    My D Calibers from AmiAmi came in today and I like these more than I thought I would (I usually favor more exotic color schemes than blue/red). I also checked the gun on Trijeter and there's a slight bend to it but it's not overt.

    Which clips? One of mine has a broken ratchet in the hip, not sure if that's a common problem?

    It's the connection at the knee

    Depending on how the clip is broken you could repair it. Is one of the prongs broken or is it split down the middle?

    Is it this part? I just glued it back but after that the legs will be stuck if you connect them… mine is permanently stuck in Robot mode.

    Anyone know if this is legit? It looks very different to the current waruder stuff, I might actually be tempted by it if so

    Kinda feel like it’s a custom. The shape of some of those pieces look familiar...

    could be wrong, though.

    Yea it’s a custom. If it was a new product, we’d have better pictures and a DA designation. Also, the date seems weird.

    That was my thinking. Lack of a number was the big thing. Plus there was nothing on the website.

    Wow, guess I missed that on the main page. That’s unexpected.

    Can’t say it’s my favorite design upon first impressions, but I’m sure I’ll warm up to it. Kinda feels a bit, I dunno, less elegant than the previous soldier?

    I’d like to see it in a darker color scheme as well, I much prefer to have these things match Gigantor

    You missed it by 5 minutes I think :D 

    and yes, same here as I prefer to buff-up my DA-50 Gigantor / army.
    For some reason TT jumps to more humanoid design / style for warudaros now, hopefully there are pleasant surprise with this Waruder Legion line, that backpack booster looks DIVINE

    Not unexpected that I missed it, haha. Unexpected that it’s real.

    agreed, i like to have the whole Waruder army being a bit more visually cohesive. I wish he were a bit more organic looking to fit in better. The shins in particular have this weird cylindrical shape I’m not really into. Actually, the shins and feet (and maybe the less bug-like head - the eyes and mouth are there, but the shape is more heroic. Kinda like IDW Blurr) might be what’s throwing the whole design for me, the rest is fine. They also look like they’re the right size to fit into the waruder cylinder port, though, so they might be super versitile.

    that’s said I’m gonna end up with a handful just like I did the soldier. I’m sure I’ll end up loving it.

    and ya, the jetpack is definitely cool.

    Looks like an assimilated Diaclone unit… the head reminds me of the Dasher and the legs look like the Jetter.

    Seems like it might be a flier. The head seems a little out of place but it looks like it'll be great for parts. If it's real I look forward to seeing what I can make with it.

    NP, dude - i do appreciate the help n advice on the matter. Since the gun itself isnt really an integral component of the set (it's not needed to form the main body of TriJeter), then I can leave it a bit since I got a bit peeved.. I am still debating a custom weapon though.. That aside, this is one damn versatile set!

    Also, I'm kinda kicking myself for not going after TriDigger now.. doh!

    I quite like the slightly different design of him, makes him feel more like an individual unit that a Waruder ace pilot might use, if such a thing existed

    Odd looking waruder mech, could be cool though.
    Seems like it might be the start of another model series like the trivers.
