Talk:Diaclone

So, how much of the Diaclone line was actually used for Transformers? Was it all of it? Only some it? --Gouki 11:31, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Almost the entirety of the 1982, '83, and '84 molds were turned into Transformers. Specifically, starting with d37 (Countach Super Tuning) through d96 (Triple Changer jet/tank) along with w(aruder, the villains)7 through w10 (which became the Insecticons). Oddly, the last toy released for each faction, the helicopter/jet Triple Changer and Machine Dragon respectively, never became Transformers. Also left out were d63 through d65, the three Change Attackers. These were presumably shunned because they transformed from real civilian vehicles to combat vehicles instead of robots (ala the slightly later Kenner MASK), which would have gone against the ban on drivers in Transformers. You can see all the toys from their Super Robot beginnings in 1980 to the end here: http://diaclone.net/orid/list.html -Rotty 17:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, cool, thanks for that. So... since you know far more about it than I, should we actually put this sort of information in the actual page? --Gouki 03:16, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

About the catalogs.

I found some catalogs pics here, it would be valid if I take some of those for the article? MESIAS_ROCKET 22:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Toy listings

Should we have ALL Diaclone toys or only those that were later made into TFs? Should the toy listings be linked to the appropriate TF? Khajidha 11:50, 2 October 2009 (EDT)

Added toys that became TFs. Still considering adding links to those TFs. Looking for more input on how best to handle that (differences in decos between Countach and Sunstreaker, etc).Khajidha 17:14, 3 October 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, I was thinking something like [User:Mazenoise/Diaclone|this]]. -Mazenoise 05:55, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

How about [User:Khajidha/sandbox/diaclone|this]]? I still need to add spacing and I haven't mentioned most later releases (Road Rage, Hauler, Artfire, etc.). I also haven't done anything with the other subgroups.Khajidha 13:15, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

It's good, but I'd say it would be good to see which Diaclone toys became which Transformers at a quick glance, rather than having to put your cursor over the links. -Mazenoise 13:29, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

Good point, I'll work on it some more later. Khajidha 13:42, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

I'll say, with a few little tweaks that's just about ready to be put into this real article. -Mazenoise 13:49, 5 October 2009 (EDT)

I cleaned up/fixed/added info on the pre-Jumpstarters and pre-Constructicons. While writing up the Constructicon stuff, I realized that adding in which vehicles had grey roofs in version 2 and other smaller bits of info was just becoming too much so I scaled it back to just listing the most obvious differences. I hope that's ok.RavenG 02:14, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
