Damn that is nuts looking!

Also surprised Tridasher hasn't come in stock yet at TFsource, I was expecting him in by now

Awesome alien abominations, Plutoniumboss! :APPLAUSE:

I received Diaclone Trivers Tridasher almost 2 weeks ago, and finally had the time to really dig into him.

Here he (It) is in action.

Yay! My first Ladynaut!

Pilot harness is a cool little detail.

Machine Mode

Waruder invaders detected at perimeter 7-1B

Target acquired!

Convert to Final Battle Maneuver Mode!

There are a few other fun modes, but I got too caught up in playing with this awesome robot mode. Great toy, cool conversion into vehicle and back. Really good articulation makes it fun to pose and play with. If Diabattles is comparable in size to a Voyager Class Transformer, then Tridasher is on par with a large Deluxe.

This Mech is super rad! Really excited for the other two Trivers now.

Oh, and D-Max, there's a lil sumpin' sumpin' in here just for you buddy!

Holy cats, Tridasher looks awesome!!! that is a super slick looking robot, and I love how the wheels are integrated!

If I like him enough, I'll need a Maruader to go against him like you have there, that is sweet!

And wow, I'm getting one with cannons that share my name?? Sweetness!!

Trijeter came in just before the holiday. Been so busy orchestrating the whole afair for the kids, I haven't really had time to dig into him.
He's packed in my bag to take to the in-laws for New Years. Here's hoping I can find time to enjoy him.

Lovin' the jet booster bloomers! :lol:

Wow, it looks gorgeous! Can't wait to see you get the drill one and mess around with all 3!

Dia Battles is legit. The Red Lightning paint job is A+. Makes the Buffalo feel like odd mech out. Can’t wait for the tryverse (smaller) guys.

Jetter arrived

Really tempted by this since it is an upgrade kit of sorts for Tridasher

Wish the product page was a little more transparent (short of google translating *everything*). I'm still not quite sure what's going on with that quad-leg design for the extra trydasher/jetter. I'm a sucker for another suit mini suit design.

Also wondering if they'll do a black redeco to go with Red Lightning/Shadow Dasher/Jetter.

Anyone that's gotten Dasher & Jetter gotten time to sit down and play with them yet?

Mine won't ship until I've moved, so I won't actually get to play with dasher until april or maybe even May

I've been all kinds of busy, but I have run each through their own individual modes. I still need to get in there and try some combinations, and swapping parts between the two. That, to me, is wear the real fun will happen. Not that the other play hasn't been fun. :lol:

Is there something specific you are getting at, Spike?

Not particularly. Takara's product shots have been pretty meaty. I guess, just the general feel, playability of swaping up the various components and how that feels. Like the bullet modules versus the uppers etc.

Been a little quiet in here, what are peeps thoughts on this guy?

https://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/diaclone/product_details/trivers-trirambler.html

Or....

Or...

Not sure i'm sold on Trirambler. The wheels look badass, but I'm just not sure it's quite as interesting as any of the other three.

Versriser Unit 01 feels a bit out of left field, but I love me some more mech suits. Kind of wish they'd confirm if they were doing a re-color. Pulled the trigger on this one... but could easily see a black/red/blue repaint to match the "shadow" trivers

The Bullet Core set.... idk... they work decently with the "hero" colors... but don't do anything for the shadow set to me.

TriRambler looks pretty sweet, I love that head and the wheels look great. That bike mode isn't good, but I really like the robot surfing on the wheels, wheels on the back, and the wheels as arms. That is pretty fantastic. I have him pre-ordered for now.

That red mech is pretty sweet, I have committed to buy him to serve as a partner/powerup for Tridasher once he arrives (heck they might arrive at the same time at this rate). Will be pretty awesome to give Tridasher some wings.

I don't really care for the extra pods at all, no interest for me
