According to a post at Autobase Aichi the April issue of the Japanese Toy Magazine Kero Kero Ace is reporting that Transformers United will be coming to end with March's wave 4. There's been no news of any United figures scheduled for release beyond wave 4, and with the Dark of Moon line scheduled for release in May could Scourge and company the end of the road for United?

I mean, in a lot of the instructions we've seen the figure with different head molds. Like on Thunderwing's there was a picture of him with a new head resembling Black Shadow.
So maybe the end of United means the end of the Generations and Reveal th Shield is near us. But there will most likely be a "Generations 2.0" including some of those repaints they gave us.

That's kool with me since my wallet definitely needs a break. Right now there maybe only 2 toys from the movie line I'm getting. I can't wait for them to start back, though. I wonder what they are going to do next....

United has some cool stuff, but right now, I'm in a position that I have to be wise with my spending. RTS and Generations in my opinion is still pretty good stuff. The difference between Takara and Hasbro boils down to how you like your paint apps.
I think as far as Classics go, I only own 5 that are Henkei figures. That was mostly because I was dumb back in 2007 and ignored Classics. (Been kicking myself ever since) I still need Cliffjumper, Grimlock, Jetfire, Astrotrain, and Optimus from that line.
I have absolutely no worry that the line will come back under a different name after the movie. It always has and always will.
While the line shuts down, it will give me some work room while I plow through the DOTM line and work on completing my AEC collection. Works to my advantage if you ask me.

Im getting tired of it being around then going away for a year then returning under a new name, just keep the line going call it universe again so that way you can have new molds and repaints of old molds too. Hasbro saves money with repaints & keeps the fans happy with new molds plus its a line that can be a main one or a secondary one its an all around toy line.
I agree, it's an excellent general purpose line. Like our fearless leader said though, it will probably take a hiatus while the Movie line steals the spotlight but I don't think it will go away for a year or so like it's done before. Smart money would be on Hasbro keeping it on as a secondary line the way a lot of stores have been hanging on to TFA while RTS/Generations/RotF is running through. As for the United line, I wouldn't expect it to disappear entirely either. It's probably going to run the same way, taking a back seat to DotM for awhile. Some of us may have to do a little extra driving around to round out our Generations collection as the stock dwindles, but that's just the hazard of this hobby. Happens with every line that's put out.

Good because now Hasbro has the door wide open to get the paint schemes right the first time.
Bad because Hasbro has a tendency to experiment with their own twisted vision of what colors kids like best rather than sticking to the G1 cartoon.
Does anyone miss the days in the 80's when the only difference between Hasbro and Takara issues was the box ??? I know I do...
Also, once DOTM is over they will have no other choice but to return to the Classics/Generatioms/RTS theme which is what collectors want. I dont think theyre going to invest in a seperate Transformers Prime line and have a repeat failure similar to Animated AKA shelfwarmers.

You too? I actually ignored Classics as well, because I didn't know what the Classics line was about. Don't judge me, I was only like 9 or 10! The only Classics I actually got were accidents, but I'm glad I didn't return them. They were Voyager Megatron and Deluxe Bumblebee. I regret passing up Classics Prime the only time I saw him, and it gets even sadder; I had just enough to get him too.

The generations line may go too. RTS and Gen. are too similar in products. One or the other has to go. Even if both go, Robo's right, they will be back. Hasbro will ALWAYS and forever reuse old molds. All that R & D going to waste? I don't think so.
For those who want repaints: you'll get them. Not one single "classics" figure has only been issued once.
So United fans: I am sorry for your loss. But there is always a place for premium figures in the collector market, and for that small niche, their will always be a product, even it is not as common or accessible as the movie crap.

Everyone says the concept of black repaints has been beaten to death, but I love black repaints. Granted I don't have a lot of them, but it's my intention to start buying them up when I get a chance.
I'd also like to get WFC Soundwave repainted as Soundblaster. That would make my day

If you ask me, I think the movie toys are awesome. I own almost all of the stuff from the first 2 movies and don't regret any of my purchases.

Hound and Ravege: Repainted for Botcon 2010
Astrotrain: If you count Classics and Henkei as repaints then yes. Seeing how they both have very different color schemse
Octane/Tankor: To my knowledge he has not been repainted. He most likely will though. Just a matter of time.

Hah, man you guys are so serious. I just said it to piss off you movie fans really, coz I knew it'd hit a sweet spot. But really, I don't care. Its not like I can afford United figures much anyway. Although if I had any toyline to give priority to, it would be the classics. The only good side is the money will I GUESS go towards keeping hasbro and TF figures afloat for longer. Stating that the toyline is temporary does't really matter, most toylines have a start and finish, and so far, the main ones still going for a long time are the classics and the movie, the movie just coz of the fact that theres an actual movie, the others coz its appealing to kids and TF collectors. And who is to say their TF movie figure sales are going to feed the neo G1 figures? might go to the HUNDEREDS of other areas hasbro might need the cash.

This.
Universe ended, then we had RotF. Then came Generations.
I also think that a Classics line will return this year and not next, as happened with Universe (ran from 2008-2009, RotF in 2009-2010, Generations in 2010-2011). I would not be surprised if they run one or more lines concurrently in the fall after the movie hype has died down some (we already know that Prime figures are scheduled for the fall), and given the shelfwarmers we still see from RotF, I'm guessing they're not going to go so heavy on DotM toys.
I hope that made sense. I kinda feel like my comments are a bit disjointed.

BUT at least it gives me time to focus on third party stuff, with some amazing things coming pretty soon.

yeah id have to agree come the fall with the movie dying down and the holidays around the corner. besides they've made it clear that pcc are done after these last releases and with only a few tf:prime figures announced theyre bound to have more up theyre sleeve (both hasbro and takara)
still sad to see for those who like the metallic finish looks good but not my cup-o-tea.

Well, there's two perspectives here that are likely tied together. Transformers have, since day one 1984ish, been among the most playable toys on the market. Realistically, outside of toys where you actually create something (like LEGOs, Tinker Toys, Erector Sets, etc.) Transformers are among the best at helping with motor skills and problem solving development. Plus 30 minute colorful (and two plus hour cool looking) commercials help to provide more "want" ion children. Hasbro has really done well to continue to develop a decent universe (or universes) to continue the rich story lines and characterizations of the toys. All of this ties into the second related point: Transformers makes Hasbro a lot of money. As long as the engineering and creative processes continue to be profitable to Hasbro, they will continue to make the toys, TV shows, and movies.
This eight year old in a thirty something body will continue to buy multiple versions of the best toys, because I also have a son. He's young right now, but I have a Classics Jetfire ready for him one Christmas or birthday upcoming.
So, as has already been proven with the suspension of the Classics line, then the start-up and suspension of the Universe line, and the start-up of the Generations line (and to a lesser extent the RTS as these are also movie-tie-ins), Hasbro recognizes a money maker and will likely continue to milk that cow until all the butter has turned into energon. Or something like that.

Haha, agreed.
lucky kid. It'd be funny if you bought him some future TFs when hes like 9, and then he hits puberty and forgets about them, so you sneakily add them to your own collection until he turns 19 and remembers
In either case I am glad you guys are bestowing upon your kids the interest in TFs, keep it up! Helps everyone, haha.

Besides; it tool EXTREMELY long for the toys to even make it on every store's shelves as of late. (Which is all the more reason why the US should manufacture toys instead of letting other countries do it on the cheap.)

Well based on the number of figures they've released so far, I'm not surprised as numbers wise it seems like the same number as they had for Henkei.
Looks like they're not going to do the Reflector repaint anytime soon then.
I'm already planning to buy Generations Warpath, Wheeljack and Thundercracker anyway so if Hasbro continues the line then I'll be happy. The cost for deluxes/voyagers imported from America isn't too much more than for the Japanese versions.
Looks over to his left and sees MISB United Kup, Wreck-Gar, Lugnut, Perceptor and Blurr, well my wallet will be happy as most of the stuff I was looking forward to like Hasbro Rodimus, Dinobots reissue, continuing United line has been put on hold or canceled and I don't buy movie toys so my TF expenditure is going to be way down this year.

It will come back. I'm more than sure that Botcon 2011 will announce some new goodies for all of us to enjoy.
Classics proved to be more successful than Hasbro had originally anticipated. I'm more than sure that the line will not die.
Keep in mind though that after the movie, we will see the introduction of the TF Prime line. We'll probably get 2 lines in the fall.

Bah! That's cheating to consider the Takara version a repaint of Hasbro. That's a technicality!
I had thought you meant the general re-paints we have seen. You know, like Ultra Magnus from Optimus Prime; Treadbolt from Jetfire; Smokescreen and Bluestreak, from Prowl; Red Alert and Sideswipe from Sunstreaker; the Seekers from Starscream; Tracks from Wheeljack, etc. If we don't count the Takara-Hasbro differences, and we don't count the convention exclusives, then we do only have a handful of deluxe, voyager, and leader molds from the classics line that have not been released as a new character, right? I can really only think of Megatron, Galvatron, Octane, Astrotrain, Cyclonus, and Hound/Ravage. (I'm purposefully leaving out the newest Generations/Reveal the Shield and United versions.) Plus, as I look at my classics shelf....have we really only had one scout released in Wheelie (and there was a repaint of Wheelie, right)? Or was Wheelie a legends figure? I cannot remember now.
Man, it's waaayyyyy past my bedtime. This eight year old has to get up tomorrow and teach Windows 7 to a bunch of college students...
[Edit] Okay, Cyclonus was re-released as a Target Exclusive in "Anime" colors. Maybe that's good enough... That leaves 5 and a half molds, I guess...
[Edit2] And as I went through the Seibertron galleries on Classics, I realized that Galvatron was also repainted to be more "Anime" accurate. Perhaps I should have limited my conditions to new characters, and not just repainting into other colors of the same character. If that's the case, then I stand by my original list. Except I didn't see a repaint of Wheelie in the galleries. But then I was also purposefully leaving out Legends figures, and Wheelie was indeed a Legends figure. Man, s/he was a huge Legends figure!

There was a list of upcoming United figures that Seibertron got sent by an Asian retailer and 'Camera' was listed as a repaint or RTS Perceptor which was going to be Reflector.
No G1 reissue unfortunately, now wouldn't that have been great? There is that new third party one being made if you really want a new Reflector figure for your collection.

To be fair to this particular Henkei snob, I buy both. I buy the Henkei version for myself and the Hasbro version so that you can't have one. QQ

HAHA I said off the bat issued. Some are just premium like paint jobs. But like Galvatron; orignally universe, then the 3 pack with Cyclonus and Roddy, The the funky NEW three pack with Scourge and Cyclonus. But like, Universe Sideswipe; Sunstreaker, RedAlert, Botcon G2 Breakdown, Club Exclusive Punch/Counterpunch. My point being, if you like a mold, you'll have the oppurtunity to buy it over and over and over and.....
