Shinkenger's gimmick was technically the Hiden Discs.. and multiple modes. And if we want to continue the collectible gimmick listing, prior to that was Engine Souls.

I don't care what the gimmick is as long as I can't directly point to it being the reason the toys are 2-step transformation arms/legs/torso combinations.

I'll also accept each part turning into an individual robot mode ala VRV Robo, though.

Shiny Time Station Rangers!

Good point as I completely forget about the discs. And before the engine souls came the Hurricanger discs. Man, gotta catch them all. Here's hoping this season's gimmick doesn't get in the way of the toys being fun.

Is it weird that i look at the idea for this team and this is what pops into my head.

Official Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger News and Rumors thread!
 

Almost time the new team to makes their debut, are you all ready? Here's what we know so far!

They'll be numbered not named by their colors. (Tokkyuger 1, Tokkyuger 2)
They'll use Electronic Tickets to Henshin.
The show is aimed at Train Lovers and Children alike, so we can expect many different kinds of trains.

Let me the rumors start up in this!

I'll double and get this party started.

My guess is that each individual Sentai will get their own Train, and those trains will become individual robots. It's been a long time since that happened. I think the last time was Carranger. And with trains, you have the space inside for a Limb mode and a Robot mode.
It's something I wish the Dinos did in Kyoryuger.

All I want is a bullet train that turns into a gun, and a steam engine that turns into a lasso/whip.

Wait, Sentai, don't we have a thread like this stickied?

Yes, yes we do :lol

To the merge-mobile!
