Love it! I was hoping the raptor was going to be a little bigger. As much as I love the infinite combining gimmick.... that’s getring expensive to make any large big beasts.

They will probably make a bigger one soon enough, after all the raptor heads are bigger than the first lot, just patience. Or just draft some masterpiece cons in for target practise

Re: TakaraTomy Diaclone Reboot: Discussion Thread
Big GV was definitely worth picking up. Being able to have a full forward operating base/mobile fortress is just so badass. Surprised how similar in size all the components were. Especially compared to Buffalo. Hoping there will be another modified Dia Battles (v3?) to go with the black and red scheme

Let me know what you think of the skyjacket. I hear some assembly may be required? Also very curious about the chronicle sets

That's a good question.... I wouldn't mind a bigger version of the E(xtreme) suit that came with Big-GV (and eventually sold separately).
The Sky Jacket looks really interesting too.
Well, now we know

Idk if it’s just me... but the flight jacket didn’t quite push all the right buttons for me on-hand. Idk if it was the assembly or the “stability”.... but it just felt a little off to me

Well, they'ed have to retool the cockpit. I've put the little Waruder pilots in there, but they sit up in it like an open cockpit.
You can't close the canopy. Still fun though.
I've always thought it would be cool if they did MP Insecticons with a cockpit so the could cross over to Diaclone. It would be easy and knock out the repaint potential. Which we all know they love to do.

Huh. So I guess TR Kickback's cockpit is actually smaller than the original toy's. Because I know that the reboot Diaclone drivers are the same scale as the originals (and actually a little shorter because they lack the platform soles the originals have c/o their magnets).

Yeah, I think I'm going to get the three depending on how the other two turn out and just treat them as Masterpiece Powerdashers. I get that TriDasher isn't a car (and come on, that name really spells it out), but a wheeled tank does make more sense next to a jet and a drill tank. Plus they have proper transformations without requiring disassembly.

The cost per package really, I have found it so hard to justify $45 for a small suit.
