I just finshed my Ace as well. I had some fun with the retrofires and gundams afterward. I think Im in love with these things now. Can't wait to the other two.

The Ace that I ordered last week from Japan arrived today. I look forward to working on it in the next few days. I started PatStriker yesterday, so I'll probably try to finish that one first.

The remaining Buster Machines for the other two Go-Busters have finally been released!
First out of the gate is the GT-02 system, used by Blue Buster. The centerpiece of this Zord is Blue's BuddyRoid, Gorisake Banana- And just like Nick's toy, he appears to be made of leftover Goseiger & Gokaiger accessories. The crux of GT-02 is this massive tanker systems- which can also carry the weaker Zords. Adding Gorisake to the Machine doesn't change too much this time around except for the delicious irony of "Munky-Trukk Zord" :P GT-02 is a massive parts former; requiring the truck mode to be taken completely to pieces for converting between forms. I can't remember a single Zord with this much assembly required in recent years. 02's Beast Mode looks OK but the most important feature from the show (his explosive banana-missiles) are sadly not included here. The Zord is completely immobile, which is a big disappointment. GT-02 is a big step downward from Ace, lacking the easy & functional transformations that made the first Buster Machine so enjoyable. The optimism i had for this line is somewhat diminished. |

RH-03 is the Yellow Buster Machine, operated by Usada Lettuce-
who doesn't even get the minimal articulation Nick & Gorisake showed off. Not that surprised Japan cut features for "the girl." 03's default Vehicle Mode is a helicopter- And in this case the necessity of the Buddyroid cockpit is especially noticeable. Compare with Lettuce attached- The copter toy just looks incomplete without it. RH-03's Beast Mode is a first for Super Sentai- The Rabbit Zord! Transformation is much easier than 02's forms and the link between modes is much more obvious. So while this one isn't quite as good as CB-01, its definitely a step back in the right direction. |

Lets Combining!
With enough experience & Enetron under their belts, the Go-Busters can unite all Go-Buster Machines to create Go-Buster Oh! The fusion of elements here is fairly creative; every piece of the Buster Machines is required for the combinations and the connection between Machines is stable and still allows a fair amount of Megazord-grade articulation. However, visually the combination is kind of a mess. The eccentric kibble resulting from Gorisake alone is enough to throw off the unity of the design while Rabbits' apparently weak arms don't match the required "superior fighting force" image we would usually expect with such a combo. Ultimately Go-Buster Oh is a bit of a letdown; there were obviously some good, creative ideas with this series but for some reason they've been crushed under the "Tradition" Sentai Mecha tropes. Mildly recommended. And since I'm probably not the only one who noticed this resemblance during the first combination Episode: |

In copter mode, the hands flip down to create the illusion of cockpit, it's not very good, but it's an attempt.
