Official Stock Images - Takara Transformers Unite Warriors Defensors, Groove and Protectobots

Groove's head sculpt is pretty ugly.

*drools* Got my Christmas wishlist sorted now (including Rook). All in all:

Superion: Hasbro
Menasor: Hasbro
Defensor: Takara

Any chance we'll see a Guard City?

wow. I don't really care about Groove, but that mold is awesome, and so much potential.

Is it bad to say I do not like this? The chest area has the extra paint yes, but it doesn't look good. Streetwise and First Aid don't look near as good as the Hasbro versions, Groove kinda looks funky here, funkier than his legends version, but Blades is alright, but not outstanding compared to Hasbro in my opinion, and Hot Spot really doesn't look different. I like the legends class Groove and deluxe Rook, so I think the Hasbro version is better for quality. This looks, in some cases little different and in others different but not exactly better.

For my money I'd say Hasbro's versions f'sho. Although, I really love that Groove. Not sure if it's cuz the Hasbro version is so awkward or what. That alt mode is pretty snazzy though.

So much adherence to show-accuracy on molds sculpted to be anything but show-accurate (barring Groove, that is).

Stunning. I was worried that Groove would look a little out of place, but it looks fantastic.

Everything is perfect, though I'm surprised that both Hasbro and Takara went with a blue head on Hotspot.

Agree. I was kind of hoping for a blackhead too. (Sounds funny)

Maybe on one of the subsequent repaints that don't have show accuracy to rely on? Gotta check up on the colors on the other, later versions.

Toy head was black, cartoon head was blue. Two versions = a possibility for both to be represented. S'all I was sayin.

Check out Groove's guns!
Nice design! Had to pre-order this, just couldn't miss out on him. Shame he isn't available separately though. IF Hasbro does him later, well...I'd kick myself more if I waited and was let down.
