    Literally was considering selling all my Waruders a couple days ago, these absolutely pull me back in.

    Can't unsee Mechagodzilla and that's a good thing

    That Warudaros looks really interesting...might very well be my next Diaclone purchase.

    Yeah.

    Yeah I'll have that Warudaros.

    And that new colour set Dia-Battles V2.

    And the Vers system guys. Hard.

    Yeah.

    All the best

    I like that Warudaros' dragon mode looks to be paying homage to Machine Saurer. It's just a shame he's going to be so expensive. He's bigger than Big Powered, and that was over $200!

    I will admit though, I was hoping it'd turn out looking like the Neo Warudaros from the background booklet. Not that this isn't cool too. Maybe they'll put one of those out someday as a smaller mech for the Waruders.

    And am I the only one who noticed what appear to be new power suits that are meant to function as Bullet Cores for the Tri-Vers mechs?

    I noticed. But I honestly thought they weren’t too awe-inspiring.

    I mean when you got all that other cool stuff on the table it’s sort of hard to be impressed with another Power Suit lol

    This is giving me a strong Waspinator vibe.

    Ditto, we've seen loads of powered suits now, I was expecting something new from the Trivers expansion plans.

    I'm hoping that still gets made down the Line, sort of like a mid-level counter to Buffalo and Diabattles. It was a completely different look to this Beast.

    Don't know if this one was already posted but it caught my eye as you can really see how big new Warudaros is compared to Diabattles. :eek:

    Geez, you can see him trampling over BP! Looks like his foot surface area is as big as BPs leg. Could just be the angle tho... so sick

    Cool thought that just crossed my mind, as the arms are entire machines on their own that means that could be easily replaced with different ones based on other insects, either as a retooled version or a sold separately upgrade.

    Imagine a stag beetle arm with huge crushing pincers big enough to hold an entire Trivers mech. :eek:

    Or maybe entire Rapto-head modules on each arm?

    It's going to be a 300 quid figure, isn't it?

    All the best

    That's a great thought, other then the worm pod crotch cockpit and the round parts on the sides of the legs I haven't seen many obvious ways for it to merge with the existing Waruder products so the arms could be the answer.
    That would be amazing if you could take the arms off as soon as you'd got it and start replacing them with whatever you could concoct from the suits and raider sets.

    Re: price, I dread to think but you know it will be worth it. :D

    Did you not notice that warudaros’s foot is larger than Big Powered’s chest? Because I just saw it myself. Jesus!

    Yeah I do very much believe it will be worth it, the other big bots have been for sure.

    I don't think it's quite that big, that picture is very busy with a lot of different angles. If you look at the foot that's on the ground it's about the same size as big powereds own feet.

    Hold the phone, is that a missile pod?
