More Images of Takara Transformers Unite Warriors Grand Scourge

That is painfully good looking. But I've decided to just keep my Prime and give him Rook and Alpha Bravo.

He's back up for preorder at HLJ, by the way. He was pre-sold out for some time, but no longer.

Grand Scourge.

Though I passed on the Optimus Prime figure, I would pick this guy up in a heartbeat! He looks awesome, I love those colors.

I am currently LOVING Unite Warriors Grand Scourge. It just has an awesome color scheme and Scourge was one of my favorite characters in R.I.D.1, so I might might pick this guy up at some point, even though Optimus Prime and Motormaster are my least favorite Combiner Wars figures.

What do you dislike about motormaster. I though the truck mode was near perfect.

I love that Motormaster mold. Hands down one of my favorite CW figures, but it appears I'm in the minority.

Well, I don't have Motormaster, but I did pick up Optimus Prime. And, aside from the unpaintable grey plastic (which one of these days, I shall fix with Reprolabels) I've liked him a lot more then I was expecting to based on photos I saw before buying him. Not my favorite Optimus, but still a good mold.

You're not alone! I have issues with Hasbro's CW Prime only because of the lazy paint execution. Though I don't have MM yet, I've seen enough pics to know I'll like him. And I'm dying to get Grand Scourge

I don't think so. He is a great figure. He is such a beast in bot mode. His transformation feels powerful and lends to him being a brawler.

Totally agree. I love that guy, probably my favourite stunticon. And that truck mode is really sweet. I am really impressed at how nice and detailed each mode is (the truck has barely any kibble from the robot mode and the robot mode has plenty of new details you dont find in truck mode). To me, he's the Cybertron Hotshot of trucks.

For all the Mototmaster/Menasor naysayers out there, a simple mis-transformation can greatly improve him!

LOL I was thinking the same thing

I can't deal with that. Rook and Alpha Bravo are going to pair with Optimus. I flat out refuse to combine Autobots with Decepticons.

"FOOL! Galvatronus does not ask, Galvatronus TAKES!"

Haha, also doesnt the bio say he can mid control everyone?

Exactly! Autobot or Decepticon, all bend knee to Galvatronus (or make one).

Kneel before Galvazod!

You're right!

I find that my Motormaster's hips and knees are too loose to get that mistransformation to work right, gonna stick with the default. it works for me

Very old news but just can't resist posting them.

That's just Hasbro's Menasor.

Is it? I don't see Offroad in the bunch. Btw, the source came from Japan.

That's Hasbro's Brake-Neck.

And you can tell that it's Hasbro's Menasor due to Drag Strip having purple stripes and no black shoulders, and Motormaster being gray instead of black.

From what I got from google translate, the event was from a Takara Tomy booth Miyazawa Model Exhibition last April 16, 2015 and was labeled as:

Menazoru
Transformers UW02 Menazoru

TT must not have the actual TT version available at the time of the exhibition.

The deco wasn't finalized back then, so Takara just used Hasbro's as stand-in like they tend to do.

Proof that you shouldn't post replies online after your second beer.

BIG news folks. Twitter user たごーる has posted scans of hobby magazine featuring prototype images of Transformers Unite Warriors Groove! It's been long speculated, teased, and now finally confirmed. It is a completely new mold, and will complete the "Classic" feel of Defensor by giving newcomer Rook the boot.

Along with the Groove reveal, we also get to see our first glimpse of Transformers Adventures Powerglide, Cosmos, Drift, and a Steeljaw (with a very Prowl'esq deco).

Tired of reveals? We're almost done! Earlier today TFyuki showed us Legends G1 Megatron in his cardboard prison, and teased Aramada Megatron. But now he's in the flesh... err plastic! And alongside him is Black Convoy? He of course is a repaint of Reveal the Shield Laser Optimus Prime, and a version of him was already made by the Transformers Collectors Club.

*Phew*... take a deep breath and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

I wont lie, compared the general aesthetic of the combiner wars figures, groove seems somewhat out of place with how much detail and greebling it has in vehicle mode. Not to say the generations toys have surface detailing like TFP or animated, however the texture employed here seems to have a higher budget behind it.

Groove looks kinda cool, and I'll probably pick up Black Convoy.
Armada Megatron looks cool, but won't replace my Hasbro one, and not enough difference in Powerglide or Cosmos.

Nice designs though.

So Takara are making Subscription figures? hmm.. Another black Prime to buy!

Read "Legends Armada Megatron" and got excited for a small $10 figure. Now I'm sad...


Police Steeljaw should totally have K-9 printed on him somewhere.

Best HasTak news of the day.

Congrats to Takara for creating and insisting on original G1 team members for there combiners. Since there made, Hasbro will probably release all of them eventually.

Think it's easy for anyone to speculate that Takara Unite Warriors deluxe Groove. Will get repurposed as CW Technobots Afterburner.

I love it !!!

Time to get into the Groove and send Rook to the toilet !!!

Makes me glad I didn't grab Legends Groove from BBTS for 14 bucks.

I like the look of Groove, but he can't save that Defensor from looking like a gorilla. I really don't see any difference in Cosmos but I'm glad I didn't wait on Powerglide, as I can't stand that big gaudy sticker on his chest. Score one for Hasbro on that one.

Groove can totally use Alternity powers to control two auto-avatars at once, attaching to the same combiner twice, or two at once. Defensor DoubleGroove Formation!

And TakaraTomy blows MakeToys out of the water!

Groove's legs looks like it uses AerialBot leg engineering

I guess you can do that Hahahha. You can also make groove ride groove....



Hmm... just remember paying 100 bucks at BBTS for Subscription Service Scourge.. blahhhh

Defensor DoubleGroove Formation! GIGA GROOVE BREAK!!!!!!!!

I knew it was a good idea to wait. Minus the fact I had no Idea of any proper scourge was ever going to be made again.

shajaki wrote:And TakaraTomy blows MakeToys out of the water!

At a fraction of the cost.

Well at this point I wonder what new character will go with the Combaticons or Technobots when they get made?

I only ask because when Takara brings out the withheld character for "proper" configuration and online retailers follow suit, it'll be nice to know who's getting booted on to Galvatronus's team of castoffs.

Since the Hasbro American prices are so cheap for these Combiners Wars toys. Can afford to buy both toy classes for CW Groove.

I'm still gonna get groove for my , he's a cool chest piece and gives defensor bulk on his chest. Same as blackjack on my menasor and powerglide on my Optimus, in which I have them connected to them in an easy custom form. So far as rook goes, inlike him and I'm gonna put him with alpha brovo for my Optimus Prime combiner

when i first heard of deluxe groove i thought the same thing maybe it will eventually be used as afterburner but looking at that picture of groove they would need to significantly have to retool
it to look right

Cool! and a lot harder to say "no" to than I'd like, But if I can't get to him individually, I'm not too non-plussed if I miss him...


Aw heck, hopefully someone buys a bunch of Guardians and part them out...

Looking at some of the repurposed CW toys. Most are extensive retools. Given that, Think it's plausable to expect a CW deluxe groove repurposed into CW Afterburner.

Guess we'll know in a few weeks at Botcon or SDCC.

Nice designs though.

I think Groove just looks more detailed because it's in prototype form. The gray-scale really brings out the detail that often gets missed in a busy or more diversely-colored deco.



I'll be honest, I was hoping that Legends Armada Megatron turned out to be Armada Galvatron.

Cool, I'll get it when it becomes an Amazon exclusive or something.

You just love your toilet don't you? Seriously, do you even take a crap in that toilet or are you busy using it for making fun of our glorious Alpha Bravo?

But can Legend Class Combiner Wars Groove ride Deluxe Class Unite Groove?

My hunch was right on a not yet released mold for Groove. If only seibetron gives a "No-Prize"
