    Diaclone Trainbots are easy money, but could be smarter throw in here and there as mall exclusive + versions after Raiden completition (just because they can instantly be combined if someone want)

    Nice little information there regarding the original Diaclone Trainbots release. It's wonderful too as it's release coincides with the year I was born..:D

    These work so well with Newage Legends figures. Canon scale be damned.

    Their preorders usually go up in the first week or two of the month. From what I can remember it usually ends up being between like the 7th and 10th, or there abouts.

    I'm hoping Seizan or Kaen's pre-orders show the ENTIRE group together. It'd be awesome to see

    It should be. I like some of the more Japanese recognised combiners but we really need devastator to ground the line.

    Yep. Devastator (or every other S1-3 combiner) will have a cardinal importance to define the future of the bigger robot. Will they stick on the 30 cm? Will they integrate the normal crew with microfigure as seen in Skyfire release? How big will be an eventual Omega Supreme?

    I'm really hoping for Devastator. He is the Diaclone counterpart for Raiden, which makes me think he could be possible. But I'm not holding out hope for him, so I guess I'll be happily surprised if the Constructicons are announced as the next MPG figures.

    I think Devastator would also give them different with the licensed alt modes like the trains. I think that probably has it's own market as well as the childhood construction vehicle aspect.

    I could honestly see it being Ginrai or something - I’d be happy with that too!
