I've owned a handful of fairly complicated multi piece/combiner die-cast Japanese figures over the years and the only thing more frustrating than initially assembling them is when you have to move or eventually sell them and you have to put them back in the packaging.
Also dusting them is a huge pain, hope you have some sort of case for that thing.
The paint job and number of different colored plastics on that thing is otherworldly. My Takara Fort Max would look like horseshit standing next to that thing.
So this big boy is a Diaclone, yes? Is there a Transformers equivalent? I dont recognize the bot design but to be fair I dont know a lot about Diaclone or Machine Robo toys.
They rebooted diaclone in 2016. Grand robot base was the biggest back in the early 80s and this is an homage to that. Metroplex was originally going to be a diaclone city base and you can see it in this when it has the air fortress attached to the top.
