MPG-03 Masterpiece Gattai YUKIKAZE: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff 

I can't fathom the fact it'll be Raiden, and not the constructacons

I can’t fathom why they didn’t do this EARLIER.

​@@Roboshi2007about to say exactly that.

@@Roboshi2007 at least theyr using Raiden as a test subject and not devy

​@@Roboshi2007 bc raiden is quite popular in japan and back when his og toy was released both im diaclone and eventually in transformers it sold like hot cakes not to mention how popular trains are in japan

G1 Origins Soundwave

Mine did😢 just one leg on the black slider

The left knee on mine was totally broken on one side of the hinge. Now I’ve got to wait multiple days before I’ll hear back from BBTS about getting a replacement.

I think it does as raiden himself will scale with combiner wars

These trainbots are from the Japanese headmasters cartoon.

​@@emgo316Have you watched it? It's great.

nothing I can do about it. it is what it is.

Vehicle mode-wise, the scale was purposefully made to fit with the model train HO scale, which ends up putting their robot modes at the perfect height with the rest of the MP line in terms of cartoon-accuracy. Despite them being trains, the characters only stood a head taller than the standard Autobot Cars, which is the same size as all of the other combiner robots. Much like the current-day mainline stuff, the robot modes are the sole focus of scale in the MP line, which gives the designers freedom to have the toys be whatever size in alt mode. Unfortunately, mass-shifting isn't exactly possible to replicate in the real world, never mind with a toy lol.

I find it weird too, but i guess these guys are very popular in Japan because the japanese love trains, but oh well. Kudos to Takara for at least going for a combiner other than the ones that are flooding the market thanks to the 3rd party companies

I think the trainbots are the first combiner aside from constructiocns in diaclone toyline

​@@nucleonegro9762 Yeah it's like if the Japanese were asking why does the NES Classic have Tecmo Bowl, a game that's mainly popular in America.

I think it's because it's unlikely that these guys would get releases in the mainlines, so less competing with themselves this way.

Same it would have been much easier if they picked any other combiner but Raiden or devastator but I'm guessing they licked Raiden because that's what Japanese fans want I agree Raiden is rad but, as their first effort its not the best idea
