If Tokyo Toy Show brought us the first look at the Diaclone Reboot, Wonderfest 2015 delivers the confirming blow. Thanks to Weibo user 52Toys, we have a good selection of images of the MP sized figures, the teeny tiny pilots and more, along with a Diaclone Archive display from Takara Tomy - check them all out below!

Definitely want to see some more high res images, and some coloured samples! I'm very intrigued by these figures.

Is this going to be a collector-oriented line like masterpiece or a 2 birds with one stone kind of thing like with the generations line? If they aren't too expensive I may have to get some. Really curious how big the pilots are compared to some of the recent generations toys like Hot Spot or Whirl or Jetfire/Thundercracker that seem to have a place about the same size for a pilot (or in Hot Spots case a firefighter for his bucket).

While they call it a reboot, unless I'm mistaken, the only toy so far is still Diabattles right? I'm going to be getting this and be damned for crowding my apartment by the lady...

Oh man. I am really excited for this guy too. I'm sold on just the grey proto. Does that make me a sucker? It will be nice to see a fully painted version. In my hands while I go pew pew pew all day long.

So did he just fall over? :lol: :lol: OOPS!

I think they are the same size as the originals. The one in the middle is the reboot. The other two are OGs.

The originals are just a little too big for Hot Spot's bucket, but it's still fun.

These look better and better every time I see them.
I am also silently hoping that this means some of the OG Diaclone/ Diakron toys might get a reissue as well down the line.
Regardless of whether that happens, I am interested to see more and more of these guys.

Shame, really, that these look to be so big and (assumingly) expensive :-( I've never had the money to buy masterpiece or larger figures, and these look great, since they are apparently megazords done right (poseable) I would be all over these if they were smaller (voyager-ultra class) and less expensive.

Nothing on price yet. Or size for that matter. Judging from the comparison of the old and new pilots, I bet this toy is small. Each vehicle could be as small as a deluxe. the pilots are teeny weeny tiny. In fact, *grabs a pilot and a ruler*, 1 and 1/8 inch.
Unless the OG toys came with bigger pilots than what came with the Diaclone release TFs.

That's actually really good to know. Easier to shoehorn onto my shelves if it's not ginormous. My girlfriend actually understands why I love diaclone so much when I explained to her the interesting back and forth history of Transformers between Japan and North America. She probably won't complain when she sees this. Lol. She's never complained about my collection before, but I am anticipating that as it continues to grow she may think otherwise.

That vehicle mode looks rad. Wish we had more detailed pics available for the other two vehicles as well. I also hope this gets some more release details soon.

Several Japanese toys shows have shown us a reimagining of the Diabattle toy from Takara's Diaclone line. This was more of a Masterpiece take on the character. So far, the figure was only revealed as a grey prototype/test shot but that is all changing now. We finally have some beautiful full colour stock images from Takara Tomy themselves.

These pictures show the 3 vehicles (which are dsigned to repesent mobility in different environments such as underwater or in space) as well as their combined vehicle form and, of course, their combined giant robot form. Enjoy!

I think I liked it better as a prototype.

It looks like a nice homage to the original, but I just don't see it meshing with my collection.

I hope these toy fairs yield some new pics of the pilots.

I dont think this should be treated under the same scrutiny as a transformer toy. This is a mech, not a sentient being and thus he whole point of the machines is that they do have components of the larger robot, like Powerrangers. So a visible head is a bit more forgiveable.

It is the original stereotypical "heroic" colors of Japanese super robot genre. Optimus too shares the colors old red, white and blue. Gundam, Starsaber, heck even Starscream (sort of)

But are you comparing it to standard transformers or to its original source? This technically is more akin to a megazord than a combining transformer.

I know all about that but in the video animation we saw it was a perfect transformation. Besides in 2015 a MP grade combining figure should at least have the option to do perfect transformation. SOC Voltes V did that, and then you could "Enhance" the look with part swapping.

The silhouette of the robot mode reminds me of G1 Skyquake.

I'd have no problem seeing it repainted as such or Scrash or even Jhiaxus.
