That Is Because It Doesn't Exist. It does exist. I remember chatting about them at the time on here. The big price tags on them for what they were put me off though. -Ralph

Thursday Tease:
This week's subject is something many of us here, including me, have great personal experience of.
It is traditional to leave an R out though!

I'd say that's a good guess......
.....except it isn't at all is it?
You're looking for an alternate mode this week.

As you well know there are a great many TFs with Toilet fan modes.
Sadly none with official alt modes.

A straight top 5 here, with a small piece of cheating..... 5) Sentinel PrimeYes the train mode is a bit (a lot) rubbish in the middle but it's a fun, fun toy. 4) SixlinerOK yes, technically it's six trains. I've no experience of Raiden (have you heard of Raiden, Ian?) so this is the earliest Japanese train combiner I've seen. The deco might be slightly better on the reissue Sixliner but it's this one which was he first of the reissued Micromaster Six teams that commands my affection purely by being the one you could get first and thus was an exciting thing. Sadly mine has yellowed :-( 3) JRX/Rail RacerIF we're ruling out combiner then replace 3, 4 & 5 with J-7/Rapid Run, J-4/Midnight Express & J-5/Railspike. Three well articulated train robots which combine into a well articulated giant robot. Probably my favourite modern combiner pre Combiner Wars and Grimstone. Never repainted and hard to find in the UK. 2) ShoukiLOVED the Classics Astrotrain. This is the best deco of it referencing the original Trainbot and having him disguise itself as a Decepticon. Bought from HLJ cheap cheap! 1) Japanese AstrotrainSo it comes down to the original Astrotrain toy. Trains are hard to do as Train Engines tend to be quite region specific - you can generally tell US trains from UK trains from Japanese trains though the lines have blurred a little recently especially with Hitachi built trains running on UK rail. But the Japanese design for Astrotrain's train mode does work as a UK engine, albeit one without a tender. I seem to remember a 3P version a few years back including a tender and using it very creatively? Astrotrain's main problem is his deco, what we got here with an odd split colour train and purple shuttle doesn't work. Neither does the grey cartoon deco. But the Japanese deco - black train, white shuttle - works for bpth modes and thus is the colours all Astrotrains should be for me.

No, no I haven't heard of 'Raiden'. But, as it's actually a decent sounding name for a Transformer (unlike the usual muck you come upwith), I have chosen to accept it's a real character, and am prepare to... I known't know... play with yours... as 'n' when etc...

Pinwig fears he may never own a Raiden, but one day he shall have a Rail Racer.
