Mech Fans Toys Lost Planet DA-01 KO Diaclone Reboot Dia-Battles V2

[@johnstevenperez4186]

Got my birthday present to myself today. A MFT Diaclone DA-01. I'm glad mine was packaged well and it was complete and the box intact.

[@DragoonMS]

Now you need some of the Diaclone themed repaints of Masterpiece Transformers to build your Diaclone army, like Delta Magnus (Powered Convoy), Roadrage (whatever Tracks was in Diaclone), etc.

[@ahchiu9]

My original/authentic one did come with that sticker sheet. The "stickers" were actually magnets that you could use in conjunction with the magnets on the drivers' feet. I imagine these are the same

[@primalconvoy]

Yes, I forgot to mention that. I didn't see any stickers in mine, though. Not really needed, for me.

[@orobas]

But are the stickers still magnetic with the OK?

[@Einhazard]

Yep! One goes behind the head of the combined mode next to the grey button that triggers the head mechanic. The other two go under the wheels of the motorcycle when it's in storage on the little ship. I think that's it, right?

[@LakeSG1985]

orobas I've read that the KO's are just regular stickers, non-magnetic.

[@gumperP]

I've had issues with ShowZ and crappy boxes, pretty sure it's not them, but only from whatever shipper they use. Figure looks great.

[@gamingguru2k6]

This is so cool. Now I need to buy it when I can.

[@Scotty-Z70]

i remember seeing the original come out, excited, it was amazing. then i saw the price. ... .. how can anyone afford that!

[@artnandez]

I think this guy would go great with the NECA pacific rim figures, especially the monsters

[@yunoyuluvit]

Wasn't Starriors released as R.A.T.S. (Robot Anti-Terror Squad) in the UK?

[@TheMasterNo6]

yunoyuluvit Yes it was. Offshoot of ZOIDS in Japan I think originally.

[@primalconvoy]

UPDATE: ShowZ and TfDirect checked some of their recent stock and confirmed that their stock has the extra powered suit, extra pilot and small black guns. They both emailed me. TFDirect is going to update their site description, wheras ShowZ isn't (as this might still be a limited run of extra suits and don't want advertise something they might not have in the future). I would advise you to contact ShowZ, Ben and get your missing suit! Also, to everyone, I reccomend contacting any given site before to confirm if the suit is included before ordering.

[@rhyantiangco8271]

The thigh ratchet are really stiff. I fear it might break the peg where it is attached if you keep on playing with it.

[@candkvidogames]

hey ben you are also missinf the free mecha that goes with your broken gun..its one of those mecha suits..its supposed to be in a little baggie attached underneath the plastic clamshell that was crushed..

[@primalconvoy]

Yes! I Just posted that above but wasn't sure if it was main gun or a mech suit gun. Show Z doesn't show the mech suit, nor mention it as being included. That seems a bit shady, or an ommision on their part. Ben, could you contact them and get back to us about why ShowZ hasn't got the extra "powered suit", but Sirtoys does? you even got the gun from it in the box!

[@BensKOllectables]

I got a Powered Suit in a separate box it was the limited edition one though so I don't think that's the same one that was meant to have been included?

[@sparkcrusher]

blue and silver? i think they said the suit only came with the first release of the ko, but im not sure.

[@primalconvoy]

Ben, please check the tfw2005 link I posted, as I've been collecting information about this for you and other people interested in it. It seems that recent purchases of this toy (, including my own) had the figure. TFDirect mentions only 3 pilots (even though a reviewer who bought one got 4 pilots and the suit got theirs from tfdirect). As you got the 4th pilot and guns, yours came with the mech. If it came with the review version, you should have included it in the review! Anyway, I'm waiting for showz and tfdirect to get back to me, as they're doesn't seem to be any mention of whether any version contains the mech suit (except for Sirtoys, which shows it in the pics at the site)!

[@Castor2552]

Hello, you don't show how to disassemble the robot in other aircraft and the legs/tank.

[@primalconvoy]

UPDATE: - I just mailed Mr Zex at ShowZ to explain why their website, and Ben's reviewed sample, seems to have ommited the powered suit. Will get back to you folks if this is replied to.

[@odaichi17]

Primal Convoy can you ask him why show z has gone completely and utterly to shit in the last 3 months? They've gone from a 9 on a scale of 1- 10 to a 0

[@Scotty-Z70]

well, shoot! these are sold-out! I guess i was just too late.

[@sparkcrusher]

how are the wing joints on yours? any issues with the ones that attach to the wing engines?

[@BensKOllectables]

not that i can see my friend

[@sparkcrusher]

cool, ta :) got mine, and its fine aswell, looks like the KO has soled the problem that 2 official versions couldnt XD excellent review btw

[@The_Barroth]

Last hope starriors makes a comeback too

[@TheMasterNo6]

What's the quality like Ben?

[@OptimusMonk01]

You'd think in a review of a KO that'd be the number 1 thing to talk about right? But apparently not for Ben "send me stuff for free and I'll only say good things about it"

[@twilight_phantom2969]

NinjaCyborg he said it feels very similar to the original

[@troylandzerep8045]

Is it just me of thus the head looks Sadder than the takara one hm..

[@eyescovered]

hope they KO the Big Powered GV, too!

[@odaichi17]

eyescovered you and me both they are doing Omega supreme as well they call it huge dragon

[@momihog]

Poor Man's Diaclone

[@primalconvoy]

Ben, you can read a a paraphrased reply concerning your powered suit from Show Z at TFW2005's KO discussion thread: - www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/the-knock-off-transformers-thread.191817/page-1547#post-15595427 Hope this helps.

[@primalconvoy]

UPDATE: I posted my research into this here: - www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/the-knock-off-transformers-thread.191817/page-1544#post-15589139 I also contacted TFDirect to see if they can check their stock, as reviews at youtube (feat. this toy bought from TFDirect) show the mech suit, wheras their product page states only three pilots are included and no mention of the suit is made. I think that as the box doesn't show or mention the suit, and as Mechfanstoys possibly hasn't mentioned it to the etailers, then they simply popped the boxart and stated what was in the box from thta art at their site without checking what was actually inside. Thus, Ben just got unlucky, possibly. Hopefully, if all goes well, both ShowZ and TFDirect can confirm that the suit is in the box and then update their product descriptions at their sites.

[@OptimusMonk01]

Could you do an ACTUAL review? Talk about the plastic quality, molding artifacts that might need to be removed. How well does it hold together? How does it compare to a genuine one? You know, stuff that reviews are supposed to cover.

[@primalconvoy]

If you buy this from Sirtoys, it's cheaper and you get an extra "powered suit" with it (which I think the extra pilot is meant for, as the original Dia Battles only came with 3 pilots). Have a look here: - sirtoys.com/images/toys/items/IMG20180119112338_dbv2.jpg The most noticable difference between the KO and official (for me) were the colours of the bike and the pilots. Anyway, I got mine from Sirtoys and there is still stock: - sirtoys.com/toys.php?c=16&p=3759&t=MF_Lost_Planet_DA_01_Dia_Battles_V2.html Mine was a bit banged-up too, so maybe it's the source that's to blame rather than the etailers?
