    It may be the name of a terrible Van Halen song, but it is most definitely in Night Train. And I'll take GnR 8 days a week.

    I love that stuff.

    EDIT - Just drove the kids to school, that song was stuck in my head the entire ride back. Word for word.

    Cheebs post was towards the origin of the true Raiden, which was enlightening at the very least towards a game we all played and loved.

    Besides... it keeps the interest in this thread moving until actual reveal. If its wst, Imma' flip a table on camera. ;)

    World’s smallest MP Raiden? Yeah I’d pinch that up.

    Yes indeed. What I am concern though right now is their quality control issue with Convoy v3, Bumble v2, and Hound. If this issue persist with future MPs, especially Raiden, then it's disappointing to see how long we've waited and how much we've saved to get the whole set, and what we get is a disastrous frail combiner.

    Shouki and Yukikaze by the way are both E0 trains if I'm not mistaken.

    At the rate that they've been trying to murder our wallets, you never know. I REALLY hope they can turn it around. Masterpieces like Inferno, Megs 2.0 and Sunstreaker are a reason I love this line.

    This. Inferno was a damn solid MP release back then. No QC issues and a joy to transform back and forth in both modes. That hidden ladder gimmick folding inside the back of Inferno was genius. Oh how Takaratomy's QC has fallen badly since those days...

    Was Inferno a China or Vietnam manufactured release?

    Wasn't Inferno's nozzle beside his head prone to stressing and scraping paint off?
