Cool, 3K!
Is that that really nicely painted red and blue suit?

Correct Cobs!
The paint job is really nice, too bad no pilot figure.
i have been grabbing some of these exclusives here and there with MFT filling out the bulk portion of my Diaclone army.

I'm up to date again on my diaclone orders

[SpikeyTigertron]

Whoa pics of that chronicles suit please! Was on the fence with that guy

[ZeroWolf]

I wish I had money for these... They all look super fun to mess with...and are easy fodder for a photocomic

[Cobotron]

Awesome Wilco!

So I have been scouring the interwebs off and on trying to see if Tak/Tom revealed any new Diaclone stuff at Wonderfest. No luck so far.
I don't social media so those aren't channels I have access to.

Anybody seen anything?

No pics on their home site, but a few paragraphs I can’t read

The Dianaut on the motorcycle is female, even.

[Cobotron]

AH HA! Thanks Saby Baby! That's what I was looking for.

I had a good feeling Buffalo would get a repaint PDQ.
The Cop suit looks cool. Even cooler with the added flight thingy.
And Femnauts! Rad!

I wish we could get a better look at the too signs at the bottom that say "NEW SYSTEM".
Looks like some interesting shapes in those silhouettes.

[Emerje]

Hmmmm...





Sky Dasher, Drill Dasher, and F-1 Dasher updates? If so then I might be buying my first Diaclones.

Not sure I like the white Buffalo better than the original. But it would combine better with the moon base dia battles (cosmo battles?!) that I don’t have.

Very curious about the EX sky jacket and the new maneuver suits.

Any look like “larger” mech units?

Add-on or independent suit? Feels like it could go either way??

[SpikeyTigertron]

Color me curious. Do they also combine with each other? Or effectively just giving us transforming suits?

Really wish these sets didn’t fire right out of the gate north of $45 and often hitting triple digits

[Sabrblade]

Hmmmm...

The left one looks like a motorcycle.

[Cobotron]

Ewwwww! Good eye 'merje!
For some reason my mind went to this old guy.

But that really doesn't make any sense, does it?

Definitely could be evolved Power Dashers.
I'm trying to discern if they are upgrades to Powered Suits like the Sky Jacket, but I think they are their own transforming robots.

Very cool! Very exciting!

Spikey T, I think that's just a grey prototype of this guy.

Which I think is just it's own Powered Suit.

Also, I'm a little disappointed there are no new Waruder reveals.

[Emerje]

Hmmmm...

The left one looks like a motorcycle.

To me it looks like it's facing right with two big wheels in the back and a wedge with a small wheel on the front.

But the other two are facing forward, with the top facing the most forward and up a bit while the right one faces forward angling toward the right. For the left one to not be also be facing forward and angled toward the left would throw off the symmetry of the whole piece's presentation.

Well raptor head is coming later this month.... But yeah... a big beefy bug suit would be cool.

Did any of you get Buffalo and see the "infinite combination" that was showed squaring off with it? That thing had to be like 14 waruader suits...

[SpikeyTigertron]

I am preparing myself for how small Raptor Head is going to be... I for some reason... was thinking it'd be more on scale with Buffalo or Dia Battles... but I think the leg units are roughly the height of a "standard" suit... So they're not going to be much larger than the +4 combination... other than leaner/meaner looking...

Just found this. Hopefully there will be some more reviews rolling out soon.

Well raptor head is coming later this month

You know, I'm confused. I have it on pre-order with Ami Ami, and I had received an email stating the release got pushed back. Checking their listing on the site, the release date is still Feb. Was it originally January? I thought it was always Feb.
Anyway, do you have it on Pre-order? If so from where, and did you receive a any info on a release date change?

I have it on pre-order through BBTS (I know not the smartest, but I really keep getting on the jumping off the fence.... and they’re easy to work with). But no, I haven’t heard anything about delays or arrivals. Was surprised to find the video to be honest.

Well, I guess it will release when it releases.
You probably know this, but you can save a good 30-35% (usually) by pre-ordering from a few different Japanese retailers. I mostly go through Ami Ami for all my imports, and they always offer the nice discount, and a plethora of shipping options. BUT, you can not cancel pre-orders. So, if you're fence hoping, BBTS is a safe bet.

[SpikeyTigertron]

Thanks Cobo! Yeah, also been a bit gun shy since I forgot about a Devastator and MP Megs pre-order that got warehoused. Ordered 3 months later from a different place >_>”. So.... now I got an extra Devy and Megs. I should really rehome those
