    Hmmm... shall look into.

    That would have applications for my model building too, come to think of it.

    Anything is possible, there have been 4 so far... But, I would not expect another large set for the Diaclone side until a few releases after Sky Across which is most likely, though not guaranteed, to be DA-100...

    What is Sky Across? Part of GRB? Or is that the spacefighter Versaulter?

    The top half of GRB. I think that was the name shared in a prior live event...

    Note: For those just recently joining us, I cannot suggest highly enough going back and reading through this full thread. It is a wonderful time capsule of every release right back to the beginning. It captures so much. I know it is quite long now, but it goes by pretty fast and you can learn a lot about every release, past speculations, and conversations better not repeated. Honestly, there is no better resource available in English than this.

    Shame I am passing on GRB, but oh well.

    Search Results

    This is what I was thinking of, though there may be ways to make your own now. I need to research them further, but it seems like a decent solution for small applications.

    Found a kit on Amazon for about 10 bucks. Unfortunately, right now I can't really afford much of anything. The end of the year is usually rough moneywise, as we have the last couple weeks of the year off. Usually its not that big an issue, but I have a car payment, plus rent and some medical crap I'm tryin to pay on, plus expenses for day to day(though my GF can help with that since we live together), and right now I gotta get a minor car repair and inspection.

    But within a couple months I will definitely try it out.

    Hawk Versaulter page is UP

    EDIT: White Bullet Core + Sniper Rifle (Multi Assault Rifle) + actual Missiles

    Now I think we are really going to get Battle / Strike Buffalo update

    I would imagine we'll see a retooled Dia Battle and Battle Buffalo before another Big Powered. But as others have said, whatever big sets are coming will likely be after Great Robot Base is complete

    This has to be the strangest/most-interesting tech write up we've had in a while

    Out of all the pictures I was hoping for... that was the one *not* shown.

    Not that I should have been surprised, but I was a bit sad that the orbital equipment takes up a full fort chamber. Definitely going to have to give up my dream of 'boxes for everyone and all their parts' lol.

    In terms of space and cost that’s gonna be prohibitive. But if you really want a box per bot then you need to load up now. I foresee at least 15-20 Versaulter mechs in various remolds and recolors and the truck might not get a re-issue in the near future.

    Speaking of British...it's just me or the Hawk Versaulter in Machine Mode looks like a cross between an Interceptor of UFO and an Eagle of Space 1999? It wouldn't surprise me if it's a deliberate homage considering the popularity of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson series in Japan.

    That also reminds me, I wanted to see how 'stackable' they were and how many fit in a Pod Grander. But good points on both the fort chambers, and the transports.

    Do we have an idea when the more domestic preorders for Hawk might hit? Like for BBTS or TFSource?
