I'll remember that when I look at the reason why they reissued those figures. But it also does not explain why the list has every Generations/Fall of Cybertron figure being listed as a UNITED figure.
Or did you not mention that on the fanpage I found you tied to?![]()
Oh, and please note that I respect Jelze on account she listens to those who disagrees with her (HINT!)... And know that making said conclusion is a common thing to do. But do not use her as a means of being right. Thanks.
KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Doubt it. They haven't used a mold that old for United yet, as that was a 1996 Beast Wars mold redecoed for the 2003 Wal-Mart Dinobots release.
Yet you have given me so many reasons not to use that as a reliable fact.My point is that I hope they do not do it, as they reissued not only Cheetus and Dinobot in 2008, but also numerous Hasbro sets in a traditional manner they established in 1985. However, I am not going to rule them out on account that they are usable and may possibly be used as a "UNITED" (or something among those lines) version of Dinoforce.
And if they do... They better add Star Saber into the mix.

Agreed. But a green Warpath would make a perfect Treds. And theres no shortage of extra Warpaths to get a head and paint it...
Not all. Optmus and Jazz are still isted under "TG".KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:I'll remember that when I look at the reason why they reissued those figures. But it also does not explain why the list has every Generations/Fall of Cybertron figure being listed as a UNITED figure.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was giving reassurance based on what we've seen thus far. Though, looking at what Jelze later wrote, now I'm now so sure.KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Oh, and please note that I respect Jelze on account she listens to those who disagrees with her (HINT!)...

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Having a Starscream, Shockwave and Swindle under United does seem puzzling, for these reasons:
- The rest of the Combaticons are plain missing
- Optimus Prime and Jazz are properly listed under TG.
- After checking the ID numbers, they do not match the TG release order: Starscream is TG-09, Swindle is TG-06 (not even the first Combaticon in the list to boot) and Shockwave has yet to get one.
Color me crazy, but I suspect TakaraTomy is planning on restarting the United line again after EX is done, with repaints. They've used WfC molds as Cybertronian forms of G1 characters, and I have a feeling they're planning the same approach for Shockwave. Would be a first to use the same mold for two separate continuities, however I wouldn't rule it out. Remember, the games were never released in Japan.

By George, I think you've got it! Generations for Japan and United for Asia helps this make a lot more sense.KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:But yeah... Originally, I was thinking that it might be a typo. But now I am thinking that this is not a Japanese listing, but one for their Asian market. Because it would make more sense rebooting the franchise there than them doing two lines that contain the same figures in Japan. Especially since they turned Ultra Magnus into a Chinese market exclusive for that line.
Got a link? I think I may have an idea what this might be, but I'll need to see to be sure.KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The what?![]()

Must be your evil clone. Because I came across a site with somebody posting Transformers related news with a name similar or the same as yours.And even then, I am concluding that UNITED will become an Asian market release. (Also, when I wrote that, my laptop was being a jerk. So some stuff I was writing to another got mixed in with that response.

Though, I have a question I'm hoping that maybe you could answer. When TakaraTomy released their version of Ultra Magnus, was there a "Classics" version for Asia and a "United" version for Japan (with both having the same deco), or just a "United" version for Asia?

Sabrblade wrote::shock: Dudes (and dudettes)! Just thought of something.
What if this "United Grimlock, which is at the Deluxe class price, isn't a redeco of Classics Grimlock... but instead a redeco... of Universe (2008) Grimlock... as BW Dinobot?!

It was never releases at retail here, but sold through specific collector shops recognize on the "Transformer Asia" site. All these collector shops would import the regular United stuff anyways, why the need for an exclusive.
Basically, I think Generations is strictly FOC, and will have a different packing from the current United stuff.
Back in Cybertron Con, I asked if United had ended. The response was "United has not ended.
