Hasbro G1 commerative Decepticon Pirancon

Finally, a sale that was worth the wait, actually, I didn't know there was a sale, what a surprise, 20% off retail price, so it's $79.90 SGD less twenty.... thats sweet but I wasn't planning to get anything not when you're going on a date.....yeah, not too fret, there's always plan B.

Plan B was to pay for the toy, leave it at the bag counter and collect it the next day....viola!! problem solved

Ok, on to the toy, now right here, we have a Hasbro G1 commemorative Decepticon Piranacon set a reissue of the 1988 Generation 1 release. The box is a clear window design with dreamwave art on one side (I do dig the art alot) and the whole seacon team on the other.

Unlike the previous posts, usually showing the individual robots first than the combined form, for this post, it's gonna be vice versa, since Piranacon is packed in his gestault form in the packaging.

Piranacon is made up of 6 smaller robots, 5 to form the combined robot mode and the extra 1 more robot can be transformed into a gun. Pictured below, all Seacons in gun mode.

All seacons can transform into gun mode and fully interchangeable with each other. Due to that fact, many had rumored that Piranacon is a Combiner cum target master due to the fact that the gun transforms.

First up is Snaptrap, the leader and biggest Seacon, forms the main body of Piranacon. Snaptrap transforms into a ferocious turtle with cannons on it's shell. With only arm and elbow articulations, relatively common in all generation 1 figures.

Next up, one of faves, Overbite aka Jawbreaker which transforms into a mutant shark, which in fact looks damn cool to me.

Seawing transform into a giant mutant manta ray.

Skalor transforms to a mutant fish-like monster.

Nautilator transforms into a insect like mutant crab.

Lastly, Tentakil transforms into a squid-like monster.

This is a nice set, one flaw is that some of the pegs of the guns are to small hence are too loose and easily fall off. Not much major changes compared to the original except some colour differences and stickers. To me, I kinda feel that the plastic is inferior to the original release, maybe it's just me.

From 2008's Engine Sentai Go Ongers, here's the mechs from the series. Not the deluxe versions, the candy toy versions are more poseable, downside is their size and the crappy stickers that came along. Painting them like model kits may get you damn real cool mechs.
First up, Engine oh which comprises of Speedor (Red ranger), Bus-on (Blue Ranger) and Bearu (Yellow Ranger).

Engine Gattai!! Engine-Oh Tune Up!! Go On!!


GunBir-Oh consists of also 3 vehicles, Gunpherd (Black ranger), Birca (Green Ranger) and Carrigator (both Black and Green Ranger)

Engine Gattai!! GunBir-Oh!! Tune Up! Go On!!

 Seiku-Oh is formed by Go Wing team, Toricopter (Gold Ranger), Jetoras (Silver Ranger) and Jumbowhale (Both Gold and Silver Ranger)

Engine Gattai!! Seiku-oh!! Tune Up! Go On!

G6 Formation!! Engine Gattai!!Engine-Oh and GunBir-Oh combines to form Engine-Oh G6

G9 Formation!!! Engine Gattai!!And all of them can also merge to form a Super robot Engine-Oh G9

This is not a bad set, while the single Robot forms has much more poseability, the fully combined form still has a little articulation mainly the arms.
 
Even though this is not the final combined robot, there's still Kyoretsu-oh which is able to combine with Engine-Oh G9 to become G12
The final team of engines are the prehistoric Train Engines driven by the Red Ranger, Kishamoth,

T-liner & K-liner.

Engine Gattai!!! Kyoretsu Oh!!

 The last and final combination formed by all the Engines.
G12 Formation!! Engine Gattai!!! Engine Oh G12!!
