Diaclone are pre-transformers. G1 is nothing more than a revamped toyline. Takara and Hasbro took someone else's idea, and added a story to it.

The coolest part about Diaclone? They all came with drivers. Prime's cab opened up for a reason. Ironhide had that chair face as a last ditch fix.

Etc ...
