TakaraTomy Diaclone Reboot: Official Pics Of Powered Suits

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! With a capital K!
I already have the blue one on pre-order lock down, but this yellow one now has my eye as well. A two pack you say brother Jak? To the AmiAmi cave!

Edit: thanks for the link you sly dog!

It's cool to see this reboot progress beyond a one-time thing that was their DiaBatles figure.

It's not my thing, but it's nice to see.

I'm really tempted to get at least one. Mechs like this are my jam.

So, it was a little confusing trying to post this. The red and blue are up for pre-order everywhere, separately. And BBTS has the yellow and (seriously is that grey?) up for pre-order as a 2-pack, and that's the first official anything I've seen on those two. And the military greens are shown together on the TT site, while the red/blue are separate, leading me to believe that the commandos are also a 2-pack. But the TT site doesn't show the yellow/whatever in any official capacity besides "background".

So, yeah. You follow? Cause I barely do

Does this mean we can get Big Powered eventually?

For a line this expensive, i was expecting less shared tooling.

The original Powered Suits came in three variations, and either came in red or blue. Sculpt-wise, the arms (but not the fists!) and legs were the same.

They already teased him at the last Tokyo Toy Show

HLJ has Diabattles on sale for about $110 US.

Who's hungry for more Diaclone goodness? Fresh from the floors of the 56th All Japan Hobby & Model Show 2016 and thanks to でじたみん 楽天市場店 and Amiami, we have some new display shots of Dia Battles V2 Cosmo Maneuver Type! This fella is a pretty white retool of TakaraTomy's first Diaclone Reboot figure Dia Battles V2 (Red/Blue and Grey Moon Base prototype) and appears to be sporting to new weaponry, boosters, and other trinkets. They also show off his capabilities to mix it up with the Dia Battles', and the possibilities seem near endless. And if you haven't had you fill of Dia-fun, check out our newest Seibertron Gallery for Masterpiece MP-31 Delta Magnus (otherwise known as Powered Convoy from the pre-Transformers days). What do you think of this line so far? Let us know, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

They are real nice it's just a small shame they are so shockingly small compared to the price.

All still gonna remain on my wants list though.

Would be neat to have this, but its price is too high for me. Shame, since I really like the design of the Diaclone reboot mecha.

Prety sure this has been on display before samw with previous new diaclone things that were shown again after months when they were originally revealed

Details were few, and pics were fewer at the time. Now they ain't. Boy I love it when people question WHY something was news'd.

I've been thinking. At first I was all in for this Diaclone line, but now, seeing that the line could be endless with slight modifications, I just don't know. This might end up costing me more than I'd like to spend....

I'm having the exact same mental/emotional/financial dilemma. That white knight looks amazing, but for the money I shelled out on the first one I'd rather get an entirely new but compatible robot, or at least one with more retooling and/or new parts.
I may hold out to see what comes from some of the other models we saw a while ago.

Waiting for Big Powered. I'm not also into these "limited" repaint versions too.

Agreed, agreed and agreed.
I enjoyed my V2 but for the price points its hitting, I would prefer Diaclone reissues of pre G1 color schemes; i.e. Blue Swoop or Red Skids.
I am glad the first V2 is in my collection but the TF related items would entice my spending a lot more.

Naturally HLJ has the best pricing. Not a fanboy or anything, just happy.

So which is really cheap?

: ..... Powered System Deployment - incoming...











































Just to give a sense of size and scale.

I'm such a dingbat!

I just purchased the colored red version (L2016) only 'cause I thought the gray one was a lazy re-color. It was actually a different mold?

Not entirely, only the chest compartment is different.

And I just noticed DA-07 Cosmobattles 2. It's a retooled center component, based on the DA-06 "Cosmic Maneuver" release.

Type C and D this July 2017

It looks like Diaclone isn't safe from retoolitis. Let's hope it stays limited to the Powered Suits.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:It looks like Diaclone isn't safe from retoolitis. Let's hope it stays limited to the Powered Suits.

It isn't, unfortunatley. Even the newer larger bots are retools of DiaBattles. Heavy retools, but at he core, retools. It's kinda bringing me down.


Thanks for the links Fen!

I'm confused though. Ages 3 and Up has them listed in two packs. At a pretty decent price considering.

But AmiAmi is selling them individually.

I knew you'd show up. Maybe Ages 3 and Up wants to make sure their entire case would be sold.

This time I ordered the both of 'em.

Ages 3 and Up aren't selling them in a two-pack, according to the product description:

"*Set C and D shown in picture. Set C sold separately."

Diaclone DA-11 Diabattles V2 ALPHA plus ver

So a re-release with new Dianaughts and bike?
I'm not missing any details on DiaBattles himself, am I?

I like the red and blue pilots. They look good like that.

Diabattles seem to have a darker hue.

I've nothing to say, I'm posting only in order to flag/track this topic.

I hesitate to jump in the bandwagon for the Dia reboot.

There's also a "Subscribe topic" link in the lower left of a thread page, in the grey bar.

I, too, like tracking the discussion on this topic, looking at the great images coming out. But, I'm not sure I can go all in on Diaclone as my TF collection is already close to out of control....

Oh, c'mon guys just one little taste. What will it hurt?

Sorry, still discovering the forum. We have our own technologies in france, I'm not accustomed to phBB a lot.

Cobotron wrote:Oh, c'mon guys just one little taste. What will it hurt?

I just made the (small) jump, just ordered a Powered Suit System Type B.

I'll see how I adhere or not.

And received it today.

I think I found the fastest ebay seller ever. And I'm in france so it was international shipping.


First thoughts : This is....

So damn small !!


I was aware of it, but having it in hands is diffferent.The pilot is some awesome incredible engineering.

What size is the Dia Battle compared to a TF ? Voyager class ? Leader class ? I think I'r
ll definitely go for it. I just have to decide which version.

Smaller than you think, but packed full of play value!

The picture at the end of this review has a decent size comparison. He is as tall as a Masterpiece car bot. If you don't have one as reference, average Voyager Class size.

Do you like the suit? I was shocked by how small they are too, but think they are great fun. If you scroll up on this page there are two things you might want to check out. I posted some pics of a suit with DiaBattles, and also Fenrir posted a link to the re-release of DiaBattles that is the same as the first with some color changes and added coolness. I think the price is good. No more than he was originally.

I think I'm more hesitating between the MoonBase version and the new Space Maneuver type.

ExciKaiser wrote:I think I'm more hesitating between the MoonBase version and the new Space Maneuver type.

Ooooooh the Moon Base is soooooo sweet looking. I had to call it at the first one I got due to expense. They're all pretty awesome, and all based on the original sculpt so the play is all still there.
I'm just waiting and hoping they come out with a newer design, before I jump back in.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the bots that are currently available.

In your review you said the motobike owuld be provided only on the original set, but I found youtube reviews (in french !) of the Moonbase and space maneuver showing the contrary.

Why your statement ? a Takara announcement at this time ?

IIRC, there was a limited run at first with the bike and a fourth Dianaut. Followed by a run without. Followed by Moon Base.

I just saw these pop up on BBTS but also double checked to see if they were on Amiami, but it looks like there are some cool new accessories for the Powered Suits.

Diaclone DA-12 Powered System Set Gyrocopter







Diaclone Reboot - DA-13 Powered System Dirt Loader






More images at both the links above.

These look pretty darn cool!

Strap in folks, this post is going to cover an awful lots of new Diaclone goodness! It's been a while since our last article on TakaraTomy's Diaclone Reboot line, and even ages before that was a tease for what you're about to see today. That of course, was "DA-14 Big Powered GV", and the wait is over! Below we have shots of him on display at the Diacron Expo 2017, and in official pics. He's a big fella, with a lot of pieces, and a lot of modes.

Retail Price: 27500 Yen (Approx $240 USD)
Release Month: November-2017
Size: 40 cm

Not included, but made to accompany Big Powered, is "DA-15 Big Powered Trooper Set". It's motorbike of sorts, with three human pilot figures.

Retail Price: 3000 Yen (Approx $26 USD)
Release Month: November-2017
Size: 10 cm

Speaking of the Diacron Expo 2017 (taking place right now at Akihabara), there appear to be Exclusives. First is "Dia Battle V2 Head Unit Collection" which is an alternate head for the Dia Battle V2, this time with an orange visor and antenna made of ABS plastic as opposed to the softer type used in his original release. Second up, is "Powered System C Type Solid Scan Ver" which appears to be a clear version of one of their Powered Suits.









Up next we have "DA-13 Powered System Dart Loader". It can work as a vehicle for the human pilots, or can combine and augment the Powered Suits. Also along the same lines, there's "DA-12 Powered System Gyroscepter" offering the same playability.

Retail Price: 2500 Yen (Approx $22 USD)
Release Month: October-2017
Size: 10 cm

Retail Price: 2500 Yen (Approx $22 USD)
Release Month: October-2017

And lastly folks, we have a bit of a mystery. This appears to be a newly winged variant of Dia Battles V2. This Diaclone Reboot line does like to release variant's of DBV2, but this could also turn out to be a custom as there's no other information we can provide at this point.

This first guy looks like if someone took every single Prime and Autobot leader ever created then fused them all together and then did the same thing a few more times then fused them all into this ultimate transformer.


An Ultima Prime if you will.

HOLY SHIRT, YES!!!!!!!!

You could say the actual origin is the opposite, I think.

Masterpiece Diatron 3!?!?!?!

Sweet Primus, I never imagined my quest to acquire a complete Space Transformers toy collection could lead me to consider buying something THIS freakin' awesome! I hope those Scopedogs haven't shot up in price on the secondary market...

The supposed winged variant is actually a modded version of the original figure utilizing the HGBC Lighting Back Weapons System Mark III from the Gundam Build Fighters model line.
