulate water and any of it's forms (ice, vapor), gains power by rusting metal, increases Wu Xing's speed; even more in the water
Weakness: Power is drained when exposed to direct contact with soil
Weapon: Water surrounds Wu Xing's right forearm before freezing and shattering, revealing a drill
Finisher: Rushes at the enemy, using the additional speed to bore into the enemy

Metal Form
Color: Purple
Power: Can manipulate any kind of metal, gains power from absorbing minerals from the earth, increased strength but reduced mobility
Weakness: Suit and armor cannot protect against energy attacks, especially attacks that generate heat
Weapon: Metal extends from Wu Xing's hands, and a double-bladed axe head forms
Finisher: Swings the axe at the enemy, then uses the momentum of the axe to execute multiple consecutive swings

Earth Form
Color: Yellow
Power: Can manipulate any form of earth or rock, gains power by by being put under heat and/or pressure, increased strength but reduced speed
Weakness: Becomes immobile when exposed to high amounts of pollen or plant life, and is less effective against physical attacks
Weapon: Stone forms in Wu Xing's hand, then crumbles to reveal a curved sword
Finisher: Wu Xing strikes a close enemy with the sword, or strikes the ground with the sword; sending stalagmites at a distant enemy, impaling them

Fire Form
Color: Red
Power: Can manipulate fire, gains power by burning objects (preferably wood-based), constantly generates heat, friction creates a spark
Weakness: Is severely weakened by water, ice and snow have the same effect but only in large quantities, this form uses a lot of energy from both the buckle and Akiro
Weapon: Wu Xing places his right hand in front of his shoulder and left hand out in front of them, and fire emits from both hands, then disperses revealing a cannon
Finisher: Wu Xing fires a fireball at an enemy with enough force to possibly push Wu Xing back
