There are no words! Thomas the Tank Engine Transformer! photo

*takes a deep breath* THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS! 

Now that that's out of the way ... As you can see, this is Thomas The Tank Engine  -- the Transformer. It takes three tank engines to form this mighty beast, who combine when their synchronization rate is at 200%. Through hard work and guts, they will have the power to destroy all evil trains that threaten humanity! Not only that, but this burly beast has FOUR FACES! Clearly, its manliness far surpasses the likes of mortal men and goes through to the heavens itself. Now all we need is a guitar accessory for the tank engines to fight off the evil space locomotives or else all the world will become orange juice!
 
This mighty transformer of legend can be yours if you search Yahoo Japan auctions or eBay, but it will be a difficult journey and I will commend you if you attain this holy grail of toys and Transformers everywhere. See if you can name the many mecha anime references I used in the first paragraph!



MOAR WTF Japan?:

I...actually want this. Really badly.

Wish there was an easier way to find it, but I shall search.
This made my day. If I ever see it at a store/con, I am SO getting it. As for references...

"It takes three tank engines to form this mighty beast, who combine when their synchronization rate is at 200% and through hard work and guts, they will have the power to destroy all evil trains that threaten humanity!" - Sounds like Voltron, but I'm not sure...

"Clearly, it's manliness far surpasses the likes of mortal men and goes through to the heavens itself." - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
That first part you said actually has 3 references to mecha anime and none of them are Voltron but you are right on the second part.
Oddly enough, this is like the third Thomasformer I've seen in my lifetime. Hmm.

As for the references, the "synchronization rate" bit is from GaoGaiGar and "orange juice" is from Evangelion, but that's all I know.
.... BWA HA HA HA HA! Seriously, this is some awesome stuff. I'd watch the show if the incorporate this idea! XD
This might be one of the greatest toys ever made.
awesome!
