Notes:

This variant of the Waruda Legion, (Ripper), is of the Dark Cathode type and is commonly referred to as “Dark Ripper”.

Waruda Legion (Ripper) is a Waruda mecha equipped with a cutting armament that can cut through anything. The Waruda Legion (Ripper), characterized by its sharp humanoid silhouette that differs from previous Warudamechs, is a mobile giant with an agile attack drive that is completed by combining the Legio Core, which serves as its core body, with the lightweight functional expansion unit suspended from the accompanying hanger raider.
The Ninja-type fighting style of the Ninja Ripper is to taunt Diaclone troops by forming a formation with multiple units, maneuvering in all directions at ultra-high speed, and unleashing high-speed attacks that make full use of sword- and ring-shaped cutting weapons while creating a barrage of bullets with its multiple missile launchers.

The various armaments incorporate a dimensional transfer system and are the crystallization of terrifying dark super science that far surpasses the common knowledge of earth weapons.

Head Unit

Like the Waruda Suit, the same model with a light/dark exterior has the attributes of a cathode and an anode, and the two yin/yang machines work in tandem to trigger special functions such as fully synchronized attacks that can transform and create optical wards with strong defensive capabilities. When the cathode and anode are mixed and merged, the two units can efficiently control the energy between the combined units and create a super amplification effect of the total power.

The overall height is variable according to the connection patterns of the limbs and other units, making it possible to create a variety of enemy mecha corresponding to various Diaclone machine sizes. The height of the final form is equivalent to that of Diabattles V2.

Legio Core

A humanoid mecha that appears to be an evolution of the Waruda Suit. It is a mobile mecha with a Warudaroid unit fused to its chest pod, and can be considered a kind of powered suit. Each limb has an extension connector, and the legs can be changed from a two-leg type to a one-leg type.

Armament of Warudaregion (Ripper/Dark Cathode Type)

Dimensional transfer cutting sword

The blade part is a kind of dimensional transfer device, a sword-type amputation weapon that locally transfers the part of the target to be amputated that the blade comes into contact with to another dimension, causing it to disappear. By connecting the same type of sword vertically, it becomes a powerful shooting weapon that shoots wave flux super particles from its tip.

Infinite Missile Launcher

A weapon that fires a small, multi-range, highly maneuverable tracking missile. The missiles are instantly reloaded by a launcher-type dimensional transporter, and unless the transporter base is destroyed, an infinite number of missiles are generated.

Infinite Wheel Cutter

A circular, high-speed rotating cutting weapon that can be thrown or attached to an aircraft. The cutter emerges instantly from the wheel-shaped dimensional transporter and is infinitely generated unless the base of the transporter is destroyed.

All component units: subdivided state

Each component unit is subdivided to the maximum extent possible, using a variety of 20mm joints, greatly enhancing the degree of freedom of recombination variation within a single product. By linking with other items of the same type or with various already-released Waruda sets, recombination play can be expanded to a super wide range.
