    That story actually makes me wish for a mecha from the aliens that warned earth. Like the last surviving members of the race, come to earth.

    could provide an interesting new aesthetic

    Someone correct me if i'm wrong but.... the bi pedal unit isn't an official product. The disc shaped units with appendages aren't either . Perhaps one of the units was designed in collaboration with the conquered species that sent out a warning to earth.

    Totally unrelated but if anyone is interested in designing a Diaclone compatible vehicle for fun DM me. I'm looking to diversify my custom Diaclone vehicle collection and would love some fresh ideas.

    Meanwhile, my TF Source orders... Login • Instagram

    Also, my DA-70 and tons of JoyToy and other items at BBTS are still not in...

    I am shocked that Drago and Ghoul are arriving for US sellers before November. Wonder how that ship slipped ahead of other ones from months prior.

    Wow - I had totally glossed over that bit! I kind of thought the mercenary bit could have been a mistranslation but it’s not. It definitely seems like TT has a lot of room for expansion on the Waruder forces they’ve been bringing us. Going to reread that backstory over the weekend!

    A few goodies that I had to ship before Drago and Ghoul arrived showed up today. Got notice that DA-73 would arrive soon, but I’m waiting for DA-70 and my Grander pod before I can ship Gigantor. 5CAB321A-A4AC-4EB0-8AF6-FD48014FD0FB.jpeg

    Nice haul! Must have been there for a while… been a long time since I saw a Spartan unit available at retail even at BBTS

    DA-58 WALDALOS < SOLDIER TYPE >| PRODUCT | DIACLONE OFFICIAL SITE| TOMY (takaratomy.co.jp)

    "waldalos< soldier type >'s appearance is a form that mimics a humanoid categorized to "waldalos", but its aircraft configuration is a hybrid waldermeca built with a configuration unit separation and coupling system similar to walda raider. total control is done by waldaroid, which is fused with a chest walderpod."

    Now, to be fair... BP talks about 'fusing' their PS with Powered 01 to form the Decisive Battle mode... but considering we have to fold the waruder in half, and how tight a fight that pod is... really leans into the 'they welded it in there".

    So hey…. You know how BBTS just put the Triverse Bullet Core back up for pre-order?

    Well I just checked my bank account, and noticed I had a charge, and then checked my POL and sure enough….

    I actually wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep that order or not…

    So yeah? That has to the quickest I’ve ever had something come in stock from them.


    Don’t even own any of the Triverse bots yet.

    You can still have fun with them. I got mine more than a month before I had a Trivers mecha. You can use pins and adapters (if you have any) to attach them to containers/raid chambers as a command station. You can substitute them out with any of the Vers Risers to free up a smaller Suit. You can attach wheels or wings to be a car or plane. I actually enjoyed them a lot, especially when you don't have much, yet.

    (I had to dig back through some of my oldest photos... In the first picture, that was everything I had at the time...)

    I think you’ll find they go great with your V-Max and Grasper.

    FedEx just stopped by and delivered my box from BBTS! Feels like I have been waiting forever for these.

    lol are you in pre-order jail?
    So, what exactly can these do? Can they become bipedal robots or just raptors and bugs?

    ^This. That's why i simultaneously sold quite a few Diaclone items and bought a new power suit to go with what remained in the recent past. I find i enjoy my collection a lot more when i'm focused on augmenting and giving attention to the few that i own. Custom parts, new custom pilots, custom vehicles , etc. to compliment the little i choose to have now makes me smile.
