New Image of Transformers Unite Warriors Superion

Beautiful! I'm glad to see that some of the "French's Mustard" yellow is actually a nice metallic golden color, a la the color Takara has been using for their Bumblebee repaints of late. Can't wait to have this guy in my collection!

i got the hasbro version cos well basically i couldn't wait

This guy does look better and I would've got him instead as the white feet/hands look more in line with the original. And tho i don't mind alpha bravo would have preferred slingshot + the price diff was not that much of an issue with this guy, think would've cost me less than what I paid for the others.

I think the white backdrop with the white hands and feet and all the other white bits really help to sell the overall look. Fills it out a bit more. Still looks nice. I'll be glad to own it.

Just capital Takara!

Absolutely sweet. I might keep Defensor off to see what Takara does with it.

Six thousand years of recorded history, a history that includes remarkable composers, astonishing symphonies! But what is the one song that half of them sing to their children generation after generation?

He's looking a lot better than the initial reveals.

i wish we were able to get some white hands and feet for the hasbro version

You could still spray-paint them white, just make sure you use a quality brand.

7.8 Too much white.

i don't know about that, painting white over black doesn't always come out good
maybe ill save the trouble and get the perfect effect upgrade they would look better anyway

Interesting, they have the back fins down for Firefly and Slingshot. Sorta like a flared cuff

XD this is so true, perhaps if I ever have kids I will forbid them from listening to anything other than jazz and classical. (both of which I like)

Will they then only be able to play with Classics Jazz?

That would surely be a lot of punishment.

From @TFYUKI.

I'm wondering what Takara could do to differentiate their Devy with Hasbro's seeing as I think Hasbro's colour sceme already looks pretty accurate. Maybe it'll be more show accurate instead of Toy accurate.

Devastator for smash bros DLC confirmed?

They might have Mixmaster pointing the other way to keep the G1 accuracy they are going for? Just kidding, that wont be happening, hence why I have no clue what would be so different aside from a few paint apps for the individual robot modes.

Also, if Chuck is reading, I think this kind of dispells the rumours of the bots being released individually. In the end, did any of your contacts' predictions play out correctly?

Please do not take this the wrong way, I am just really curious about where those predictions came from and what they were based on.

Remember Encore 20A? Betcha that will be the color scheme.

How's about a G2 Devastator in a Smash Bros.-style game?

I'd be up for it if it where available here.

I like how the metallic yellow looks on Silverbolt, but aside from that, I think I'll stick with the Hasbro Version, IMHO they're very similar, certainly not different enough to justify import prices, but nice for those who want as much G1 accuracy as possible

And especially with the case of Silverbolt, extra G1 deco works on this figure who's sculpt and alt mode is going for the G1 look. I am more tempted to go all out G1 deco on silverbolt more than say Motormaster simply because the later's alt mode is not G1.

Seibertron native Cyberpath has let us know about TF Yuki's latest tease: TakaraTomy's Transformers Unite Warriors Devastator! Of course we all know what Hasbro's take on the green behemoth looks like, but how will this differ from his Stateside cousin? At this point he doesn't even have a number designate, so join us in the Energon Pub and let the speculation begin!

Keep scrolling to see the pic, and your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

Doh...you beat me to it! I think they may go that same route like a Anime version I think it was.

So this will be a Titan Class combiner??

yes

so a slightly different shade of green and purple?

Ultra Markus wrote:so a slightly different shade of green and purple?

Many times, that's enough. I bought Takara's MP Soundwave just for that red visor.

TF Yuki has taken to Twitter once again to give us a new shot of TakaraTomy Transformers Unite Warriors UW-01 Superion! This confusing shot is the five Aerialbots merging into the mighty gestalt. The gift set (slated for release in June) sports a cartoon accurate deco and includes the long lost member Slingshot. But if you want to see Hasbro's helicopter shinned take on Superion have a look at Seibertron's extensive Galleries. Have a gander at Yuki's shot below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

Combining?

So far all of them did. He has a source that's in contact with an Asian market dealer I think. I don't ask a lot of questions. That's a good rule for life.

Ordered a long time ago and still happy i did, this set looks fantastic. The only thing that could make it better is if the individual bots' guns are all black and not white like on the pictures that we have seen.

Cool pic!

Here's the latest as of writing this:



Looks like he's simulating the original toy here, no elbow articulation, and the jets on the back of the legs.

Btw, can Superion's gun peg to Fireflight's wing?

what about the time they said hotspot would be based on the prime/motormaster mold? and I am pretty sure takara's cw devastar wont be released as individual mps.

OMG a Devy teaser !!! Hmmmmm....I wonder what the mold will look like ?

standard 5mm port, so I don't see why not

Its not an MP, but its definitely MP scale. In my opinion, this choice cost Hasbro a lot of sales from both the CHUG and MP buyers. They better hope all the 5 year old kiddies break out their wallets or the warehouse shelves are going to be green for a long time.

I agree with you on the scale, but if the serious mp buyers take a close look at this sucker,
1: it's not screen accurate and,
2: nowhere near MP quality.
If they put this thing in an MP box, they might as well put the RID line in them as well.
I'm sure you're right about Hasbro hoping the kids will come through. I know it's just become lawn mowing season, but I've yet to see packs of kids offering to mow my lawn to save up for this. You have to wonder if after the initial novelty is over, this could be a Costco pallet warmer.

Cool but noo articles for the transformers legends updates and the liokaiser concept art
