Counting on Perfect Effect to release an upgrade here...

Me too. But if it never happens, a simple mis-transformation can do wonders

There upgrade will be a set of permanent connectors to attach to the toys that prohibit them from ever again separating from combined gestalt mode. With a bonus scorpion gun robo.

Boom! Titan class Action Master Devastator!

Or just keeping him in regular bot mode! This guy doesn't have to be a combiner if I don't want him to be...

Personally, I'm hoping for a set of limbs (don't even care who) done in colors that look like they go with him. Failing that, standard bot mode will suffice!

Re-colored Nemesis limbs would be awesome here, just as blue/purple sweep/armada limbs would be awesome for Cyclonus. That's the genius of this line - repaint potential up the wazoo! Hopefully eHobby capitalizes on that.

Ahhh, now the size of that cleaver makes sense...

I like everything about Grand Scourge but the price.

You never know these days, just look at how NOT different both Springers are. I'm inclined to think it'll be signifigant enough of a difference based on their Superion and Menasor, but we'll all just have to wait and see.

Indeed!

Springer got a Japanese release?

Yep. I've got the JP versions of Springer and Blitzwing, and the Hasbro Sandstorm.

I kind of don't like the gold. The RID Laser Prime Scourge has the best evil-prime deco in my opinion.
Nemesis limbs would be great, Destructicons all over again!

Yup. Here.

Nope, it's a legitimate English word derived from the Latin word for six.

I'm still chasing the dragon that goes by the name humor. Maybe one day I will catch the bugger. But for now, just like collecting TFs, I will have to settle for just enjoying the hunt.

It is the hunt itself that is the most thrilling, is is not?

Nice, but repaints like this are what cause poor Motormaster to be grey

I'm not sure why, but from the first promo pics of Grand Scourge, I thought the yellow/gold was more neon green. I'd kinda like that a little more than what we've got, but still no cause to complain with the gold.

I got your joke. I think if you said Slash Fiction more people would've gotten it.

I wouldn't search for it. Slash fiction is the bane of every and any fandom.

OK, I just assumed it was porn-y.

Thanks to Hisashi Yuki via Twitter we get a TakaraTomy Transformers Unite Warriors Defensor Teaser! What is interesting about this silhouette is that the right leg of Defensor is a Groove shaped limb! Check out the image we've mirrored below and let us know! Do you see Groove here? Is that the ever popular fan mode of Rook with legends groove attached?






Remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf

I didn't think they'd actually make a deluxe groove considering they made him a legends class figure.

At least the inevitable amazon exclusive deluxe will have his original name

I think that is just the legends version attached, but a deluxe motorcycle is OK in my book!

Takara, show me more.

I don't think so, as Unite Warriors does not accommodate Legends Class add-ons, so the likes of Blackjack and Powerglide are released in Adventure instead, as new characters at times, like Runabout for Blackjack. Same goes for Groove, who's repurposed as Override.

The great significance to Deluxe Groove is, of course, his potential retool: Afterburner of the Technobots, of which Scattershot was found in a listing.

Defenitely deluxe groove because honestly the leg is a little too thin to be the groove combined with rook leg mode

Sorry, not into a giant out of scale motorcycle myself, the other vehicles are off scale enough as it is.

Well well, isn't that interesting. Looks like a new mold to me. I wonder if it will get the Wildrider/Slingshot treatment over here as well?

I certainly hope so (or at least that the Japanese version will be cheap). If not, it would still see use state-side (see my previous post).

Well, stuff me in a bag and call me Cracker Jacks. Takara, show us more of what your game is.

Maybe it might be a clue to what a future CW Afterburner might look like

Dude, you got credited for it. Click on your news credits.

I knew they'd pull this off right! While this practice is a little deceptive to consumers, I still think it's pretty brilliant. Kudos to them for doing this right.

Well, I haven't yet ordered any of the Protectobots yet, and I wouldn't mind having a Deluxe Groove to keep Defensor traditional, so...

Still getting Rook regardless. I find the new members just as satisfying (if not more) than the OG gangsters, and Rook nails it.

Geez, at this rate ALL the new guys are going to end up on team Galvatronus.

In the case of the Aerialbots and Stunticons it may have been, even then I think it's more of Hasbro not wanting too much redundancy in their lineups and Takara wanting to recreate the original teams. So Hasbro went along with making them as a way for fans to recreate the original teams while also making the teams diverse enough on the shelves.

In this case, it's not a matter of lack of diversity but some weird adherence to scale (despite Rook being huge compared to his team mates if they were in scale). So Groove was developed as a Legend to keep him as part of the team.

I think that this Deluxe Groove is a TakaraTomy only initiative to have the original Protectobots with the same roles as the originals. Hence why Legends Groove is Adventure Override and now we have a Deluxe Groove coming.

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.

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