Holy crap look at all those combo options! And the lady naughts are looking really good too!

Looking good. I should have the "bughead" warauder suit coming in later this week and I can get some pics up with it and the raptor head.

Takara has been really kiling it with repaints especially for the Tryvers vehicles... no sooner had the dasher gotten ready to ship out, they announced the "military' black deco for it and the skyraider. Wonder if the driller will get a new color/head combo too?

Took a lot of will power to put off getting Dia Battles V2 for so long... glad I did now that the Red (?) Lightning recolor is coming.

The swarm grows. Hungers! Will fiddle around more with combinations after I get some sleep. But I do think I would recommend bug over raptor. The exclusive red bug that also comes with a raid suit is probably the best deal at the moment. I may still pick one of those up at a later date.

that was the exact same order Amazon.jp dropped off for me lol. Now the wait for the Triverse mechs.

Did you get Raptor head? I'm still on the fence if one *needs* a second Raptor/Bug head. Feels like i'm "missing" something with the waruader combinations.

I do have raptor head, got it when it came out. Interesting thing, but will need to see how i set up the waruder mech. I like the hero side more.

I think they need to create some big Waruder mecha, I know they are more of a swarm thing but by the looks of things they'd get stomped by the good guys :lol:

Guessing Big Powered GV sized

I can get some half decent quadrupeds.... but getting anything realistically on the mass side of Buffalo or Dia Battles has eluded me.

After seeing the Waruder heavy hitter (see above) I kind of wish the Disnaughts had a “carrier” that deployed the smaller vehicles. Buffalo is a good suit/raid chamber transport. Big GV+ an extra set of land tanks (legs) makes a good mecha hauler (flatbed style).

Still can’t believe that thing has seven (at least) pilot cores. The shoulders being able to get swapped with suits is interesting (see the bbts link).

God help me if they do dark cathode colors..... making me pick military vs hero colors has been bad enough with the tryverse guts.

So hold up, both colors are out?

I’m going to end up caving on the other colors of the waruders before all this is over -_-“

I don't think so. As best I can tell there is the one deco so far.

At least everywhere online I have seen pics, he has been the same deco.

So far it seems like a good blend of both color types. I do wish some of the crew chambers were different colors.

Also maybe it’s just #kaijuthings but he kind of reminds me of TRYPTICON.

I was happy to receive these creepy freaks today.

I guess I wasn't really paying attention, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the set included 2 distinct freakazoids.
Can't wait to get experimental with these and the others.

Spike! That weird Centauroid thing you made is AWESOME! ;)^

I’m still on the fence with the dark cathode (red) suit. Unfortunately the Warudaros <Gigataur> really isn’t helping with color choices as he (it?) doesn’t seem to really match either color palate other than maybe some of the red (maroon) accent pieces.

Makes me wonder if they’ll go better than Big-GV for the dianaughts. I hope not.
