    ok my eyes hurt from looking but it looks like the Ehobby Jazz, Now if I recall correct there was a LD jazz release in the Diaclone era. is this one of them as I cant really pick anything off......

    As for the 2nd pic they are all Diaclones, I really do not know what im looking for the drivers, Metal verson trailer?

    got any hints what to look for?

    HOLY SH*T!!! My mom got me the Autobot Watch on the lower right when I was in 2nd grade from her vacation in Hawaii. Years later I lost it and loved that watch... Thanks for the memory trip man.

    You were close. The robot is the ehobby. However if you look closely, the gun is pre-tf/g1. Ehobby LD Jazz has the newer mold where the gun does NOT have the barrel extension. The rocket launcher is also Pre-tf/g1 but the missile is ehobby. More importantly the car in the foreground is the real Diaclone Campaign Prize.


    In the diorama pic. Two things are off (aside from minute details) The racing datsun aka Smokescreen, is NOT a diaclone. Diaclong versions say "DATSUN" on the front bumper sticker. TFs show a printed grill. Police Sunstreaker should have been a Diaclone Prowl.

    More importantly, this pic was recreating the diorama on the back of Battle Convoy's box. There are minute differences like i dont have the right drivers and the arm is supposed to be holding the gas pump. Oh and i dont have a city scape bakground.

    Just a little. I like the fact that my diaclone missile launchers can fling the missiles clear across a 30 ft room and poke out the eyes of young children.


    Oh and the cool variants that TF never got. Like police sunstreaker. And the drivers make the pre-tf's cool. well they make G1 cool too if you have drivers to go in them.

    I also love the variants that TF never had, One time I saw a KO yellow mirage that I wish I had got. I buy the E-hooby variants as the G1 cars I will always have a soft spot for.

    Is 'Transformer' spelled wrong on purpose? I'm unfamiliar with the older imports.
