Collector Coin for Takara Transformers Unite Warriors UW-EX Megatronia

Hold on, why is there an Autobot symbol on there?

Because the coins and sleeves are made by people who dont know the toys. This isnt Takara, its a hasbro asia add on and we've seen worse. Remember Defensor, he was shown with the Hasbro chest.

Yeah, that's a big case of "Whoops!"

Haha, yeah I remember that. I also just noticed that it says Combiner Wars on the coin itself, looks like they really don't know what they're doing

It's just sad that the Legends class Motorcycle mold has four characters (3 from Hasbro and 1 from TT), and none of them are a Decepticon to go with Megatronia. Sure it will be neat to see the color comparison of how these cycle-bots contrast with her, but I like my combiners to be uniform in faction (well except TFCC Wreckage which is an oddity to begin with...) . Really, Really wishing that TAV Override was named differently, and was a con'.

TR Rumble's package image is that of a recolored Rewind too. While the in package is well...Oopsie or just beating the deadlines.

Maybe this is a mass error set which will make it even more collectible?

Iguanus would have been a good redeco.

if I had the money, I would be adding this to my fembot collection,

xMXUx wrote:Hold on, why is there an Autobot symbol on there?

Victorion is an Autobot, so Megatronia must be one as well. Redecos changing factions? That's just silly

And I found another goof, though that may depend on how well you see colors: the lower left corner representing Flowspade is off.

I'm going to wager a more logical guess that Hasbro Asia intended to release Combiner Wars Victorion with a coin and changed their mind. They kept the existing coin, photoshopped the sleeve into Megatronia's colors and called it a day without changing symbols.

Aren't the CW boxsets general retail over there in China, Hong Kong, and SEA?

I would have loved a coin with my Victorion

Yes, but this one was supposed to be something special being the Fan Built Combiner which they may have at one point thought made it worthy of the coin treatment, then changed their minds. None of the other UW coins say Combiner Wars on them so why else would this one? Coupled with the Autobot symbol this is what makes the most sense.

But the bright side is that the most common deco for that mold is white, meaning Groove can be easily dyed into whatever color we wish with minimal paint - Flamewar probably being the best for this particular team, if only the head were a bit rounder.

I probably should've stocked up myself before throwing that out there.

Easy Solution, Wreck-Gar and a decepticon sticker from reprolabels. The blinding bright orange should fit right in color-wise. Just make up your new character name and you're set. Or even keep him as Wreck-Gar and pretend he was capture/enslaved and turned into their lackey.

FYI - tfwiki has Astrotrain being released 1/28 and Megatronia on 1/31. The have Baldigus on 3/25 as you mentioned.

I guess I spoke too soon, I just got my notice from BBTS that Megatronia is in.

Just got the notice megatronia hit my P.O.L

Another toy update today comes from the official Takara Tomy Transformers PR account on Twitter, and features the Unite Warriors line with Exclusive set Megatronia - shipping soon - and the Bruticus redeco Baldigus, also known as Ruination to some of us! Check the two in the image below, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

Still no clear reveal of the box art.....??. I mean we know what it looks like, but it'd be nice to see a nice big pic without a watermark.

Damn both look so good. Gotta fight the urge...must...not...spend tax return.


Megatronia just doesn't look complete without a version of Rust Dust

That would make sense if Hasbro Asia had produced any of these incentives for the Hasbro box sets. Which they haven't.

Unfortunately, just chalk it up to sloppiness on Hasbro Asia's part.

We have some new images of the just released Takara Tomy Transformers Unite Warriors exclusive, UW-EX Megatronia, courtesy both of the company's official Twitter account and Taiwanese Facebook user tungyunhsiang, showing off the redeco of the Victorion combiner and her team of Torchbearers/Rust Renegades - both in comparisons with the Hasbro figures and alone. Check them out below!

oh japan. some how that art at the end didn't feel right.

Fembots lathering each other?

I still want that torso fembot. Not bothered about the rest, but Megatronia does look nicer than the rather bland looking Victorian.

Megaempress looks great, it's a shame she's not sold individually. I still don't like the orangey-pink on Lunaclub, but overall the set looks a lot better than Victorion. If the price drops on Kapow Toys I'll get one.

If you are talking about this - http://takaratomymall.jp/img/goods/4904 ... /comic.pdf

I think you are being really silly. They are just hugging.

But there are some rather...odd poses... as one scrolls through.

I kinda wish I knew what they were saying to see if its just my mind being dirty or not.

But then again it's not as bad as *shudder* kiss players.

No, he's talking about this:

I really love the concept of a R63 Megatron. However, I don't like the rainbow-colored combiner. So for me, my Hasbro Victorion is the superior set.

I just love combiners with a uniform color scheme. Devastator, Victorion, and Computron are the champions. Bruticus and Defensor are not perfect, but the members don't clash too much with each others. But Megatronia, Liokaiser, Optimus Maximus, Galvatronus, and the likes, I really don't apreciate.

Still, if one like the colors and don't own the Victorion original, Megatronia WILL be a solid purchase.

Welp. Thanks to this thread I have laughed so hard I had tea come out my nose. Congratulations.

Megatronia and her team will be having a meeting with Decepticon HR after this I am sure. Though it is kinda cool that according to the comic that the matrix is the oracle in Japan.

No, the Oracle and Vector Sigma have access to the Matrix (A.K.A. the Allspark, A.K.A. the Transformers afterlife dimension).

yeah... THAT! although rather tame compared to *shudder* kiss players.

I mean at least all the robots in that picture are adults of their species.

I am the nerdiest nerd. I got books, magic cards, and I can solve a rubix cube! Without taking it apart even. (Id rather be a smart nerd than a dummy any day!)

Who's in the back spying on them?

Seeing these 2 side by side and looking at the knees makes me wonder if Mega Empress also has the mis-assembled legs.

Also, does anyone else see the 2 chest faces staring each other down? Creepy.

She's self-lathering then.

See, that image just makes me cringe at the awful cacophony of metal screeching on metal that must be happening in that bathhouse. Like the sound of two cars slowly scraping against one another.

Can we quit ignoring how great trickdiamond is, like legit waifu material here.
She just doesn't give a fuck about mega empress

Dear "genius" Before you go rolling your eyeball on my post please make sure you know what you are talking about!

This is the image that was taken down

A case of shooting first ask questions later? Even the reference link is off.

It has been speculated by some that certain parts are softer and more flexible on Transformers (hush your filthy mind).

I was referring to their palms and mouths.

I would agree with that theory. Their lips could not move when they speak if they were rigid. Otherwise they would just have a panel that goes up and down. That and they would not be able to touch one another easily. One bot would try to help another bot up or give them a high five and BAM! Everyone has dents. Cars do have parts that are rubber, leather and silicone so I would assume that those parts could make up joints and other parts that are made not to be fully armored.

Well gee, I am sorry that I can't read Japanese and the site is hard to navigate. No need to be snippy.
