I like the look, I think. But there seems to be even less articulation than ToQ-Oh has.

What's with the rainbow Red Ressha?

Also, DieselOh is EXACTLY what I wanted from ToQGer

EDIT: Can anyone translate a release date for this big boy?

He looks like a brightly painted cardboard model. Still like it though.

Looks awesome, but what I want is that rainbow Red Ressha. :lol

It'd be cool if the inevitable translucent Minipla ToQoh had the same rainbow plastic as that Red Ressha.

The Rainbow Ressha is apparently a bonus for JP retailers to include with the Diesel Oh set.

APRIL FOOLS!

Wait...that is actually what it looks like?

Really?

Oh.

Well it will take a whole to get used to but thus far I like it, and that Ressha.

Damn, already got Car Carrier and Tank, no rainbow nightmare resha for me!

Release date is around the 18th I think, might be the 25th. I know its back end of the month.

Not the greatest looking mecha, but like all of the Go-onger mecha, its not about the individual robots, its all about the clusterf*ck combination along the way (and at the end). Plan on picking up Diesel soon as it hits Mandarake, maybe ebay. Must have either way!

Not to shabby looking. But it does give a 'card board box' giant robot feel to it.

I kinda dig it.

18th is good.

25th will be a bit of a pain.

It is very Showa Sentai.

Those cardboard boxes actually looked like robots. Rather than a robot that looks like a load of cardboard boxes, which this thing does. There is a major difference.

Essentially this.
I'm not a big fan of robots that are intentionally boxy like Diesel Oh.

I must be crazy. I really love this guy. Looks very much like it's related to the Daibouken, which of course means I'll love it.

At least said boxes are boxcars and other bulky, angular freight cars.

Looking forward to your review of it.

This looks like something out of Transformers G1. Or Diaclone.

theyve both got the same level of articulation :D

Technically DieselOh will have knees...

Bending ninety degrees FORWARD.

Oh...

Wow that's crummy-looking.

Right? I'm amazed by the positivity of something so unequivocally crappy.

While I agree it does look like boxes posing as a robot rather than a robot made of boxes, at least this does have a decent justification; Diesel Ressha's cars are made up of boxcars plus a flatcar carrying containers colors like its merge-mates.

I love it because I wanted a freight train robo and got it. I'm taking what's given rather than complaining about how silly it looks.

But couldn't they I dunno...try? They literally just put the trains in a line and stick a head on it, I'm not even oversimplyfing it, that is the whole gimmick.

Like I don't get how you can support something that is simultaneously lazy, while looking like shit while it is at it. It looks like a zero articulation bootleg of something way better.

the only thing that looks worse than this is the combo with ToQoh

As I mentioned previously with Tokkyu-Oh, I plan on waiting until Bandai Of America releases their Zord Builder version.

Me and you are probably both crazy then.

He's a step above Tokkyuoh, that's for sure.

I love it's design, but it seems a little uncomfortable.

Nope, sorry, but it looks pretty awful.

And that's from someone who LOVES the Kyoryuger mecha. They can be incredibly simple and not suck at the same time, just look at Gokaioh and Dekaranger Robo, very simple but two of the best Sentai mecha ever through looks and awesome gimmicks alone.

But you're missing the point of the design I think. They meant it to look like Boxes because it's made of worker cars. Boxcars. They deliberately made it look like a bunch of boxcars.

Y'know, I really wish Tokkyuger took ques from Might Gaine…it's not impossible to design good looking train combiners…it just takes a little IMAGINATION

But that doesn't mean it doesn't look shitty.

"Hey look it's designed to look shitty so that is okay!"

What the fuck is this, moon logic?

While I agree this isn't the prettiest robot ever, I'd hardly call Gokai Oh one of the best ever. I like it but it's a hollow half transforming mess. It should not be counted among such wonderful examples as Deka Robo, Gao king, Dai Bouken and the like. Each marvels of DX engineering.

I'm not looking for Diesel Oh to set a new standard or anything really. Just less parts forming after last years abominations.

It looks campy.

at least he has a hand.

Them legs... They looked a bit too long.

Its hollow because of its gimmick, so I don't consider that a problem considering how much fun the gimmick becomes and because even though he's hollow, he's very sturdy and heavy, plus Gokaioh is one of the best looking (in my opinion, of course) Sentai mecha we've gotten and definitely one of the funnest thanks to his gimmick and accompanying auxiliaries. His transformation is just as uninvolved as Dekaranger Robo, who looks fantatic but has a less interesting gimmick line-wise so I don't think he should get a pass and not Gokaioh. WAY above ToQger's line-up so far of trains that line-up and auxillaries that do absolutely nothing but limb-swap. Then again, as much as I love my DX mecha and continue to collect them, I personally don't consider any of them deserving of being called marvels except possibly Magiking, even the more complicated ones like Gaoking and Daibouken are still very basic.

I don't regret getting ToQoh, but he's still uninspired and uninteresting outside of his functionality with the ToQ Changer and the rest of the line so far has been really quite lame, the Diesel Train at least is more interesting then the Car Carrier and Tank Trains, but it really isn't hard to beat them. Kyoryuger's mecha weren't fantastic and are definitely love 'em or hate 'em, but they were gigantic (a bonus that Gokaioh somewhat has too) and had fun music gimmicks, while ToQger's line doesn't really have anything to give it an edge. Of the three mentioned simple mecha, Gokaioh is simple to support his line-wide opening gimmick and Dekeranger Robo and Kyoryujin both had electronics. Just seems lame that ToQger's mecha have nothing like that to justify the fact that they do pretty much nothing when combined.

I love it,and not just to spite Locke.I think it brings the bulky power look that it contains.I mean it's called Diesel-Oh,of course it's going to look boxy and big,it's the muscle mecha of the group.

That being said,it isn't the prettiest,but let's be honest.If this was shit on the show,then they wouldn't have let it pass in design.It probably looks amazing in motion on the show,but this is the toy.

I love it for it's big,broad look,and it shows that it is the brawler of the group.Let's face it,we have all criticized mecha before in the past only to eat our own words with the final form.I honestly think the combination beyond the first two mecha will be fantastic.(I.e. ToQ-Oh+Diesel-Oh+....)

Also,to be fair,there are some sweet looking ressha coming out that could really spice up the combinations.
