God damn that looks great, ordered two. Trying to decide if I want a third amazon Japan link for those looking: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B09MVYZ6MG/ref=mp_s_a_1_31?crid=2R9K9E0UZO0AK&keywords=ダイアクロン&qid=1638893065&sprefix=diaclon,aps,163&sr=8-31
Anyone interested in acquiring a MISB DA-39 Maneuver Epsilon (Red) in exchange for a MIB (doesn't have to be sealed, just complete and mint) DA-27 Maneuver Gamma (Black). I have a bunch of Epsilons that I never opened and I would like to get one more Gamma in black to make a 3 man stealth team.
I like how the limbs fold up to form like a booster for the cores! Might have to nab at least one of these guys as like a command unit!
damn this thing is ridiculously versatile. the play value with other figures is incredible. i can't wait for this.
Or TFSource for their free shipping deal. It depends on the set and how many you're ordering though. For the smaller sets if you're only ordering one then US retailers will usually beat the price. If you're ordering more than one, then AJP's discount still makes a difference even with shipping. For example, I have a preorder at AJP for three of the DA-90 Motocrusier/Raidbullet set that is coming in at $81.62 shipped with the current exchange rate. If I order three on BBTS at $29.99 each with $4 shipping, the total is $93.97 shipped. To me that $12.35 difference is worth it, plus I get them a lot sooner and can make payments with AJP gift cards to spread the cost out. I did the same thing, ordered two and was debating a third. I just added a third.
The new emblem is the same as the "cradle" that holds the vers-core/gamma-core, so that plus this description of what the line is going to entail, really makes it sound like we'll be getting more suits like this new gamma. Looks like Titanfall is on the menu! I'm so excited for this suit and what this line is going to have and the Vers compatibility is *chef's kiss.
It’s saying that the lore is the same as the main Diaclone line. The new “Hard Diaclone” line has a focus on “sharp details approaching scale models, military-style designs, and systematic mechanical systems.”
I kind of want to cancel my preorder at BBTS for DA-80 Verse Caliber because I feel like they will get theirs way later than TCP and I can make payments on a TCP order. There's obviously no way to do a cancellation in my account settings because it required a down-payment. I swear I did this before and they refunded the amount to a gift card. I'm guessing emailing them will sort it out, but I wanted to ask before I pulled the trigger on that.

Link: ガンマヴァーサルター｜プロダクトディティール｜タクティカルムーバー｜ダイアクロン オフィシャルサイト｜タカラトミー About Tactical Mover Series In response to the complex and diversifying attack patterns of the invading alien race Waruder, the main Diaclone bases around the world have been forced to form specialized tactical units that can be operated separately from the main combat units which carry out large-scale operations, and that can deal with a variety of fragmented problems. As its main force machine, a state-of-the-art combat machine with the power to compete with the increasing strength of the current Waruder side's minimum individual force value was developed with the best of Diaclone science and technology. This is the birth of the Tactical Mover. What Is A Tactical Mover? The <Tactical Mover> is a general term for a variable tactical mobility machine that has the agility of a PS (Powered Suit) machine and the interchangeable variable functionality of a Tri-Verse machine, while also having more combat power than a PS machine and more versatility than a Tri-Verse machine. It is composed of a variable frame system <V.F.S=Verse Frame System> and a cockpit module <Tactical Bullet>, which was developed based on a compatible multi-purpose combat system <VERS>. Depending on the situation, it can change its form into a combat vehicle, a bipedal high mobility machine, or a humanoid combat machine, and respond to a variety of battles and missions. The prototypes of the Tactical Mover are based on the PSM-Gamma type, which has the most well-balanced combat potential, as a benchmark model, and were developed with the goal of increasing the overall strength of the machine, including maximum power, strength, and drive power, to more than six times that of the PSM-Gamma in decisive battle mode. In addition, all Tactical Mover machines are equipped with the Nexus multiple coordinated attack system, which was first introduced in the PSM-γ machines, as standard equipment. Like the PSM-Gamma, it is a machine that shows its true value in team combat maneuvers. In addition, as with the PS machines and the mid-sized Trivers machines, there are dedicated external optional units that specialize in functions such as flying, running, and bombardment, and in combination with these units, it can perform more powerful and advanced combat maneuvers. Tactical Bullet Core This cockpit module provides the overall control of the machine. The head unit is equipped with the B.I.G.-A.I combat operating system, and has the functions of a wingless thruster aircraft capable of short-range aerial flight, and serves as an emergency escape pod in the event of a major frame failure. V.F.S. Verse Frame System A variable limb-forming frame unit developed based on the application and development plan of the VERS compatible multi-purpose combat system. Arm, waist, and leg units use an in-unit independent drive system with a built-in generator, so that even if some of the units are destroyed, the overall drive system can continue the battle without interruption. There are frame variations for different functions, such as a high-mobility type and a heavy-mobility type. It can also be connected to other series of Bollet Core modules, but the control circuitry must be adjusted in order to achieve the same level of maneuverability control as the dedicated Tactical Bollet Core. Tactical Mover Gamma Versaulter A tactical mover of the general-purpose combat infantry type that can perform all kinds of combat maneuvers such as shooting, sword fighting, and combat at a high level. Its official name is GAMMA-VERS-ASSAULTER, and its abbreviation is GAMMA-V.A. The code name and head unit shape are taken from the Maneuver Gamma, which was the benchmark model for the Tactical Mover prototype. The standard model is equipped with a high-mobility type frame system <V.F.S./Assaulter>, and the entire surface of the fuselage is coated with black stealth ferrite. It is a high performance tactical mover that is designed for infantry combat maneuvers, and boasts top class specs in the series such as instantaneous drive speed of each part, jumping power (with booster on the back), and gravity center posture control power. Tactical Bullet Core/Gamma Type In order to increase explosion resistance, a periscope-type VR cockpit is adopted, which transmits external sights and information to the pilot via a multi-visual sensor at the front of the aircraft. To reduce the stress of the enclosed space, the cockpit is maneuvered with the hatch open during non-combat situations such as work, movement, and standby. [More being translated... stay tuned]
Thanks! And thanks for posting the images, I was planning to mix them in when I’m finished with the translations. That cockpit video is sooo cool, isn’t it?!
Hope you don’t feel like I was stepping on your toes by posting them. Was just posting for those who didn’t check the website. I totally appreciate you for finding them and posting the translations.
Love the toy, but dang it, I really want this sub-series to get some type of alphanumerical identification system.
No problem! I’m really glad you did. I’m guessing they will as they add to the line. At least… I hope they do. Okay, I think this may be a new helmet design for the Dianaut included with the Gamma Versaulter. It doesn’t have the line through the visor like the other v2 figures do.
I'm hoping, but doubtful... I hate Pod Grander and a few sub-lines did not get them. I think I just can see one when I really zoom in. It's the paint and lighting... Update: However, the helmet does appear different anyway from prior photos for new type... (Not sure if partially lighting and/or minor tweaks to mold as we get closer to release date though.):
After reading through the text on the product page, I'm thinking they'll be making an Epsilon Versaulter in this line. Wouldn't be surprised to see it as the third or fourth entry, possibly second though I suspect the second set may be either some special Dianauts, an expansion set for Gamma-V.A., or possibly a slightly larger set (maybe something Trivers-sized).
