Especially with that upcoming re-imagining of a certain red and blue truck...

Sorry, do you have a source for this news or rumour? I haven't found anything online about this, and the current Diaclone line has so far steered clear of realistic vehicular modes.

Oh, after searching using different keywords, i found information on Tomy's official Diaclone site: https://www.takaratomy.co.jp/product..._5_operations/

That silhouette of the truck cab looks more lunar vehicle than realistic truck.

Yup, but the bot mode bears a faint resemblance to Battle Convoy.

IMO, MP-10 looks like a decent stand in for a Diaclone 2.0 Convoy anyway. Unlike MP-44, MP-10 bot mode looks like a sparkless mecha.

OK, so it turns out we will be getting a new Diaclone Battle Convoy, DA-65 Battle Convoy V-Max. Takara Tomy Mall has posted pictures. It's a modern homage to the original mold but the back of the robot mode reminds me of one of the WFC Optimus Primes'.

Man that thing looks amazing. Pricey, but it also look like decent value for what you get.

Its odd though as generally Diaclone seems expensive. Like these 4 little dude/ettes and a bike is 4000. I'd really like t pick up some vehicles, but I don't yet see the value. Yet that Battle Convoy looks not bad for what you get.
I did pick up a free D-man from comic-con/toy show last year and his name is Gary and he is small and also awesome.

350aud is a lot for that Battle Convoy, if it was cheaper i'd bite but that price is really offputting

Going by the other Diaclone reboot offerings, Battle Convoy will be worth every penny. Sadly, I can only admire it from afar.
