あなたの投稿した画像を見て昔持ってた懐かしいトレインロボが再­びほしくなった。でもトランスフォーマー版として復活したライデ­ンの復刻版が出たら買いたいですね。

[BustersTexas]

@MrKotoyuki そこにはあなたが住んでいる場所に高価では[OK]をありがとう­私に言ったことです。

[MrKotoyuki]

@BustersTexas そちらの国でもダイアクロンシリーズはどれくらいの値段で売って­るんですか?

[super58173]

Huh. They run on actual model train tracks.

[carnut015]

I love the flying sequences. Lots of work went into these commercials, clearly.

[nitrodudezoom]

arent these guys the "trainbots" from the headmasters cartoon

[dryspud]

Y'know people say this looks like transformers...but to me it looks more like Power Rangers

[translego1]

i know i would buy it

[brutusmuerto]

Better than Astrotrain's useless "astroforce" train troops. =)

[MaxRebo120]

This would become Raiden, right?

[accent361]

WTH? It's RAIDEN from TF Headmasters!!! How could they pretend that this guy is another clone of Raiden??!!!

[PDS1990]

I don't get it. "Train Robo"?

[plasticfetish]

Remember... you're looking at the Diaclone version of this toy, and not the Transformers version that came out later.

[666demonknight666]

In the movie Raiden looks cool but the toy suck.

[mrmnmischief]

i whould give my fist born for a mint in box set

[staysindoors]

0:08 diaclone train drobo:-)!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

[Modeltrainguy]

WOW! That's awesome! ^_^ うわー！それは素晴らしい！^_^

[Natester555]

I am a huge fan of the Trainbots!

[mrmnmischief]

me 2 i even have teh tri combiners from transformers us

[SUPREMEZAIN01234]

This commericial is base on the train robo, which could combine into Raiden. Can be seen in the headmasters serires only.

[6arcsn1sky]

They should have been the ones to kick Devastator's ass in the first movie, instead of the Dinobots. I wonder why Hasbro could not market them?

[huryochagi]

imo, Raiden is much cooler than the dorky Defensor. He should've been in G1, not the Protectobots.

[6arcsn1sky]

Well, honestly, the Autobot combiners was not enough for them to challenge Devastator, Menasor, Bruticus, Predaking, and Abonimus.

[huryochagi]

The Autobot giants were just too wimpy. The Decepticon giants were much better designed.

[6arcsn1sky]

Well, I still wish that they should be sold in the American market and be in the G1 cartoons.

[huryochagi]

Yep, but Raiden is an exception, he's awesome!

[Pikachubby]

@6arcsn1sky

I think there's another one called Piranacon on the (Hasbro) Deceptions side and if we can add this Trainbot Raiden (could against Piranacon); Omega Supreme (against Devastator) & Sky Lynx (against Predaking) on the (Hasbro) Autobot side then both sides is evenly match.

[DiscothecaImperialis]

@6arcsn1sky That's why Raiden appears in TF: The Headmasters, and the storyline said they outclassed Devastator and on par (or even just-above) Predaking

[6arcsn1sky]

@DiscothecaImperialis Interesting, but Hasbro and maybe Sunrise should had brought this group in the first place for either seasons or the movie.

[Rodimus78]

Hasbro couldn't marketed most japanese tfs because they're cheap. they didn't want to take risks in which they thought were playing safe, that's why they've been distributing those stupid Action Masters instead of Star Saber and God Ginrai. They wanted to cash in on the TMNT hype at the time and that's a dangerous tactic and that killed G1 and that's why the Trainbots weren't included, and that's why I HATE Hasbro and those shit-headed transfans for selling out to Hasbro from Takara.

[IoriYagami288]

Another reason why the Trainbots didn't get Hasbro treatment was because the trains each bot transform into were of Japanese designs unfamilliar in the west even though Astrotrain who believe it or not transforms into a Japanese steam locomotive.

[greatrey]

The Trainbots were too Japanese for American kids. That's what Hasbro thought. Too bad, they would've been kickass in the American TF series.

[theprimo100]

@greatrey not untill RID...

[digipeeper]

Even if he became a Transformers, he was never released here in the U.S. I wonder if he was tougher then Superion, Defensor or Computron?

[insecticon77]

Raiden is by far the most complex G1 gestalt. Little wonder Hasbro didn't release it - lost of tiny parts and quite fragile compared to the Scramble City combiners.

[SturmvogelPrime]

The Train Robo appeared in the Transformers Headmasters line, the gestalt is named Raiden.
