    Looks like two of the light cars from Tron: Legacy, the Batmobile from Batman Forever and the Batmobile from the first two Tim Burton movies.

    Yep. It’s the 2 versions of the light Runner from Tron Legacy. The Bat mobiles are the 1/50 hot wheels. The dianauts fit fairly well. I just caution against closing the canopy.

    Does anyone have the 1/60 hot wheels batpod? Should scale well with the Dianauts. The 1/50 batpod is just too big.

    Another quick snap. I found in this mode, the "knees" are connected to the other end of the legs, and that connections are not as secure... anyone noticing the same?

    Yes, I absolutely noticed that same issue with my normal colours Big Powered. I had to position them for the photo rather than secure them.

    All the best

    dia_space.jpeg My first Diaclone Reboot set arrived and I'm completely blown away. The models are so carefully crafted and fun to play around with. I've been playing around with the set building all the spaceship configurations I can. I absolutely love the color scheme and hope they come out with more sets like this. :D

    Bringing it to my work desk was a huge mistake. Can't do 20 minutes without changing a configuration on it haha. So neat. Now I'm eyeing Big Powered...:rolleyes:

    Hey all, if you're interested - although I would be preaching to the converted :D  - I have written an article tonight on why Transformers collectors would enjoy collecting the new Diaclone toys. The link to the article can be found in my sig, after this array of pics you've already seen that are now TFSource watermarked and reduced in size!

    Which ones are the KOs, and where did you get them? I know the white and blue one in the hot wheels transport is from the mechfanstoys, but where is that purple one in the background from? I would like to get that one. Are those the only 2 KOs, or are there more? Thanks in advance to anyone who knows.

    Verily, 'tis the set that keeps giving! It took me a week to realise that the little grabbers can be removed from the big leg section. Fun ensued.

    *Edit* Lovely article, Maz!

    Thanks bud!

    More fun! It really does pay to have a phone/camera on standby when messing with this set, as the fanmodes just keep coming! Apologies for the wildly varying photo quality! I'm hoping Maz is feeling playful and might do some of these modes justice! ;)  DSCN1694.JPG DSCN1695.JPG DSCN1698.JPG DSCN1699.JPG DSCN1701.JPG DSCN1704.JPG

    Thread for the KOs is here:
    Diaclone Reboot KOs

    So far there are six KO suits in addition to the direct copies: two each A, B, and D types.

    You can really go nuts with the Dartloader set, adding virtually everything it comes with, and then pepper with Powered System and Dia-Battles bits!

    They’re all KOs except for the grey one that came with Big Powered.
