Now Defensor is getting a brand new figure to increase his accuracy, most likely because there are no bikes to give a new head to for Groove.
At this point, I'd be amazed if Takara DOESN'T make a Space Shuttle Blast Off (versus Hasbro's Purple and Brown Slingshot) figure for Bruticus.

To be fair though there is no confirmation that it was Takara who gave us those wildrider and slingshot heads since Hasbro also released those very molds. It could have been Hasbro who designed those heads since they designed everything else combiner wars related with the exception of Groove (which is the only mold which was said to not be available (at retail price of course) overseas). Since they made their own mold with Groove it wouldnt surprise me they make their own with Blast Off. Here is hoping he isnt a takara tomy mall exclusive either, jacking up the price again.

Just to wet our appetite........again!
ETA?
If they arrive in the States in June, we'll get them in the mail in early July is my guess. Maybe just in time for the weekend of the 4th?

Inferencing the release date.
Superion end of June 2015
Menasor end of August
Defensor end of October (Tomy Mall)
all by 2 months interval.
Maybe for Devastar, end of December 2015?

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

A quick fix would be to get some brown putty or something like that and cover the mouth area and boom you get a G1 Blastoff head.
Would this idea work or am I just crazy?

No, you can put down the crazy pills. He does have big googly eyes like Blast Off.

From what I can tell, UW Devastar has no ID number, just "UW" so he may be released "out of sequence". And don't forget Ultra Prime/Optimus Maximus, he was also teased:
Knowing TakaraTomy, they'll likely use the Star Convoy-like Battle Core head for Prime.

Amiami is requesting for payment now. UW Superion and TAV Cosmos (I combined both)is now available for shipping.

Yup, hence why I have to wait for everything to be out to get the e-mail, should be very very soon. (also thats a nice pun there considering this thread)
