I don't mind there being no elbow because articulation in DX toys isn't part of the deal and I don't subtract or add points for parts-forming with Sentai mecha because part-forming has been the deal since forever but I do think they could've done better with the overall designs of the toys.

Just look at Tank Train, who was sold separately as an auxiliary mecha. His gimmick in the show is a pretty common one (punches) but the toy shows that off by plugging in the two ends of the train and nothing else. To me, there's no excuse as to why they couldn't have a Gao Bear-style punching gimmick because I don't see how that would affect its functionality as a train.

I admit I am sort of selling short the fact that they're also train toys because of personal disinterest, but honestly I don't really think that's an incredibly notable gimmick that changes anything about the toys or create much difficulty in making them. Grand Liner and Kyoretsuoh both managed to do it and still have fairly good looking mecha plus they retained more involved gimmicks. The only other train that the ToQgers are comparable to as Travelion, who I also felt was lacking.
