    If it was constructicons and stunticons with all the extra backpack, I would probably have a bit more issue, but the backpacks and train kibble work for this release.

    This. Takaratomy are taking DIRECT inspiration from the Diaclone Trainbots toys!
    Even a blind person can see that... :lol

    They are a full Hybrid style, paying homage to every toy (and artwork) incarnation, just because it's their first Raiden in a... 30 years?

    The MPG Raiden Gelstat combined Head design is literally an updated homage of the original G1 Diaclone/ Headmaster Trainbot.....

    Yep, but it can fold the wings for a better animated resemblance. But the backpacks are also in the animation model, and the Raiden in the cartoon is the Diaclone one, without the Borat swimsuit.

    Please refrain from posts like this. It seems more than intentional. Thank you.

    The arms are absolutely the most exciting for me. They just look awesome. I found getsuei to be a bit of a pain and feel Yukikaze will carry some of those traits; but I adore everything about Seizan and Suiken so far!

    The MSRP (without Japanese sales tax) for Seizan is higher than the previous MPG Trainbots.

    MPG-01 Shouki 18,000 yen
    MPG-02 Getsuei 16,000 yen
    MPG-03 Yukikaze 18,000 yen
    MPG-04 Suiken 18,000 yen
    MPG-05 Seizan 20,000 yen
