I have to say though, the 4th form only works so well because the 2nd and 3rd forms were getting progressively uglier. You were expecting it to be some hideous gigantic beat thing, instead its all clean lines and a callback to the 1st from but now purer. Thats (part of) the reason its so iconic.

I always wonder if third form was Toriyama going "hmm, been a while since he's done anything new, guess I'll have him transform again" and realizing NOPE ABORT ABORT when it occurred to him this would be the guy Goku's fighting for the rest of the arc.
Nah, when he uses his third form it's clear there's one more already. That's probably why Toriyama went with such a busy design. The whole point was making the final form contrast with the previous ones more.
