    I could get a boner if there also was a Cosmo addition to the Red Lightning!

    The colors are fantastic!

    And a bullet core set? Wow! What a cool way to cheaply differentiate our multiples of the TriVerse figures.

    Hmm. TriRambler doesn't really seem to transform. He just kind of lays down and has a fancy backpack. That's disappointing. I was kind of hoping for a sea or space vehicle, too. I'm undecided on the alt cores. I'll need a closer photo of the heads.

    Wonderfest is Sunday, usually see stuff very late Saturday here in England, like 2am in the morning. I haven't stayed up for one in a while but I might this time with there being transformers news as well.

    Hopefully they don't tease us with proof of concept stuff that we'll never actually see. I'm still sore they didn't make those Diabattles variants.

    Good to see they are sticking with the "Striker/Destroyer" deco. I just got Shadow Dasher, Shadow Jetter and Red Lightning to go with my Battle Buffalo Striker and Big Powered Destroyer. I much prefer the matching color deco. I have been phasing out all my others...

    I was just thinking last night, I would really like to just have some spare Bullet Cores so I could do all the "top" and "bottom" mods at the same time. And... here they are. Stoked :) 

    BTW... anyone interested in a Tri-Dasher and Tri-Jetter (special ver) feel free to PM me... Like I mentioned, I'm getting rid of all my odd/non-matching decos.

    It is based on/inspired by a vintage Diaclone toy. They ALL are.

    Same here

    Which toy is the trirambler based on? I was musing as to which toy he was modeled on but couldn’t think of any...

    I’m starting to look at Mechanical Chain Bases. If Diaclone doesn’t show at least another proof of concept for a Command Center I’m dropping cash on like 10 of the Kotobukiya A Bases.

    Someone said this about Jetter recently. For me transformation means ziltch in this line, as most of the modes are made up of a mix of suggestive greebles and my own imagination. Proportions and parts forming can go bonkers and I would lap Gatsblocker up no questions asked. The close tolerance transforming components like forearm fists are always executed with simplicity. I wonder if Diaattacker will be the same way since his original toy didn't partsform.
