Takara Transformers Unite Warriors UW 06 Grand Galvatron Revealed

Posted by william-james88 Dec 7, 2015 at 10:43pm CST 63,064 views
Ever since a very small picture surfaced online, fans have been speculating just which characters make up this elusive Galvatronus combiner. Did anyone get it completely right? No, but a few members were correctly pointed out. Now here is the full reveal.







Transformers News: Takara Transformers Unite Warriors UW 06 Grand Galvatron Revealed

UW 06 Grand Galvatron is made up of the following characters from random various parts of the Transformers fiction:

Tactician Cyclonus: a redeco of the Cyclonus with a metallic purple deco for robot mode and jet mode but a Gavtaron G1 toy deco for the torso.



Ghost Starscream: a redeco of the Skydive made entirely of clear plastic with a new head.



Curse Armada Thrust: a redeco of Air Raid with a new head.



Zombie War Break Down: a redeco of Offroad meant to be the zombified Prime Breakdown.



Wanda ring Wandering Roller: a redeco of Rook meant to be autobot Roller who wandered into the wrong dimension at the wrong time, as the fiction states on Takaratomymall.



This mish mash of a combiner does have it's own accompanying fiction which can be found in the toy's listing at Takaratomymall.

It is available for sale on the site tomorrow (December 8th) for ?16,200 and will be released April 30th 2016.

This is a Takaratomymall exclusive with no limits which means that anyone outside japan will be getting this combiner through an eventual Hasbro Asia release which your favourite online retailer will most likely be carrying. As tradition goes, that version will be slightly more expensive but also come with a coin, which this TTMall exclusive does not have. Be on the lookout on your favourite retailers for when the Hasbro Asia version will be available.

So, what do you think of this combiner. Are you excited or let down? Which figure do you like best? Is he worth the likely premium? Let us know on the boards!

So what does this mean? bbts and the like will get pre-orders up at a later date, or same time, but more expensive?

And yes, yes it is worth it... :-$

Man this thing is all over the board. Only one I'm WTF about is Roller, as he seems really out of place.

It's really neat, I like what they did with the molds and characters. Casting Silverbolt/Cyclonus's gun in translucent orange to emulate Galvatron's arm cannon was brilliant. But on the whole I have no need for this set. No disrespect to anybody who wants it, though.

That's a new head on Starscream as well, correct?

It means their preorder will go up when they can secure stock. I don't know how soon after UW Guardian's preorder went up that BBTS and co got their listings, but assume roughly the same amount of time.

Wandering roller? Oh. OH. I can only guess that the reason Takara included him in the set is either:

A. Takara knows something we don't about Roller.
or
B. Takara subscribes to the Roller is tarn theory.

Also, the bio states that his grudge and hatred over being abandoned was sensed by Unicron, which brought him to Cyclonus/galvatron's ghost. It's possible that Roller consented to being part of the combiner.

OH! Didn't he go into an exploding mine in the series premier, and never show up again? Maybe that's when his bio picks up...

This sets all kinds of crazy. I can't tell if it's just pure randomness or if it has a mad logic behind it all.
Does this count as a hint that Tarn is Roller?


Though I'm disappointed that Thrust appears to have a mouth. Granted I have a sneaking suspicion the head was designed with a different Thrust in mind...

And that makes 2 Takara-exclusive Prime Breakdowns.

that ghost starscream is an utter disappointment. Still, thrust and breakdown are cool.

This seems like the sort of mumbo-jumbo repainted combiner we should have gotten from hasbro, or funpub; as this is easily crazier than both mayhem maximus and quin tri-predacus combined :BOOM:

Never EVER in a million years would have guessed Roller (either one).

So from my terrible understanding of Japanese, here's a summary.

After Galvatron's death, Cyclonus was possessed by his spirit. Due to galvatron's rage and hatred and being an asshole, he reformated his/Cyclonis's body into a scramble combiner body. With the aid of Unicron's singularity and interdimensional powers, they are able to pluck warriors from the dark side of the force to be part of the Galvatronus combiner.

Starscream is partially physical and partially an energy being/Blue Jedi Ghost who is cooperating for unknown reasons.

Thrust was taken by Unicron postmortem, and miiiight plan to subvert Galvatron and take revenge on Unicron? My translation of this one was the worse

Breakdown was taken after Silas Breakdown's death, and his spark was returned to the carcass. His rage was so great not even death could stop him. He hopes if he continues to cooperate with Galvatron/Cyclonus Unicron will return him to his home dimension.

Roller is there due to his feelings of abadonment, causing a massive grudge against the autobots. Because of this, Roller is cooperating in order to get revenge against those who abandoned him. So it's MTMTE Roller after All Our Parlous Yesterdays.
