| He's the strongest of the [[Trainbot]]s, and '''Kaen''' is extremely proud of this fact. He's got the punch, and he can really bring on the heat, literally. This sometimes puts him at odds with his cold-loving teammate [[Yukikaze (G1)|Yukikaze]], especially since they have to physically link together when they form [[Raiden]].

| Kaen (or someone who looks a lot like him) is barely visible as part of a big crowd of unhappy Cybertrons who make [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] look really stupid when he tries to make a speech. {{storylink|Skyfire (comic issue)|Skyfire}}

| *'''Kaen''' (Trainbot, 1987)
| |
| :''Japanese ID number'': '''C-130'''
| |
| | |
| : Kaen transforms into a DE10 diesel locomotive. He also forms the lower torso and head of the team's combined mode [[Raiden]].
| |
| | |
| *'''Raiden''' (Gift set, 1987)
| |
| | |
| : The entire Trainbot team was sold both as individuals and in a six-bot Raiden gift-set.
| |

| *'''Raiden''' (TF Jr set, 1987)

| ===Zone===
| |
| *'''Kaen''' (Trainbot, 1990)
| |
| :''Japanese ID number'': '''C-359'''
| |
| | |
| : The Trainbots were re-released during ''[[Zone]]'' in new packaging, and only as individuals, never in a box set. The toys are identical to their original ''Headmasters'' incarnations.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| * Though it is a little tricky to tell the true meaning of Kaen's name since it is "spelled" in phonetic katakana rather than kanji, the most likely translation to English is "Blaze".
| |
| | |
| * The Trainbots are all originally ''[[Diaclone]]'' toys, which came in two different color schemes. It's also worth noting that there are several mold differences between the ''Diaclone'' and ''Transformers'' versions. Kaen didn't change much. The ''Transformers'' releases also lost the Dialcone pilots (of course) and the little plastic tracks for the trains to ride on.
