- Movie: Bumblebee
- Hasbro ID number: 19
- TakaraTomy ID number: SS-EX
- TakaraTomy release date: November 29-2018
- Accessories: Left & right blasters
- Studio Series Dairu utilizes a recreated mold[2] of Headmasters Dile, transforming into what appears to be an aqua-green Iguanodon. Two silver-chromed blasters plug into the faux cassette tape holes near his hips. In tape mode, he fits into the chest compartment of the original Blaster or Soundwave (and their retooled reincarnations).
- Dairu can also form the upper body of an unnamed combiner with Uruaz... though it seems far more likely he is intended to do so with Uruaz's heroic twin Zauru. His weapons become over-shoulder artillery in this mode.
- Despite appearing identical to Headmasters Dile at first glance, there are a large number of tiny differences in the stickers and molding. The most immediately-noticeable is the combined-robot's lack of a "normal" mouth, as well as the bolts connecting his black-plastic parts being covered on one side, rather than having big silver-metal bolt-heads on the original. The one large difference of course is that unlike the original, the black dinosaur arms and feet parts are made of die-cast, not plastic. And, of course, Dairu uses the Vintage G1 style of rubsign, with a solid-red symbol and mirror-reflective silver border.
- He was only available in a San Diego Comic-Con 2018 exclusive box set, alongside Uruaz and a gold redeco of Bumblebee. In Taiwan, this set was available at general retail. The set later saw release without any changes in Japan as a Tokyo Comic Con 2018 exclusive.
- He was redecoed into Studio Series 20 Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway Uriad.
Notes
[edit]- Dairu (ダイル) is the direct Romanization of Dile's original Japanese name. That name is wordplay on the back half of "reptile" (レプタイル reputairu). It is not the Japanese rendering of "dial" (ダイヤル daiyaru).
