If these are brand new things, well, I'll just be generally interested til we hear more (and hopefully see too)

To give a decent guess, maybe these are the 2-pack Power Core Combiners (re: Target "Masters"). Probably will be opaque like the giveaway figures they've been producing lately.
Looking at the solicitation for Artfire, maybe these figures will also have two mini-cons per figure?

We can't even tell what these are. The "Prime" in their names is vague and ambiguous at best; especially with them being some kind of "Prime Mode", as they say.Rated X wrote:Ughhh, more prime repaints.

And you hit the nail right on the head without even realising it.
Combat Master is PCC Bombshock with Combaticons and Jet Master is PCC Skyburst with Aerialbots, with "Prime Mode" referring to their combined forms! Roller and Chopper could be any of the three Wave 1 2-packs: Huffer, Smolder or Searchlight.

Not when this is United and no Prime. JelZe seems to have figured it out as being the PCC figures.worldsgreatest wrote:Could have something to do with the store mascot Primes.

It was necr0blivion's guess that lead me to that conclusion, so I can't take all the credit If it's true, I hope we:
1) See some new repaints
2) Every Drone Team gets released. I want my Dinobots!

I had always interpreted it as a G1-collector themed series on TT's part. Unless they're going to shoehorn it into G1 in the vein of Henkei Hotshot.
Well deduced JelZe....

I guess you're more in the know then I am, but I took Prime to be chracter names in this case. Especially since the only listed Prime toys in Japan are Micron Arms, and FE.

That sounds pretty convincing actually.
It might also be FOC stuff, but the PCC stuff sounds more convincing.

With the "Prime Mode" releases between Voyager and Leader prices, like the 5-packs originally were, plus Voyager Class is used for Scout-sized figure 2-packs, I'd say PCC is a pretty safe bet Besides, wouldn't FOC figures be (roughly) listed under their original US names?
By the by, the "EX" tag may mean these releases will be exclusives, possibly Toys 'R Us.

But they are fun builds.

I fully intend to cancel the arms microns I don't care about once we can see what's what.

You pre-orderd them without knowing what they are ?

Id like to be optimistic, but based on the last waves of united, we got a bunch of 5-7 year old figures repainted.

One could well ask what an Energon Sharkticon repaint and a rehash of a relatively lame not-a-planet Unicron mold have to do with United. The answer may be simply: "United" is a catch-all line; hence the name. Or maybe it's just "everything but movie".
Whatever the rationale, it's looking increasingly like TakaraTomy have run out of useful ammunition for this line. I'd like for the folks predicting a PCC rehash to be wrong. But they're probably right.

Good point...those were utter crap for the most part, too.
