With any luck this will get it's own show. The promo video looks good. Very "Brave Series" looking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JYFtKUmL3c

BURN THIS INFIDEL
BURN HIM AT THE STAKE, THEN STONE HIM AND BURN HIS REMAINS AGAIN ALONG WITH THE STONES TOO
>>12271845
Hey now, this CG is kinda nice actually. Little choppy in places but otherwise nice.
>>12271841
It is Takara/Tomy. It's going to be part of their plarail toy line. July release for the toy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3njJ1gtVZE
>>12271845
No one draws their robots on cave walls any more. Catch up to the 21st century or get left behind, your choice.
>>12271863
So is this anything or just a one-off commercial for the toy?
I dig it. Groovy colours, Optimus Prime head, chest beam, and it's a train.
Hope this winds up being a thing.
>>12271910
Looks like some sort of promotional campaign. If we're lucky, we might get some short OVA.

That was the most enjoyable piece of mecha in a while.
Video game cut scenes without the game. Brilliant
Is Shinkalion the hero /m/ deserves?
Super robots are /m/ as fuck, trains are /m/ as fuck, seafoam green is probably the /m/-est thing to exist.
>>12271973
Might Gaine's been around for a while if you want train robots.
I'm digging Shinkalion's design though.
>Gets a show
>Sub the show
>Get kidnapped by sub-ninjas
We still don't know if that Gyrozetter guy managed to escape from Guantanamo Bay or not.
>>12271992
Not seafoam enough, bro.
Can shinkansen do multi-track drifting or are they 2speed?
Neat! New train robots are always a good thing.
Finally, transforming trains that fit standard toy train tracks! Why did this take so long to happen T_T
>>12272383
Spring-loaded transforming gimmick ruins everything.
Just you fucking wait and see.

You suck mentality, need more Nintality
>>12271845
Why do people shitpost?
>>12272398
I embrace our new spring-loaded overlords
>>12271973
What about darker shades of green?

>>12272428
Okay, watching him violently launch himself off the track would be pretty swish.
>>12271973
>seafoam green is probably the /m/-est thing to exist.
sage
>>12272674
The color, I mean. More of a sage.
>>12272683
Not trying to start a meme but here's what Google's saying.
>Seafoam green.
It's turquoise.
>>12272737
Let's just say it's a vibrant blue-green mixture and avoid the colour argument this time.
>>12271997
Gyrozetter is fully translated by the way, it's just that edited and muxed releases take a while to appear. Scripts are on the forums, releases promised starting from mid-April or something.
>>12273000
Thanks for the info.
Same sub group?
>>12274497
Not that person, but a kind anon (called Anonyneko) helped to kick start the project again over at /m/ Subs, so it's a different one.
>>12273000
Thanks for the update. Something to look forward to in April then.
>>12272438
>What about darker shades of green?
Is that was passed for erotic literature in Zeon?
>>12271832
There needs to be more of this.
Well from this page of this months TV-Kun magazine it looks like there will be three trains in the Shinkarion line up. I hope it does well.
>>12271832
japs kids hates mecha nowadays
don't even deny it
it's the future they choose, not yours
>>12272737
>>12272784
it's miku teal
How do you go from this
>>12271832
to this
>>12271863
How ca you fuck up this badly? It's like those shitty Gyrozetter toys.
when will the exia fad die
>>12276654
It's a toy for children and to make it completely accurate would either be prohibitively expensive or compromise one form or the other.
>>12276725
Also the toy is meant to fit with toy train tracks, so some design limitations are expected.
>>12276725
Did someone say SoC Shinkalion?
>>12276423
>E5, E6, and E7
>No N700
I guess they only got rights from JR East then
>>12277352
Not just SoC, but SoC that can run on HO scale train tracks as well
>>12277527
Handpainted by a thousand year old blind Japanese man and made of enough diecast to change the economy of a small country?
>>12271863
Actually looks kinda cool. Kinda want one.
>>12277541
I was thinking of it being hilariously over engineered and made with "Extreme Japanese OCD Without Compromise", but that would do too
>>12276423
I hope the E6 gets a toy.
>>12271832
Just like transformers I always get a chuckle at the idea of this transforming with people inside
>Blurry eyed commuters stand like sardines in a cramped train
>Focus on a suspicious looking character
>He's standing near a group of school girls
>Uses the motions of the carriage to slowly brush his body against them
>The girls know it, and feel uncomfortable, moving away
>SUDDENLY AN EXPLOSION IN THE SKY
>THE TRAIN ENTERS HYPER MODE, THROWING PASSENGERS TO THE BACK OF THE CARRIAGE
>TRANSFORMS THROWING SOME PASSENGERS FROM THE SIDE OF THE TRAIN, OTHERS CRUSHED OUTRIGHT
>Pervert lands with a crash on a car roof, injured but alive
>School girl corpses rain from the sky
>In the background Train Mech fights Kaiju Mech, pervert smiles.
>The fun has just begun
>>12279674
It would be like in Macross. It fucks everyone up the first time, but they eventually start working around it.
>>12279674
>>12279689
>Implying it wouldn't be disguised as a dummy train that is always on "testing runs"
To be fair, if your giant robotto can't fly or has no flying form, a train would probably be the most efficient form to get around Tokyo.
>>12279711
Basically a Doctor Yellow in disguise. Brilliant.

>>12279775
>Gruff old Shinkalion Commander
>"We've got no choice we'll have to use that"
>"SHINKALION! DOCTAH YELLOW! HASSHIN!"
Is it bad that I want this?
>>12279674
Project A-Ko had a great sequence where the vehicle transformed and the human occupant was all twisted up in the cockpit. Hilarious!
bump for trains
