Hmm, so Takara wanted the MPG trainbots to appeal not just to Transformers fans but also train model collectors. I wonder how the lack of articulated trucks/bogies affect whether they collect these trainbots. I can only assume that articulated bogies are a necessary feature for HO gauge models since they have to run over curved tracks.
