Alright I think I got you now

'Course, that means I'd have both Hasbro CW Blast Off and Takara UW Blast Off on the same team at the same time.

It's not cw blast off, it's cw 'undercover' quickslinger

For me, it'd still be Blast Off.

It's his dlc skin 'infiltration mode', I mean, they wouldn't suspect a thing

Or maybe hasbro Blastoff is in "I gave prime my face even though I had no choice" mode

I got a way for the two Blast Offs to coexist together.

Care to share?

That'll work

Takara's will be the original, and Hasbro's will be "Blast Off GT".

Now that I think about it, maybe I can use that when it comes to all my movie Bumblebees and Primes. I have been using the whole Axiom Nexus" Idea to justify why my characters intermingle, but for similar characters I can maybe use this

[fenrir72]

Don't know if this was intentional with IH being Optimus' right arm.

Indeed it was. Though, not because of any relationship between Optimus and Ironhide (but it's a very happy coincidence ), but rather because Convoy Grand Prime's configuration is meant to pay homage to the Super Mode main configuration Energon Optimus Prime/Super Link Grand Convoy.

Orange/red right arm -- Fire-1 -- Ironhide
White left arm -- Copter-2/Gyro-2 -- Prowl
Yellow right leg -- Digger-3 -- Sunstreaker
Blue left leg -- Submarine-4 -- Mirage/Ligier

Must be, but the coincidence is sure uncanny. Iirc, in his bio, Jazz was Optimus' right hand 'bot in special ops while Prowl was into advisory. But old IH kinda like the "real" right hand/arm of Op as a whole in the TF lore.

Imagine the headaches the TransTech must have when GT Transformers from the BT World, or multiple same-named Alterity agents, come to town.

You should go hang out with "Jackpot the Third" (as the TransTech have labeled him).

I'm not sure they would let me in, being as how Primes are outlawed....

Pretty elite group. Gonna have to work for this one!

Back on topic: Unite Defensor still looks really plain, and I wonder if the Rook mold for " Unite Galvatronus" will have is hasbro head

I hope not, I liked it for one figure, but if I'm gonna spring for this set, they need new head sculpts and deco's

I honestly loved that head sculpt. That have been nailing it on the head (huehuehue) when it comes to the head sculpts on these guys

I was okay/indifferent towards it, I hope, though, that offroad keeps his head

Offroad had a scary looking head, like yellow devil possessed. it was cool and worked well for him

Fellow Seibertronian fenrir72 reports on new TFYuki images of the upcoming Takara Tomy Unite Warriors UW-05 Convoy Grand Prime, the Japanese box set featuring Ironhide, Mirage, Sunstreaker, Prowl and Voyager Optimus Prime, in its combined form - check them out below!

The "uncombined" form of Optimus Maximus part deux

Perpetrator of the image is the usual suspect.TFYuki-san.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Still like the hasbro colors better for the most part

[Hellscream9999]

I gotta say, I like the plastic used on streaker. I don't know if the hasbro's plastic is a more translucent color, or is thinner, or what, but I feel that TT's streaker has (much) less bleed-through of black compared to hasbro's; wonder why?

You noticed it too eh? The Hb version of Ss is kinda KO looking thin. Either TT used a different mix or painted it over.

Well, it's possible that the solid black plastic on hasbro's is so dark that it bleeds through the thin plastic, or, since hasbro's is a different shade, its light enough that the contrast in concert with the thinness leads to bleeding.

I'm just glad they didn't use paint and plastic for the yellow, since we all know how that ends

But TT's streakers' plastic is much nicer, but that an Ironhide's bull horn belt isn't enough for me to want it

Fellow Seibertronians fenrir72 and Cyberpath keep their optics firmly fixed on TFYuki's output on Twitter, and report back some additional Takara Tomy Unite Warriors images. These, mirrored below, include the UW-05 Grand Convoy team members, some more posed shots, comparisons for Optimus Prime in Hasbro and Takara decos, and single take of UW-04 Guardian (Defensor) - check them out!
