I'm fine with Drag Stripe being yellow and orange instead of yellow and purple, but something about Breakdown's shade of off-white and Wildrider's light gray chest don't look right to me (which for the latter is also odd since Break-Neck had a light gray chest too and I think it looks fine on him).
Well, that is his Japanese name. The others all kept their Hasbro names for Japan.Stuartmaximus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It's really only just Breakdown and Wildrider who looked underdetailed to me.

That would've been cool if they went with that name with this colour version of him!
DRAG STRIPE

The Unite Warriors Optimus Maximus appears to feature the same 4 molds of Sunstreaker, Ironhide, Prowl, and Mirage that was featured in Hasbro's version with CW Optimus Prime. Check out the image we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

Sabrblade wrote:The cool thing about Takara's version of Ultra Prime/Optimus Maximus that we can tell from this teaser is that its limbs will not only be arranged in a different configuration from Hasbro's official configuration, but that Takara's configuration pays homage to Energon Optimus's Super Mode by placing each limb of a certain color where Energon Optimus's limbs of the same color were placed.
Right arm (orange/red) - Fire-1 - Ironhide
Left arm (white) - Copter-2 - Prowl
Right leg (yellow) - Digger-3 - Sunstreaker
Left leg (blue) - Submarine-4 - Ligier (Mirage)
This makes me real interested in what kind of deco the Optimus torso figure will have, and which standard robot mode headsculpt (regular or Battle Core) it will have.

Easy Tiger wrote:From the gaps in the silhouette, it looks like Ironhide will have G1-style pale grey underpants.
This intrigues me, as it notches the still-extremely-unlikely possibility of a good G1 Ironhide a little closer to reality.

Isn't Nightbeat just a lazy repaint?Seriously? Maybe expect them in the TAV line.

there is a point. Nightbeat had a new head and paint job and that was it. i love the figure but it wasn't a big retool.

No, X is saying TT should be ashamed of releasing these lazy remolds that serve a purpose, when they should be releasing lazy remolds that don't
