Rail Racer is COOL! :D

Infinity9999 · Post by **Infinity9999** » Sun Dec 30, 2001 2:36 am

My wife got me Rail Racer for Christmas and I must say, this guy is cool! Easily the best looking combiner of RiD, in my opinion (well, except for maybe Omega Prime). And he's nice and solid and doesn't feel like he'll break apart by looking at him funny, like Landfill does... Now I just have to wait for Scourge to come out.....

Me too. BTW what is the official word on Scourge? Rumor was that he was coming out for Christmas, but Christmas came and went, and no sign of Scourge is in sight. I hope the next wave comes out soon.

I thought I heard that Scourge was coming out in January or February...don't quote me on that though...

Just remember kids: if not for CR, you wouldn't have RiD.

Yes, but Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus are much better names for us than Super Fire Convoy and God Magnus. There are a few RiD names i dislike, mainly the rehashes of previous bot's names, but CR had some pretty weak names too.
Build Boy?
Glido?
Indy Heat?
BAldigus?

No thank you, our western names are better....

Prowl definitely has a point there. The Japanese names do sound pretty silly.

Has anyone experienced difficulty assembling Rail Racer? I have trouble with my Rapid Run. I can't slide out that black bar. I had my friend do it for me once, but since then I took apart my Rail Racer and have not been able to reassemble it.

What if I think Convoy is a cooler name than Optimus Prime, eh? I don't sit here pressing it on you lot...
Anyway. I have the same problem with my JRX (buttholes

), getting the black dealy on J-7 out. I can do it, but it pinches my thumb every time...

Mine seems to work just fine. It seems a bit sticky at times, but I think it depends on the leverage and where you try to push it out from. I'm just worried that I'm going to snap something on it.

Yes, the assembly took me forever the first time. Especially with the instructions. How are you supposed to tell what the hell has been moved when everything is one color, and looks the same? It may have worked for the old, blocky ones, but they should make full-color illustrations so as to avoid confusion.
