More than likely he'll be a redeco of Perceptor since that was Hasbro's original plan all along.

Reflector is a go-getter for me. Hardhead.... Gimme some images, and we'll look into it.

I'm also curious about Grimlock's position. I'd argue he would likely be the FOC Voyager, but someone already pointed out he's priced as a Deluxe. Didn't Takara pull Classics Grimlock into United already?

Shockwave is interesting as well. His FOC toy is already being used in the Japan's Arms Micron line.

They used Classics Grimlock for Henkei! Henkei! Grimlock.

I know they released it in Japan sometime. Just wasn't quite sure which of their lines it was. Unless its a re-release or a slight redeco?

Wait, why are these listed as United figures when that line has more or less been converted into PCC via United EX and replaced by the Japanese Generations line?

Weapon: Multi-Function Sword
All I can say is if "Hard Head" is a Headmaster and "Gremlock" looks more like his G1 counterpart, I will have at least two UNITED pieces in my collection. I swore that I'd buy anything that is an official (read: Takara Tomy) Headmaster figure, and need a Grimlock to cover the "exclusive" Supreme Commander portion of my collection. :-B

Now if Takara Tomy will consider either reissuing Skyfire or adding a Jetfire to UNITED, then I'll be happy with the lack of a proper background for this series. :lol:
MY TRANSFORMERS FANDOM:
- Only collecting all non-exclusives G1 reissues and Encore pieces.
- Only reading TRANSFORMERS ALL SPARK (a G1 reboot).

ENCORE COMPLETION: 10/24

OLDEST PIECE: Encore 03: Soundwave
NEWEST PIECE: Encore 23: Fortress Maximus

The official site still lists both United and United EX in the same section. It would seem logical to use:

- United for Classics up to Generations plus their repaints
- United EX for PCC
- Generations for FoC molds

Which leads me to believe United Grimlock is actually a re-release of Classics Grimlock, not the FoC one. They've done it before with Bumblebee and Rodimus.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

What makes even more sense in response to this is Grimlock's newfound popularity, possibly contributing to an "Evolution of Grimlock" pack, similar to the three pack "Evolution of Bumblebee" we seen several years back.
