      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.

    • @budgiecat9039
      @budgiecat9039 8 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      +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).

      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.
