    That style of power suit can replace a core. There is no connector on the back - there are the forearms, instead - but it will fit on the sides.

    [insert Glade Plug-In(tm) slogan]

    I think there was some talk previously with the V-Movers having issue with arm clearance with the Tactical Mover (VERSaulter frames) but one should be able to wiggle them around enough for clearance (or just take them off their mushroom peg)

    First toy of 2023.

    Mine was double taped but still had the visor issue. Cockpits are dinky and the mini cosmo roller is super cute.

    Hopefully the visor is fixed for the Shadow Guardion release.

    Q:

    - should one buy two DA-92 or two DA-93, while they are still affordable?

    - should one bother with Legion Ripper? I prefer the Evolise esthetic, Ripper looks like a super hero...

    This is a forum of enablers. Of course the answer to the first question is yes :D 
    Are many people buying 2x Guardian? I only ordered one lol

    Second question - I love the black ones, like DA-87 and DA-94. So they're the only ones I'm getting and ignoring DA-78, even though I think it's good.

    Nope. Skipped it all together. Looks derpy to me and I've never been a fan of the "hero" red and blue deco.

    LOL may I ask what you're planning on doing with them? I guess it's the same as having 3 of any other set :p  For funs.

    Yeah, I basically haver stuck to the dark cathode colours for my Waruda army.
    DA-26 (x2), DA-75, DA-76, DA-87, DA-94.

    Interesting! Are you getting DA-95 Grand Dion? Not worried about only having one cosmo roller? (or waiting for a different colour, if they release that later?)

    Haha, an army of cosmo rollers :D 
    That would be cool, and at the same time, a bit cute.

    Well, primarily, I wanted them to enjoy. But, I have 2 Ground Dions prepurchased, so I'll have the second Cosmo Roller for the feet of each, and an extra to play with. I also just love this design, it is great to get back to that vintage hero/sci-fi design motif.

    I have two right now. One for home and one for work. I have a third preordered at BBTS, i initially thought about canceling it, but I may keep it. Guardian is my favorite thing right now. It’s just so fun to take apart and put back together. And you get three dianauts, and four vehicles for a pretty reasonable price. And that’s before integrating it with GRB, or swapping the bullet core portions with previous releases.
