I mean, there?s Go-Buster Oh! That?s cool! I don?t love the design ? it?s just boxes on boxes, in ways that seem less effective in combat ? but the episode at least gives us the triumphant formation of the combined Buster Machine, followed by the requisite Not Facing The Explosion detonation climax shot. It feels appropriately grand, the culmination of the team acting in unison.

Even though Gobuster Oh is only a 3-part Gattai, it already looks more like a clusterfudge (the unofficial term for any Gattai that looks kind of messy) than most Q2 Gattais. The DX merchandise looks even worse, like, Gobuster Ace's legs are too big to fit properly in to the GT-02 legs, so the silhouette looks off. Remember how I mentioned about Gobusters' poor sales in the Double thread? Well, the overly complicated mecha was a problem, as many kids apparently struggled to perform the Gattai, having to figure out what to do with all those dismantled parts. It doesn't feel intuitive at all. The placement of certain parts doesn't make much sense either, like, why is GT-02's head upside down? Is it actually a bat now? This is a pretty stupid design.

Fortunately, when the show was adapted to PR, it was Hasbro's first time after purchasing the merchandise rights from Bandai and man, Hasbro made the proportions a lot more accurate. I heard that Hasbro's previous CEO was a big PR fan, so this is an example of the respect he gave to the franchise, but sadly the new CEO seems to be incompetent. Beast Morphers itself was still being produced by Saban Brands and personally, I thought it was kind of lame, especially compared to a show as awesome as Gobusters, but nevertheless, I have to praise the former management of Hasbro for the improvement in merchandise quality that continued in to Dino Fury.

Hmm, out of the 3 types we've seen so far, I guess I'll have to go with Gamma, as I recall one of my favorite Vaglass Megazord designs was a Gamma (I'll be sure to point it out when it appears).

What about you?
