MICROMAN/DIACLONE TOY DATABASES

Figure this would be the best place to ask. Does anyone know of any online Microman and/or Diaclone toy databases with names & photos of everything? Not just the Pre-TF stuff, but EVERYTHING. Even stuff not released in the TF line. I've actually came across one like a year or so ago, but I can't remember the name of the site nor could I ever find it again. Any leads would greatly appreciated!

Microforever is probably your best bet. Diaclone stuff can be easily found on TFwiki

TFWiki's coverage of Diaclone is fairly minimal. It mostly only addresses the Car Robots subline and the BotCon Diaclone homages.

Also, this is so getting moved the minute Burn sees it.

When it comes to Diaclone, there aren't any real sites currently that I know of, they've all gone down, except this one:

Diaclone on Super Toy Archive

Thankfully, a good chunk of the line was exported to other countries under lines like Convertors in the UK or Kronoform, and those were covered by some sites if you look hard enough.

Wrong. >:oP

I couldn't decide because of it's connection to TF's.

Welp. Glad I didn't bet cash on that.

There's Diaclone.net, but A. It's all in Japanese and B. Like entirely too many vintage robot toy sites, the photos of the original Diaclone stuff were evidently sized with '90s internet hosting and bandwidth limitations in mind, and haven't been updated. :BANG_HEAD:

Honestly, the best places to look for Diaclone info and pics right now seem to be the Diaclone threads and sections on various TF forums. Oh, and TFSquareOne.

That's also another good site I've found & the language doesn't bother me. From what others are saying, my only other option is random forums/sites & such. Still, I am very content with the responses I have received. :D :D
