The two-man combiners feel a bit more proportionate and thought-out, but these vary greatly depending on which of the 30 combinations you decide upon, and I always feel these is where the most design attention time was spent. The vehicle modes feel more satisfying and complete as they are nice and solid, and functional as a kids toy too. The individual robot modes are basic and don’t expect too much from them, as the emphasis with these toys is on the combining on combining gimmick and as such the individual proportions feel a bit off. If you really, REALLY want to, you can combine multiples to make characters such as MachMach or WingWing.

Plus a ninth and tenth set if you collect boxed versions as well! Insane. The most common of these are WingWaver, DashTacker, and MachTackle (I capitalise to clarify the character divide), because of the original Japanese twin-pack releases, but because each character features both a small robot head and a larger combined robot head, you can invert any combination to make characters such as WaverWing, TackerDash, and TackleMach.ĭashtacker, Machtackle, and Wingwaver – the traditional two-man combined forms.īut you’re not limited to these options, you can have TackerTackle, MachWing, WingMach, or any other combination, a total of 30 different combination options! A nightmare for collectors who like to have multiples to display in every mode, as they’d need 8 sets to display them in individual robot, two-man combiners, six-figure combiner, and alt. These figures can be combined with any other figure to make a unique robot mode (similar to the combining concept in the Energon range). From here it gets a bit more confusing, so pay attention, there will be questions at the end. So, from left to right, we have Tacker, Dash, Waver, Tackle, Wing, and Mach.
The only difference between the originals and the reissues are the addition of tampographs to replace stickers, and some shade variations in the plastic colour. Today we’ll be looking at the 2004 reissues, and their chase variants.
The reissues were also the first time these characters were available separately, as they were originally released in twin-packs and as a six-pack. Never released in the West in any form, they were however more widely available in 2004 when Takara reissued them, and the change in retail patterns meant many retailers imported these into Western territories, and some consumers just ordered direct from Japan using the internet.
