In Takara-land, all continuities are one continuity.

So I'm gonna go with:

Cyclonus

Armada Sideways

Hook, Line, and Sinker

Heralds of Unicron unite to form a new body for their leader Galvatron after Megatron purged himself of the Galvatron spark.

Though just to play further, what if it's a toy or comic colored Galvatronus instead of an anime colored Galvatronus?

Not sure if this has been seen or mentioned elsewhere but @TFYuki has tweeted out yet another silhouette. Is this of interest?



Randy over at The Allspark (Seibertronian Powered Convoy) has made suggestions that this could be the TakaraTomy release of Galvatronus and offered up the recreated photo using the Hasbro moulds.

TakaraTomy designer Hisashi Yuki has tweeted out an image showing off an upcoming Unite Warriors release of what appears to be Galvatronus / Cyclonus combiner. What is interesting is it appears Takara has given him dedicated limbs of his own. Takara appears to be utilizing some of the molds that have yet to be utilized in any of TakaraTomy’s Unite Warriors teams. The left leg appears to be Rook (who isn’t in Takara’s Protectobots team), the right leg looks to be the Offroad mold (who isn’t in Takara’s Stunticons). Meanwhile the left arm appears to be Air Raid (could he utilize an unused alternate head) and the right arm that appears to be one of the Aerialbots (Air Raid, Skydive, or Fireflight?).

Seeing it made up like That Is interesting, b I think still offers no fresh clues about who the characters will be.

I'm hoping we get something cool for the limbs and Cyclonus is decoed very nicely.

If the fandom has the equivalent of a knighthood, this guy deserves it.

Japanese fans on different boards are wondeirng if this is takara's answer to complaints from colllectors that they were so far not getting the Rook, offroad or Cyclonus figures. Really puts things in perspective of how lucky we are. In japan, they needed to import those Hasbro exclusives at 40$ a piece. A lot were unhappy about that.

[RodimusRex]

G2 Combiner...? Hm.

But, hey, if we're thinking outside the box, what about...

Astro Squad?
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Astro_Squad

Another thought:

The feet are Autoroller Dirtbag and Roadblock
Upper body is Skyjack, Hooligan, and Space Case

The revealed head could be Black Starscream as King Starscream

Yeah, I mentioned a while back that it was interesting that TT hadn't released rook or offroad in the tav line - especially since they dumped the three legends figures into it; but everyone kinda blew off the thought - because: not G1, so japan wouldn't want it - but, they are just like us, they want these new figures too.

I don't know the prevalence of the sub-line, but I was a little surprised that TT didn't just paint offroad as ruckus and release him... They could've just painted rook up as someone, but now they don't have too.

And there is a difference to anyone who says 'japan is getting offroad via ironhide', they are two distinct entities, summed up by their affiliation and head sculpt, they are two different figures, and I much prefer not-ruckus to ironhide

Couldn't agree more. Offroad takes the cake... and eats it too.

I think they were both pistachio flavored. It would explain the green face.

[ZeroWolf]

Thing is, the fact they are even releasing the prime combiner at all is interesting considering how they treat the unite warriors line...Prime wasn't a combiner in G1...


Here's a redeco I would like to see, six-turbo...and reverse turbo for giggles since it was the all black chase version of six-turbo...

A deco like that is begging to be made from the stunticon team.

yeah, it was probably wild-riders cake, that would explain a lot

Well they have to break even on their end of designing them, and japan also wants these figures; besides, it's they never said that uw was strictly G1, they just chose to go a different route as far as the deco's, we've already seen that they plan to release some sort of galvatron, and he's as non-G1 as o/p and friends


They just choose to put extra time and effort into the combiners (devs, bigroove, supposed blast-off)

Tell that to the people who are expecting more g1 authenticity from them with regards to titan returns

Though I do wonder what would happen if Japan didn't make a new blast off.

Good thing we will never have to find out

G-whiners would whine all over the internet; I would have liked a new mold from hasbro, or a remolded quickslinger; but a space shuttle never made sense to me on a combat team, so I wouldn't mind

It's okay, he probably couldn't have dealt with being a repaint anyways

I dont mind having a space shuttle, but not because I am all pro G1. I just like having new molds and we dont get too many space shuttles. As original molds, the only space shuttle we have ever gotten were:

G1:

G1 Astrotrain
Blast Off / Shuttle Gunner / Movor
G1 Sky Lynx
Galaxy Shuttle
Mach
Blast Master & Phaser (the two robots combine to form a single vehicle)
Raker / Universe Storm Jet
Cosmo

Ever since G1:

Armada Jetfire
Classics Astrotrain
Payload

Its about time we get some more

Yeah, I would've loved it as a new mold, but I tend to keep the combiner sets together because they have similar proportions and look nice (aerialbot are all lean, etc.) so I would've been obliged to myself to do it, but I wouldn't have said no to a very overhauled quickslinger because he pairs well with vortex proportion-wise;

But you no longer have to fret as we are getting sentinel and (we'd better be getting) astrotrain, happy days are ahead

[Sabrblade]

Even though I'm wanting to get Takara's UW Bruticus instead of Hasbro's CW, I'm still going to get Hasbro CW Blast Off and put him with the Takara team.

Why, if I may ask? Seems strange to get the takara team and then just Blastoff to replace one.
