I just wanted to share an exerpt of an email I received from a Hasbro Malaysia representative for preorders of Takara Transformers United toys.
Lots of interesting stuff, in particular UN-22 Char. Char was the G1 Japanese name for Kup. So he is more or less confirmed. Furthermore, UN-19 is Ramble & Frenzy! UN-18 is Wheeljack!



Rejoice!

[Pretender Skywarp]

You might want to blur out those email addresses!! Great news, I see that Rumble and Frenzy are a two pack, must be a new mould...

As for Wheeljack, I would actually take a repaint of E-Downshift, I though they were pretty much spot on with that one.

[Tigertrack]

I actually wonder if the Gen Tracks mold will be repainted, alternately transformed, and given a new head to get Wheeljack.

As a great juice jug once said, "OHHH YEEAAAAH!!!"

[soundwave1994]

@ frenzy and rumble omg omg omg
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
wonder what they transform into
did i already say omg woo hoo

[Bullycon]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

This is a dream, isn't it?

[DevastaTTor]

I'll be disappointed if F/R are the WFC versions, but the probably will be. Oh well, least we're getting them.

Happy to hear about Wheeljack.

[starscream1017]

i really really hope its the wfc frenzy & rumble.
they need to do more wfc stuff.
the wfc line so far has been amazing.
hope they give us a wfc starscream.

Wishing no disprespect to the original poster, why would Hasbro be soliciting pre-orders for Takara products?

There are also a lot of missing numbers, who are TFU-13, 15, 20, 21, 24 & 25 and why aren't they on the list to be ordered?

Also TFU-19 (Frenzy and Rumble) are supposed to be released after TFU-22 (Kup/Char)?

Takara have never released out of numerical order to my knowledge.

All I'm saying is this brings more questions than it does answers

[Counterpunch]

Really glad there is confirmation on Kup. I've really grown to like him due to IDW's comics.

[LOST Cybertronian]

I've never played the game so I don't know what WFC Rumble/Frenzy look like. I can't wait for all of this.

Here are some pics


Frenzy



Rumble

Yes Frenzy is red and Rumble is Blue


Also laserbeak for anyone's enjoyment


Looking really foward to this series especially Kup, Frenzy and Rumble, Wheeljack, Tracks and Blurr.
It sorta appears generations is the "fans" toy line. Perhaps HasTak will jump aboard the fembot train and release some awesome fembots!

[Cyberstrike]

As for Wheeljack, I would actually take a repaint of E-Downshift, I though they were pretty much spot on with that one.

Actually Hasbro wouldn't even have to repaint it just re-issue it as Wheeljack.

[dkreed7]

Hope a wfc starscream is coming soon, cant wait for some pics of these tho

Kup - Awesome
Wheeljack - Awesome
Rumble/Frenzy - Also awesome.

I'm surprised no one's commented on the practice of releasing two repaints in the same box for more money. It's actually kinda genius.

Ready for some Transformers United preorders? Dying to get your hands on a shiny version of the rumored Kup, Rumble, Frenzy, or Wheeljack?

Site sponsor BigBadToyStore has got you covered. Preorders are open for the first 22 figures from the line!

Seibertron.com is your ultimate Transformers resource!

[Razorclaw0000]

I just preordered $700 worth of Transformers.

[Midnight_Fox]

I just preordered $700 worth of Transformers.

Nice. I only did Voyager Megs(cause I never got Classics or Henkei) and Frenzy and Rumble.

Who'd you go for?

All of them?!

I figure it's better to have a preorder now, and cancel it later when I see the deco isn't much different from Hasbro's. I definitely want the darker Universe Cyb Megs, and am strongly considering the gun-mode Megs. I really want to see the real versions of Drift, Straxus, and so on.

Here in Malaysia, Hasbro Malaysia is the sole distributor of the TRANSFORMERS brand, they import all Transformers toys, whether made by Hasbro or Takara. And they have been doing so for years. We get all our Masterpieces, Henkeis, Alternities, Disney Labels, etc from Hasbro Malaysia.
I can't answer your other questions with any kind of authority, but if you look at the item numbers in the first column, they are arranged in ascending order. I think the list is arranged according to that number rather than the toys' actual series number or release date.

YESSSSSSS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES *happy*

[Vectorshot]

Why do I get the feeling that Kup will be a repaint and retool of Perceptor?

[Mkall]

And I've preordered most of it. I'll probably cancel some as the Universe preorders come available (Universe Voyagers, where are you?), but it's just nice to know I have the figs if I need them.

[King Henrik]

repaint of preceptor is supposed to be reflector or one of the parts of him.

on another note who are

UN-16 Autobot Tobura
&
UN-19 Hoilgaru

???

*edit - nevermind saw somewhere tobura is likely wheeljack and holigaru is the reflector repaint of perceptor.
