    I do not know for certain, but am inclined to think no. There is not much space in the chest cavity even if the chair were removed and the upper chest houses the very bulky cockpit door mechanism. I would say there would need to be major structural modification. Other PG not baseed on the Strike frame might be easier. The Unicorn has a lot more space because that one has a holo cockpit. Access to install and remove a pilot would be more of an issue on any PG as the cockpit doors are usually very small. Unless you have really tiny fingers

    wow thanks for the comparison, that answers why I'm buying Red TriDasher :D 

    On to repaints
    Even after 40 years of Diaclone, fans still cannot accept repaints?
    It's been done since vintage Diaclone Car Robo days, pretty sure TT won't stop now

    Going a bit deeper, repaints does not make sense for Individual robots with personality like TF,
    but it does make a LOT of sense if it's mecha, they're just mass-produced machines like Jets / Tanks,
    army-building / variants / repaints / 'improvement' is only logical.

    That's how I justify the repaints in mecha-line like Diaclone Reboot anyway :D 
    I myself do not buy the Reboot repaints (except TriDasher only, maybe)

    Wonder when we can see the rest of the 40th anniversary reveal

    The new Tridasher is the DA-69 Sun Burst version, in a red and black color scheme.

    So with these new D-Caliber versions of Trijeter and Tridigger, these color-coordinated Trivers teams can be assembled:

    Blue Team
    • DA-40 Tridasher
    • DA-71 D-Caliber Trijeter
    • DA-72 D-Caliber Tridigger
    Black Team
    • DA-44 Shadowdasher
    • DA-46 Shadowjeter
    • DA-47 Tridigger
    • DA-54 Trirambler
    Red Team
    • DA-59 Trirambler <Red Chaser>
    • DA-69 Tridasher <Sun Burst>

    And honestly, if they do end up making a white Dasher, Digger, and Rambler I think I’d want that whole team. If they make them all in the green Cosmo deco, I’d be tempted to get all of those too.
    So many great ways to troop build. If only the prices made it more feasible! :D

    Just occurred to me, I’m probably behind a bit, but:

    special sets:

    Maneuver Alpha/Beta: red/white and military green
    Maneuver Gamma/Delta: red/white and military green
    Verseriser Bullet core suit 1: blue and white
    Verseriser Bullet core suit 2: red/white and military tan (with it getting a full military green release)
    Verseriser Bullet core suit 3: red/white and military green

    verseriser 1’s special set didn’t fit with the otherwise established colors for these sets. I figured that meant there was a green repaint of verseriser 1 coming, and the base one was already red/white.

    but looking at it now, the white and blue versions of verseriser 1’s core suits match trijetter (original) and the just announced trijetter (that I’m calling the “Titans” version).

    so, green repaint of verseriser 1 yet to come, maybe? Red repaint of Trijetter? Hmm.

    Honestly, out of all the releases coming on the table now, I only commit myself to V-Max and maaaaybe the D-caliber Trijetter.
    Haven't bought anything since Waruder raider raptor :confused:  Shit, I'm missing out alot!

    ... Convincing the missus will be an arduous task. This is one of the rare moments that a man must assert his position and declare on who's wearing the pants in the house!

    Wish me luck, fellow dianauts!

    Amazon.jp seems to be inconsistent when applying tax. I see tax being added to only some of my pre-orders however none of my Diaclone pre-orders seem to include tax including DA-71 and DA-72.

    Thanks! I've pre-ordered the Jeter, still not sure if I want this color of Digger.

    Though I will say that after seeing the Versriser 3 parts on D-Caliber Tridigger I kind of want a Versriser 3 now to go with my normal Tridigger. That Riser previously had no appeal to me, but a Digger with those sawblades looks excellent. I wonder if they'll put out a black version of that Riser.

    Me too. Unfortunately, i couldn't find one. But i should get a 20' neca knifehead from pacific rim between next week and christmas, that's the biggest kaiju i've found on the italian market. Also, i'm looking at a s.h. monster arts rathalos, but that's not sure, i have more important things to buy and my budget may not be big enough for everything

    I was thinking about how Dasher’s waist connector port and feet bottoms gave clues to the Shadow recolor. Same can be said with various dianaut colors. Seems that most of the recolor releases can be predicted based upon various previous releases. Maybe they are planned out initially and the secondary color scheme is injection molded at the same time as the first release. Or atleast a few of the components and not the majority of the parts. So Takara may sit on half of the parts in inventory while selling the first set and recoup the cost by the time of the recolor. Would explain the price brackets.
