    The promo video on youtube by TakaraTomy...
    (some screenshots here for those who can't watch it or don't want to watch it)



    From the official images at TakaraTomyMall, we get a piece of train-track with connectors, so I wonder if the other five parts will also be straight, or some curved bits to make a loop (if the wheels underneath each train can turn).
    So... we have to wait until June next year just to get the first one, but at almost au$250 (at full retail), it will either suck having the six trains released too quickly (at least au$1200 for the entire combiner at the cheapest sources), or suck at having them spaced out to make it more affordable to the wallet.

    I thought they said a really long time ago it was not going to scale to model trains. But given it has been so long since the original announcement, who knows. ¯\_(?)_/¯
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    Seen a couple of mentions of it being HO scale track compatible

    Hmmm. Well that's turned out to be kinda interesting.

    So Raiden as a whole will be the same height as the CW/UW combiners, and Shouki is roughly around the usual voyager size. And has quite a bit of visual similarity to CHUG toys - lots of gaps and hollows (especially from the side, and look at those leg flaps), and has a whole bunch of kibble hanging off the back (which has been very carefully placed to resemble a cool cape in the official pics, quite clever that ).

    I bailed on this, it wasn't the price but more on the design that didn't suit my taste. All the best to those who wants it.
