Thanks to TFYuki we have our first look at the new box art for the upcoming Unite Warriors Lynxmaster! The picture is very small, but it shows off Lynxmaster standing tall and proud with Sky Lynx flying above him and the others driving on the streets behind him. The image is very small, but you can check out the box art down below, and let us know what you think in the comments section.

wonderful art, a small nitpick though, instead of the "Extreme" almost 45 degree angle tilt, I wish the pic would have been more upright for consistency.

Apparently the package artwork was based on Yuki's rough sketch?

I haven't seen that anywhere in fiction, the closest was the description of what each limb did for the Japanese Super Scrambles.

Bruticus used Vortex's rotors to slash Shockwave's sentinels; and Onslaught's cannons to shoot Shockwave into space. Always thought that scene was very cool. Well, the entire episode. :)

And Menasor uses Motormaster's ionizer sword.

Well I mean, that's just using physical attributes and weapons carried over. Lynx Master is shown using what are essentially the Autobots' super powers.


What's the difference? In the UW comic those super powers are also derived from the weapons that they carry (the hands and feet.)


Box art from Yuki, really small pic though --

Well, there's a difference between Onslaught's cannons doing what cannons do or Vortex' rotors doing what rotors do, and Ratchet's 'gun' having magical super duper healing powers.

Also niiiiiiiice.


..and immobilizer guns doing what immobilizer guns do; hologram-guns doing what hologram-guns do.. ;)

The guns that they use for their special abilities become Lynxmaster's hands and feet. Which is where the special rays are shown to come from. So it's the same thing to me.. Lynxmaster using Ratchet's repair gun and Bruticus using Vortex's blades. :lol:

But the Immobilizer, Force Fields, Holograms, and Healing are all supernatural magic abilities that no real world weapons can actually do. Rotor blades and cannons are ordinary technology common to the natural world. If Vortex's rotor could generation a giant energy shield via spinning, that would be a magic power. But his rotor is instead an ordinary rotor. What kinds of unique magic powers can any of the Combaticons do and that Bruticus can, in turn, use as well?

Is it Lynx King or Lynx Master? Or is this just Seibertron's Tumblr making a mistake?

Ah, but they aren't "really" magical or supernatural, in the contex of the fiction these special-abilities are technology, derived from the components that they carry on them.

Just as Onslaught's guns still work in Bruticus form, Wheeljack's gun still work in Lynxmaster mode.

To Cybertronians, they're tech, but to us, they're magic. Those abilities are meant to impress us, to make the characters who use them more special and appealing. Bruticus spinning a rotor or shooting a cannon is no more impressive than Springer spinning his own rotor or anyone with a cannon shooting their cannon. But no one else can make holograms but Hound. No one else can immobilize but Wheeljack. No one else can insta-heal but Ratchet. These abilities are uncommon and extraordinary. Rotors and cannons are ubiquitous and ordinary.

Again, if Vortex's rotor had the unique ability of spinning to generate an energy shield, or if is spun to shoot lightning bolts, or spun to create tornadoes, THAT would count as a superpower since no ordinary rotor can do that. But spinning his rotor just to spin it for general melee purposes is not special. Nor is shooting a pair of normal cannons.

We aren't Shockwave and his Sentinels (who were never impressive anyway).

Besides, Defensor can do the exact same thing with his own rotor. That alone negates anything special about Bruticus's rotor.

Not to mention there's Baldigus, who can do everything (and more) that Bruticus can.

But it is special, it has 4 blades. While you may think that isnt all that impressive, it is special enough that a lot of people decided to get UW Bruticus.

And yes, that post was in jest.

The point is that what's "special" or not is your opinion. I remember the first time I watched this episode at a friend's house (he had at least three episodes I didn't.) And I was really impressed with Bruticus' tricks (thinking woha, he can do that in combined mode??) far more than with holograms. And I still find it pretty clever now.

As far as I'm concerned it's the same scenario. Motormaster's ionizer sword, too. Soundwave even referred to it as one of Menasor's "special powers."

But the entire original point of this discussion was how Lynxmaster gets use of all the extraordinary superpowers of his components. Then you brought up Bruticus's use of Vortex's rotor and Onslaught's cannons as a comparison, when literally anyone with a rotor or a cannon can do that too. Baldigus alone can literally do everything that Bruticus can do and even more.

Hey wait a sec, isnt all this null and void since Optimus' team already did all this use of powers linked to combining thing before anyone else. The whole idea of their Masquerad combiner was that everyone used their powers to give the illusion that they were Motormaster.

Plus isnt the whole idea of Victorion that it can change its power set depending on which bots are used for certain limbs?

Not sure which side this is supporting...but just to clarify if SkyLynx had Aerialbot limbs...at that time LynxMaster could NOT produce holograms,self heal, or immobilize other transformers.


Also to WJ88's point-Yes that was what made Masquerade so cool. The specific abilites of each Autobot chosen made the illusion *nearly* flawless.

I dont mind taking the fall for you. Although as a guy who writes lists which aim to be factual at times, I must admit that writng the word "first" for anything TF related will only bring about a headache. You have no clue how hard it is to even reason out what counts as a triplechanger (you'd think it would be easy, but no).

If what we saw in "Masquerade" had been a real combiner, then yes that would have been a combiner making use of its components' unique superpowers (Windcharger's magentism and Mirage's illusions). But as it was, it was just five guys using those two powers to hold themselves together and look like a combiner without actually being one.

Just caught up with some of this news/rumors...

As much as I like (okay, love) G1 stuff,
I am a bazillion times more interested in a Decepticon version of Victorian than I am LynxMasterKing.
Although I REALLY REALLY dislike the idea of two helicopter figures, even if the heads are different. Wish somehow one would get switched out for the UW Blast Off mold.
Would love to see medium gray, black, a couple variations of purple (dark and medium, maybe red-violet), and small areas of lighter gray for the color scheme.

In this case (although still hypothetical) for me, it doesn't matter one bit who the characters involved are or their names... If they look badass, I may bite. Especially since I'm not sold on anything from TR (except maybe TT Blurr), and UW Abominus and Piranacon will be released in the year 20??.

I don't like that they stepped away from the naming conventions of the combiners (less an issue for the Japanese versions since they stepped away long ago), but names like Ultra Prime and Sky Reign don't work for me. Sky Reign is a cool name, but it should be something like Reignitor or something.

Magnificus.

A missed opportunity for both Sky Reign and Lynxmaster is that the former should have been named "Power Lynx" with the latter named "Super Lynx". :-B

What's pretty interesting is that TakaraTomy is breaking a trend with this release. Instead of using the US name with the Japanese name in kana, like ガーディアン Gādian (Guardian) vs. Defensor, or コンピューティコン Konpyūtikon (Computicon) vs. Computron, Lynx Master does not use "Sky Reign" as the English name. Instead it's the Japanese name. Vain much?

Convoy Grand Prime and Grand Galvatron didn't use "Ultra Prime"/"Optimus Maximus" or "Galvatronus" either. I'm guessing they consider the Japanese counterparts of these new combiners to be different from their Western counterparts, even if some of the differences are less than others.

What they do have in common is that they're all "new", meaning they have no vintage G1 Combiner counterpart to speak of.

No argument, but it has been debated quite a bit in pages past in both this thread and the CW thread. Simply put- Those that prefer original Hasbro toy are getting CW Bruticus, those that prefer original animated version are getting UW-07, oh and I just got me e-mail notice as well. because I live on the left coast however, it will probably take a few days longer to get mine. 8-)

Well no but like, even in terms of cartoon accuracy the brown used on Takara's Blast Off/Bruticus chest is too light. The one used on the collector coin's case is at the very least much closer.

So since I preordered Bruticus on anime export does that mean I will not be getting the coin?

Its what most fans think, including myself. That is why I still feel Takara's Blastoff doesnt totally pwn Hasbro's. Both companys got it wrong. In one its the alt mode and in the other, its the colour.

Thats right, you wont get the coin. The coin is only with the Hasbro Asia release and since you bought it from a Japanese first party retailer, you will get the Japanese release.

But people who bought it from BBTS wont get the coin either (they arent carrying the Asia release). You will only get the coin if you buy this version: http://www.robotkingdom.com/ttmeuw07.html

If its not written comes with coin it doesnt. They usually dont carry the ones with the coin when the standard release is available. Why make a whole seperate order from a different distributor only for the few customers who are willing to pay more for a coin? They do it for MPs, but not for these Of course, when only the coin option is available for them to carry (like Lynx King, Grand Galvatron ect) then of course they will carry it. But once again, in that case they would still only be dealing with one distributor since they are unable to import and stock the japanese version (which would sell for less).

Huh. I got a coin with my Grand Galavatron. (I don't remember if the site listed it coming with a coin.) I'll let y'all know when I get Bruticus in whether he has a coin. Like Chuckdawg, I'm waiting for a bit more Titans Returns stuff before shipping, particularly the Titan Masters wave 2.

Yeah, its like I wrote, they could only stock the releases of Grand Galvatron that came with the coin. That version wasnt exclusive (or limited) so thats the one everyone outside of japan got. Thats been the case since the begining of Unite Warriors. Your bruticus wont come with a coin unless you bought it from robot kingdom.
