Some folks on the Japanese boards have been saying it and I completely agree--while I don't think the combined form looks bad per se, it sucks that the "final toy" is just a truck, and doesn't even attempt to turn into a robot....
Considering half of the "Final Robot" position toys were just plastic boxes that you prop up on a pedestal and it "transforms" into a robot, it seems like something they could have easily achieved, and likely left it out because they're lazy. SO, I'll be skipping this altogether. It's not Tomica heroes here, it's Sentai, so we need robots people. |

It's not as majestic as God KingOhger or other "every single mecha combines" final robos, that's for sure, but I actually kinda like it. The tire faces work as a way to emphasize that it's the whole team coming together without cluttering it up with everyone's cars.
One thing about all the Boonboomger Robo variations that bugged me at first but has grown on me a lot during the series is the use of negative space. The skinny limbs create space between the bigger shapes of the torso, lower legs and arm attachments, and the big power-ups (119 and Champion) both have armor that doesn't hug too close to the body and leaves empty space around it. And at first I thought that looked flimsy and awkward, but I've come to appreciate how it lets the robos be big without being bulky, whereas more "solid" designs would've seemed too heavy and slow for the Boonboomgers' racing theme.

You know, I'm starting to like this. Also, I just realized the cannons are a hydrogen car, not a water tank.

Technically, the DX Robo Universe toyline IS part of BoonBoomger's lineup.
Meaning even if the Champion form doesn't quite work, we have almost fifty years of mecha to draw from. [Please give us Turboranger Robo and RV Robo, Bandai] |
