Transformers Go! G26 Optimus EX Prime Triple Changer

[Quickstrike]

A Prime that turns into a Train and a Dragon? Go! really is just a new Yusha/Brave series. Which is pretty cool.

[doublespy]

It'd be based more on an Eastern style Dragon, than a Western style. So think Shenron more than Prime Predaking.

Agreed.

A mechanical eastern dragon might look something like this



Looks like they sacrificed the dragon completely for the bullet train mode.

Looks like a train wreck with a dragon's head... but I'll probably buy it just because it's different

Another promotional image of the triple-changer Optimus toy.

Looks like the train was the base focus of the designers with it looking as good as the RiD Trains, but the Dragon mode is so bad it is partially obscured by the promo image. (and the robot mode has kibble everywhere).

And another couple promotional images, focusing on the combining gimmick of this figure with other GO! combiners.

Amazon Japan have put up some big official images of this figure, with a release date of January 25th.
Pricing is about AU$55-60 which is about the same as Kenzan (electronic police car) and Gekisomaru (electronic lion)... so should be about the same size and similar gimmicks.

I just don't like Go!'s unique figures. They look like Brave toys to me and I don't like the aesthetic.

That's a dragon?

[Golden Phoenix]

That's a dragon?

Apparently it is supposed to be an eastern dragon or something.

Maybe if you squint or look at it from a certain angle it works.
*shrugs*

I won't be getting it, but if I did I would be saying it only turns into a bullet train.....

More images of this triple changer, including its box... showing us that some of the parts are removable like armour for other figures.

Not surprisingly, none of the photos show the "Dragon" mode.... nor does the box have a window, both of which would probably hurt the promotion of it.


The kibble attached to the top of the train mode is a bit of a cheat, as I thought it was all in the train in previous photos.
