Award for simplest transformation? I think this is simpler than Dekaranger Robo as it has only 3 mecha, but at least it is a unique transformation because it's not just a body and 4 limbs.
Handling Engine DaiShogun (who is a repaint/remold of EngineOh) for the first time this weekend, I do appreciate all the extra locking switches the BoJ version has over the BoA one. What I like about Go-Onger is all the interchangeability. You've got 4 core "Oh"s made up of 3 vehicles each, and then there are the combined modes. Unlike Kyoryuger, the arms are all unique, too, and not just remolds of 2 base bodies. |

I don't feel that it's all that simple but my definition of that might be skewed. I really love this thing
And don't even get me started on Dai Shogun. I love that thing. It's a glorious repaint/slight remold of this beauty. Dai Shogun is one of the best movie debut mecha in sentai history! I can't wait to get to that gallery.

Also.. why did it have to be Go-Onger month this month? This is gonna make me want to buy Toripter and Jetras this month so I can finish Engine DaiShogun G12 Black ver. I just spent a lot last month and was hoping to not be tempted to make any major purchases in July.

schlagwerk makes a great point about simplicity. EngineOh's design is very simple, but that is part of the charm. Compared to some of the more involved and busy designs of the era, this one is sort of a throwback to another time. Again with the Super Robot stuff.

An anime OVA would be PERFECT for the Go-onger. You could really do all of the over the top stuff which would be possible in the medium. I mean, I'm picturing big animated sound effects during battle and overly expressive meka, like BeaRV with a pulsating vein in her "forehead"... this stuff writes itself, heh.

Nope Daishogun never got a US release.

I'm dissapointed he never got one, because it might be a little easier to find. And also happy he never got one because BOA never got the chance to f-it up.

Though I'm pretty sure you'd have a better time getting a Legacy Dragonzord and Legacy Titanus out of BoA than you would trying to find the Micro Zords version of Engine Daishogun. Holy Crap! Movie Toy Spoiling Shinkenger! I just noticed that! |

Daishogun is a glorious set. I'd hate to see how BOA would've screwed it up.
