It's a cool image, but yeah, whereas the existing Diacloners by sheer volume have an "overkill military expansionist" vibe to them until we get way more Waruders, this suit by itself feels even more "war crimey." Some "Todd, what are you doing?!? They're unarmed! Oh my God!" feels to it.
@Lbsammills51 I'm laughing at "Todd!" so much. Maneuver Epsilon is straight out of Warhammer 40k. I'm surprised it doesn't come with a "For the emperor!" banner. And a pile of skulls to stand on.
I like that idea. I think this guy will be my Dirty Harry/Repugnus. The guy the other heroes like to pretend doesn't exist/can't stand to be around, but can't get rid of because he does all the really cruddy jobs others won't.
A lone Dianaut, pushed to the edge of sanity by Thor Ragnarok levels of loss scavenges the fallen machines of his comrades to build this monstrosity and sets out on a final mission to kill em all!
Oh reeeeeeally? But yeah, the new suit does look like a rogue. While I like the colors it is, I'm wondering what other colors it'll see. Most likely military, but I doubt Hero.
Now this is pretty cool. The 3mm "Arm Plugs" on the chest of Epsilon detach and are used to plug into the 3mm port on the "Power Crush Unit" claws in order to mount them on the wrists. I'm assuming this means you can now use them in any weapon/accessory that has a 3mm port and mount them to the wrist of the Maneuver series! Going to open up some cool possibilities if that is indeed the case!
the body scheme due to the 'skull' look reminded me more of Bjorn Jorgensson's Ursus battlemech more than anything. The epsilon looks properly menacing! just a thought; if it has that skull motif on the chest, I wonder how well the epsilon can be integrated to be battle buffalo's skull head? it may look a bit oversized for a head maybe hahah!
I like the more stripped down look without the claws on the far right. The claws have a lot a tech texture going on - when seen with the texture on the body...a lot to take in visually at once. Those smaller cannons as a shoulder mortars work really well too.
I wonder how this suit will look on Battle buffalo. The skull like chest and similar color scheme could work together really well
I had this idea for a crew of a Battle Buffalo to have the flyer be 'the Bandit' the trailer Jerry Reeves with the power suit being 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, so a skull deco would be truly awesome.
I've been digging into the Takara provided back story a lot lately . Is anyone here very familiar with the mythos (both reboot and original)? Were the Waruders (the field soldiers at least) always android / biological entity hybrids ?
we need to see some pics. i haven't seen much in this thread about the skyjackets. i'm waiting out for the white version and the matching suit so i need to live through you guys
Agreed, I’ve been really curious about it as well since I somehow passed on it at release. I’ve actually had the Amazon jpn page for it open in a tab for the last week waiting for me to loose my discipline.
I think this is my favorite suit so far. I need a few for BB. This is the magic mix of real world and hero colors. This crushes Gamma.
