    A Cosmo Roller update would be really nice. Won't someone think of all those poor Dianauts that can't fit in V-Max.

    But the expansion doesn’t come with the front or back panels to my knowledge. It’s just the roof/side walls/bottom. It’s still open at two ends

    To me, Double Soldier and Twin Combat are deluxe Powered Suits, which Trivers isn't at all.

    I always felt that DA 19 was the Cosmo roller update. With the way it opens up.

    It doesn't. It's solely meant to expand the one that came with Battle Convoy V-Max. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Well, thats a good question, and I’m a little torn. I’d really like to get another proper mech to go with Convoy(who isn’t here yet$ since Battles Gridman can’t really function with most of the line. However…. Playing around with my orange Grasper, I’m really loving the idea of getting more mini-mechs.

    I’m REALLY partial to the blue Gamma and Delta 27A65DA0-C827-4D98-A014-B3A61C6E19F4.jpeg

    However I’m also really into the Space Marine colorscheme, and this is instock most places.

    DA-63 also looks hella rad.

    In terms of larger mechs. I’d love either the yellow or Space Marine version of Tridigger, but those are pricey far as I can see. :/


    I also could be responsible, forgo instant gratification, and put money down on either Shadow Convoy or Drill Big Powered.


    :lol  thanks. I’m glad to know you’ll be looking forward to them.

    Know that the one above only has one set of the large guns. The image you included shows two sets combined.
    There is a cool seat that flips open between the cannons that allows the big guns unit to be operated independently. Unfortunately, it only comes with one Dia-Naut...

    These are the same mecha as in the prior set, just different colors and no trailer, but you do get 2 instead of 1... Smaller ground craft like these may be a lot of fun for you in the V-Max trailer you ordered and they still are Vers cores.

    I love the Powered and Maneuver Suits the most, so I'm biased. Lots of play value and they aren't huge space eaters... And, these two may be my favorite Maneuver Suit sculpt designs so far, and those blues are beautiful. The Delta is the most versatile and the Gamma is the best designed battle armor (at least in my opinion). Note that the Delta is a different shade than the Gamma; it matches some of the accent colors on it though. These have a lot of play value and also work well with the V-Max trailer.

    If you haven't got any and you enjoy the Dia-Nauts, I'd recommend to maybe consider adding on a figure pack if you have leftover funds, especially one with a bike to enjoy those features of the trailer. Until I got some, I never felt there were enough.

    I’m aware, and Grasper has that seat too.

    I know. The small mech that came with Grasper is so much fun, so having two really cool colored buggies seems like a fun time.

    I’m honestly the least interested in this set. I love the colors, design, and it comes with parts for Convoy! But I think I prefer the design of the Triverse mechs more.

    Okay so sorry to double post. But which one?

    6119FEE1-B871-40C7-8E78-4CB685C6C718.jpeg
    Pros-Cheapest is $84. Still in stock most places. Cool as hell. Can buy another set alongside him. Could arrive by Friday.

    Cons- Only a small mech and I want a larger mech.


    DE43FF48-09CB-4524-8D4A-6F809D51EAB7.jpeg
    Pros- Drill Daddy. Larger mech. Goes with the set above. Also cool as hell.


    Cons- $180 at the cheapest. Not many on ebay. Could arrive October 21st-November 2nd.


    I mean, my plan is to have both eventually. But logically I’m not sure what the best choice is.

    You're missing their point. Spikeytigertron was trying to say that we may be getting the ENTIRE Pod Grander Trailer itself. Not the expansion kits, but a solo release of the entire trailer with the command pod and everything. Possibly in a shadow color for V-Shadow. And it'd be cool if it included some of the different computers and modules.

    My PoL was expiring, so I figured i'd just ship it now so that the Ghoul, Drago, and a bunch of other stuff drops tomorrow.
    :banghead: 

    Anyway, this shipment will include:
    DGU-3
    DA-68
    DA-70

    How many Diaclone ground vehicle designs thus far utilize tracks (tank treads/tracks)?
