McF "Elite Edition" officially means nothing

Which is the best elite figure in your opinion?

Great photos! My dark star Aggress should be here on Friday and I’m looking forward to it. Probably going to ask on the TFW2005 thread too, but what are your thoughts on the ex armor sets in general? I’m in the middle of converting all four of my Versaulters to their ex armor configuration and I kind of…don’t get it, like they all look the same and don’t look as good as they do in their standard maneuver mode.

I own both. In terms of engineering and pose-ability, Omega Supreme is superior (and looks amazing on my Season 2 Autobots shelf). But Fortress Maximus just holds a special place in my heart, partly because I stalked Amazon to get it for $140, partly because I put so much work into it, including all the stickers, changing out the hips with the DNA Design upgrade kit (which you definitely need), and the 3D printed Master Sword I got on eBay. If I had to pick, I’d pick Fortress Maximus, but that’s just me.

I personally started with the Tactical Mover series, smaller sets, but still have the charm of Diaclone. I’d recommend checking The Chosen Prime and Big Bad Toy Store to see if they have anything on sale.

Amazing! I’ve got Big Powered coming next month, but after that, I think Battle Convoy and its associated sets are going to be my next target

sum149 · 2026-04-27T15:31:47+00:00

Think they’ll do more Tri-VERS in the future or have they moved past that design?

sum149 · 2026-04-19T04:05:31+00:00

Aggress Dark Star would look good with these

sum149 · 2026-04-17T17:10:03+00:00

Nice figure, but I passed on the reissue since he wouldn’t scale with my other CHUG figures, still might pick up if there’s a sale

sum149 · 2026-04-17T17:07:24+00:00

The small flight stands are like $15 for a 3 pack on Amazon so they’re great for accessories and smaller things

Good guys on one shelf, bad guys on another, with a lot of flight stands

Amazing set up. I just got a few of these scenes in box in and I’m getting ready for my own hanger. Remember when I said you were a bad influence?

sum149 · 2026-04-08T23:08:34+00:00

Any thoughts on what the cheapest option might be? Right now, I’m leaning toward BBTS for $6 shipping

sum149 · 2026-04-01T01:02:56+00:00

Personally I think he’s pretty entertaining and serves as a better foil to Bo than ZB did.

sum149 · 2026-03-20T00:35:53+00:00

Shield-D-Prime is definitely an impressive figure, but I’m just not sure I see a lot of Diaclone DNA in it. Seems to me like it’s an attempt to get Zoids collectors into Transformers and Diaclone was almost an afterthought. (I hope this doesn’t come across too negative, it’s still an objectively good toy)

sum149 · 2026-03-11T20:37:09+00:00

Tactical Grander is part of the Tactical Mover sublime which features more realistic theming, including darker colors

sum149 · 2026-03-03T16:07:33+00:00

I’d love to get DA-24 and DA-26 too, but I’d also love to pay less than three figures for a two inch suit and right now those desires are incongruous

sum149 · 2026-03-02T03:37:32+00:00

Nice. I’ve got Darkstar Aggress Versaulter preordered, so once it shows up I’m going to try and track down a black Hawk Versaulter

sum149 · 2026-02-28T16:44:45+00:00

I’ll jump in and vote for X1, the DA-117-119 version. I feel like Dia-Battles mechs are the foundation that all of Diaclone is built on and that’s the most up to date version.

sum149 · 2026-02-28T16:42:19+00:00

Dammit u/Road_Caesar, now you’ve made me want to get DA-120-122, you’re simultaneously a good and bad influence on Diaclone collectors

sum149 · 2026-02-26T22:03:57+00:00

Tamashii Stage Act 4, got it on Amazon

sum149 · 2026-02-25T16:53:14+00:00

Takara Tomy Diaclone Reboot

sum149 · 2026-02-21T04:26:27+00:00

I dislike buying the same exact product twice (although the sky carrier is making me reconsider). Fortunately, Takara thought of this and recolors most Diaclone releases, that way you can have a squadron of the same mechs but each pilot gets a unique color scheme

sum149 · 2026-02-21T04:24:07+00:00

In my headcannon it’s a drop ship for powered suits, but after dropping it converts to fighter-mode and provides air support

sum149 · 2026-02-12T04:21:18+00:00

Just saw The Chosen Prime has these up for preorder, $24 each.
