One of those nifty toys that SHOULD have seen a release into the TF-line, but didn't. The Diaclone Triplechanger. :-) Robot, to copter, to plane. Nifty. As you can see, the one pictured below is an Italian Diaclone. This unit was released in both Japan and Italy. There's also a knockoff of this unit, pictureed below.



The fake. A faithful reproduction, even copying the boxart, similar to the way the fake Diaclone dinos rip off the original ones. Note the cheaper insert tray (versus styro of the real ones), the grey (versus chrome) weapons, and of course the ever-present copyright stamp. :-) If it's not stamped Takara, it's more than likely a fake.
