Hello, DNA Design fans! The main concept behind DK-98 is to expand the playability across multiple forms: Robot Mode → Weapons / Train Car → Train Mode → Rocket Launcher Mode One of the key creative features this time is the train car transformation into a launcher platform. Our goal was to make sure that every part in the set serves a purpose in different modes, rather than simply being used as storage or replacement parts.

Main Upgrade Features

① Enhanced Robot Mode Appearance
New shoulder armor, forearm armor, leg gap fillers, and foot upgrade parts help improve the overall proportions and give the robot mode a more complete appearance.

② Dual Weapon Configuration
The set includes one long rifle and one short rifle, allowing for different weapon combinations and display poses.
The front section of the long rifle can also be detached and attached to the short rifle for additional weapon configurations.

③ Multi-Function Train Car Design
The train car can connect in train mode, transform into a large shield in robot mode, and also function as a launcher platform in rocket mode.

④ Full Train Mode Compatibility
The new upgrade parts can be integrated and stored within the vehicle configuration, allowing the kit to enhance the robot mode without sacrificing the original transformation and train play features.

⑤ Bonus Labels Included
Additional labels are included to enhance chest and other visual details, giving the figure a more complete look.
The configurations shown in the photos are only our suggested ways to use the set.

We look forward to seeing collectors come up with even more creative combinations and display ideas of their own!

Thank you to all DNA Design fans for your continued support and patience.

We hope DK-98 can make your collection feel even more complete, while giving 86 TRAIN an entirely new presence!

Please stay tuned for more updates and details about this extraordinary release.

Thank you for your support!

Crazy they didn't paint the grey piece 

They claim it's made of plastic that can't be painted.

I like everything about the new Cyclonus, but the exhaust ports at the back.  What an odd choice.  At least the new Cyclonus will not look like he peed down his legs.

While that is true, there are better ways to say that. People do have a right to dislike an item.

And...there it is.  Toxic Positivity.  Far be it for him to give a critique of the state of things.  Just buy all the slop and be grateful you have slop to buy.  Don't expect us to produce quality for your hard earned cash, don't have standards.  The problem is, people will take this advice and then you'll cry when they make nothing because they don't realize why the fan base isn't buying. The only message you send with simply not buying is "this is something you should stop making entirely"

With these recent Hasbro waves it seems like TFs are about dead.  It's just more slight retools and reprints.  Sorry, Blitzing is an awful figure.  If Hasbro is to rationalize that it's okay that the alt modes are crappy because fans only care about the Bot mode then they might as well just made it a double changer and made 1 decent alt mode.  Just keep him as either a tank or jet.  To milk it, just sell both.  At least give us one good alt mode I stead of 2 turds.

So is it an actual tour that I can go to, or a theoretical event that only exists online?

That is NOT Siege Astrotrain. That is an entirely new mold. Siege Astrotrain didn’t have a tail fin. It’s a retool. Not a straight repaint.
