Robot mode, Train mode, Dragon mode, lights and sounds, and a combined mode? I wonder how this thing will end up looking cause the description makes it sound like it could be really cool or really terrible. Based on the other combiners I'd lean towards more bad than good, but hopefully the end result is surprising.

I admit, I'm having trouble imagining this figure without some serious compromises in at least one mode. I suppose I'll just have to wait for pictures.

Somehow the description remidns me of Dino Bomber from Brave Express Might Gaine, part of TriBomber:

Wow, that sounds like it will be horrible but awesome at the same time. A robot that turns into a train, a dragon, and a robot? Kinda sounds like something out of Power Rangers.

As awesome as a Dragon/Train/Combiber/not-a-truck-for-once-Optimus sounds, going by the other GO! molds it's probably going to look real awkward in just about every mode.

I would have gone with "this will suck donkey balls," but this works just as well.

Seeing as to how every reviewer I've watched who has reviewed Kenzan and Gekisoumaru all swear that they can't combine together, it must mean that this new one is going to be the center piece that allows the other two to combine. They could add a piece to this new Optimus that allows the other two to combine as torso and legs so this could be the arms and head but that might be wishful thinking. Only time will tell or there's a store somewhere in Canada that will sell them early like they did with Pokemon X and Y...

Well yeah, that's exactly what it says above in the original post.

Hmmm I'm not sure how this will play out. It could be really cool, or really really awful.
I just hope it doesn't have the grandfather pants that the six go combiners do

I can totally see this being a form taken by Optimus to fight Guren Dragotron during the Go! finale(s).

I don't care it it turns out looking like crap compared to other Primes, I'm getting this.
C'mon, 1st triple-changer Optimus Prime. How can you pass that up?

In before "Optimal Optimus".
Seriously tho, I'll wait until pics or a prototype shows up. If he indeed combines with Kenzan and Gekisoumaru, how would they be stacked? Who's bottom, who's top and who's the filling?

He has both a Samurai vehicle mode and a Ninja beast mode so I'm thinking Prime will always be in the middle, but come with a special head piece that can be used on both Kenzan and Gekisoumaru depending on who's on top. If the combined bots don't have dragon wings on their backs I'm going to be disapointed.
I'll be getting this either way. Just got Hishoumaru in the mail today and like him a lot more than I thought I would. Funky leg protrusions aside the Ninja team seems to have better made bot modes than the Samurai team. Hishoumaru's chest covers him well and doesn't look like his legs stretch up to his neck.
