Diaclone Cars 3

http://tfsource.com/blog/diaclone-car-robots-part-3/

 

New Countach / Sideswipe is probably my favorite mold of the Car Robots line.

Also, this is the first time I've seen a picture of the inside of Powered Convoy DX, by which I mean I did not know that the Powered Buggy was included, inside of its own box no less.

Diaclone: More than just car robots:

I was surprised about some of the playmats, which I hadn't seen before. But either I missed it or it wasn't mentioned that the Construction Robo were also available as single items, in addition to the giftset.

It's there Trip...

 

"The toys that would eventually become the beloved Constructicons and the mighty “Devastator” started out as the Diaclone Construction Robo team, available in this glitzy giftset and also single-packed"

 

:)

 

Just to answer a question from earlier in the thread, I believe Hasbro used the Japanese Convoy artwork for their reissues because the original US Prime artwork by Jeffrey Mangiat was lost or damaged so was not available for use on their Commemorative series reissues. At least that's what I heard.

 

All the best

Diaclone Abroad:

I believe that at one point, I determined that the Diaclone LP500S Police Type that I have is the Italian version. It, unfortunately, was one of the toys that went underwater. The only problem it has is that (besides being dirty) the stickers are gone.

 

Speaking about the Joustra transition from Diaclone to Transformers toys, I find it interesting that the Gig transition involved one year of packaging having BOTH the Trasformer and Transformers logos on them.

 

I know there has been no mention of Diaclone KOs in any of these articles, but has there been any Pre-TF KOs besides the Kingdam series? Most other KOs seem to have come out after Transformers started being made.

 

Since the Diaclone articles are finished, will other Pre-TF series be then covered like Microman, Dorvack or Beetras?
