MW-04 UFO, a very close resemblance to Universe 2.0 Legends Cosmos, is slated to be tagged as the fourth figure in the Mini Warrior line, with recent releases of MW-01 Spray and MW-02 Rager recently reported here on Seibertron.com. No other information, other than the picture has been furnished on the figure. Another question posed is: What will MW-03 be?

It looks a little too much like Hasbro's Classics release in bot mode to me but like i said. Some more pics will be needed. I'll more than likely buy em though.

I would agree with you accept for the Mini Bots. As a kid, I loved how small they were as toys and still had a big role in the show. I like bigger versions (Warpath and Windcharger for ex.) but these accurate, updated little guys are, IMO, spot on. BTW, look forward to finally meeting you at Botcon this year.

Oh we definatally gotta meet up and maybe have a couple beers. Im going with one of my friends from Miami who you met in 2010. As far as the mini-bots, wouldnt you agree they were all about scout size in the G1 cartoon ? They came up to Prime's chest level, not his knees as the toys portray. But they made great little pocket toys as a kid. I still got my first 2 mini-bots, Powerglide and Yellow Cliffjumper.

Upon closer inspection of the new Cosmos picture, I noticed the dumb astronaunt helmet. He is a robot that does not need oxygen. i hope it can be removed.

I like him overall. And I agree that a robot does not need an oxygen mask. But look at the alt mode, I think the bubble helmet works in that instance.
I'm still wondering where he stores the gun when in alt mode...

Yeah the space helmet works in UFO mode but only because they made the neck hole so large obviously to fit the helmet. I would have rather had a smaller neck hole with no helmet. Its kind of like Hasbro Seaspray with his diving mask and flippers, pointless.
As far the weapon storage, I dont think any of this series will have weapon storage.

But it's canon!
And the gun probably stows away underneath.
I am so getting this guy!

I actually kind of like the helmet, and thought of that same comic.
Posted by JRFitzpatrick7 on December 9th, 2011 @ 1:05am CST
...is the similarity to Universe Cosmos that he looks like Cosmos?
Differences include:
Actual Hands,
Actual feet,
Elbows,
Dope looking cosmonaut helmet,
Weapon,
A much nicer silhouette(in my opinion)
Debate me!
Posted by noctorro on December 9th, 2011 @ 3:39am CST
I agree on that they are little, but the 3 look very good so far. I really hope they make an Optimus Prime who would be scout-sized to match the scale. Now that would be great.
Legends Optimus was a great figure in both modes (best g1 cartoon Prime representation in my opinion if it wasn't for MP10)
You can make it 3rd company persons, you have the technology!

The transparent helmet looks good in alt-mode, but I've gotta agree that it looks kind of daft in robot mode. Good looking figure none-the-less. Kind of looks like a halfway point between Universe Legends Cosmos and the deluxe Classics Cosmos concept art.
As for MW-03: part of me hopes that it's Pipes (get the inevitable repaint out of the way), but another part of me thinks it'd be cool if they saved all the repaints for a boxset at the end of the line.

They can count me in for one preorder! Already preordered Huffer and Seaspray. Oh, and whatever MW-03 is, they can count me in for one of those too.
Posted by MGrotusque on December 9th, 2011 @ 8:29am CST
His feet on the other hand seem a tad small under those massive lower legs for my liking but whatever.......he's still awesome and i'm a cosmos fan so i'm sold.

I disagree. First of all, as a kid, the mini-bots were great because you could stick a few in your pockets and carry them around with you. They were also easy to transform, which made them fun to play with.
They still have the same appeal today. While I no longer carry toys around in my pockets, I love having small transformers sitting on my desk at the office or on the coffee table at home, to pick up and fiddle with at any time. It's fun and satisfying to be able to quickly transform them back and forth.
And the lower price point is appealing to someone like me who has to also worry about things like mortgage payments, utility bills, house repairs, an upcoming wedding, etc.

Robots also don't need faces, fingers, or handheld weapons. There's no reason they have to look like humans, with two arms and two legs. And they CERTAINLY don't need noses.

I know the minibot scale isn't popular, but I can dig it when they're fully articulated like this. It sort of pulls the whole scale thing together for me. I never really swallowed the whole "disguise" angle (faction symbols in plain view, people), but on Cybertron it was always treated as a functional angle and that makes more sense. That means Cyberton has tiny little bots who didn't opt to compliment bigger bots, they chose to turn into what suits them. Yeah, you have cars a deluxe could use as skates, get over it.
But even if you don't jive with that vision, Cosmos still works. C'mon, he said nuts to blending in before it was cool. And I don't think they ever explain why he even has that form.
Posted by cannonfodder4000 on December 9th, 2011 @ 9:54am CST
This looks like a Cosmos who's done with fighting Decepticons, instead, devoting all of his time to beating up aliens, bad guy aliens whose names start with Z.

Even if it is comic accurate, the concept of the space helmet is too "human" for me. Lets just give Seaspray scuba tanks, Perceptor glasses, Sunstreaker a vanity mirror, Blot a diaper, and Grimlock a dunce cap while were at it.

Yeah I cringe everytime I see that episode. So with the overwhelming support for the Buzz Lightyear helmet, why stop with Cosmos ??? Maybe you guys can comission Junkion Blacksmith to make new head molds with the following:
Fire Chief hat for Inferno
Hardhat for Grapple
Police hat for Prowl
Aviator hat for Powerglide (oops they already did that in movie-verse)
Crocidile Dundee Hat for Outback
DJ Headphones for Blaster
Now you have the complete Transformers/Bob the Builder crossover line !
To Infinity and Beyond !!!!!!

*Thumps chest* A direct hit! :p Yeah, but even for me there are limits. I don't collect Legends either, with the exception of movie Scorponok. Yes, Trailbreaker has something, but it's not a proper representation for me.
