In Hindsight yes. IMHO It would have been neat for Hasbro to license them the same time they did the Diaclone Construction team. I wonder how history would have changed if they introduced the Trainbots late S1/ early S2. They of course would have had western names, and would not be "Raiden" as we know it from the 1987 Headmasters Series.
Worst case scenario, Hasbro might not have licensed the Mechabot-1 from Toybox to create Omega Supreme. Or... they could have obtained license from another Japanese Toy manufacturer of Transforming robots to create an evil rival for him...there certainly was no shortage of Transforming Robots in Japan in the early 80's
.
In any event. I am really looking forward to MP Raiden. He will be perfect as a rival for PotP Predaking. While I love CC Skylynx, I believe he is a bit too small (or rather Predaking is too big), but Raiden will fix that, if they do it right.
I'm still hoping for a KO undersized 12 inch PotP Predaking just like they did for CW Devastator
