If true, very cool. Some puzzling names there. Would Takara finally release Cybertron deluxe Unicron in their market? That's interesting.

[Screamfleet]

Thunder Megatron?

Primal?! Beast megatron?!

What's going on here? Maybe it's robot masters being redone. Axalon and "ark unicron" are very strange. I mean, are they ships, or what?

[fenrir72]

Who could Wingchanger be? Axalon, could he be pre Beastwars Optimus Primal? Thunder Megatron? Beast Megatron could be the Robotmaster T-rex. What about Ark Unicron? The deluxe tank Unicron?

[gavinfuzzy]

My guess


UN-23 Rodimus Convoy
Reissue henkei hot rod

UN-25 Thunder Megatron
"hero G2" Megs... the deluxe tank mold from classics.
(TFW 2005 reports this as Tank Megatron instead)

UN-27 Wing Changer & Decepticon Wipeout
(TFW 2005 reports this as windCHARGER instead, seems to fit better)
3600 yen is Voyager price, should be windcharger and his repaint, like frenzy and rumble.
TF wiki says wipeout is the name for the car that came with G1 trypticon


UN-28 Axalon
??? Im guessing skullgrin...

UN-29 Ark Unicron
Voyager price... Can't be Primus unleashed unicron, which was a deluxe

UN-30 Optimus Primal
Deluxe, Primus unleashed one?

UN-31 Beast Megatron
Deluxe, Primus unleashed one?

Looking forward to windcharger and maybe Axalon... whatever he is...

[Flux Convoy]

TF wiki says wipeout is the name for the car that came with G1 trypticon

G1 Trypticon didn't come with a car at all much less one named Wipeout. He came with Full Tilt and Brunt which were both tank like vehicles.
The Axalon is the name of the Maximal ship that crashed on Earth. I seriously doubt that's Skullgrin.

Full-Tlit isn't exactly what you'd call tank like.

[Flux Convoy]

Put his gun turret on him and he's exactly what I'd call tank like.

Whoops, mis-read the page, "Wipe-Out arrived on Earth with Trypticon, who had been sent to directly attack the Autobots' Headquarters, the Ark. "

Some people on TFW2005 think it may be a repaint of hubcap...

[fenrir72]

I have a bad feeling that Wingchanger and Wipeout might be a recolor/re-issue BB and Starscrem

[Flux Convoy]

Some people on TFW2005 think it may be a repaint of hubcap...

Windcharger/Tailgate maybe. We haven't gotten a Hubcap figure (to even be repainted) since G1.

I ment that wipe out could be a repaint of HFTD hubcap ... or it could be another windcharger repaint, like the frenzy/rumble united pack.

[Flux Convoy]

I'd completely blanked on HFTD Hubcap! He's a brilliant little guy. I'd like to see him in Decepticon colors, that'd be really cool.

[Sodan-1]

Seems strange that Takara would be releasing Hot Rod as a United figure just after they've re-released his Henkei version. I'm assuming it will have a different colour scheme, but it still strikes me as abit wasteful.

Can't wait to see what Warpath will look like. I've got Hasbro's figure but it's just never looked quite right for some reason. Haven't a clue who the rest could be. I'm trying to think of all the Generations figures that haven't had remolds announced yet.

Here's a thought: what if this UN-23 Rodimus Convoy is actually a Rodimus repaint of G2 Laser Optimus Prime? Rodimus does transform into a hulking truck in Transformers: Energon. Just a theory. Please don't hunt me down.

Just mock ups, but at least we know what molds they are using.

I'll pick up the Primal, Unicron, Windcharger and Wipeout, and maybe Axalon depending on the color scheme.

Well, I guess that settles it.

Still, Energon Sharkticon for the Axalon?

Axalon is Sharkticon? That's really gonna need to be a nice deco to get me to bite again. The rest, I kinda figured as much. Hero Megs, might end up replacing the green Classics version I already have for my G2 Botcon/Classics shelf. That Unicron is an odd mold. I'm curious to see what they do with it.

[KnightStrike]

The mock-ups of Windcharger and Wipeout look awesome. I'll be so glad to finally get a Windcharger for a reasonable price, unlike the RTS one that I have given up on ever finding. Glad the repaint wasn't G1 style repaint of Tailgate since I just started repainting a HFTD Hubcap to make a Tailgate.

[RhA]

FINALLY! Some cool news. Yay for a reissue of that Beast Megatron mold, purple tank Megs and Windcharger! Day is made!

Damn, Axalon looks absoluetly boss. May be just me, but he looks great DEFINABLY getting him. Kinda digged the mold but never owned it, somehow it just... works.

But seriously? Deluxe primus unleashed Unicron at Voyager price?

BW prime/megs look meh, rodimus seems like the BIS one .

Maybe Hero megs would compliment G2 prime? (Still yet to find him)

Windcharger/Wipeout looks too plain for $50... might have to settle on the Ebay prices for regular hasbro RTS one.

At least takara starts using molds from other lines in their CHURUG verse

[El Duque]

Courtesy of site sponsor Kapow Toys we now have mock ups, check them out below.

[Mkall]

Sharkticon? That's an unexpected choice.

I'll be getting the windcharger repaints though, and heck, even that Hero Megatron.

[El Duque]

I'll be getting the Windcharger set for the repaint, the Unicron since I never got it in the past, and the Hero Megatron. I'll be relying on iGear for my Sharkticon needs, and don't collect Beast era figures.
