Well a bit of an oddity this time, the other week I saw this on eBay, the first one I've seen listed on the UK site before or since, a "Hyper Guardian Ground Gainer Fusion" set.
This consists of a central 'base/craft/station/transforming' thing as well as a bullet train consisting of a drive unit, two coaches and a trailer. The drive unit is powered, the trailer has a sound unit and they can be used as a standard 4 car bullet type train. Or if you have the double tracks that come with the set you can fit them effectively at the corners of the 'base' and motorise/sound effect the entire thing.
Alternatively you can instead 'transform' the base opening the side and removing the train cars from the front/back and it becomes a startion/tunnel you can attach track to and add to your layout.
From what I've learned since you can also use some of the other hyper guardian range instead of some of the 'cars' that comes with the base set and therefore customise it.
Well that's all I've figured out so far as this used set didn't come with any instructions, although as it was a japanese import it may not have helped much anyway. But if there's anyone out there who knows where there's a downloadable version I'd be happy to receive a link
So all in all quite an interesting set.
Here's some pictures;
