' Wrote:I still see very little difference between this and the Kusari Train. It honestly just looks like a shorter Kusari Train with a few Cargo Pods piled on the bottom instead of stacked on the back. Really, the work looks wholly uninspired and mostly a model for the sake of a model.
Looking at the Shire in comparison to the Train, there can be a major difference in design. Really, I'd rather not have 2 Kusari Trains, only long and one short, instead of what we have now, even if it's a poorly textures import or whatnot.
Actually, given that it does resemble the Kusari Train so much, I'd like to see it as a replacement for the Bumblebee. While it isn't a bad model, there's almost nothing common between it and the Ryuujin.
I do agree that the way the Shire compares to the Shetland is very different to the way this model compares to the Ryuujin. Container transports have become the rock-hard brutal transports that defend themselves, and this looks designed for comfort rather than protection. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't fit the stats of the current model at all... try to visualize twelve turrets on it and you'll see what I mean.
Good model for a Kusari transport, but not the Container Transport. Talk to Doom, he might have some suggestions on how you might tweak it to be a Bumblebee replace (Doom made that model).
