Shinkalion: Introductory History

The Shinkalion Franchise from TakaraTomy, a super robot spin-off of the classic Plarail line, announced on March 16th 2015. It's sister Tomica line had already had a number of similar spin-offs, most recently at the time Drive Head, which also resulted in an anime.

2015: Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion

Over 3 years 12 robots that could transform from Plarail Shinkansen were released. In this era there was limited fiction, consisting primarily of animated short CMs, but there was also 3 manga chapters published in Televi-kun to promote the initial toys, which gave those units Drivers. The names of these Drivers are to an extent shared with later series, though the designs are different.

The last release of the line was a crossover unit with Evangelion, based on the then operating Type EVA variant of the 500 Series Shinkansen

2018: Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion: The Animation

The toyline was revived alongside an anime series, featuring models for the Shinkalions and the enemy forces by the same studio behind the original CMs. While distinct from the previous iteration, the name of the protagonist has retained, as well as the given names of the others two Drivers, and in a meta nod the Bachigami enemies from the CMs were used as the First Enemy. Over 76 episodes a compelling story was told.

The first year of the series' toyline primarily consisted of updated versions of those from the original line, with more focus put onto the Link Gattai gimmick that had for the original releases only been noted on the packaging. Aside from this, in the first year there was also the Deluxe Shinka Gear and it's dark counterpart, able to read the Shinca passes included with the toys. Original designs for the first year consisted of the enemy Black Shinkalion, and the Doctor Yellow that was the climax of the line's first year. The second year's line consisted of new toys, now focused on the Over cross gimmick.

While an episode had focused on the 500 Type EVA, an updated figure based on the anime was not produced until the movie.

Early in the series, Hayato and the E5 made a guest appearance in the movie for Tomica Hyper Rescue Drive Head, the series having been Shinkalion's time slot precursor.

A gag manga ran briefly in the early months of the series.

2019: Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion: The Lightning Fast Alfa-X that came from the Future

At the end of 2019, 6 months after the series concluded, a movie followup aired, featuring a new enemy and one more new unit.

Over the six months, a manga adaptation had already run in Televi-kun, although the plot was modified to remove crossover elements only licensed for the film.

Also during the gap, short promos had been produced on a weekly basis. While most just focused in major cast, a few were in the style of the classic CMs focusing on newer units, Black Shinkalion Ogre, 923 Doctor Yellow, and E5 Hayabusa MkII.

2020 saw the re-release of the E6, E7, N700A and 923, and for the 5th anniversary the Mobility Plus version of the E5, and two further original units. First was the Hello Kitty, based on the briefly operating colour for a 500 Series, and the other being the N700S Nozomi, the successor to the N700A. Each got a new promo CM showcasing their battles.

2021: Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion Z: The Animation

The successor series launched in April 2021, focusing on a new cast, with returning appearances from some of the now-retired Drivers. The heroes are battling a new mysterious enemy.

The key gimmick for the new series was the Z Gattai Gimmick. Each of the Shinkalion had the ability to exchange their arms or legs for limbs transformed from Zailiners, which were based on more standard trains instead of Shinkansens.

Like the first season featuring the Type EVA that wasn't part of it's toyline, it also devoted an episode to a unit from the previous toyline, the Hello Kitty, and also devoted an episodes to Z's own Type EVA.

A small Televi-kun manga accompanied the early release.

A sequel novel, also featuring return appearances from most of the original series, entitled Yamanote Crisis, came in December 2022, and debuted the Z Alfa-X that had been released towards the end of the series. Around the same time, the 500 Type EVA-02 was released, based on a limited time wrapping of the 500 in the Kyoto museum.

February to April 2023 then saw a web novel, The Revival of Kairen, which featured the fiction debut of the Z N700S Kamome & Sonic Nichirin released the previous year, as well as promote the new Perfect versions of the Z E5 Yamanote and Z E6 N'EX.

2024: Shinkalion: Change the World

2024 launched a new series in a new continuity, and a slightly older main cast.

The new gimmick of CW's line was that now all the units consist of a single unit, and can combine with ERDA vehicles, based on equipment for other railway work, into more powerful forms. In addition, any 3 units can combine into a larger SRG formation. Unlike the previous series role play items were not advertised, and some Tie-in Tomica cars were advertised.

Shinkalion Dive the World was a manga accompanying Change the World, a side story focusing on younger characters operating behind the scenes, primarily in the Metaverse.

A novel adaptation released in 2 parts adapted the first course of the series, and a still running manga adaptation began late in the year.

2025: Shinkalion 10th Anniversary Project

At a Change the World even on February 16th 2025, the Shinkalion 10th anniversary project was announced.

The first announcement was the Shinkalion 300, a new CW release of a unit not featured in the series.

A more special announcement was for the summer release of new versions of the original E5 Hayabusa and Z E5 Yamanote, built to the CW body design, in addition to promoting a special combination of all 3 E5's, Shinkalion SRG E5 Grand Cross.

TakaraTomy's Metamor Verse line also announced a release of a Tie-in figure of Hatsune Miku with a Buddy Armour of the Shinkalion H5 Hayabusa.

Also announced was Bandai's Sould Of Chogokin recreation of the original E5 Hayabusa.

Either the subtitles got mixed up with some hentai garbage show or this show about fighting bullet train robots is really wild...
