The Tactical Mover Series is a an exciting new addition to the Diaclone line, embodying a “Hard-Diaclone” aesthetic which emphasizes military sci-fi elements. However, it shares the same fundamental DNA as the existing Diaclone line, including the worldview, timeline, and the invasion of hostile forces such as the alien Waruda.
The synergy between both lines will enrich the Diaclone universe, adding even greater depth and complexity.
Please note
It looks like the TM-XX codes are retailers-specific identifiers rather than official designations from TakaraTomy.
We are seeking further clarification on this matter and include them here purely for your convenience.

TM-31 Tactical Mover Horus Versaulter (F Thrust Unit) Storm Sabers
This custom Horus Versaulter was adopted as the latest flagship machine of the Storm Sabers, an assault team made up of elite members of the Diaclone air tactical unit. Equipped with a multi-sensor reinforced head unit developed exclusively for the team, various customizations have been applied to each part of the machine, such as the…

What is a Tactical Mover?
In response to the increasingly complex and diverse attack patterns of the alien invaders, the Diaclone bases around the world were forced to form specialized tactical units capable of operating separately from the main combat forces that carry out large-scale operations and dealing with various subdivided cases.
As the main combat machine, a cutting-edge combat machine with the power to counter the current increase in the minimum individual combat power of the Waruda was developed by gathering together the best of Diaclone science and technology.
This was the birth of the Tactical Mover, a tactical mobile soldier.
About the Tactical Movers
Tactical Mover (TM) is a general term for a variable-type tactical mobility machine that has the agility of a PS (Powered Suit) machine and the interchangeable variable functionality of a Tri-Verse machine, while also having more combat power than a PS machine and more versatility than a Tri-Verse machine.
It is composed of a variable frame system (VFS = VERS Frame System) and a cockpit module (Bullet Core), which was developed based as a compatible multi-purpose combat system . Depending on the situation, it can change its form into a combat vehicle, a two-legged high-mobility machine, or a humanoid combat machine, and can respond to various battle scenarios and missions.
The prototype of the Tactical Mover is a benchmark model of the PSM-Gamma type, which has the most well-balanced combat potential, and has been developed with the goal of blowing up the total machine power value, such as maximum power, machine strength, and drive power, to more than six times that of the PSM-Gamma machine in decisive battle mode. It was developed with the goal of blowing up the overall aircraft strength value to more than six times that of the PSM-γ.
In addition, all tactical movers are equipped with the multiple coordinated attack system as standard equipment, which was first introduced in the field in the PSM-γ machines. Like the PSM-Gamma, it is a machine that shows its true value in team combat maneuvers.
Like the PSM-γ, it is a machine that shows its true value in team combat maneuvers. Furthermore, like the PS machines and medium-sized Trivers machines, it has dedicated external optional units that specialize in functions such as flying, running, and artillery, and by combining with these units, it can perform more powerful and advanced combat maneuvers.
Tactical Bullet Core
A cockpit module that has overall control of the Tactical Mover. The head unit is equipped with the latest generation of the B.I.G.-A.I combat operating system.
As typical of all Diaclone Bullet Core machines, it has the functions of a wingless thruster aircraft capable of short-range aerial flight, and serves as an emergency escape pod in the event of a major frame failure.
V.F.S.: Vers Frame System
A variable limb-forming frame unit developed from the VERS compatible multi-purpose combat system. Each arm, waist, and leg unit uses an in-unit independent drive system with a built-in generator, so that even if some of the units are destroyed, the overall drive system can continue fighting without interruption.
There are frame variations for different functions and environments, such as a ultra high-mobility types as well as aquatic etc.
It can also be connected to other series of Bullet Core modules, but the control circuit system must be adjusted in order to achieve the same level of maneuverability control as the dedicated Tactical Mover Bullet Core.
