Amen, Thunderbreak, I don't know why, but for me the series at times bores me to tears(the characters are too cliche I think). The robot doesn't really have much weapons or really stand out deathblows. Haha, the most amusing part is when the pilots merge, they experience Orgasms(yep, you read that right). Haha, merge system nila is based on "aura" ng pilots. So the when the ships "merge".. it's like the pilots themselves are having sex(I'm serious! ) with each other. The roster has 9 pilots, 3 in the cockpit and 6 at HQ, ready to teleport -swap if one of the main 3 get injured in combat. They fight a race of "angels", who harvest humans for (? duh, who knows), the main hero is a reincarnation of one of their warrior angels who stole Aquarion and used it to fight against the "angels" 12,000years ago. He's been reborn as a bratty jungle kid now.. hooray.. Toywise, it looks good in terms of diecast, but in terms of stability a lot of folks have been skeptical about it(look at the prop stands behind each toy in the pic). And of course the effect is lost since if you buy just one box(3 ships) you can only display one bot at a time(Unlike the Getter SOCs). Oh yeah, the toy will be a stand alone DX Chogokin toy from Bandai, earlier reports of this being Gx-30,31,32, and Voltes to be Gx33 were false(Voltes is officially now GX30) Gold

Gold this is what m really concerned about. we will do a lot of transforming just to rotate between bots. and of cors loose joints as a problem is not so far off if transformation occurs too often. well, if your crazy enough and have cash to spare then you can probably get three boxes and display all three bots at the same time.

Eh? That means if we want all the robots to be displayed, we have to buy 3 sets? Man, that sucks! SGP

Does each ship also transform to 3 separate bots also? Sorry I haven't seen the toon yet.
Peace

Depending on how they unite, the limb can be a pair of arms, legs, or wings. I still have yet to watch the 2nd half of the series before I pass comment on the anime.

but i think it would've been better to get the three bots instead of the three ships. that way you wouldn't be transforming them from one bot to another and wear the joints out. Unbelievable! Is this a new series? Anyway, from that post it looks like I'll be able to get along with this kind of SLOW animes. So this'll make it my last Chogokin before Voltes 5.

Just finished watching the 1st ep. I find the series intriguing. I also feel it's somewhat like the Neon Genesis Evangelion series with a little more action. ;D They are quite funny though when they combine. ;D

The toys do look very nice though inherent flimsiness can become a pain. They look poised for "models" not toys.

Thanks SGP for the pics. So basically they are like getter robot when the 3 ship interchange with each other. Yup, almost the same concept but the Aquarion needs all 3 pilots to operate it. And the weapon systems depend which pilot is driving, there are more than 3 pilots. ;D SGP
