[@johnreel0161]

So basically what went wrong with this was they focused more on selling these to train collectors than to transformers collectors.

[@nujevad28]

It was made to be compatible with Tomy's train sets.

It’s the one for 170 not the individual one cause that has not been completed needs two more

[@thomasarivinImbored]

And getting all of them would cost 600 so it would not be that bad as the 170 one

[@grand_max66]

Model trains are HUGE in Japan, like one of if not the largest collectors markets in the country. So it's less the issue that Takara focused on the "wrong aspect" and more that aspect they focused on is really the only reason Raiden was made in the first place.

[@sussyjack877]

And yet they still managed to fuck that up, half of these trains don't even fit in the place of model trains due to some weird placement of the wheels lol

[@jkliao6486]

Well, then takara decided to f*ck everyone else up, because no matter how huge the train fan crowd is, it is no match for all the other transformer fans combined in other part of Asia, America, Europe, and elsewhere. In that sense, we have every single right to say that they made a wrong design choice. If you can't make it, don't make the product in the first place.

[@grand_max66]

@@jkliao6486 Due to Hasbro and Takara's agreement made back in the 80s, when Takara makes an original product without Hasbro like the MP line, they can't sell it directly to anyone outside of Japan without a 3rd party like Hasbro or a western retailer (it's why the MP line is always more expensive from non-Japanese retailers), and thus only considers the profit their products make in Japan as successes or failures. So seeing as how massive the sales for the Trainbots were, they seemed to have made the right design for their profits.

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

[@BlaqueDragun]

Yeah the focus on this set was the realistic accuracy of the train modes. I personally would recommend the Moon Studios over this as it has a great overall design and quality and isn’t an overpriced set.

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

Combiner Wars once again reigns supreme. Yes, that toyline suffered from a lack of limb variety and some torsos being worse than others, but at least they were all around the same plastic quality, were durable, and worked about the same for each limb mode. Standout limb boys were Rook/Swindle/Hound, the Skydive/Air Raid mold (so nice, they reused it in POTP twice), Alpha Bravo/Blades/Vortex, and Off-Road/First Aid/Ironhide/Trailbreaker; standout torsos were Silverbolt/Cyclonus/Scattershot and Hot Spot/Onslaught/Pyra Magna.

[@NightcoreBrawler]

Ha... My Silverbolt literally BROKE when I went to Pick him up/Take his Combined mode apart...

[@nujevad28]

Only the torsos based on the Silverbolt mold were good, Everything else was average to terrible.

[@galaxycamerata]

Nope, Sky Lynx/Dezarus and Hot Spot/Onslaught/Pyra were stellar too. Only the semi trucks really suffered.

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

Dang it, I forgot Sky Lynx! He’s honestly really fun as just a budget version of the character if you don’t want to splurge on his Earthrise version AND Sky Reign incorporates his lynx half pretty well as a compromise for him being stuck in bird-cat mode

I think MP06 Kaen causes most of problems of combiner: short legs, big ass, unstable, loose joints... in the internet, i saw some kits that replace Kaen completely and that made Raiden so much better.

[@scatterbrain8764]

This set looked promising, as Takara had a lot of training in both Tramsformers and model trains. The train modes were on the right track, for sure - but skewed priorities ended up derailing the whole package. It's hard to Express what a letdown this was - the combined mode can't pull the weight of its own carriage, and unless stationed on its stand, it falls over like it was shot with a Bullet. Though, it's hard to say if the Moon Studios version is better, since many copies are reported to brake down. But at the end of the day, this release was a trainwreck - a steaming pile of coal. Honestly, I think it could've turned out better if it was done in CHUG. ...And that's just about every train pun I could fit in there.

[@DanDen-gh7si]

I feel they really should have made trainvots that were normal and then have trainbots that were focused on the train aspect and the combine part was just a side feature

[@clockwork3494]

Yeah, it's a huge letdown for both demographics. Transformers fans won't want it because it's super flimsy when combined and even on their own the figures still have their own issues, meanwhile train fans won't want it either since they could easily buy more intricate models that run and function for the same price as these figures. Takara could've easily compromised to appeal to both target demographics but due to the focus on one, now neither want it in the end, which is such a bummer too since train transformers outside of Astrotrain feel like a rarity.

they should just make and sell the train and don't make it transform because their engineer are suck a$$

[@novaexplosion8257]

I've sort of switched to collecting just core class now, and the occasional bigger bot, and I feel like a Raiden could work at that scale? making accurate modes isn't necessary, because it's legends and it's small, and compromises could be made like with Volcanicus but they're trains so it probably wouldn't be as many. generally I feel like after Volcanicus, if they do a better system for arms, that size could work really well for mostly-all-inclusive combiners, 6 bots especially since then the torso doesn't have to be bigger, not really any weight concerns and they're affordable and don't have to really deal with scaling with things as much since it's all about the same height.

So I've been messing with my copy, and either I got better qc or did something different? Mine doesn't fall apart. On Kaen try turning the hip connector parts 180° so the detailed part is on the back? It changes how far Kaen's lower legs goes in. Shouki to Kaen's slider also stops at first but can go a bit further in. In combined mode his shoulders can go all the way up but you gotta make sure nothing is clashing between the wing, chest & shoulders. Yukikaze's combined ankle is actually on a screw that you can tighten. It's less of a mess but I agree, still a PAIN

I’ve seen a lot of people giving this thing a pass and for how expensive it is I just don’t see any redeeming qualities, even if you are really into the model trains. Truly sad to see this being considered a masterpiece, and even more sad to see how far takara has fallen.

[@-One_Chicago-]

Man there isn't alot of train transformers,

[@greythepercyrepaint7888]

guess you could say the combined mode causes confusion and delay

[@leGUIGUI]

I like this one over Moon Studio because, outside of the swords, each transformers can store every components of Raiden in both Train and robot mode. And even be quite good at concealing it in both modes. Somehow, I consider it more important than good articulations. I am weird like that. I see a lot of people being critical of the scale, but I'll go against the grain and actually say that this is a good call. It make so the combiner form is not too big and still remains easily manipulable (if he didn't fell apart, that's it). Also, less it make it occupies less shelve place. I think the problem with locking the leg is a tolerance issue specific to your set cause I haven't seen any other reviewers having that problem. Same with Kaen's left leg. Bad luck, I guess.

This is unacceptable. It's nice of you to review it because I think Jobby - for instance - would have an aneurysm out of rage.
