Junkion Warrior revealed in promo for upcoming Transformers United products

I watched the 86 movie last night and I swear I was thinking about how cool some of the Junkion wariors would be as CHUGs to go alongside Wreck Gar.

the 3 packs are great-but I wouldnt be too interested in the Con one but the Autobot 3 pack sounds great.......I obviously dont have Wreck Gar or Kup and need an extra Roddy f the upgrade kit.

so much coolness in this line.CHUG is the best modern TF line IMO.

well if Wreck Gar is good in person as he looks in the pics then I might like a junkion too to have them interact (I don't wanna say ride each other...). I already have Classics Rodimus and I don't want any of the others (had Cyclonus and sold him and the rest don't appeal at all).

A generic Junkion to go alongside Wreck-Gar would be awesome. Would only need to change the head really, the movie showed several different noggin designs.

Depending on how different the paint apps are, one could get the more 'expensive' TFUnited Scourge imported to be Scourge, and troop build Sweeps out of the relatively cheaper US version so the mass produced ones all really do look the same.

Sooo... These 3-packs are in addition to the regular United versions and have different color schemes? Or will these particular molds be exclusive to these sets?

Scourge, Kup, and Wreck-Gar will be available as regular Transformers United figures. I'm pretty sure that if you want this version of Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Rodimus you'll have to get these sets. It's possible that Scourge could have a different paint scheme to differentiate him for a Sweep with collectors.

What size is Wreck-Gar?

Deluxe class.

I wonder if the US will get a Junkion warrior version of Wreck-Gar or if this 3 pack will be the only way. If it is I might go for it just to get a non clear version of Henkei Roddimus

If they have new colourschemes, absolutely.

If not, then I'll pass

Hmm, I'm guessing the Junkion Warrior will have the same color scheme with a new head. I saw HFTD Insecticon at TRU yesterday and couldn't help but think what an awesome army builder mold that it is. I am having the same feeling with this Junkion Warrior. Hopefully, he is sold separately as well as a part of this three pack.

Ah, I see, thanks. I'll probably be sticking with Hasbro versions this time around, but in the off chance the Takara ones are significantly better, it's a lot easier to pick up non-exclusive versions.

I'd really like to see a Voyager Class release of the Galvatron mold.

The one that's out now is way too small.

im gonna take a wild guess about the rodimus, galvatron and cyclonus figues in these sets and say they will probably look like the challange at cybertron set we got earlier this year, just based on the mention that they were to be g1 movie accurate. if they ment g1 figure accurate, i may have to consider the autobot set

If there's a Junkion then Scourge should be a Sweep!

Cyclonus in movie colours like the other 3 pack = win.

I have to say I thought that Transformers United Kup's colours looked pretty movie accurate to me already.

They could gold plate Classics Galvatron and he would still be an absolute turd of a figure. Give him a Masterpiece already!

Hot Rod in movie colours would be seriously cool, bring on the pink!

I wonder if there will be a repaint of Generations HftD Jazz in the nearby future? I see great potential for a Stepper/Ricochet

Me too! They'll make Stepper/Riccochet for sure.
They could totally do Hotspot from Inferno/Grapple as well but that one's a little less likely.

I think you mean Artfire or maybe even Load Hauler

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:I think you mean Artfire or maybe even Load Hauler

Absolute win. I would snatch up both no matter how costly.

Stick a new head on Wreck Gars body huh ???

If you catch a still frame of the planet of junk, there are plenty of head molds to copy. Would be nice if a 3rd party company could just make a "Junkion head set" that way yoou can buy 3 cheap Wreck Gars and attach the heads. The could also make clip on body armor and weapons and shields to make them look different. Now that would be worth the money rather than a repaint.

I did actually mean Hotspot from the Protectobots. He would be the best choice for a repaint from this mold.

They've already done G1 combiner members like Strafe, Onslaught, Wildrider and Dragstrip and Hotspot would be a good choice if they wanted to use the Inferon/Grapple mold again.

I hadn't actually heard of load hauler or artfire until I checked your links. I wouldn't bother with artfire as I don't like his paint job, load hauler looks ok but think I would pass as I just don't have space for anything other than my favourite G1 characters/characters that were important.

I just love "The Transformers the Movie"1986 and can't wait for them to hit our shores.But i still hate RUBSIGNS.

That's a pretty good idea actually.

Sounds like a perfect job for Headrobots.

Now if headrobots could just make a G1 head for poor old Generations Blurr to replace that monstrosity he had on his shoulders at the moment..........

Agreed, that could potentially be really cool.

e-HOBBY has updated their website with more information on the Transformers 2010 e-Hobby Exclusive - Autobots & Decepticons 3 Packs (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... oon/20194/).

The Autobot Set:
- Rodimus Blue Clear Version
- Kup Damage Version
- Scrapheap (Remold from Wreckgar)


The Decepticon Set
- Galvatron Purple Clear Version
- Cyclonus Purple Clear Version
- Scourge Purple Clear Version



You can view the original post here: http://e-hobby.co.jp/ehobby2010/

I'm not interested in the Autobot pack anymore. Blue Rodimus isn't one I want, I'd rather have a clean version of Kup and I can do without the Junkion warrior.

I might be tempted by the Decepticon set but these are pretty pricey! $100 including shipping and that's just for those of us who live in Japan.

Out of all of that I'm really only interested in the Junkion. Wonder if Hasbro will be releasing a Junkion remold of Wreck-gar?

so we get three molds that have been reissued quite a bit in clear plastic, one new figure in clear plastic, battle damaged kup and a head remold of Wreck Gar to make a junkion? the remold seems like win dunno bout the other 5

Can't say I'm too thrilled with them, but I'll snatch them up anyways.

I'm far less enthusiastic about this set now. At first sight, if Rod, Kup and Junk were killer-Henkei colored, they'd be BOL (bought online), but now...? They just don't interest me any more. Can't stand "Battle Damage" toys. What are all your takes on Battle Damage?

I hate battle damage, unless it's barely noticeable like on 20th Prime.

Blech, pass on these for sure. Not only do I dislike battle damage, I'm also not a fan of clear figures. Junkion is the only one that sounds interesting, and chances are we'll get the remold down the line with Hasbro anyway.

Sounds to me like the purple clear for the Decepticon set is trying to recreate the part in the movie where Unicron reformats the Decepticons into Galvatron, Scourge, and Cyclonus. Basically, they will be clear purple with the grid lines kind of like that chase Megatron figure From that PVC set a few years ago.

I just got a new email from E-Hobby stating that there is already a delay in when the ordering period will be for these sets.

http://e-hobby.co.jp/ehobby2010/

That clear purple plastic will have to look pretty darn cool for me to part with 8,000 yen.

Everyone is presuming that Kup is Battle damaged. The description only says Damaged. It might only be versions of the United figure that have been dropped on the factory floor, lol.

Double pass on these, as I share the sentiments of the majority on here. Most of the versions I get, but why clear blue Rodimus?

I'm pretty sure in one episode of the animated series that he turned blue, just for one scene or something.

A wasted opportunity. I'm sorry but he would have looked super cool in movie accurate colours (pink, orange, yellow and grey).

The Decepticon pack could be cool if it's done right but I'd have to love it for that price.

A second blue Hot Rod. Enough to warrant a blue Protector upgrade?

For sure, good call. They should totally release it at Botcon or as an exclusive at a TF event like I think they did with DIA Commande.r

the purple cons sound like they could be kinda cool. I too am expecting a Unicron-Reformatting theme there.
blue Rodimus doesn't bother me one way or the other, the Junkion will hopefully be released separately (or a 3rd party company will do a bunch of add-ons in a set, a few new heads some armour and weapons?) but Damaged Kup? could be more in line with the cartoon/movie colouring. He was always a bit dinged up on screen. That'd be nice.

I find myself interested in the Autobot pack.

I always see Kup as old and rusty, so the "battle damage" may be appropriate.

Depending on how they do it, a blue Roddy may work well in the Shadow FP armor (assuming I can get that)

And a Junkion with a remold from Wreck-Gar would be great! They can get a lot of remolding/repainting from this guy to make many variants, and I'd be on them.

Buying this will depend very much on the final products and the impending wallet pain.

Just a guess, maybe to simulate the blue light coming out of the Matrix when he opened it to destroy Unicron?

Too much Rodimus already. Really glad FansProject is releasing just two add ons for the classics mold. It's redundant to the point of lunacy, now. Is there any way we'll get a continuation of the Transformers with brand new characters, or is it gonna be Optimus Prime for another 25-30 years? www.move_the_hell_on.org

Here's an idea... how about a couple of new factions? You can come back to Autobots and Decepticons whenever you want. How about a new cyber world? In other words - tell us about the Gobots, Hasbro!

That would be kinda cool, but the legal rights to everything except the Gobots name itself, and a few of the character names, are sketchy enough that the lawyers would never allow it. They couldn't even call Armada Unicron's minicon Gobotron fer cryin' out loud. And I don't know about anyone else, but if I see figures called Autobot Scooter or Agent Turbo or Decepticon Cop-Tur on the shelves, I may just so much my face bleeds.

I would love a GI Joe vs Transformers line, though. Make the Joes really small like Human Alliance sized, I don't care, I just can't believe Hasbro's never done it (one prototype aside).

Unicron's moon being named Dead End has nothing to do with trademarks. The designers didn't want Unicron being overshadowed by a Gobots name homage, that's it. Hasbro has access to all Gobot charcters via Tonka, but not the molds. Crasher (as Fracture), Spoons (as Deadlift) and Night Ranger (as the cancelled Backtrack) got homages, and Bug Bite was kept intact as a character, but as a Decepticon instead of a Renegade.

Anyhow, Two factions (good and evil) per line are plenty according to Hasbro, and adding more would only cause confusion. Case in Point: Beast Machines Buzzsaw was originally a Predacon, but chucked with the Maximals instead.

there are already other factions than the Autobots and Decepticons. Maximals and Predacons of course, and arguably Junkions, Quintessons (including Sharkticons, Allicons and whatever else they want to make up), Dinobots, Vehicons and Minicons. Granted, most of these are off-shoots of the originals, or in some way affiliated with them, but they needn't be in every continuity.

I'd also be interested in more unaffiliated characters, or at least those with very loose connections to the overall military commands from them at least. Devcon, Lockdown, etc as bounty hunters, maybe a small warband of guys led by Bludgeon, that sort of thing.

I really hope scraphead is released separately. I think the idea is that these will all be unique, so I'm not holding my breath. Maybe I'll be able to grab scraphead alone some how.
