Diablock (ディアブロック, Diaburokku - a contraction of "Diamond Block") is a line of Japanese construction toys manufactured by Kawada Co. Ltd. These are centered around interlocking bricks, with their most well-known foray into international markets being the smaller Nanoblock series. They released a handful of Transformers sets in partnership with TakaraTomy over the years.
Notably, beyond the standard and Nanoblock releases, they actually had an entire planned subline of Transformers sets that unfortunately didn't make the cut.

Notes
- Needless to say, Diablock's sets are heavily based on the traditional LEGO construction block system. However, unlike most other "LEGO-inspired" construction block toylines (such as Hasbro's Built to Rule! and Kre-O), Diablock actually features an entirely unique interlocking mechanism that isn't compatible with their Danish counterparts. Another interesting feature of Diablock's mainline Transformers sets is that they don't have to be disassembled and reassembled to form their alternate modes, the same which can't be said about the aforementioned Hasbro equivalents.
