I have a theory that in the diaclone storyline, Jazz's pilot is the main character.

No kidding. It was like the designs were bad ass to begin with and then giving them actual personality made them even cooler

@@eta_carithebrightlord3396 I do kinda agree, due to the Porsche’s commercial being an incredibly cool one, if we go lore wise, he’s probably the protagonist, but he also probably has to pilot some of the modular mecha

that’s the reason we come back here very often

For real

Diakrone*

Catchy, ain't it? 🤣

car-roboto!

+Francis Dela Peña It's basically Microman

They made a few Diaclone inspired redecoes for Botcon in the form of Burn-Out (Generations Skids colored black) and Lift-Ticket (Gen. Hoist colored red). I'm kinda hoping for a four pack of Ultra Magnus, Legends Optimus and Roller, and Minimus Ambus in a Diaclone-colored set. Optimus would be colored blue and black, Roller would be the Powered Buggy, and Minimus would be the Diaclone driver that came with Powered Convoy.

PutYaGunsOn and I'll bet the Micronaults (Micromen) would be the pilots of these mecha too?

They brought this line back last year.

Hasbro should reuse these toys as either generics or ancient transformers (or both) in reference to where the original transformers toys came from.

Is it me, or when Ultra Magnus goes into the convoy mode at 10:50, he looks like Wingsaber from Energon?

It's Delta magnus.

The white Blitzwing is Overcharge. The Red sunny is spin out, the white sunny is cordon.

LOL

10:52 galvatrons nightmare

He craps Brown Cubes when he sees an army of Optimus Primes.

it scared Megatron so much, that he will give Starscream command of the Decepticons.

Now I know why the Japanese called him Convoy.

actually it is the 80's for these

dream on man...

Yeah so imagine a kid when Transformers finally came out in 84!🤯

Yeah, but I wonder if Powered Convoy is just Battle Convoy rebuilt like Megatron resurrected as Galvatron or they are two separate units like Optimus and Magnus?

@@Rassenomatjutut They are piloted mechs, so they are distinct units, not the 'same' character in a new body.

The deceptions would have lost if the Autobots had that army

@@jamesperkins191 I mean, I wonder if Powered Convoy is an unit separate from Battle Convoy (Optimus & Magnus), or Battle Convoy rebuilt into stronger unit, like how Dino Megazord was updated into Thunder Megazord?

@@Rassenomatjutut I'm not completely sure, but I think since they have different serial numbers / callsigns, they are separate machines that could be seen side by side.

Almost as if there was no stop-motion...as if they could actually move on their own...

+6672rock Clever, but certainly NOT cool!

As Marty McFly once said, "All the best stuff is made in Japan"

sorry I mean model

Japanese robots were cool since the Shogun Warriors debuted in the mid 1970's.

It's also because of that film

Yep, plus they figured that Japanese kids would probably find it hard to pronounce "Optimus"

same haahha

Richard Coffman Or DAIA-KUROOOOONNNN

sounds more like dia-klum to me XD

DDDHHHIIIIAA-KKHONe

DIABETES

As I lay on my death bed those will be my last words

+Davethe3rd I feel like Diaclone was the next evolution of Microman (aka Micronauts) since it used the same Micromen figures, only much smaller than the original ones. I guess thats why there was the name change of "Diaclone". Well, I think by then, the U.S. toy distributor for Takara's Microman (aka Micronauts) Mego, had already gone out of business or whatever, and I'm not sure if they kept the Micronauts toy license or Hasbro refused to buy it off them... so perhaps Marvel could have tied Micronauts into Diaclone...but probably felt it better to make a new story and more interesting to make them sentient. And its not like Diaclone or Microman had existing Anime at the time. (Microman would get one but much later on).

***** also Takara tried to bring some of them over to the U.S. before signing with Hasbro, but they failed. One of them was a wearable robot watch forget its name

Shuraking Dino it would be american's answer to gundam. But i'd prefer my transformers sentient tbh

Budgie Cat the robot watch was Kronoform

Budgie Cat Takara held the rights to the molds and some of the Micronauts branding. They allowed several companies (Gig in Italy, Lion Rock in the UK and parts of the US, Joustra in France, El Greco in Greece, Hour Toys, M&D Toys and Palisades in the US) to use their/Mego molds and modify them if they wanted to under various names after Mego went under. Hasbro didn't buy the rights to the brand till 2009 iirc Also Microman and Diaclone had manga's and story pages in magazines that were pretty popular so they could have easily made animes off of those if they wanted to back then. I'm sure Marvel would have wanted toys closer to their Micronauts characters though.

And the series made it big as a story of an Earth Defence Command fighting against alien invaders?

Good luck Just for additional information that figure never made it to the Transformers line

Meow

Pgy 3831 They are just redecoed.....

He figured the gig he had before just wasn't doing it for him.

@@Mr.SM2939OLD They're literally the same toy.

They were always just contractors.

@@The_Dark_Master you can get the Takara reissues for $120-300...you don't have to spend $800 for a Diaclone version.

Megatron wasn't a Diaclone figure. He was a Microman Micro-Change figure. Althouhg both Diaclone & Microman were owned by Takara.

@@naturesfinest4871 Depends if it was one of the other guns There where other guns other than the one megatron is based on

@@jesusramirezromo2037 there's only one G1 Megatron figure....pre-rub symbol or otherwise.

@@jesusramirezromo2037 there was also the Microman Gun Robo figure.

Edward Smith Japan never had those laws though. Sentai toys, as an example, continued to instead have rather amazing "gattai" sequences for their commercials well into the present day, rather than showing a bunch of kids playing with toys.

I wish American toy commercials had alot more effort and love put into them instead of regurgitating down our throats that special effects are being used.

What are you suggesting? That my Toyota will not turn into a robot and kill everyone in my apartment complex? :D

Importing American toys to Japan was probably expensive back then I'm guessing. It's pretty expensive nowadays. They might not have seen them that much.

@@creekandseminole Well you see, the toys were imported from Japan to the US, not the other way around. So no, Transformers was not a rarity in Japan as you were suggesting.

So what was the first Pokemon before Pokemon was called Pokemon @@thegoodmudkip3652? 😆

@@jackharpe3rd233 Uhhh, Pocket Monsters? What does this have to do with Transformers?

Well for one, I hear GameFreak does alot business with Takara Tomy @@thegoodmudkip3652. Whenever I look them up on Google images, I usually find Transformers, (of course) Bayblade, but also Alot of Pokemon Merchandise! So I wondered how long have GameFreak and Takara worked together? Also you're a Mudkip, so I was hoping you would know.

As much as I hate to admit it, this is very true though. 😮😮😑😑

Japan was on fire in the 80's they couldnt be touched. They had the best toys, the best musical equipment, their cars were outselling all the domestics, they had the Walkman, they had the CD player, motorcycles, lawnmowers (lol), RC cars, model kits, etc. All during that Showa bubble era. Now China's on top (ugh)

True, and I'm also glad I preferred Beast Wars and the Transformers anime's in the 2000's over that overrated Western toyline and cartoon that gave Diaclone a bad name callled Transformers G1 because that fanbase was driving me hella crazy lol.

@@kinnikuman-devilman_fan_2002 All too true. I am going to hunt down everything i can find of the japanese transformers anime's

@@dgray3771 ._. What are you talking about? Beast Wars 2nd and Galaxy Force weren't creepy, they're cool in my book.

なんだかトランスフォーマーの影に隠れてしまっている気がする

You can pick up "Spinout" for the masterpiece line who is the red version of Sunstreaker, commemorating the first transforming car robot and his backstory even has him as being a diaclone effectively joining it's universe to the Transformers officially.

Actually that was never confirmed, since in Diaclone, they were Mechs instead of living Robots, they could very well designed Powered Convoy as a New Version of Battle Convoy or at least a new model (which, considering how many Convoy Models they have released since then, is probably the case)

@@DarkAnon100 Anyway, Japanese version of Optimus Prime is Convoy, and Ultra Magnus looks too much like Powered Convoy.

He was finally released in the Masterpiece line a few years ago and he looks every bit as good.

He's sometimes known as silverstreak.

What about Exhaust, deep Cover, dk 3 breaker and loudpedal?

Also the robot car from the second advert is Jazz

That time when devastator was good hahahaha

Yes just like Zoids that had pilots, silver or gold. I never realised this as a kid the transformers were missing pilots. Also Starscream and the Jets have a cockpit you open up.

@@alexojideagu Yeah even though I knew who the Micronauts were since my uncle had the toys (and he gave me Baron Karza) I couldnt put two and two together that they were linked to transformers because the Micronauts figures back then were much bigger.than the Diaclone and Microchange figures (which were the next generation of Microman toy line) and never came over here just their mecha in the rebranded form of Transformers Actually my friend had a Microchange back then in its original box that he used to show me but that was the Megatron one which obviously didnt have a pilot.

There was an additional Diaclone Triple Changer who also never became a TF who was a horse in one mode.

+DairuggerXV you are wrong.Dropshot is a never made Diaclone Who transformed into a horse.That helicopter guy was going to be in TF but was canncelled.Also astrotrain may be a unreleased Diaclone toy too

Wish they released the Helicopter/Jet transformer though as a Decepticon. I would call him Fumes as a reference to his appearance in Dreamwave comics. Also Astrotrain was most likely planned for Diaclone since there were Triple Changers in the line.
