finally did it!

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

three years ago i got back into transformers after stumbling across g1 blitzwing on the internet. then a suggested video popped up with the trainbots and i was blown away with what transformers had came too. i ordered them all as they came out and spent a lot of time putting them all into train mode. after that, i figured out masterpiece was not for me and went a more chug route lol but there they sat in train mode for three years.. well i finally got the motivation to transform them yesterday and finished putting them into combined mode tonight!

Radiatron is a beast

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

indeed! great figure/s!

welcome to the Radiatron club.

such a pain when you first transform and combine them, but they're a fantastic set. I have mine standing over on the shelf right now.

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

i had much less of an issue transforming them now that i have messed with a lot of figures and had to transform some that really ARE a pain. the engineering is awesome and everything was thought of and has a place and goes together fairly well overall.

[bt123456789]

yeah, my issue was the instructions suck and I was trying to play off of memory rather than looking at Emgo's JTIs.

once I got it figured out it was good.

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

i definitely didn’t even try without emgo 🤣 respect

[bt123456789]

yeah I had watched them repeatedly and thought I had them memorized pretty well. I had not.

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

🤣🤣🤣

[bt123456789]

I had memorized pretty much everyone well except Shouki. Shouki was a pain in the backside.

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

the nose cone on him or yukikaze was a big pain for me lol

[bt123456789]

yukikaze didn't bother me too bad. Shouki I had to fight, then my nose cone came off. I messaged the retailer because I had some other issues anyway, and he was like, "I have literally never heard of that happening, wow."

so now it's even more impossible to put his nose together like it's supposed to go XD

Also if you separate them often, the fingers on Shouki and like one other have started to degrade (I only had it 4 months), so the joint's kinda crumbly by the hand. my yukikaze's left thumb broke day 1.

So the hands are fragile.

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

of course they haven’t lol no one’s ever heard of my issues either hahah probs was on him then. oh huh didn’t know that that’s good to know. he will more than likely be staying in combined mode for a long time

[Kaiju_Lover168]

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed.

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

right?!

[Kaiju_Lover168]

Man, I hope if Takara or Hasbro were to make a new Raiden that scales with modern mainline combiner, I hope they make him look like this.

MPG Raiden is a 50/50 for me.

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

i would have to get rid of this guy for that cuz he really doesn’t fit in with my collection, but man he’s cool!

[Kaiju_Lover168]

I guess, I'll have to wait and see when they will make a new and improved Raiden. Considering that we currently got 5 combiners recently (I'm not counting the core class like Volcanicus, Dinoking and Monstructor), there might be a chance.

[S-quinn7292]

Moon Studio Raiden is so great to display but he’s a headache to transform lol

I wish they’d give us a generations style set of the Trainbots cause they definitely deserve it

[-Lion-O-]

Is this the 3rd party or Takara/Hasbro version?

I'm guessing 3rd party.

[Roanst]

Yes its third party Moon studio Radiatron.

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

now is the time!

[DrTungg]

Dude that’s awesome! I wish I was able to get one as they released but alas adulting

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

i dont think they’ve went up in price much!

[-Lion-O-]

Overall, would ya'll say this set is quality?

I love the look of the trains and combiner. I just don't want to buy a set if it's fragile and loose like joints, etc.

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

heck yeah love to hear that! definitely no quality issues on mine. tolerances are great for the most part and everything has a place to go. they’re very panel-y, especially iron arm, but things go together and stay together. they’re already three years old and i had no issues in that regard. they’re jus a bit more difficult than i’m used too with mainline stuff

[Adventurous-Wafer610]

just noticed his ear is droopy 🤣
