I'm still waiting to see UW Groove on Hasbro Defensor, with or without Legends Groove as a chestplate, and of course, the all Groove versions of both. Groove as all four limbs and a chestplate.

If no one does it first, I'll post a pic of leg Groove with Chest Groove on Hasbro Defensor. However, sorry, but my accountant will rip out something important in my chassis if I bought 4 UW Defensors...

Haha, totally understandable. I don't really expect anybody here to actually get four UW Defensors, especially for that purpose. At best, it's going to take some photoshop trickery.

There's one such pic that was posted several times in this thread previously:

Yes, I've seen that, but I'm looking for that with Legends Groove, and that plus legends groove on the Hasbro Hot Spot. Photoshop trickery may be necessary.

It's not great but here's an old one:

I saw that too. I've seen everything posted in this thread for the last few months.

This ain't good enough for you?





PS: this video shows me that it isnt the waist of bonecrusher and scavenger that were altered but the pegs that connect into them. They are now ratcheted.

I meant in English but this will hold me over for a little while. I want some opinions and stuff.

TFSource has given me notice that they recieved their stock, and they'll be processing my ship,ent soon!!!

[Hellscream9999]

Fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999 brings us a video review of the highly desired deluxe class Groove. This Groove was part of the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive Unite Warriors Defensor box-set.

While Takara did repaint two existing molds giving the figures new heads, for the Superion and Menasor gift sets, no one expected them to create an entirely new mold for Defensor. Well that's just what they did and Groove is a near perfect update of the G1 character. The transformation is simple yet effective, utilizing the same leg transformation as the Aerialbots. Hopefully Hasbro releases this figure domestically for collectors on a budget.

You can check out Hasbro's representation Here. And don't forget to sound off on how you think this figure turned out. Did it do the original figure justice? Or do you prefer your Defensor to have his motorcycles turn into armor instead of an arm?

[King Kuuga]

THAT is adorable. And look! It's the target audience, having fun, not caring about intricate articulation or hollowness. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me.

They're the kind that of videos hasbro need to make to advertise their stuff.

Grand Galvatron comic!!! - http://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810864769/






Takes place in the year 2021, ten years after Galvatron's death in the Arctic in The Headmasters cartoon.

Galvatron's soul isn't quite dead and takes possession of Cyclonus, upgrading Cyclonus's body in the process.

Unicron's remains are in the Triple Z Point, first seen in Beast Wars Neo.




Unicron still has Metroplex and Trypticon's eyes.

Unicron summons the deceased Armada Thrust, the deceased Prime Breakdown, and the long lost IDW Roller, reviving the former two and upgrading all three as well.

Starscream's ghost shows up (guess the new body Unicron gave him in season 3 didn't last, or he could have come from another point in time when he was still a ghost, we really need someone to translate this comic) and he gets upgraded too.

From a continuity standpoint, with this taking place after The Headmasters, for the pre-established JG1 timeline to still work, whatever plan that's being carried out in this comic has to ultimately fail and be undone, with Galvatron's soul needing to die and go back to the Arctic on Earth for Dark Nova to come along years later and revive him as Super Megatron.

Poor cyclonus having to put up with a talking head in his stomach

[munkimus prime]

The lore for Grand Galvatron is getting Interesting. It may of twisted my arm into getting this set.

[RAR]

There was an old Horror Movie about that.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

After Chuck's review, I'm still very satisfied with the legends Groove as chest armor. And I am also kinda creeped out by that Galvatron head in cyclonus' stomach. Cool looking comic though, and it does prove this is indeed IDW Roller.

[DedicatedGhostArt]

I think I saw Chromedome in the first page, for Primus' sake we need a Chromedome.

That Chromedome is the one from the headmaster anime, he's just there showing how galvatron "died". Still a chance for a titan returns cd though

I'm hoping for a MTMTE styled Chromedome from titans return. With the fact that the last 2 deluxes of wave 1 have not been revealed, I have hope he will be among the first

We need more IDW style Transformers in general. I love the Generations Wreckers and all of that. I hope Titans Return has more homages to IDW series and maybe even some more Wreckers. (Pyro, Guzzle, Perceptor, etc. I want more voyager Wreckers plz.)

Same here! I might get this. Curse you TT!!!!!!

So the color of the main body "Galvatronus" is testament to it's "ghost/spark" nature of Galvatron and not Galvatron II. So I assume after a big@ss smack down, Galvatron's spark will return back to his body and continue on with the events in Battlestars where he gets reformatted back to Super Megatron then somewhere down the road gets turned into galvatron II's beotch?

[Samsonator]

Pretty stoked. I just picked up my UW Devastator today.

[william-james88]

Resident Transformers Guru, Sabrblade, has been nice enough to not only share with us that the Unite Warriors Gran Galvatron comic is now available for viewing at Takartomymall but to also dissect the details for us and sum up all the interesting tidbits (after the images). This is very helpful because the comic is in Japanese. Enjoy!

[Sabrblade]

A few more tidbits from here:

- Galvatron kind of implies in the beginning that his plan is to see his "Grand Galvatron" plan come to fruition one way or another: so, basically this IS a version of the original Grand Galvatron thing. Huh.
- He and Cyclonus go to Unicron because Galvy's original plan is to remake Unicron's remains into a new body for himself... Except Unicron's still hanging around, and offers the other option to stop Galvy from turning him into a meat-puppet.
- Starscream shows up and pleads with them to give him a real body again. Unicron obliges... By giving him a half-real body... Because he says SS will just betray Galvatron again if he gets a fully-real body. Plus, this way Galvatron can make use of SS' ghosty abilities.
- Unicron tries to play this off like TFTM V2: "Now, go forth and conquer Cybertron... So that I can use it as a new body!" But Galvy pretty much shuts that down immediately with something resembling, "Good luck with that. Cybertron is MINE."
- Grand Galvatron appears to be fully-controlled by Galvy. Cyclonus is in control of himself the whole time... Just has Galvy's head there bossing him around.

[Shuttershock]

As cool as these picks were, I feel like this was a missed opportunity to have Hook, Line, Sinker and Sideways as minions/limbs, ESPECIALLY with the Unicron connection.

Sadly, Funpub and Botcon seemed to have already maxed out their supply of obscurity.
