Yeah... I have mixed feelings. I like the blue ones colors, but the head is silly. It looks like you can stash it away, but at the expense of taking up the drivers seat. I like the look of the red one better, but not in those colors. I can be such a diva sometimes :lol:

Nice! That's the Diabattles V2.1 essentially. Whatya think of it?

It's an awesome thing, and a lot better than the Cosmo version due to being a lot less backheavy

I saw this but was too busy to post. Glad you informed the troops ;)^

How exciting how is it that we're getting Waruders! Shame that we have to start off small though. I'm looking forward to some big'ns!

So, how far down this rabbit hole am I willing to go?

I already pre-ordered one of each. Do I need more?

Ponder this I shall. :-?

Don't do it! Just look at how many different versions of the Powered Suits there are. These will be the same thing. I felt compelled too, but they'll be making these guys with alternate colors and doodads for sure. ;)^

Oh man, all those crazy combination designs are like something straight out of an H.G. Wells story. :KREMZEEK:

These things are so silly and I love it!

About halfway through (1:53) they show a prototype of a NEW Waruder..... uh ..... thingy.

The different singular forms shown in that video for Waruder Suits "Flinger" (red) and "Stang" (blue) are named "Hammerhead", "Hunter", "Shrieker", and "Grappler".

The combined forms are named "X3 (Bi-Three)", "X4 (Bi-Four)", "X6 (Bi-Six)", and "X9 (Bi-Nine)", with "Bi" spoken like "Bye" (or "Buy"

).

The new one coming soon is called a "Ring Mount", with one of its components named a "Larva Unit".

While I'm happy to see a new Waruder addition, I was oping for something the size of Diabattles :-?

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Mon Apr 30, 2018 2:52 am

Did they have anything comparable in size in the original toyline?

There weren't a ton of Waruder toys, and from what I can gather most were smaller suits and wind-up walker toys, but there was this guy...

Who stacks up to about the size of the OG Diabattles.

Nice find cobo :-)

so there is something they could redo then to give a proper fight...and I would never say no to more combining mechs. Shame Takara won't get this animated, getting an anime of this would be awesome.

You got me thinking, Z. It would be super cool if they could figure out a way to cross release "Insecticons" in both the Diaclone line and Masterpiece. They would certainly get their mileage out of the molds, and I doubt MP collectors would have a problem with the bugs having cockpits. Or maybe that wouldn't be cartoon accurate enough.

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Mon Apr 30, 2018 12:02 pm

Unless they found a way to put cockpits in without it appearing as such I'm afraid it wouldn't fly, we all know that mp fans can be savage critics. Having said that they could design them in such a way that with minimal retooling or a piece that could be swapped out, they could release an insecticon without cockpit for mp line, and one for the diabattles line.
