    I've done this with more than a few and haven't had any issues as far as stressing the joints or breakage. Like some said it might be a good idea to soften the plastic a bit but personally, I've never had to do so. That being said, be careful and gentle when you do it.

    Great to hear!

    Thanks again for the responses. Looks like I’ll just order one for now and see how it goes.

    I did once, but not so gently, so the stress-mark is quite visible T_T

    Is that a trailer connector on Tri-Dasher's back? Please let there be an upcoming trailer. This could be their version of Fansproject's Steel Core. :D

    I completely overlooked that. :eek: 
    It certainly looks like it could be serving that purpose in it's main tank mode, it may even explain what the holes in the feet are for.

    That tank mode pleases me on numerous levels. It just looks so much cooler with the massive wheels and Tumbler-esque design.

    Now I want a trailer that can carry/launch 2-4 additional, different colored/themed bullet modules.

    Got a notification about the Bughead Waruder today from HLJ:

    The manufacturer has informed us that the pictures originally provided were incorrect. The correct pictures are now viewable on the item's listing:
    Diaclone DA-38 Warudaraider (Bug Head)

    There were also two changes to the item description:
    1. "Block module A (x3)" became "Block module A (x2)"
    2. An addition of a "Head block module"



    I can't recall from the part selection shot what it included before, and none of the other retailers I quickly checked had the same part shot (updated or old) to compare.

    Just FYI. Doesn't really seem like a plus or minus from what I can surmise.

    I wonder if that's why takara haven't put a product page up for it yet.

    As far as I can tell, it's just that they added the "uses items not included" text to some of the pictures, because that was a question I had from looking at them earlier: which ones were built using only the set components and which needed other parts.

    Ooh. That's definitely an army there. Is that a Power Loader in the middle?

    As a friendly reminder, and information for the newer members (welcome, by the way!), this thread is specifically for official Takara releases. The KO's have their own thread in the 3P section.
