Now that fans are receiving their Unite Warriors Megatronia sets, we have many sharing images online. We selected several below. You will notice how Mega Empress' knees are correctly assembled, and there is even a display of the different chestplate options with the different uses of the Legends Groove mold. We also finally have an image of the box art. Enjoy!

I still wonder how Megatronia would look with the Override version of the Groove mold as her chest-piece. I imagine the saturation of colors would work pretty well, but then again I could be wrong - out of the ones we've seen so far I think Rust Dust probably works the best (but still not well per-se).

Kinda like Cybertron Thunderblast and Galvatron...
The more I see of these figures, the better I feel about getting them. Just waiting on my bill for them now and they'll be in the mail to me soon.
It is strange that they left him out. I'll just find out for myself when they come in. At the very least he can't look any worse on her than he does on UW Defensor.

Nope, my plan all along was to re-purpose Wreck-Gar with a reprolabel decepticon sticker or 2 and rename him Jester to go with the card theme and make him. I think he looks awesome as a bra on Megatronia. Needs more neon.

Megaempress, and she is indeed built from his spare parts. Why they made her female we may never know. Though if they're anything like IDW Jhiaxus...
btw TFWiki says "Unlike Pyra Magna, Bludgeon and Onslaught from the G2 Bruticus set, Megaempress has the misassembled knee struts." Uh, what?

the biblical story of Adam and Eve: Adam came first, and Eve was made using one of his ribs right? Well, Megatron came first, and then Megaempress came from his spare parts.
Biblical reference in Unite Warriors! WooHoo!

Just got my preorder yesterday and she is totally worth it. Far superior to Victorian in the colors.
I'm calling it now; we need either the full team or at least megaempress canonized. I'd love to see her interact with her "husband" exspecially since megatrons good now.

Yeah; I would've liked some expression to match the teams anime esque personalities. I mean we have a seductress, a stalker, and questionable herald of unicorn but they all have a blank expression (minus flowspade becuase she has a mouthplate and moonheart I don't mind either. It's the rest that suffer.)

I reckon Megaempress would benefit from a little paintwork on her face. A tiny bit of lipstick (purple of course), maybe some blush...
Regarding the "Which bra for Megatronia" conundrum, whilst I'll probably try and get her on her own and thus won't bother combining her, I'd say the best option would be Wreck-Gar with select parts painted black and a new head (Shapeways to the rescue!). I seem to recall the mold can be finagled into a sort of pistol mode, so perhaps with some further Shapeways upgrades, Megatronia could gain the ability to rip her bra off and use it as a gun, stunning the enemy with her brazenness and making them easy prey.
The new character, meanwhile, could be called Sexpistol.

Nope, a couple swords, a blade (no clue on the proper name), a shield and an axe, but no pistols.
That's why you use Wreck-Gar and just rename him Jester to go with the card theme. For me he will be their lackey/whipping boy.

Some stragglers from the news out of Wonderfest 2017, in Tokyo, Japan, include the Takara Tomy Masterpiece and Unite Warriors line - the second update is about the last set in the Unite Warriors line, UW-EX Baldigus / Ruination, which reuses the Combaticons and Bruticus' molds in a new colours scheme.

CW onslaught is going rather cheap here and there it seems so I am tempted to get him...

I suppose, but it's interesting that they kept those when all the other UW boxed sets used Westernized names and terms for the teams, team members, and combiners themselves.o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Not only is "Baldigus" kept instead of using "Ruination", but notice that both "Destronger" and "Combatron" are kept as well.

Probably because there isn't much difference between "Destron" and "Decepticon" Devastar vs Devastator etc...
Takara often (but admittedly not always) followed Hasbro's naming convention, but in the case of CR/Rid- Takara named all the characters first, Hasbro basically threw them all out and renamed all of them. TT should keep it as Baldigus, IMHO. Ruination always just sounded off to me for some reason

like I said, they mostly (but not always) used Romanization of Hasbro names, but in either case, I think they are just going with *what came first* except in the case of Convoy, Grand Galvatron, Megatronia, and Lynx Master which are basically new characters.
Takara named all the characters in CR first. Takara *adapted* all characters from Hasbro's Transformers, sometimes Romanizing the name, sometimes creating their own (which seems to be aabout a 70/30 split...looking at character names from 1984-1986...just by a rough guess)

I think it has more to do with TakaraTomy's design team acknowledging that CR and the RiD 2001 dub are not directly connected continuity-wise. CR is considered part of G1, while RiD is in its very own, expanded, universe.
To keep the two versions of the characters apart, the original Japanese names are used for the G1 versions, while the US ones are for the RiD natives. Makes sense, as the dub by nature introduced quite a few differences and steers the original story in some odd directions. Kind of reminds me of Hyaukujuoh Golion into Voltron.

Cry Baby Cry, I think lunaclub is my favorite figure from the megatronia box set.

Got my Megatronia today. Very nice. Never got Victorion, but I'm liking these remoulds. The combined sword is really nice, especially in that gold paint. Megaempress is my favourite of the set, she looks so awesome, especially with her rail cannon over teh shoulder. And she has the arm articulation to hold it up (yes, I know all of this mould does but they don't use the ladder like that). With Moonheart a close second. Although Lunarclub does look awesome dual weilding the large swords. Overall, a very nice set, and a much better colour scheme than the pastels of Victorion. And the combined mode can point! And has articulated fingers! I was not expecting that.

It is a small shame the changed the combiner wars style/hand foot guns for those of us who like the toys functions in non-combined mode.
As the tank mode's auxiliary cannons are made out of the hand-foot-gun so missing that out leaves the tank looking a little nude - I also kind like the H.F.G. as an option on the jeep too.
Unfortunately the appropriate H.F.G's don't exist in gold, but the darker ones from some of the other moulds should do.
The other use people don't seem to notice you can put H.F.G's too is as base decoration as little towers or guns.
Hopefully someone will sell their Baldigus on under £100 sometime next year when they loose interest in it, or perhaps I can get one in a sale. I don't really £130.00 want one though.
