So I just bought a DX Go-Onger Engine Dai Shogun and it came with an Engine Soul. I know those were the gimmick of Go-Onger but I'm a bit confused on the DX toy releases. I'm about to buy a Kyoretsu Oh and just wanted to make sure that the DX actually comes with all 3 souls for the 3 Kyoretsu Oh machines. Likewise does the Engine-Oh set come with all 3 souls? I'm just wondering because at this point I don't want to have to track these down separately. My Dai Shogun only came with one soul but as far as I knew it was only meant to have one anyway.

If I remember correctly, the souls for #11 and 12 are packaged with the KanKan Bar weapon. I think Engine-Oh comes with all 3

Damn it. I don't want to buy a role play toy that I don't even want (that seems to be selling for $100) just to get 2 E Souls.

[Denshin48]

Engineoh only has the Speedor Soul, #2 came with the Matan Gun and #3 (which is the rarest of em all) came with the Highway Blaster set. #11 and #12 both were only available with the Kankanbar

Seikuuoh and Gunbiroh are the only one that came with the individual cells because they were all packed separately

but theres always Candy Toy souls

[Den-O]

Haven't seen the candy toy souls for sale anywhere though

[Denshin48]

then you might have a long search ahead lol. #3 is gonna give you tons of problems candy or otherwise because its for some reason extremely hard to get without buying that blaster set

but atleast you wont have to worry about getting a Topiter soul right?

[Sentai]

Saw this by Dosmrider and... Seriously Saban? My butt is sore from all the times you screwed us over on American versions of Shinkenger toys! Sharkzord atleast worked on some level. But Lightzord having a damn Spider-Mode?! What did we ever do to you?!

There seems to be a bunch of threads out there talking about DX Mecha on different instances... why not keep them in one tidy package?

[Paladin]

I've been wavering on adding new Mecha to my collection for a bit; after the disappointing Go-Buster Oh I wasn't feeling too optimistic about any future releases in this series. But, after a bit of consideration (and some bargain hunting) I have picked up the two newest Buster Machines!



The magical Beet Buster & his egotistical sidekick Stag Buster have brought out two experimental Zords to fight back against the monsters from Hyperspace:

First (despite J's protests) is BC-04, the Big Bad BeetleZord!




A machine used to harvest the precious Enetron fuel from various targets. 04's default form is a crane but it can also convert to Horned Beetle form as an alternative combat strategy. The transformation between modes is almost seamless; incorporating both vehicle and animal components without a ton of kibble and leftover parts.

BC-04 has one extra trasformation- Megazord Mode!



This is Go-Buster Beet, a much-needed addition to the Gobusters arsenal. The Robot Mode is another impressive fusion of elements, topped off with the crane length serving as both arms of the Megazord. This also gives Beet a big more arm movement than a normal Megazord- another boost to the play value.


Next is Buster Machine SJ-05, the Stag Beetle!




05 changes from Jet Mode to Stag Mode in order to harvest Enetron. The fusion of elements isn't quite as well executed in this Machine; it really just swaps wings for bug-legs. Its not really a BAD Zord; just not quite as good.

04 & 05 can combine to form one Super combo- Buster Hercules!



I suppose that in-universe the extra weapons would be helpful but in toy form they only serve to cut down Beet's already-limited articulation. Definitely not a good direction for the DX Mecha.

Last and most certainly least is the combination of all five Buster Machines, "Great Go-Buster Oh"



The name is an incredible misnomer; there is nothing "Great" about this ugly hybrid of unlikely elements.

It baffles me that the individual Go_Buster Machines can feature such interesting mode changes while the resulting combos turned out so hideous. Seems like the design team just ran out of interest after the first stage & tried to throw parts together until they had none left over.

I'll mildly recommend the Beet & Stag Buster Machines for the individual forms and suggest that any attempts at combining the two should be forgotten. I've put it together once for this photoshoot and probably never again.
