So how long do you think it'll take before someone models the ToQger trains to be used in Steam's Train Simulator 2014?

It hasn't been done already?

One minor complaint that I have is that, as of right now, it basically looks like the cast of Gokaiger except Gai is 1/Red instead of Marvelous and Blue and Green are switched with Blue getting the added quality of Smart Guy and Pink getting her own special character gimmick.

So... It's a sentai team with a bunch of archetypes in it?

No...Gokaiger was the first sentai EVER to do those character tropes and not just another sentai!

Also Blue is goofy but he's not Don. Don literally flailed about in battle ToQ2 plays too much CoD and CS and thinks he can super plan and military dodge everything. That's two separate jokes there, man.

ToQ Blue seems specifically designed to appeal a certain type of viewer, and I love it. He's absolutely adorable. (Green x Blue looks promising!)

Wow, that's incredible. I would say I can't believe it but I doubt any one actually gave that a pass for quality control...

Are they really not acknowledging any aspect of the pirate theme?

I usually can't get into Sentai, but I think I kinda loving love ToQger already. Best Sentai mecha design in a long time, a finishing move that is literally anything, and ToQ5 owns so hard.

I think most people got a bad impression of the mecha just from the toy scans. It's like a Live Boxer for a new generation : Looks great in the show, looks not so good as a toy.

So someone calling themselves the "[Imagination Station]" released ToQger.

So the color switching seems to mostly be Right loving around which sprouts one of the team's combat gimmicks. It's like an in-team Gokai Change.

Pink going "I think I can, I think I can" (good translation choice) and turning into SuperKagura is adorable.

The translation has the Ticket the team "may as well be dead" which means there really is a grim undertone to the whole rainbow trains series.

The design for the villains is fantastic. A cohesive theme, an interesting cast in and of themselves. I want to see what they can all do.


After Kyoryuger's ED cavalcade of children dancing, the new ED gimmick is essentially this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2_I0EGhcB4

One question: What is TJG supposed to stand for?

Man I'm so glad somebody banged this out. And I really hope he hooks up with OT because like you said, that choice for Pink's line was a great idea. I was grinning like an idiot the same way when I first got into Kyoryuger, so I'm on board the hype train. I think I missed TJG. Are you sure its not how they have the T overlapping the Q?

How often are figures made of villains? I'd love to get at least a Crow.

I hope it turns out that the bad guys exist only in children's imagination, and the ToQgers are all in a coma and imagining their adventures, and the whole thing is basically Akibarangers.

I actually got to handle the "Legendary Megazord" when I popped by a TRU the other day. It's bad y'all. Real bad. The keys are so tiny too. I thought about grabbing a few just to display with my megazords before I saw how small they were. It's just a nearly all around sad time for PR toys. Legacy stuff is still great though.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Guys, I finally found a reasonably priced Gokai Blue figure ($20 new) and the website had Ranger Key Series 4 for less than $5. I'm worried that I'm going to try and collect all the ranger keys now. I still haven't seen any of the Super Megaforce keys in stores yet

The super megaforce keys are in stores here and they are absolutely miniscule compared to proper ranger keys. Give them a pass for sure.

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
Watched the first episode of ToQger, the amount of train imagery is hilarious. A bullet train shooting "rail" gun, entering the mech by going through a toll with a pass :laffo:

I hope that ToQger's color switching mechanic spawns an episode where the wrong ranger gets kidnapped because the villains asked for "X color" ranger :allears:

Just caught up on Gaim, and I'm still LOVING Aesir's translation. I paused during the segments with the text messages at around 21:00-21:10, just to see if they had gotten anything sneaky in. I was not disappointed. :)

"Based Kouta" is one of those little lines that makes Aesir one of my favorites. It's just such a fun experience that TV-Nihon isn't able to produce. Little moments like that and not big ugly spinning compasses over the word HENSHIN.

Yeah that's the first one I caught. "popup are qts" gave me a small giggle, and seeing "Keep smiling yo", translated as "keep smiling everyone" was very nice to see, although for different reasons.

I was on the TV-Nihon forums a longass time ago (first mistake, right there) and someone on their team argued that leaving honorifics and untranslated stuff in took more effort to type so they're not lazy, you guys!
