Henshin/Transformation Device Thread
 

Hey guys! Thought that we could use a thread to show how each henshin/transformation device you own works and the pros and cons of owning one! :)

Here's a vid of the only one I own; the OOO Driver
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBZhGxGZtIA

Pros:
Different sounds
Can scan even if medal is painted
Can scan medal through clothing (Tested)
Medals are small and easy to carry around if you have a particular favorite
Fun to play with

Cons:
Medals are more spread out now and cost more
Limited sounds (as in only "true combos" have different sounds)
Belt is too small for adult waist
Medal holder (on side) only can hold 6 medals


Show yours! :)

Sounds like great fun! I'll give it a go with some old photos I took a long time ago for TFW.

Presenting, the Mobirates from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

Pros:
-Crazy number of sounds and codes to play with:

-Some sounds are clever, such Gokai Silver's "Gooookaija?"
-Each team has a team name and catchphrase for sounds and each Gokaiger sans Silver gets a sound calling out their color
-There are mecha callouts for every team that is represented by Gokaiger auxiliary mecha, such as Magiking for Magidragon's appearance in the show
-Hilarious ones such as "Merry Christmas!"

-Ranger keys are very collectable and make for a cool sound feature
-Ranger keys and sounds are incredibly nostalgic for fans of Super Sentai
-There's a vs game in acknowledgement of Super Sentai Vs. movies
-The spring-loaded crossbones is a pretty cool play feature
-Paint job is very nice, and no stickers!
-Comes with keys of the Red Rangers of three (arguably) popular teams: Gokaiger, Shinkenger and Go-onger

Cons:
-Big and bulky
-Pokes out at the back to accomodate Ranger keys
-Cannot be stored anywhere on the Gokaigers' belt and too big to fit in a pocket.

Overall, probably the best henshin device to come out from Super Sentai in a long time, and highly recommended for fans of Gokaiger and of Super Sentai as a whole.

Gokai Celluar!

Goaki Silver's Henshin device, given to him by AbareKiller/Time Fire/Dragon Ranger, bigger than a Mobirate, it also features various sounds and gimmicks, however, it doesn't not read the keys like the Mobirate. You place a ranger key inside the scanner, and the celluar *Scans* (doesn't actually work) the ranger key, and you press the appropriate button to activate the call sign. It's big and clunky, not very smooth process, but I like the design of it, and the sounds are cool. It is a good companion piece to Mobirate.

can that chest really hold 200 keys? looks full with the ones you have already.

No, there is no way the chest can hold 200 keys, in that box there are 90 keys.

Man, I NEED to get me a Mopirates at some point, since I got Ranger Key set DX a while ago.

Also tempted by the Fourze Driver, love the sounds that it makes.

Sure, only two of these are transformation devices, three depending on what you consider a "transformation", but they are transformation devices all the same!

This picture is kinda old, but I swear I was able to get a third belt on me at one time... I distinctly remember wearing the OOO, Birth, and W Drivers at the same time. I guess I actually gained weight somehow.

guess i won't be getting that lol! i'll just save up for a custom case.


i'll have one for sale for cheap in a few weeks if interested.

The Fourze Driver or the Mopriates?

If it's the latter, I plan on waiting for the Legends Mopirates.

I own a good couple of Henshin devices
Orga Driver
Kiva Belt
Zeronos Belt (Also Zeronos's Sword)
OOO Driver (And Taja Spinner)

Unfortunately, I only have a crappy cell camera and a webcam attached to my laptop (Which makes for positioning a pain).
But if you ever want a quick review/opinion on any of those, gimme a holler.

Might as well put some input into this since I am addicted to Henshin Belts and Devices of all kinds.

I will start with the Kabuto Zecter.

Pros:
Nice shiny paint
"1 - 2 - 3 - RIDER KICK" Need I say more? :D
Great size, pretty much 1:1 on the show, maybe a bit smaller.
A good variety of sounds straight from the show.

Cons:
The biggest fault this belt has is that it doesn't have the "Clock Up" or "Clock Over" noises. This makes me sad...

Overall it is one of my favorite Henshin devices next to the Den-O belt, but that's cause I am biased and <3 everything Den-O.

I've only got the Accel Driver and TheBee Zecter, though I do own capsule Heat and Seig memories, a candy toy Kuwagata Medal and capsule switches 1-4. I would love to own more, especially the Kabuto Zecter and the W Driver, but those prices.

For someone who's never owned a Rider belt before, is it recommended that I get the Fourze driver?

^ yes, does everything it does in the show but turn you into a Rider!

See, that last part is what keeps me from buying these belts :lol

If you stack them up neatly, you can get around 110 at the very limit, as by that point you don't wanna really go past that.

But yeah it will hold more than the box says, it just depends on how you have them in there :lol

^This

I recently purchased the Deca-driver and the K-Touch so I thought I might give my 2 cents.

Deca-Driver

In my opinion, this is a very well designed belt. I really like the look of it. And the best part is that if your lazy and have the internet, you can print all the bar codes for the card reader to unlock all the sound effects.

K-Touch

A very interesting toy. It isn't as versatile as some super mode items like the Faiz Blaster but it still dose it's job.
