    It's been a while since I broke out the old Chogokin Elevator of Robot Goodness. Being as how I'm currently addicted to the Diaclone Reboot I thought it'd be fitting to try raising up a Dia-Battles V2. It fits, mostly, but the cockpit chest is a little too wide so I had to do some video editing shenanigans. It never ceases to amaze me how loud this things is [​IMG]

    As promised Game & Watch have put up a review of the talk show and it's a great write up:
    「ダイアクロンEXPO2081」開催記念トークショーレポート タカラのレジェンドクリエイターが勢揃いし、「ダイアクロン」の今と昔を語った
    One notable thing is during the development of Strike Buffalo as they're calling it they toyed with the idea of an adaptor piece that would let any powered suit take control of Strike Buffalo. They showed a mock up to the audience and the response was unanimously positive so they have now decided to include it! : D

    Cheers mate, it's on every Diaclone picture I have taken and posted!

    All the best

    OMG that is hysterical. Reminds me so much of Panda Z.

    If I had to guess it would Mandarake. They have a few in the $100-108 range depending on currency exchange rates.

    Archive photo: BP quad tank configuration

    While powerful, battle testing revealed severe load bearing stress resulting in frame and joint fractures, ultimately ruling this configuration a failure and not including it in the BP-V manual.

    What a great idea!

    D’oh! I’ve missed a lot of the pics actually, have only sporadically dipped into this thread, but the buffalo and new little mechs/suits have pushed me from ‘hmm...’ to ‘hmm!’.

    Inspired head canon below!

    Chief engineers log:

    The failures of this configuration as a mobile weapons platform are obvious. However, the stability and recoil control it provides to its many weapons systems can’t be overlooked.

    There’s already a plethora of mobile units in the field. Perhaps we need to look at this as an opportunity to field a stationary point defense system. A “Hold the line” or “Final Stand” configuration if you will. When retreat is just not an option! I’ll pass this along the chain of command. At the very least it’ll be another option, desperate as it may be, to our brave forces on the front lines.

    I am new and everyone in here is warm supportive and positive. I feel that's a testament to the toy line.

    Finally got a DA-14 Big Powered today. I am slightly embarrassed about how delightful the 'push-in-mech-and-pop-up-head' feature is.

    The Gamma Maneuver suit preorder at AE stops tomorrow.... so I bought a 6th one. Just because the Battle Buffalo is black, and the gamma suits are black, and the Battle Buffalo can hold 6 suits..... I have no control at all.

    The gamma isn't a tt mall one though. :s

    Also you can stack the new raid chambers vertically so Buffalo could probably carry twelve gammas at a push... ;)

    Lol didn’t think about that hahahaha

    I’ll be content with the 6 Gammas. I have one of everything, and one of every possible preorder preordered. I only bought 6 gammas because, well, they’re fucking sweet looking.
