TakaraTomy Diaclone Reboot: Discussion Thread

Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

The appeal of the original Diaclone line to me was that different sublines converted differently, e.g. transforming, partsforming, auto-conversion etc.

I was initially excited for this Reboot, expecting the same variety in conversion formats, and am still impressed by the vehicles and playability, but the exorbitant price and the fact that nothing in this reboot so far uses transformation (not even the Convoys!), have steered me away from collecting this line.

I really appreciate the reboot for what it is, I didn’t have much connection the old stuff outside of G1.

Beyond Big Powered, and Dia Battles’ head reveals I’ll have to agree on the ‘gimmicks’ standpoint.


From a play-pattern sense- I still like that a lot of it slides on rails and had a very methodical feel to it.

The TriVERS have some slight actual transformations. But the big thing seems to be part swapping. Which is something I don’t think the OG stuff actually did at all.

It might be a conscious decision on Takara's part, as a means to better distinguish this line from Transformers, in order to not self-compete too much with their own properties.

So for $300 you can make the complete big robot without having to buy one of the other sets?

Correct. If you did not get DA-65 (V-Max Battle Convoy a.k.a the Optimus Prime) they released last year (?) this is an 'all-in-one' set for the Super Robot. Keep in mind that it DOES NOT come with the Pod Grander (Trailer) that DA-65 game with.

Totally understand that Takara might not want to cannibalise its own market, because if i were to collect Diaclone Reboot, i'd have to cut down on my TF Masterpiece purchases.

I'd have to say, this line has some of the best looking mini jets, such as the Gridman Universe 01 Bullet Fighter and Cosmo Battles 02. So tempting =P~
Release a Reboot set for Multi-Force 14 and i'll pay.

Ok, so I must have gotten behind on the Diaclone thing while I was finishing my NP and grad school. Is this absolutely breathtaking piece a single set or several figures that need to be bought separately?

I will forgo a student loan payment for this thing...I don't need a perfect credit rating THAT badly...

One big set.

Just don't buy it from Amazon Japan yet, the only one listed that ships outside of Japan is a ripoff, wait for the actual Amazon sale to go up. Final price will probably be around $300 after shipping, while it's currently $320 at BBTS and TFSource (and others I'm sure), but it will arrive months after the Japanese release.

Since it came up twice here's what's actually included:

Image

You can then mix them into land and air combinations and then combine all four to make either the large vehicle or Powered Convoy.

Image

I'm curious if there will be enough extra parts left over to do anything interesting. Looks like Powered Convoy only uses one of the cockpits like V-Max did (I stuck the spare to his butt) and only one set of arms.

Not that I'm aware of, but you'd be hard pressed to get V-Max or V-Shadow and Powered Greater for the same price as Powered Convoy. Heck, it's pretty hard to find V-Max for less than V-Shadow, Powered Greater, and Power Convoy combined!

So this might be a deal breaker, but Convoy himself is only slightly taller Earthrise Leader Optimus Prime at 7.08". However you get a lot more toy from the size. It's heavy with lots of diecast and thick plastic, high parts count and just enough chrome. And yet unlike a Masterpiece Transformer he doesn't feel like he's going to break if handled wrong (wouldn't want to drop it though!) they're adult figures made to be played with and taken apart.

But with the armor on both TFSource and BBTS list him at 12.6", though that's certainly to the top of the wings placing him around the size of a combiner or Commander Jetfire. Should look great in a collection.

Amazon Japan pre-orders are open for Power Convoy. After the high shipping and currently lowest exchange rate we've seen since 2015 the price comes to about $300 saving $20 over the domestic import prices and could possibly go lower as Amazon Japan has the same pre-order price guarantee Amazon US has. Just keep in mind they only allow cancellation for a month after ordering!

Bah! Amazon Japan says Powered Greater has been delayed to the end of December. It was originally due in March and then pushed to May (was looking forward to getting it in two weeks), but now it's coming out after Powered Convoy which makes me think they intentionally wanted to make that the first use of the armor instead of on its own. Still sucks.

There's a lot of weird shipping going on over there. Hopefully, we get what we're waiting for soon. I'm expecting Sentinel DaGarn X by the end of the month.

Speaking of Amazon Japan, the last order I got from them arrived last week and was delivered by USPS, not DHL. It actually shipped at the end of April so obviously, it was much slower than usual. Anybody else have an order from AJ ship that way?

I've had DHL packages handed off to USPS rather than them delivering it themselves before. They said my location was "too isolated" (whatever that means) despite delivering several times prior and since. The local DHL distribution center is in Boston so I'm guessing they just didn't want to travel to Maine that day for a delivery. Is it possible that's what happened here?

It was originally due in March and then pushed to May (was looking forward to getting it in two weeks), but now it's coming out after Powered Convoy which makes me think they intentionally wanted to make that the first use of the armor instead of on its own. Still sucks.

And now Amazon Japan says Powered Greater is shipping at the end May. :roll:

Go home Amazon Japan, you're drunk...


There's a lot of weird shipping going on over there. Hopefully, we get what we're waiting for soon. I'm expecting Sentinel DaGarn X by the end of the month.

Speaking of Amazon Japan, the last order I got from them arrived last week and was delivered by USPS, not DHL. It actually shipped at the end of April so obviously, it was much slower than usual. Anybody else have an order from AJ ship that way?

I've had DHL packages handed off to USPS rather than them delivering it themselves before. They said my location was "too isolated" (whatever that means) despite delivering several times prior and since. The local DHL distribution center is in Boston so I'm guessing they just didn't want to travel to Maine that day for a delivery. Is it possible that's what happened here?

I'll check the tracking but I doubt it. I've always had DHL deliver to me.
