Honestly, the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was the Sandcrawler from Star Wars.
Not a huge Diaclone fan, but it looks cool.

Wow, they really are taking Diaclone back to its roots, the era when Star Wars was so new and powerful that it influenced dang near everything, by making reboot Battle Convoy transform into...a Sandcrawler!
I could just see this thing playing a pivotal role in some sort of Shogun Warriors/ROM/Micronauts crossover ala Revolution 1980: When licensed toy properties allowed into the Marvel Universe collide! Maybe that doesn't make sense to anyone else, but that's what it's making me feel.
May actually have to save up for this one.

Man I wish Takara/Tomy/Hasbro would bring Diaclone to the US markets.

They won't because then they'd be competing with themselves in toy robot sales.khrome wrote:Man I wish Takara/Tomy/Hasbro would bring Diaclone to the US markets.

He looks pretty goood!I guess they were aiming to do an updated version of the original.but without looking just an Optimus Prime.
That trailer reminds me the the Armada trailer.
Day 253 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Wonder if TakaraMall Exclusive (we know it's coming) will be a Nemesis/Black-Military color pallet. That said... this does a pretty good job of blending both.
I need that trailer in my life. I'm less sure how I feel about Battle Convoy being his traditional Prime colors.

Okay, that's pretty cool. It's slightly tempting to want one as a very novel Optimus Prime.

Definitely want this. It's been a long time since we've had such a radical reimagining of the guy, I'm surprised more people aren't excited. I have no issue pretending it's a new Optimus Prime and it's basically a "Duobot" with the truck able to slit horizontally with land and air halves. My only complaint is that he's a bit short at around 7", but that's pretty big for a Diaclone.
Really all that's left for me is to wait for Amazon Japan to list it. It's on AmiAmi for roughly $265, but I think Amazon should be able to get it under $250 and the shipping will be cheaper. I doubt it'll be enough for me start a Diaclone collection, but this one is a must!

I was thinking this was pretty cool, and then I saw the BBTS price tag of 299 and then it was a hell no.

I'm afraid it will start another collection. I've been tempted by Nu Diaclone before. Now...
