Some collectors have been having a difficult time picking between Hasbro's Generations and Takara's United for three new figures, Kup, Scourge and Wreck-Gar. United decided to mix things up by giving e-Hobby two exclusive three-packs, one for the Autobot and Decepticons. If you were hoping that the color schemes were different, you're out of luck as e-Hobby notified us that these three-packs would all have new paint jobs. Now finally we have photos to help you finalize or cancel your pre-orders on these '86 Movie themed sets! Thanks to Seibertron.com member gigasteam for the heads up.

The Autobot set contains Classics Rodimus, colored in clear blue and green metallics. Kup is mostly blue and teal in this 'battle-damaged' variant. The third member of this set is Scrap Heap, a brown and red version of the upcoming Wreck-Gar figure. He will also come with a new head, which was yet to be developed prior to the images being made. The Decepticon set features clear purple versions of Universe Galvatron and Cyclonus. Rounding out the set is a clear blue Scourge. This is meant to homage the scene where Galvatron's forces are created.

Of course, what would exclusive over seas repaints be without slick box art! Check out the images below! If you're in the mood for pre-ordering these sets, check out our various site sponsors: BigBadToyStore, TFsource, RobotKingdom or ToyArena

Love 'em all with the exception of Rodimus. He's so blue, he'd pass off for a replacement BotCon Sideburn. No offense to anyone out there.

Those are a freshly made jar of awesomesauce

They'll all be mine....

I'm still very much on the fence about both of these sets.
I like the Junkion, even if we can't see it's face, best. Then I like Kup: the battle damage suits him.
All the clear figures, however, don't really impress me that much. I don't have the Galvatron mold, but I haven't heard much good of it, to say the least. Cyclonus and Scourge are alright in thee colors, and of course they have great molds. Rodimus is alright, but I already own the 'Sons of Cybertron' clear Rodimus, so I don't really need another one, especially considering I don't won an original regular colored Rodimus.
Biggest problem is really the price... I'm sure these will all be very collectible in years to come, but the price is already pretty hefty as is.

Well this is going to be one greasy and expensive Junkion army building session. Not only will I be left with a bunch of Rodimus' and Kups, but this Junkion's head seems to have a Justin Bieber hair cut and Japanese text as eyes.... Oh wait.

One time around for United version at $30 each is enough for me. Dont get me wrong, these are awesome, but not at these prices, unless some other vendors sell them abit cheaper than BBTS which these guys are always pricey!

HotRod looks good as Blaze. Kup looks cross-eyed. Junkion looks like Muhammed. Want... but can't afford right now.

Sorry but for the price these sets cost I was expecting so much more. The only reason to buy them would be for the Junkion however I am not shelling out all the cash for it and 5 toys based on a couple seconds of footage from the G1 movie. The colors on Rodimus' chest are totally off, why green?!? However, if the color scheme on Kup is the same as the regular United Kup, I'll wait for that one.

I don't have the Galvatron mold, but I haven't heard much good of it, to say the least.

Hell will freeze over before I buy another Galvatron mold. How else do you explain why it was dropped from the Battle in Space set?

The Decepticon set is what's tempting to me. Although I love the blue Rodimus, I only like Kup and don't really see the point of the Junkion Warrior. Whom I'm sure we'll see a version of in whatever they'll be calling the Classics line locally. I don't really understand why he's even in the set instead of Wreck Gar or Blurr or even Ultra Magnus.

I'm a big Galvatron fan, so this is very tempting. And I've always felt the Sweeps could be more individualized than they were always shown to be. Ditto Cyclonus' Armada.

The price, however, is not very tempting. Still, it's better than iGear's Arcee figure, which I've been contemplating...

Blue Rodimus looks like delicious candy! They all look great to me, although I have to pass for now.
