Takara Tomy Diaclone Reboot Powered-Suit Set A and Dia-Battles v2 Photos

I've just recently received the Takara Tomy Diaclone Powered-Suit (Set A) from Takara Tomy, courtesy of my online seller, and I decided to do a photo shoot with it. Along the way, I shot my Dia-Battles to go with it, along with some small photos to show off the wonderful Dia-Naut design.

Optimus Primal: Kong-errific!

Admittedly, I never liked the idea of having Transformers turn into animals - there's a bit of techno-organic horror there, probably because I grew up with stuff like Cordwainer Smitth's Instrumentality, where cyborg Scanners had horrible lives as people cut off from their own bodies, and interfacing with them through their implanted mechanics.

Still, this is one amazing toy. I like how they had the fur effect printed on the plastic, and how solid it looks overall. Optimus Primal is definitely the big gorilla of the MP line.
