    Apparently forgot to post these. Wip shots of current projects, finishing weathering and decals on them. Once I figure on best way to add lights to the tank I intend to steal the other half's Samsung to get some decent photos.

    None of my MFT Diaclone KO's came with any adaptor sprews. I think this may be hit or miss depending on production date. I have some pretty early ones.

    Just got in hand some KO (MFT?) Green Gamma Maneuver Suits. They did come with a sprew of "male/male" pins to use for mounting the raid chamber to stuff. No "male/female" adaptors like the ones you are missing from Battle Buffalo and no "female/female" ports like the official. Just male/male pins.

    Should also note that the "green" goes not match previous MFT releases (I have some green Beta suits) or the official Takara release. It is slightly lighter and less saturated. Not too different. But, noticable. The head "visor" is not translucent amber but is opaque black. A quick disassembly and a little gold gundam marker fixed that right quick. The joints are black instead of dark grey. No fixing that. The head is missing the stripe. I might be able to fix that but will require masking. Just don't have the time right now. The chest is missing the small "lights" deco detail that the official has. The crotch plate has a red detail that the official does not have. I might remove that. It just doesn't look right. The wrist adaptor is molded different and the 3mm hole does not pass through (only one side) and I had to drill it out myself. Other than that, the suit is pretty good. The joints are tighter than the official green Gamma. The KO Dianaught is typical MFT crap. The right elbow and both hips are fused and any attempt to move them I can feel plastic bending and twisting.

    Got the e-monster EM-05 Gladiator

    Quick thoughts:

    • nicer and heftier than their base units with more room for customisation
    • Was surprised that the horned head is just an add-on piece to the unit-02 head. Really made a big difference on how it looks.
    • The weapons are nice especially the machete/ SMG units. Comes with a pilot figure that packs heat. But the gun molded to the arm can be a bit restrictive.
    • No big qc issues but it would help if they could improve the quality of the plastic used.. still feels a bit squeaky
    • The reactive armor used to pad the legs out could do with some articulation … as it is they restrict some movements
    • Great effort by the team especially given how they use slight mods to give the basic PS unit a whole new look.
    • Got mine for ~usd 25 shipped. My security contractor team is really coming together 12C27767-65A2-4A65-AF42-254557DC76DE.jpeg 85386D7B-B5D5-46E0-B4D3-2F3E1E2A4A40.jpeg F34EFA35-4D0B-40B4-8F77-5EE8B81924A4.jpeg DE080673-17B1-4EDD-901D-4946AFC904E1.jpeg 4CFA7E34-4E01-4F26-8305-71804A3F6035.jpeg

    The vehicles are all real scaled to 1:64… looks right in a pinch but are actually slightly smaller than they should be

    What are you looking for exactly? There haven't been any KOs of Diaclone Reboot toys for a while. Everything that has been KOed are on Aliexpress/Taobao if they aren't sold out.

    Most of the recent discussion here is about Diaclone compatible, original lines and even that discussion has shifted to this other thread:
    1/60 scale compatible toys & toylines (MFT, RiHio, Diaclone etc.)
    You may get better answers there.
