Well at this point I wonder what new character will go with the Combaticons or Technobots when they get made?
I only ask because when Takara brings out the withheld character for "proper" configuration and online retailers follow suit, it'll be nice to know who's getting booted on to Galvatronus's team of castoffs.

Groove can totally use Alternity powers to control two auto-avatars at once, attaching to the same combiner twice, or two at once. Defensor DoubleGroove Formation!
I guess you can do that Hahahha. You can also make groove ride groove....
Hmm... just remember paying 100 bucks at BBTS for Subscription Service Scourge.. blahhhh
I knew it was a good idea to wait. Minus the fact I had no Idea of any proper scourge was ever going to be made again.
Since the Hasbro American prices are so cheap for these Combiners Wars toys. Can afford to buy both toy classes for CW Groove.

I'm still gonna get groove for my , he's a cool chest piece and gives defensor bulk on his chest. Same as blackjack on my menasor and powerglide on my Optimus, in which I have them connected to them in an easy custom form. So far as rook goes, inlike him and I'm gonna put him with alpha brovo for my Optimus Prime combiner

Congrats to Takara for creating and insisting on original G1 team members for there combiners. Since there made, Hasbro will probably release all of them eventually.
Think it's easy for anyone to speculate that Takara Unite Warriors deluxe Groove. Will get repurposed as CW Technobots Afterburner.
when i first heard of deluxe groove i thought the same thing maybe it will eventually be used as afterburner but looking at that picture of groove they would need to significantly have to retool it to look right

Cool! and a lot harder to say "no" to than I'd like, But if I can't get to him individually, I'm not too non-plussed if I miss him...
Aw heck, hopefully someone buys a bunch of Guardians and part them out...

Looking at some of the repurposed CW toys. Most are extensive retools. Given that, Think it's plausable to expect a CW deluxe groove repurposed into CW Afterburner.
Guess we'll know in a few weeks at Botcon or SDCC.

Nice designs though.
I think Groove just looks more detailed because it's in prototype form. The gray-scale really brings out the detail that often gets missed in a busy or more diversely-colored deco.
I'll be honest, I was hoping that Legends Armada Megatron turned out to be Armada Galvatron.

You just love your toilet don't you? Seriously, do you even take a crap in that toilet or are you busy using it for making fun of our glorious Alpha Bravo?

It's been long speculated, teased, and now finally confirmed. It is a completely new mold, and will complete the "Classic" feel of Defensor by giving newcomer Rook the boot.
Along with the Groove reveal, we also get to see our first glimpse of Transformers Adventures Powerglide, Cosmos, Drift, and a Steeljaw (with a very Prowl'esq deco).
Tired of reveals? We're almost done! Earlier today TFyuki showed us Legends G1 Megatron in his cardboard prison, and teased Aramada Megatron. But now he's in the flesh... err plastic! And alongside him is Black Convoy? He of course is a repaint of Reveal the Shield Laser Optimus Prime, and a version of him was already made by the Transformers Collectors Club.
*Phew*... take a deep breath and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!
My hunch was right on a not yet released mold for Groove. If only seibetron gives a "No-Prize"

"Groove is a free spirit, man. A full fuel tank and an open sky above him is all this chopper needs to mellow out and enjoy whatever good vibrations the open road brings his way. One relaxed, easy-going dude, Groove is also a bit of a loner in his soul. He doesn't make a lot of attachments to others, preferring the freedom of an empty highway, but he is always sure to be there with the love when his Protectobot teammates need his help. Groove doesn't like combat or conflict in general, and is always ready to give peace a chance."
I'm glad he's back on the team.

Note: These two will be Tokyo Toy Show 2015 exclusives, so they're both special cases rather than ordinary figure releases.
And the police redeco of Steeljaw is named "Phantomjaw"/"Phantom Jaw"/whatever it will be parsed.

Think it's cool and weird having Seven CW team members to represent the Five man teams G1 Combiners.
Liked MMC's idea for the extra limb member. Where it became the back wings for Feral Rex. Would have liked the extra CW limb bot to become a set of wings or shoulder canons for the combiner.

Powerglide's head isn't tabbed all the way in, you can see the landing gear. How unlike Takara.
I like the painted circle on his head (cartoon-accurate.) He also has more whitish plastic whereas Hasbro used grey. Both look fine.
I don't like the RID insignia though, it looks like he's waiting for a website to load. Wonder why they stuck him, Cosmos and the Insecticons in the TAV line instead of Legeneds.
