Heshin Keitai Go-Phone (2008)


Nope, even I don't feel comfortable labeling this as DX. It's a plastic shell, but that demonstrates the commitment they had to the line's gimmick. Instead of Engine Souls, the series' changers come with, fittingly enough, Change Souls. These manage the henshin and provide a few sound clips from the Engines associated with the Senshi that use each respective henshin device. It's usually one line of dialogue and then a blast of their individual horns. It is themed as a racing series, after all. It's cute. Sosuke, Renn, and Saki use this one and the top and bottom complete the steering wheel of the Handle Blaster (discussed here). The buttons function in two large clumps (or in tandem) to activate the buttons on DX souls, and while this is honestly a clunky thing, I am strongly biased to it.

Comparisons are below the cut.

3 Chibi Windows to the Souls out of 5

The Cell Shift Morpher is a lot skinnier, given that Engine Cells are infinitely thinner than Engine Souls. As such, the changer itself makes the noises based on buttons depressed by the Cells. It includes the appropriate Change Cell and the Engine Cells for the Lion Hauler (Bus-On) and Bear Crawler (Bear RV).

A version of it was also sold in the Red and Blue role-play sets.
