With Wonderfest Summer 2016 having taken place over in Japan, TFYuki was attending the event and plugged some of the new products from the Takara Tomy Transformers area - but also managed to sneak in another look at Lynx Master, the Sky Reign set in the Unite Warriors line. Check out the image below, and let us know if you're headed for this set, the Hasbro one -- or Liokaiser!

I find it a bit odd that it's been really quiet on the Unite warriors front lately. It's nearly August so Computron comes out in about a month and there hasn't been any word on the next set. The was that small tease for a unite warriors "Victorion" but no standard silhouette teaser reveal. Makes me wonder if they're working on something special or if the line is just done and they just haven't said anything yet.

Looks good! Shame that Ratchet wasn't a (official) figure in Combiner Wars.

May also be that Wonderfest has taken up most of their time, like SDCC for ..well, the entire Western Nerdosphere.

I just spent 2-3 months hunting for a sky-Lynx only to s type buying him online for $50. It's a great mold but I'm good. The hasbro one is just fine and I don't need a ratchet. I replaced smokescreen with Rook so he gets some love.

I m holding no hope for Liokaiser, at least not the Liokaiser we are hoping for. If Takara didn't make Super Ginrai's cab removeable, I dont know why they would spend a ton of resources tomake a new system of 6 deluxes.

Will why must you always piss on people's hopes? Sure there's a pretty good chance of it never happening but there's also a slim chance that it might. It never hurts to hope for something. It's not like the world's going to end if it doesn't come true.

sorry for the pee. I just preffer being a realist and keep a level head. Like when everyone was hoping that Takara would release Galvatron reworked to remove the headmaster gimmick. When they didnt quite a few were dissapointed. That dissaointment can be avoided. I just want to throw it out there that Takara arent miracle workers. But your right, I shouldnt be this much a downer, so you can consider that prevous comment as my last on this matter.
PS: Hoping for soemthing can hurt... a lot.

So I got my Bruticus yesterday. Love him. Alot.
But does anyone else find their Onslaught has trouble clipping his right leg in for combined mode? The left leg (what traditionally goes into Brawl) is fine and clamps in, but the tab on the right leg just doesn't seem to want to catch. He can stand, but it's not clipping.
And just how close are the extra propellors for Vortex meant to go close to his body? When I put them in close like the instructions, they look like they are starting to pop out of the holder clips.
Also, Blast Off, looks amazing, but legs don't seem to hold together in arm mode. But hot diggidy damn, I do love his shuttle mode.

Was Sky Reign the only combiner who didn't get a legends partner?
A little disappointing. They could've repainted Shockwave into Perceptor (use the Reflector head) and it would've worked fine.

That seemed to have been the original plan, but in the end, Wreck-Gar's packaging and instructions made no acknowledgement of interacting with Sky Reign, nor did any Sky Reign's components' packaging/instruction mention Wreck-Gar. Fans have figured some unofficial combinations with Wreck-Gar and Sky Reign, but keyword being "unofficial". Seems that whatever original ideas Hasbro had for Wreck-Gar to go with Sky Reign were dropped prior to their releases.Kurona wrote:RiddlerJ wrote:Was Sky Reign the only combiner who didn't get a legends partner?

Sky Reign was the only The only *standard* release one not to have a Legends figure. BC Predacus and TFCC Thunder Mayhem did not have any legends figures either. Also I guess we can cound LioKaiser as well. Though he has am Arms Micron 6th member, its not a Legends class.

While not initially classed as such in Arms Micron, Liokaiser's box identifies Ion Scythe as a Legends Class figure.

On the plus side, I've worked out a way to have Bruticus with his shoulders locked into his chestplate, and have the Onslaught arms folded away so he doesn't have the big shoulders, and gives him a backpack and his twin back cannons are nice and high, so yey!

PICS!
From the instructions position, straighten his arms out, flip them 180 at the elbow/upper arm swivel and fold them down his back. You will have to finagle his connector hatches out of the way but it shouldn't be stressful or anything on the plastic. I don't htink. Do so at your own risk.
His current backpack gets lifted up so it runs flat in line with his shoulders. Then just move Onslaught's arms in towards the centre of his torso so you can't see them from the front and give the illusion of being his backpack bulk. The guns are still connected to where they should be but rotated 90 degrees to give him those nice big cannons up way past his head And his 'proper' backpack doesn't stick out much past the arm thickness, so it all comes together nicely.

Well this is interesting. I was double-checking my Computron preorder because I might have to drop it for financial reasons, and I can't find any record from HLJ that I ever ordered him at all. No emails, nothing in my account.... odd. Maybe I thought I did but didn't? As I was thinking about cancelling the order it's no harm done, but curious.

Hmm that's odd. I know HLJ can be infamous for accepting preorders en masse before they know how much stock they're getting, so oftentimes they'll cancel your preorder if they've over-sold once they get the shipping numbers. It could be that... but then i'd expect they'd send out a courtesy email to let you know, or again, that you would have some record of it happening.

If only for the sake of completeness I really would like a Hasbro toy colour version of Blast Off as I really can't stomach the colour scheme on the Takara one it makes an already pretty ugly toy look even worse.
They shot themselves in the foot by wanting to make the arms be by his side they'd have been better underneath and he's flattened looking and a sort of contents of a babies nappy colour which isn't pleasing at all. Not to mention he matches Swindle to closely and then they added the weird brown to the Bruticus torso too.
It didn't do MP Inferno or Ironhide any favours either.
Sometimes a desire for cartoon accuracy = a complete disaster.

I actually prefer the space shuttle Blastoff over the jet Hasbro one. Not too bothered about his colours. Though I may still get the CW Bruticus as I can probably get him a lot cheaper than a UW Bruticus. A shame those dont come seperately.RAR wrote:If only for the sake of completeness I really would like a Hasbro toy colour version of Blast Off as I really can't stomach the colour scheme on the Takara one it makes an already pretty ugly toy look even worse.

There is someone on Tiaboo selling the cases split - but they may have sold out of Blast Off now - they did still have some Vortex I think though.
I'm generally a bit puzzled by those colours - they are "supposed" to be cartoon accurate yet they seems in more ways like they got half way towards doing a Operation Combination or Car Robots Valdigus set then got bored.
I guess it's just because I associate a Blue Onslaught with Operation Combination more than I do the Original version of the Character.
It's a shame they never put a rotator in Brawl's turret that would have been so useful especially for later remoulds.
I'm generally a bit puzzled by those colours - they are "supposed" to be cartoon accurate yet they seems in more ways like they got half way towards doing a Operation Combination or Car Robots Valdigus set then got bored.

maybe trying to homage the non mobile turret of the original G1 toy?

Odd, I remember the turret on the G1 toy being able to move (got him from a car boot sale once).
Which kind of makes the fact CW Brawl's can't move even worse.

It could...

I'm not going to get snarky, however, because I made the same mistake in my memory with Cybertron Defense Scattershot...

You all may remember when a Unite Warriors Victorion was teased with the Lynx Master comic? Well, TFYuki seems to want to tease us a bit more. He recently took to Twitter to show off a face sketch of the potential upcoming combiner. We eagerly await more news, so for the time being, check out the image below, and let us know what you think in the comments section!

That's... definitely Victorion's face on purple paper.
Not saying I'm opposed to the idea, it's just that this doesn't reveal anything new.

What we know so far of the character is that she and her components are Decepticons, and her torso component (the Pyra Magna mold) is the "wife of the Emperor of Destruction".
Guesses about component character identities are the obvious idea of Dust Up being made into Nightbird, and Pyra Magna being made into the only known "wife of the Emperor of Destruction" there is: Esmeral (Deszaras's wife).

Very curious to see what comes of this figure's overall scheme and theme.

Is this the same as her toy head? I forget. Everyone draws her with a different head every time.

I was gonna say, retooling Victorion would kind of defeat the purpose of the release, right? Introducing American heads Japan hasn't gotten yet?

I'm a bit more tempted to say this is Esmeral now since there seems to be an attempt to draw a second pair of eyes above her actual eyes; much like her animal helmet she shares with Deathsaurus and the rest of the Breastforce.
