Now that everyone remembers that Diaclone exists these fuckers are going for $45 each on ebay

Is there any hope for Diaclone reissues? Knock offs?

Retards. What the fuck is the point of all these goddamned transformers with seats and chairs and shit with no fucking guys to pilot them. I thought it when I was 5 and it's even more fucking stupid knowing that they just opted not to put them in.

I had an epiphany years ago that the only reason Transformers are sentient robots is because Hasbro was too cheap to bring these over.

that's probably true but still it's not like they never had drivers in the cartoon and comics

Do these guys even fit in the chair when the toys are in robot mode?

Yes, but not always practically. They end up on in awkward spots often. Some fair better than others.

>why Hasbro didn't bring these guys over in the 80's

Simple answer: They're a choking hazard.

Kids will put the darnedest things in their mouths including little metal robot men. America has more stringent laws on toy safety and choking hazards than Japan does.

I was fortunate to have these guys way back when, so when Transformers came out, oh hey, they fit perfectly in the molded seats. Like they were made for them or something...

These are so primitive you could probably 3D print them with quite good accuracy. A little bit of chrome paint and voila

Some old diaclone features metal or magnetic strips in places so the figures could stand or occasionally be tied to moving action features like conveyor belts.

Yeah. None of my G1's shoot projectiles even though the launchers and missiles clearly were designed for it.
