So it looks like Takara's version of Galvatronus comes with the Rook mold, the Ironhide/Off Road mold, the Air Raid mold and the Skydive mold. If they're simple repaints or minor remolds, they'll be easy passes. Really....the only way I'd be interested in this set is if they're completely different characters that haven't had a toy in a while.

My thoughts are they are going to be some iteration of Scourge, Hook, Line and Sinker. We'll just have to wait and see.

Evil rook with possible new head? Yes please

Still not a bad idea I'll be happy with pretty much anything. Sure to be some good eye candy

Though, what's the point of releasing the mold, if people in japan wanted the character? For rook, it works, b/c they haven't gotten the mold at all, but without ruckus' head, offroad is really no different than the ironhide they're getting...

True...maybe they'll make Hook, line or sinker have some new heads? Or maybe some new characters. Who knows. I babble

Maybe they'll give evilrook a hook to plug into his hand, and he can be... sinker ('cuz he punctures things with the hook)

Someone on another board suggested that the UW release of Galvatronus could be another Energon homage like Convoy Grand Prime was. This idea led me to make the following guesses:

Cyclonus as Energon Megatron
Rook as Snow Cat
Offroad as dump truck Demolishor
Skydive as Starscream
Air Raid as Jet Mode Scorponok

Galvatronus as Megatron Hyper Mode

Will buy ASAP if this happens. Love me some Energon homages.

[Cobotron]

That would be really cool.

[Hellscream9999]

That would be really cool.

Indeed, I missed out on the energon galvatron/megs so that would be a neat homage to get, wonder if they would change all the heads too?

The guy who replaces Rook looks nice...

A grayscale toy is nice-looking?

I think he's referring to bigroove

It would push the bounds of "Energon" (maybe Unicron Trilogy homage?) but I find Cybertron Thundercracker closer in style to Skydive. *shrug*

While true, I feel that any update to Cybertron Thundercracker needs to retain his signature giant gun arm.

Unite Warriors answer to Galvatronus on left of image....

Starscream looks like one arm, the other looks like Skyquake to me perhaps, possibly Soundwave is the other leg and as for the Rook repaint the only thing it reminds me of at first glance is Overlord, certainly isn't Quake.

The set looks like it's nothing to do with Leo Kaiser either.. so we may still have that to come too in Unite Warriors form.

What I find odd though is the colours the non-Starscream looking arm most resembles to me is Armada Thrust !!!

Folks have been speculating that this will be unicron trilogy themed, due to Rook's colour scheme resembling one of demolishor's many repaints, and a grey cyclonus, among other things.

There *was* also that version of onslaught with the Demolishor head that showed up somewhere a few weeks back, so we know the head mould exists already.

[Va'al]

Several Seibertronians - RAR, MemphisR56 and Mindmaster among them - have been speculating on the appearance of the silhouette for the upcoming Takara Tomy release under the Unite Warriors line, of the Combiner Wars Galvatronus/Cyclonus mold. What seems to be the latest rumour from the image mirrored below from TakaraTomyMall, is that the entire set will be homaging the Unicron Trilogy, 'due to Rook's colour scheme resembling one of Demolishor's many repaints, and a grey Cyclonus, among other things'. Rightly pointed out 'there *was* also that version of Onslaught with the Demolishor head that showed up somewhere a few weeks back, so we know the head mould exists already'. What do you make of this? Check out the image, and speculate away in the Energon Pub!

[Cobotron]

Wow, this has me very interested. Just on the colors alone, regardless of what it may homage.

Did Starscream ever wear his traditional colors in the Unicron Trilogy?

[Marcdachamp]

On one hand, I really hope this is true. On the other, my wallet is begging me for it to be false.

[Optimizzy]

Energon starscream had a g1 homage. I'm really down for this. I've been wanting some random 'con combiner limbs.

[Rated X]

More bogus homage repaints instead of new characters. Money saved. Now where is Victorian and G2 Superion already?

Energon Starscream was repainted/remolded into his G1 not-undead look.

All in all, this seems strange to me. I would have expected a line up based on characters' start of show colors, not their repaints, and if they were doing an Energon homage, I would have expected torso-tron to be rendered in white, blue, and green (start of Energon), or to look more like the American version of CW Cyclonus, the G1 colors a close match to Energon Megatron's G1-Galvatron-style repaint.

Edit: I really feel like his left arm is supposed to look like Cybertron Crumplezone, but except for the torso being Thundercracker (if it uses Scattorshot's head), nothing else seems to line up with Cybertron/Galaxy Force. Plus, if they were doing Cybertron, I'd have expected Hotspot and Groove to be Mudflap and Ransack.

Edit 2: Left arm could be Armada Thrust? But again, the rest don't really line up with Armada.

[Cobotron]

Ah right. Thanks. I have Ghostscream. Forgot about the repaint.

I'm not convinced on the homage theories yet, though I'm open to them. I'm hoping it's just some wacky new cannon on Takara's part.

[Autobot N]

Obviously, the right arm is Starscream and the left leg is most likely Demolishor. The torso looks like it could be either Cybertron Galvatron or Energon Megatron (keep in mind that I know next to nothing about the UT. I'm just going off of colors). Left arm has Armada Thrust colors. And the right leg could be Brushguard. Or maybe an upsized Payload.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Pretty nice colors at least. Now give us some official names and shots!

[Starsaber468]

Left arm looks like g1 starscream, right arm looks like its armada thrust with those colors, the left leg looks like its soundwave, and the right leg idk who its supposed to be but until then the supense will be killing us XD but I bet some people are annoyed that the limbs aren't alpha bravo, off-road, and Rook XD

[Railbomb]

I think the torso could be homaging G1 Galvatron's toy colors.

[Starsaber468]

Theres probably some hardcore fan screaming at the screen the character they think the right leg is XD

[Sabrblade]

Just what in the world is this thing supposed to be?!
