The mecha certainly is interesting looking. I'll give the show a shot, just hope it's better/less over the top childish than Kyoryuger.

OMG...........this is must be a dream...must be....

Worst Super sentai design ever. Even an amature designer could make better design than this.

I couldn't believe that BANDAI / TOEI confirm this horrible design.

Tokyuger should feel sorry for their senior sentai series.... :(

I agree.

So I like the Tokkyuger stuff, but it makes me wonder, did PLEX/Bandai/Toei anticipate such negative feedback? And more importantly, what do Japanese kids think? Do you think they'll like it?

Kids and train fans my like it more. But there's a general consensus going around on Japanese and English speaking boards that most people hate it :lol Kids are as always a different story and I can see them loving it. I myself have warmed up to everything over the course of the day. Perhaps the only thing that really even bugs me at this point is the chest emblem. Kids will probably be a lot easier to sway from dislike to like than adults. Give them the flashy crazy show and they'll change tune. I'm interested to see the direction the show goes in. At this point hoping for more comedy to help pull off the costumes.

I could.

Red could've still been the chest. Only it would've had the front pop off, the rest fold on itself so the sides connected together, and the roof faced forward. Leaving the front of the boiler to become the chest piece as it does now.
Green could've still been the leg it is. But the top third would've folded to become half the waist piece, and the rest would've been the leg with the cab becoming the foot.
Blue would've done the same. But wouuld've had an extra peice to snap onto the waist and cover the train connections and give him a proper belt/waist.
Pink and Yellow would've still been arms. With their fronts folding up to become shoulders, and the hands coming out of the back of the train. And because of the design would've had proper elbow joints. Inexcusable with all that room in those damn things that it doesn't have them now. Lazy.
And still could keep the gimmick about different trains becoming different hand weapons.

I'm holding out for a Go-Busters. I thought the Go-Busters suits were horrible at the start, but the more I fell in love with the show, the more I fell in love with the suits. Although Go-Busters did have Ace... Then other shows, like Dairanger, which I thought had some of the coolest suits I'd ever seen turned out to really not be that great and it just sorta felt like great suits got wasted. So I can give this show a chance.

Your design is very Transformers, and most Transformers combiners don't even think that far. Did you think Bandai would have gone to such an extent? :lol

Besides, it would cause lots of gaps in the train modes, and ruin the rainbow look they were going for. Acceptable sacrifices, perhaps, but likely not to Bandai who is trying to appeal to train collectors too.

All I'm going to say is that they don't have to look like what they're protecting.They could have the mecha finisher be it pulling out the sword and dashing toward the enemy on the Rainbow Rail.

I guess they could have, and it might have made for a better design. Still, this was their design choice, so I guess this was the only way to pull it off.
