    Ah-ha! I just found a part that fits into that port! These connectors for adding the drill parts to the Powered 03-V unit can also plug into the top port of the High Mobility Fighter!

    Then you can mount weaponry or a crane arm on it!

    I'm only slightly following this port debacle, but I am really interested. People are wondering about what the port on top of the little jet can be used with? The DA-80 little jet? Should I look at anything? I have all the items if anyone wants to point me in some direction or has suggestions. I want to know what it's used for too, but just haven't been able to follow what's been said with the pics and text shown so far.

    And i can see why. Did you paint it inside? Good choice, you don't have to worry about keeping the surface smooth.

    Anyone looking for these?


    It's four items, Raptorhead, Flinger, Gamma, and TriRambler. Last of my Diaclone collection. They're either getting sold off or stuffed into storage and forgotten about. No interest in the line anymore.

    Self fix steps for the DA-80 Riser shoulders found on Facebook duly translated
    86603103-A00E-4720-9791-0ECBF83BBBF6.jpeg
    Comparison shot with DA 55 shoulders. Once fully expanded the DA55 shoulders should be straight. The V shape on DA80 indicates mis-assembly.

    Because the pinhole is blocked by the body components, it is difficult to remove the pin directly. After removing the arms, lower body component and cockpit, make a mark at the opposite site of the hole. The drill through the exit hole with a 0.8mm drill. Expand the drilled hole with a 1.0mm drill and remove the pin with tools.

    Reverse the components for reassembly and reinsert the pin. The corrected arms should line up in a straight line. This method will leave a 1.0mm sized hole under the shoulder which will be visible in robot mode. If you aren’t sure of your skills in carrying out the repair work, please contact your seller for after sale services.

    Yeah, buddy!! That people is me and it started with this post right here.

    If you can identify any other parts that work in that port, I’d love to know about them. It’s not shown as being used for anything in the instructions but I just know it’s there for a reason!

    I will admit I wasn’t totally on board for lengthening the Battle Convoy until I finished putting it together.

    I'm at a point where I'm not sure if I'm going to be buying much more Waruder stuff. I enjoy it all, for sure. I got Ripper in today and he's second only to Gigantor in terms of fun with Waruder. The problem being that they hurt my hands a lot to mess with at times. For the first ever I actually cut myself on a toy, one of Ripper's side skirts. Also, now that I've got Ripper I like him well enough but I think I'll cancel my Dark Cathode order, he doesn't feel like one I need more than one of (that and shelf space is getting tight)

    Ripper ripped me up too, that alien mech is a force to be reckoned with!

    I definitely get the shelf space thing too. As much as Diaclone triggers my fleet/army building tendencies, it also heavily triggers my FOPML (fear of paying more later). I’m having a hard time backing off of ordering sets that interest me when I see how the aftermarket prices skyrocket.

    But that’s my problem. I totally get your reasoning for not getting Dark Ripper and kudos to you for being able to make that decision. :)

    When I think about the cost of the extras to get it looking this way I get a little...disturbed. lol. Also, I wasn't too pleased with the quality of the paint apps on the blue maneuver gamma so I might try to clean it up with some thinner. It seems like a gun pack would be inexpensive so at this point it kind of feels like they're having you pay for suits you might not totally want in order to get more guns.

    It really does seem right. I think it makes the top part of V-Max sticking out in front seem more proportional.

    Saw a pic on twitter of someone who had sliced their finger with a buzz saw from c-grasper. Ages 15+ indeed! Rated mature for violence! I think the last time I cut myself on a toy was with the knee pylons on Dynaction Eva-01.

    Some pics of the new configuration i made for my Blue Gigantor, i named it "Garuda".

    Now it doesn't even need partsforming! :D 

    I hate partsforming.

    IMG_20220118_190517_047.jpg IMG_20220118_190534_185.jpg IMG_20220118_190548_515.jpg IMG_20220118_190712_925.jpg IMG_20220118_190757_430.jpg IMG_20220118_190916_124.jpg IMG_20220118_191059_740~2.jpg IMG_20220118_191251_837.jpg IMG_20220118_191825_969.jpg IMG_20220118_192950_347~2.jpg

    Edit: i think from now on i'm gonna expose it in beast mode with the elbows bended on the opposite side. I bended them backwards for these pics because i thought the wings looked more "full" that way, but now that i see the pics again it just seems unnatural having them like that.

    Yeah. This thread, "Takara-Tomy Diaclone Reboot", is specifically for what the name says.. ;)  There was a lot of muddying of old threads, so several more specific ones exist, depending on your interests.

    To my understanding, there has been an exception on this thread for bases and photography as long as TT Diaclone is the main focus. But I'll defer to mods on specifics. (I also like to blend my vintage and modern Diaclone, so there is a bit of overlap. I normally post on the relevant thread based on whichever is the most prevalent in the photos.)

    Here are the main Diaclone threads...
    There are a few others, like a pre-TF one, etc., which can be found using search. Most are in the "Toyark" folder.
