Liokaiser was also a six-member combiner. Plus if you really wanna get technical, there were some six-member Micromaster combiners in Operation Combination.
Not sure if anyone answered this yet... He's called "Snow Warrior" because that model of bullet train was used in the Hokkaido region (Northern Japan), a place that receives the most snow in the country. Each train is nicknamed according to either location in Japan or a certain function.
I actually owned the original Japanese version of this/these as a kid. I was lucky enough to get it while visiting my dad who was stationed in Japan. Now only if I could remember which attic/garage/box I put it in.
Funny fact: the Trainbots were originally from the same Japanese line that gave us the Autobots: From Diaclon, owned by Takara, the Car Robots subline had the Trainrobots, who could form a 6 part combiner. Also, the constructicons belonged to the same line.
I had that as a kid, from the Diaclone series. My brother got the dudes who would become the Constructicons. They were cool! The trains came with tracks and power bracket...things (they're all over the place in Japan). The constructicons came with a full-on construction site: terrain piece, plastic (or cardboard...I can't remember) i-beam girders and little plastic pellets for shoveling.
When first saw the Trainbots, I was all "oh wow, that's a cool concept!" then I saw the head and I was all "NOPE." Good review either way, thanks for highlighting these guys.
the new combiner wars figures I can totally see them make these guys out of them. I know some would suggest the arms where to leave them but the joint that firefly has for the arms can move them all the way above his head, thus they could be made into the rear of the train together with the "backpack". As for the rest it should be like with alpha bravo being the front part that can split etc. This is so easy to do.
Monstructor, Piranacon, were also 6 team combiners available in America and to complete Piranacon as a 6 team you had to order nautilator from japan in 1988 as he was not included in the giftset. Raiden was not a diaclone ever that team was part of the Headmasters series which is no available for purchase. This is what would be considered season 5 which never aired in America.
Correction there is Monstructor, Dinoking, King Poisedon aka Piranacon-sort of as 1 figure becomes a gun and doesn't combine into the main robot, Devastator, Landcross, Liokaiser, Raiden, Sixwing, Sixbuilder, Sixtrain, Sixliner and Sixturbo.
You know what, this idea actually was released as one of Transformers Cybertron/Universe Rail Racer/Raiden combiner set with all six trainbots, where was this three guys (Railspike, Rapidrun and Midnight express) and some over there guys : Overload/Overdrive, Swindle and Tankor. Yeah!
@@СлесаревФёдор-о7д If I may add on to that, here’s my head canon Trainbot names (with the RID ones) Getsuei = Midnight Express Yukikaze = Blizzard Kaen = Blaze Shouki = Railspike Seizan = Rapid Run Suiken = Dustdevil Raiden = Rail Racer
-GOD DAMMIT CODO!!!- whoops, wrong franchise. (in case you're wondering. In RWBY, yang and her voice actress (Barbara Dunkelman) have an habit of making puns, so when someone hears a pun yells GOD DAMMIT BARB)
Thanks for the video. I never knew about these guys, but i think they're quite good for that time! Oh and btw Japan gets lots of snow, so that bullet train's name makes sense.
Gosh i remember the year they had those ko easter baskets, i bought like 4 of em and im Jewish, i got superion, defensor, and a fucked half menasor half computron jobber, wish theyd do it again, i love ko's
Raiden definitely needs a third party figure. AND NO RANDOM HANDS FEET OR CHESTPIECES COMING OUT OF NOWHERE 2021 edit: Sorry for being so aggressive about the partsforming, I used to have some really bad anger issues -~-
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IVE never had seen a review like this.I am so grateful to you and I have a question:from where did you buy it? hope you have a nice day.by the way I ignored the plane sound.
the Raiden figure is actually quite nice in the sense of not being a total brick. if you think about it then you kan see that he looks like one of the power rangers megazord.
uh....devastator, raiden, piranacon (which one WAS a gun) monstructor, my FAVORITE LIOKAISER, landcross, sixbuilder, sixtrain, sixturbo, and sixwing, ahem were all six robot gestalts, so no devy and raiden were not the only two 6 robot combiners
i remember hunting down all my close by wal marts for these knock offs because their my favorite transformers next to rail racer because of my love of trains and transformers and could never find this set,but i could find all the other ones witch was unfair for me :'( and their no way im paying 50 for a knock off,i rather pay the full price for a real one if i have to unless i can find it for 20 or less but great review btw
You could quite possibly get Nautilator by himself in America, and Raiden (and, of course, the Trainbots) were Diaclone figures. Also, Headmasters was season four in Japan, as "The Rebith" never aired there.
Nice review on a rare character. I also like the knock off transformers - especially the ones that were in the Easter Baskets - I never saw him but I picked up Devestator, Superion, Defensor, Bruticus, and Menasor in Easter Baskets.
I was never able to get my hands on him but $10 is a good deal for him. But hope Raiden gets a super upgrade when he's made in the new transformers combiners wars set. Tamara will made a better version.
Y'know, I think you're supposed to turn Shouki's legs so the decals are facing front. Are they visible in any other mode? Also, does the kibble store _anywhere_ in any of the other modes? At least the Constructicons let you use them as sort of weird accessories for the vehicle modes.
I Kinda Wish The Trainbots Would Be Rebooted or Something Like That, I Love Trains & I Love Transformers & This Is Two of My Favorite Things Mashed Together But This Isn’t The Second Time Trainsformers Isn’t Combined, We Had One For OptThomas Prime!!
OK, Dude. I'm sold, where did you buy these beauties? Heck, I'm sure I speak for a lot of other people here as well as myself. Please tell us where can we get our own set of trains and hopefully a whole lot more similar stuff? Do tell, my friend, do tell!
Wow he is a GR8 for a knock off figure $10 is amazing for this guy were did you get him ebay. how tall is he I would of liked to see a size comparason great review he is amazing
REPROLABES!!!!! lol this looks cool.. i belived ther's anther train TF set realesd in US...it' like electrical hobby kit kinda stuff that transform into a jet... I THINK
Why does it sound like you constantly have a loogie in your throat? I know someone who has hpv on their vocal chords, and when it gets bad he has surgery where they zap the warts with a laser, and that makes his voice really raspy. Is that like some similar thing with you?
Yes. Though in America, the full packed Piranacon didn't come with Nautilator at first. Also, Piranacon is a mix of 6 combiner and scramble city Combiner. 4 members and the leader form Piranacon and the last member would become the weapon. According to artworks, Overbyte is mostly used as weapons. In dreamwave bio art, Nautilator becomes the weapon. It's interesting that Nautilator was in fact the last one to join Seacons. Due to that, he didn't get to adapt the fighting style of his Seacon members pretty well. This explain why he sometimes replace Overbyte to become Piranacon's weapon (replaced Snap Trap 's weapon)
G1 (Takara) 6 figure combiners ::cough:: seacons/piracon, Multiforce/landcross, Dinoforce/Dinoking, Liokaiser as mentioned before, Monstructor, and all were toys.
Why has hasbro or a third party company make an updated rye don set the auto bot have very little combiners and there are so many characters and alt mode they can explore
