It looks like Diaclone might be making a Japanese comeback

That looks rather nice. Good to see them returning to look at doing this sort of thing - I'd been hoping when the Masterpiece line started that it would go back to reimagine stuff like this, sadly that kind of stalled out after the King ExKaiser release. Please to see them giving it another go.

Great Robot Base is fantastic. I actually have the concept design art for it in one of the artbooks on my book case. (I think there is something wonderful about the fact that Optimus Prime, Great Robot Base, the Siren and Harpy spacefighters, Gunhed and Aquarion are all linked through one man. It always amuses me). I've also seen Great Robot Base in the plastic and I have to say that he is a piece of wonderful Super Robot bonkersness.

Three unnamed Diaclone Pilots (I don't think Diaclone had any actual named members, and likewise none of the Waruder Aliens were named) and their mecha Battles -1, -2 and -3 which combine to form Diabattles ("great" or "big" Battles) a big humanoid mecha.

I think we were pretty certain what colours it would be from the start cos it needs to resemble the original Diabattles
