Diaclone Toys That Could've Become Transformers

Description YT

A blue Blitzwing. I don't know that I knew that this existed. Holy s***, this looks awesome. Look at that. My favorite is the

  📍 original Takara Blitzwing which was a gray jet and a green tank. I mean isn't this just cool?   📍 Imagine seeing this on a shelf.

He looks much more menacing in those colors than that's for sure.

Right?

  📍 It's like Astrotrain. He was a black train and a white shuttle. That's how you do it. Diaclone was like basic and good.

  📍 And this was the triple changer that never released in the US. It just looks so cool. Look at his helicopter, jet, robot.

  📍 Megatron had two brother guns and this was one of 'em. This guy looked freaking cool.

  📍 And here's the other guy who also looks cool and his body is really well proportioned.

  📍 Blaster was originally part of a working radio. You could insert   📍 a compact radio device into his chest.

This would link the radio device with the   📍 on-off button station, dial and speakers on Blaster, powered by two AA batteries.   📍 Blasters gun was designed for the mono earbud that came with a toy.   📍 First you put the ear bud into the hole in the gun. Then you've wrapped the wire around the gun stock and finally the Jack goes into a hole in the gun stock.

  📍 I always thought it was an interesting gun design but this functionality makes it even better in my eyes.

  📍 Now Soundwave was a microcassette recorder replica. And he came with a replica headset and mic.   📍 Another toy from that line transformed into binoculars.   📍 And when I looked closer at the photograph, I noticed that   📍 his arms look really close to Rumble's piledriver arms.

  📍 📍 It's like this rabbit hole, right? You start looking at all the Diaclone stuff and all the things that could have been.   📍 Even the Deluxe Insecticons, like how they got screwed over and weren't able to be added to the cartoon.

  📍 There was also a ladybug female Insecticon that was never released because Hasbro bought the toy line before they made the model.

Oh really? Man.

  📍 G1 tank Autobot that was never released. Part of the Dorvac toy line that Whirl, Roadbuster came from.

  📍 Oh Dorvac. I guess you're talking about this big ass tank looking dude?

Yep. That is the one.
