Or rather, someone took note of the transliterations on TFWiki

Still, TakaraTomy went above and beyond with him, color me impressed. I would like him, if only I had Grand Scourge to go with him.

For those curious:

Hot Spot/Onslaught: 9th use total, 5th for Onslaught
Vortex: 12th use
Brawl: 8th use
Rook/Swindle: 11th use total, 6th for Swindle
Blast Off/Strafe: 3rd use

Pretty sure LG-EX Black Convoy is the one more like meant to go with him, as Grand Scourge is a Unicron Trilogy character.

Or TFSS 1.0 Scourge. But they're so small...

[Kurona]

It probably won't be long 'til they unveil a Black Convoy repaint of the upcoming TR Voyager Optimus, so...

But since Grand Scourge is a dimension hopper it doesn't really matter (even if it isn't the same character). Besides, LG and UW don't really share stories, but we have seen Grand Scourge interfere with UW.

I guess what we really need is a new UW Battle Convoy.

The supposed Baldigus now available at 16000Y +++ Why not Battle Gear?

That looks gorgeous! I'm seriously considering getting this
But with this being a TT-Mal exclusive, I'm not really sure how expensive and hard to get this may be...

[Emerje]

More importantly why can't I pre-order this off TFSource or BBTS yet? Usually at the first inkling of a release they've got these up instantly. Not that I expect it to be a fast seller, just being impatient.

Easy to get, but expect him to be $175 like Megatronia.

They order from Hasbro Asia, so maybe HA hasn't opened up retailer orders yet.

I remember when BBTS would take orders on things that haven't even been confirmed yet. Funny how times have changed.

We have an update on the next Takara Tomy Unite Warriors set, the one repainting Bruticus and the Combaticons into Ruination - or as they will be known in the set: Baldigus! Takara Tomy Mall has uploaded new images for the whole team, including single robot and vehicle modes for Dangar/Armorhide, Greejeeper/Rollbar, Shuttler/Movor, Heptar/Rotor, and Dolrailer/Mega Octane, plus their combined form. Check them all out below, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

Woah there, is that CW Computron's Hands and Feet? TakaraTomy is making good use of them. And with the Combaticon's team as well. I was thinking of getting UW Bruticus but this guy beats it to oblivion.

Yep, Computron's hands and feet, as well as extra guns from Devastator and Computicon. And they reversed Blast Off's torso direction for Shuttler so his belly is the shuttle underside, like on the original Blast off and Shuttler/Movor toys and the show. Lots of attention to detail here.

Oh yeah, they did... I was wondering why Movor was looking a billion times better than Blast Off, better colours aside.

[Emerje]

It just occurred to me the kind of firepower Dolrailer could be packing. Since his back canons are meant to be hand guns themselves you could really give him two double length guns, one for each hand. Likewise Baldigus could have a triple length gun by connecting his two new guns to one of his back guns. Crazy. Now I wish Onslaught came with extra guns, but then again, Baldigus doesn't have a Shockwave.

Can't wait to stick this guy up against Omega Prime.

[Insurgent]

Oh my. Oh my that does look good.


May have to see if I can get my Blast off transformed that way.

[Sigma Magnus]

I honestly didn't think Takara would use the CW Computron hands and feet...and, I don't think they look very good in the first picture (sky configuration?). They look much better in the second (land configuration? ), so if I'm able to get this guy, I'll keep him like that.

[Bumblebee21]

theres the computron feet from hasbro

[YoungPrime]

I don't know a lot about "Ruination" but I like the way this set looks. Plus I wouldn't have to shell out another 30 bucks for the PE arms and feet.

So if this set isn't well North of $134.00 (UW Computron's price) on BBTS like that Megatronia set, then I may invest.

It will be the same price as megatromia. The listing already confirms thst he will be 160$ in Japan.

Yeah, I was wondering why more people hadn't done that as of yet. Although I don't own one personally, I did get the chance to inspect one before I sold it. ( I prefer the more 'realistic' Hasbro Blast Off, especially since his strange head isn't visible in arm mode)

[mechanicoid]

Of all the Unite Warriors sets released, this might get me to bite. Now if Takara would dig even deeper and give us a Battle Gaia repaint...

[Hydrargyrus]

So... why exactly does the big guy have an upside-down G2 Autobot logo? (Not as in cartoon/toy accuracy, As in, why in the first place?)

[william-james88]

Because the bad guys considered themselves anti autobots, an offshoot of the cybertronians and thus reversed the symbol to show their rebellion.

For those wondering about price ... Premium Collectables have him up for pre-order, $150AU.
