I love this this thing. I was hoping the final mech would be a Dekabase-esque train station and my wish came true. I don't mind the leftover parts because it makes for a cleaner final formation, and really there is only so much they could have done with these trains.

I'm still under the impression that in Bandai's hopes to appeal to Japanese train fans as much as sentai fans, they designed these mecha so that they maintain the "integrity" of the train. Sure the Ressha make giant robots but they don't break up into complex transformations to do so. They still look like trains no matter what form they are in. I think that is why these trains look more like real trains, as opposed to other sentai train mechs.

This final formation looks worlds better than the last few due to its willingness to leave some of the kids at home. Kyoryuger didn't have all it's parts either but that mech system was flawed from the start IMO. I'm a fan and I can't wait for the minipla version.
