JAY ARR EXX!!

Robots in Disguise!! after the success of Beast wars, Car Robots series (also as known  as RID, Robots in Disguise) revived our love for Transforming cars once more.
And what's better then a transformer, 3 transformers or let me be more specific, 3 transformers that merge into 1, also affectionately also known as gestalts or combiners, robots that merge into a bigger robot.

Thats about it about the introductions.

Here it is, Sonokong / Takara RID C-015 JRX Giftset, the boxart is much similar to the Japan version, manufactured by Takara but was released in Korea under Sonokong. This is an exact duplicate of the Takara version, the Sonokong version cheaper an alternative from the Japan version, quality of toy is much similar too.

In train mode, the Rail Racer team or Cybertron Team Shinkansen in Japan are Bullet trains mainly found in Japan. Their vehicle mode are fairly detailed and have clear windows while the hasbro version had their windows painted in.

C-012 Railspike is a 500 Series Shinkansen Nozomi Bullet Train and is the team leader of Team Shinkansen comes with a gun that has a light-up barrel.

Railspike's Robot mode still has all the basic articulation, mainly ball joints much similar found in  Beastwars figures. The only flaw is the head, which is kinda annoying to get out.

C-013 Rapid Run
is a 700 Series Shinkansen Rail Star Bullet Train, comes with a gun and a shield.

Rapid Run is one my personal favorites among the whole set.
I think mainly because he has more porportionate robot mode, slick transformation and has lotsa wicked poses. His only flaw was his gun was really weak and looked like a long stick rather then a gun, it was also a projectile with the shield.

C-014 J-4 Midnight Express
is an E-4 Max Shinkansen Bullet Train. J-4 comes with a gun that can launch a missile, which will combine with the rest of the team's weapons to form JRX's gigantic gun.

Midnight Express is the biggest of the 3 and also due to the fact is he forms the legs, in robot mode, his legs are really huge. He still does some decent poses.


And the moment, you all have been waiting for, combination of all 3 trains.
JRX or Railracer in RID series.

Overall, Railracer still retains all the poseabilty and articulation, all the smaller guns also merge to form a big gun, the head sculpt is real nice, with a clear blue visor, though the actual combination hinders the actual articulation on the arms, just a slight change in the directions on Rapid Run's legs and you got real cool robot. 
Takara does not release many gestalts made of 3 robots, besides Road ceasar and Brave Series combiners thus makes Railracer a must-have for any transformer lover.
If you missed out on the Japan releases of C-015 JRX giftset or Hasbro RID versions, then get your hands on this before they speed away like bullets....
