    The ankle piece is the only reason to buy the set.

    God Ginrai doesn't need a sword, the guns look kind of meh and wing extensions, Articulated hands would have been nice or a new piece to fix the tollerances with the God Cannon would have been better than weapons you don't need when you have Jin Choken power.

    He lost Jin Choken power when he separated from the human Ginrai.
    The sword is from his fight with Deathsaurus if people wanted to recreate that scene.
    Some people might want no hollow guns.

    I do agree that articulated hands would be a good thing to have.

    Maybe their next accessories will be bodies for Cab, Minerva, and Go Shooter.

    Right you are, I had forgotten he had a sword in his last fight. I do think the guns they have designed have too much going on to look good with the figure though.

    I would be down for some Headmaster Jnr transtectors though, especially if they'll look as good asthe standalone Ginrai cab.

    I read that as "Gin Chicken" power. Now I want a drunken chicken accessory. Get on it, PE.

    Worst case, the guns and sword can be used by a CW combiner. Size should work out okay.

    The wing add on is useless and it will add on weight to the wing which will point downwards in godbomber robot mode.

    I am expecting a fix to stabilise the wings not to move along with arm in godmother robot mode.

    I am not going to buy a million CD repaints but I am really tempted by this guy. I know I should wait to get the "real" Powermaster Prime but that mold looks fantastic in black.

    And thus, everything that made me look at Godbomber or God Ginrai askew had been fixed, again. Someone at PE must love this thing.

    If they do, I'm sure it'll cost less than the individual sets and have extra bits they won't offer anywhere else.

    Like many Perfect Effect kits, I want one thing from it, and nothing else. The sword looks sweet (much like the one from the Menasor upgrade that I'm still butthurt I wasn't able to snag by itself), and it looks more proportional than the one that comes with Godbomber, but I'm not buying all the other stuff just for a sword. My God Ginrai is pretty stable, and I'm cool with the wings in the stock formation, so I'm really not into this.

    I don't get the reasoning for the wings. It's not from anything and it's not even necessary. The arm/foot piece looks great though and so does the sword, but those guns are a no go. If you want big guns, the original PM Prime guns work great. They should have replaced the tiny connector for his shoulder cannon because the plastic they used for it is flawed.


    ...why does Blurr even need a sword? That seems like an awfully specific request for something he never had.

    For me a huge part of the godbomber figure is that although it is a parts former there is storage for all the parts which means it "fully transforms" to vehicle to bot to god ginrai armor and all parts are used in the process.

    With pc18 i dont see how it fully transforms. I.e. what happens to the big sword in godbombers bot mode...where does the helmet go in god ginrwi mode etc.

    I will need to know this before i decide to buy pc18.

    To me pc 16 is worth it. Pc 15 is not worth it but it is a requirement otherwise pc16 will not fully transform to a truck.

    Pc18...works in god ginrai mode...works kinda in godbomber vehicle...need to see it work in godbomber bot mode.

    Pc-16 will fully transform from bot to truck without pc-15, won't it won't do without 15 is have a supermode head. The main part of 18 that works with godbombers bot mode is the ankle stabilizers/arm fillers

    How?

    Godbomber bot has the shoulder cannon that is unchanged. He has two hands.

    PC18 adds one big sword and 2 big guns. How does he carry 3 weapons and look reasonable.

    Additionally, Godbomber in bot mode has very very weak elbows meaning his arms cannot support any weight. If he is not carrying anything. He can lift his arms and pose a little bit. If he is carrying something, anything, his arms will go down. My experience is that godbomber cannot even carry his small sword in bot mode in any poeable position.
