What do you all think a good Diaclones site should be?
With a small group of Diaclone fans here. I was thinking it might be cool to open Diaclones.com up as kind of group project. I am not really doing much with it. I can offer hosting and apps, and what I know. Is anyone here is into joining up to create a better site for Diaclones fans? Post below or PM me with your questions and ideas.

What to do with a Diaclone page, Hm...
Well, what's been done so far?
- Detailed photo's of the toys
- History of the Diaclone toy line
- Drivers Guide
- Some TF comparison
- Rare shots of Diaclone related things, like books, instructions and other.
- Commercials
- Sticker sheets
- Instruction scans
- Box shots
- International variants (traSformer and Jousta)
- Splash of the bizarre foreign bots, like Brazil and Mexico
- Even real life car shots inspiring the Diaclone toys
- Toys photo shopped into real life pictures.
- Knockoff’s
Ok, so what hasn't been done?
I had a idea for a kinda virtual cybertron, or diaclone city. I am sure there is room for improvement on the idea, but a web page based design, with a camera view from say Roller. Inside Primes trailer. Pushing the arrow buttons, linked the web page to advance to the next page, and as such a new picture of the virtual Cybertron. Each click takes the camera deeper along roads and such, set up with model’s and toys for each shot of course. It’s a cheap way of doing this, one photo at a time and all. I don’t have the room, or really the time to accomplish something like this.
Unofficial Diaclone draft. Bumper made it, as did Tiger Tracks, Cross Cut, Deep Cover, Clamp Down, and Road Rage. What about the rest?
Non TF Diaclones, alien robots or ancient Cybertonians?
The definitive evolution of the Transformers. From Ironhide to Tracks and beyond…
Fan fiction, comics based on the Diaclone story, fan art. Monthly comic. Parts guide?
LOTS AND LOTS of toy pictures.

Basically, diaclone.net but in English.

That was my thinking exactly.

Who's up for doing it? We have the domain and the technology. All we need is the content.

Just visited your site... Great job. I can't get enough of Diaclone so thanks for building it!
And I found at last what I was looking for: a good example of a blue Bluestreak.

One thing I didnt like about Diaclone.net was the fact that it was missing the Micro-change toys. i.e Megatron (gunrobo), Scopeman, Soundwave (Cassetteman), Reflector (Microx) etc.

Random post here... kinda...
http://www.myspace.com/diaclonesStill available I think? Free advertising & a good way to let people know when new stuff is up.

I'd be willing to help with Pics / reviews (so long as deadlines arent tight! - I write enough documents to deadlines for work) for the few Diaclones I own..
(Currently only 2! but I could do some 'alternatives' articles on ehobby recolours?)
Would it include The GiG and Joustra pre TF's too?
For my money it would need this:
Easy to navigate
Uncluttered
Factual with good pics
Probably good to start with a list of bots. Each one then links to a page that shows all related articles for that toy:
Pics + list of 'what came in the box' (based on most common item)
Review
Variant info (colours / GiG / Joustra)
Links to ebay/tfieds for that item? (possibility for sponsorship?)
Alternatives (Ehobby / KO's / kitbash guides)
Just some quick ideas!
