    Oh god I don’t know. I can’t find I thing I don’t like about BB. It’s perfect. The burly brawler botmode, the amazing head-unit, articulated hands, pod-crushing pinchers, rifles, lorry / transport mode, cockpit-boobs and the sick new Dianauts. I am not more excited for anything right now.

    Cockpit-boobs that slide up and down. THAT would make a funny stop-motion gif.

    But yeah, hard to be more excited for one over the other.

    Delta is cool, it does a lot. I am eager to see some recolors.

    The Battle Buffalo's colors is sooo beautiful. The color combination with the pilot simply works!! I wonder what other color combination Takara Tomy is going to do next with Battle Buffalo next. How can they out do themselves with this gorgeous color palette.

    What kind of upgrades are you guys expecting them to squeeze us for next lol. I think a different head suit is quite likely, one with armour perhaps.

    I would like a Hero Colors version to go with BP.

    Since Diabattles is all about flight I would like some more ground based stuff like a tank or more heavily armored vehicle mode.

    Same. The little head-unit running around alone is about to suck me in... I just have this feeling I am going to want two of the recolor more....

    The wide release colors on BB match well with the dark shades of the TT exclusives versions of the previous molds, so I would imagine any recolor/TT mall exclusive will be more hero color focused...but I could be wrong. The mold would look slick in the astro colors of the Grey green and yellow highlights like battles v2.

    That kind of pisses me off TBH. One of the reasons I went with the Hero colors was to not have to pay extra for TT exclusives. Now they switch it up so I will have to? :mad:

    What we call hero colours are the decos the toys were originally released in. Most of them were indeed brightly coloured like the heroic super robots of the era but battle buffalo was black and red to start with so they haven't actually changed anything it's just that battle buffalo was the odd one out.
    Although Fortress X was also black and red.

    I’m pretty sure BB is the young roguish emo member of the team and his dark colors just reflect his brooding nature....

    E8872988-54A4-46FF-8E66-B1662DE9AF25.jpeg 0967DCEA-9AC9-43C2-966D-872B741C212C.jpeg F848E10E-3351-4940-803C-FCE4421BF212.jpeg With all the excitement about the new model of powered suits incoming, I’d like to remind all Diaclone technitions and defense outposts that older models will still be in service. Additional equipment will be provided to ensure performance meets the new heightened demand for offensive capabilities.

    Shown above is the previous top line model outfitted for heavy Waruder entanglement. Even with additional armor plating this Dia-Mod is still capable of sustaining an agile flight mode as well and long distance transportation or pursuit. Even older models should have no issues keeping up with the upcoming Delta Flight suits.

    It looks like DA-12, DA-13, and parts from DA-17. Pretty beefy.
