    Eh, they do different things. BP breaks down to become a command base, while Gigantor breaks down to become assault beasts.
    But yeah, I do think Gigantor is the overall winner in the fun department.

    Well I got some Bullet Cores.. (bit expensive - but I wanted them so I splurged) nice to have the option of having 2 proper vehicle modes from each Trizer though. I don't much like the rounded head though - it looked more like a generic background mech than a "Hero" character to me. The Digger core head is nice though, I just would have prefered 3 different heads though.

    As for the Rambler... I really would like one but they cost so darn much I can almost get a Buffalo for that cost. Oh well perhaps in a sale or with a coupon.

    I feel like saying Gigantor is a bit of recency bias on my part, but also Gigantor has dinosaur mode and that unlocks the child that loves dinosaurs in me. Big Powered's great, but yeah I'd lean towards Gigantor too.

    Agreed. I love Big Powered, but there is just something about Gigantor. The robot mode is just so bad ass

    Question for those of you who have da-54 Trirambler. Do you have trouble folding the head in? Mine you almost have to force it and it scraps on the visor.

    wondering - has anyone tried to combine dia-battles plus the four triverse figures as a kind of... dia-computron?

    Now I really want some of the suits and vehicles in Space Marine colors, getting such a Grey Knights baby-carrier vibe... LOL.

    not for me, but for the Bullet-core, I always adjust the head up / down to fold it in

    Yeah I tried moving the head down as far as it would go, it still scrapes the visor on the gray piece in the back, might disassemble the head and see if it's down all the way on the neck joint.

    Since those are destroyer exclusive parts I was thinking that there's a new Big Powered coming out. It will be blue and these parts will make it a blue destroyer. But you'll need 2 to fill each leg with seats. Just guessing of course.

    Far more interestingly, they snuck this updated tease onto the celebration page. :eek:

    Looks like the mech is the tractor unit as suspected, there are wheels on the legs, not tracks. The big surprise is that the 'trailer' is closer to Grandus proportions then battle convoy. :eek: 

    Pages added for the new suit packs too of course:
