That is a giant box!

Still want to do a lot more tinkering with this guy.... but he’s an absolute beast. The legs are a bit weird because there’s a soft-click locking slide for the Kaijus/ standing Bunker mode. Also had my first defect (not pictured) looks like one of the small pegs got slagged some how. May need to poke Amazon.jp to see what my options are there.

Really reminds me of what Tyripticon should have been (if it had a base mode).

Awesome Spike!! Now I'm REAL excited.

Bummer about that peg. Just a molding defect?

It's interesting how a bug-themed alien race have so many reptilian-based mecha in this line.

Or got too hot during tampograph/paint? It definitely melted. I’ll get more pics tomorrow

But then they go and do this.... lol

I’ll also take pics of the full modular parts too. The fists, forearms, separate. Lots of combining potential. One thing that’s frustrating is that neither the “Dark Cathod” or the original colors quite match Gigantor. The Warrior looks also unusually colorful.

From the original test shots I was hoping it’d be a scorpion or something. The hydra looks delightfully weird though.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

That is a giant mean looking mecha! So much potential fun!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

This is one fantastic mech suit. I am so glad I got it. And it's capable of looking both badass and getting really weird

[Cobotron]

I like your weird!

Rise up!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Very nice! Post some pics with the tridasher if you can please!

[SpikeyTigertron]

Rise up!

Forgot that shipped... waiting on the black/yellow deco.

Really bummed the alternate colors for the ground cannon (verse 2) went space marine green.

What are all your thoughts on the verse riser 3?

Speaking of weird....

I can’t decide which color of the rambler I want. The all red and black looks more cohesive- and would go really well with the all red verse riser ver 1 (jet). But I’m not sure if/what the head sculpt on them look like. The helmet/face shield obstructs the view.

I went for the blue, I like it better. Red is my favorite color, but the Trirambler is the wrong shade/distribution of the color.

I saw that set up above that adds on to the Triverse guys and thought about it, but not sure. More pictures peeked my interest more in it

Saw that on Twitter yesterday, I'm eager to see what they have planned with this thing, since it looks like a convoy revisit

[SpikeyTigertron]

https://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/diaclone/special_5_operations/

Oh... I missed this... wonder if it'll make those "mobile base" color pallet... I can't tell if it's a Mobile Commander center (the feet of Big GV) mixed with... a TriDasher? I'm not sure. As is I'm trying to figure out what the extra attachments with https://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/diaclone/product_details/ps-maneuver_gd-mb.html are for... most likely this silhouette I'd imagine

**Edit** I think there's a hint in the DA-64 artwork with the battle buffalo trailer. Whether it comes with extra raid chambers is unclear.... that'd be kind of weird.

It's Battle Convoy! Pre-Transformers Diaclone Optimus Prime!

https://www.facebook.com/DaimChocReports/posts/1294845670865857

Or rather, this one's name is DA-65 Diaclone Battle Convoy V-Max.




This is the first Diaclone Car Robot to be given the Diaclone Reboot treatment.

[Cobotron]

This is so cool! I love the idea.
But my initial reaction is so on the fence. I mean I have plenty of Convoys I could add in to a Diaclone display regardless of whether or not they truly integrate. That's what the old imagination is for.
But that's not to dismiss that this is an awesome looking toy!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I'm really digging that, might pre-order based on the price and release date. It would go great with Tridasher and Trirambler!
