In my Opinion this is my favorite Trainbot of those that have come out, I like how yukikaze\'s robot mode looks, the train mode is beautiful being identical to the shinkansen 200, and the combiner/gattai mode well looks good at first sight, already having a frontal image of Raiden I have to say that it looks better than the other images where I took them at certain angles.

and I\'m glad that Kaen complements the rest of the thighs since Getsuei and Yukikaze only have the most, so they look longer, and just to say I never expected Yuki to have Raiden\'s head, I was just surprised and glad to see ya Raiden a little more.

I hope I can get yuki.

 

Yeah, in the second photoshop the proportion of revealed pieces are overly exagerated, could someone shrink them on the first pic?

Wakey, wakey…Preorders are up and available.  

 

The train mode looks good but those are some seriously hollow legs.

 

For anyone wondering, here it is. This is also how we know the fins can fold in for a more toon accurate look...



Butthead!! huh huh huh huh huh

I'm not sure anything covers the front of Shouki. They went to the trouble of adding some transformation steps only for combined mode that rotate the train nose so it is visible in combined mode where it is in the cartoon, and the split butterflied cab sides kinda complete some of that look. So I doubt it gets covered by Kaen. Possibly some panels flip up the sides of the abs to give more blocky grey abs, but dont see any sign of that yet.

That said, Kaen is a small train, but not as small as that crotch looks in the sillhouette! He has to do something else. I'm thinking likely he fills in the lower back/sides part of Raiden as that is pretty gappy when it's only Shouki folded up...

What's with AE's messed up conversions??? 14400 JPY is 108 USD, but they write 140 in the listing!?

I don’t know why AE wrote a wrong price / conversion in the listing. There was previously a similar situation with MP-56 Trailbreaker.

 

En mi Opinión este es mi Trainbot favorito de los que han salido, me gusta como se ve el modo robot de yukikaze, el modo tren es hermoso siendo identico al shinkansen 200, y el modo combinador/gattai bien se ve bien a primera vista, ya teniendo una imagen frontal de Raiden tengo que decir que se ve mejor que las otras imagenes donde las tome en ciertos angulos.

y me alegro de que Kaen complemente el resto de los muslos ya que Getsuei y Yukikaze solo tienen la mayoría, por lo que se ven más largos, y solo para decir que nunca esperé que Yuki tuviera la cabeza de Raiden, solo me sorprendió y me alegró verte Raiden un poco más.

Espero poder conseguir a yuki.

The next will be Suiken, then Seizan and in the end it will be Kaen, I don't say it, I say it in the 1987 Raiden G1 Commercial
just in case I also made calculations and Suiken will be announced in November this year.

 

Conversion difference you see are for the "processing fee" 

 

I am starting to think that a repainted reissue of RID Railracer would offer superior value.

 

TakaraTomy posted a special video of Trainbot.

 

Non region blocked promo video.

 

I'm not a fan of how high Raiden's backpack rises up over the shoulder line like Sunstreaker. I kind of wish they'd used Shouki's legs to fill in the torso instead.

 

Yeah it's not super accurate or clever that part. Guess they ran out of space for moving parts/joints to do anything more than curl his legs up in a ball for combined mode.

 

Oh boy those transformation animations!!! Porn!!

If they're gonna use their CG models for this kind of stuff, hell yeah!!

I wonder if the Japanese text is full of disclaimers like toy does not drive under own power, toy can not fly, nor transform itself, nor run, jump, etc. Like they would have to over here!  

 

is this the same animation team that been making the baller as fuck diaclone promo shorts?

 

Definitely waaay more polished than the 3p offerings!

I can't wait for more combiners from this line! The only reason I won't be getting this one is because my collection stops at the beginning of season 3 (end of the OG TF movie).

 

Thats actually really cool.

 

Well spotted!

Looks like you were spot on with your transformation scheme!

I quite like the THICC version of Raiden, I think Shouki's feet add to that hulk-like silhouette.
