AWESOME! Even though he works better as an arm due to how sleeker he is, I love the way groove looks independently as a leg. The way the motorcycle windshield sits there is really nice.

Looks like Afterburner as an arm no?

BIG TIME!

My only pet peeve with Deluxe Groove are the visible hands in motorcycle mode.

That's just what I've been waiting for!
I've still yet to get Slignshot and Wildrider to complete my Hasbro and Superion and Menasor, but I'll definitely be all in for the Takara version of Defensor.

Though I'm going with hasbro for all the combiners, this is still super cool since this could be a first look at Afterburner! Think the mold looks fantastic, can't wait to see the paint job.

Moosey, are you also gonna try to get the web exclusive limbs or just the brick and mortar stuff?

Should it be noted that the Guardian shown is the "foreign color" edition, i.e. they're using the Hasbro Defensor as a stand-in?

While we have all been excited about the new Deluxe Groove mold that was just revealed, the same source for the images, Takratomymall, also has some fine print that might have been glossed over. Below is the rough translation of the statement:
It was verified that the lines in bold were not found in the listings for Unite Warriors Superion and Menasor. This means that unlike Wildrider and Slingshot, Hasbro will not be releasing their own version of this Deluxe Groove mold (as inferred from the text). This makes sense since they already have a Groove of their own, but of a different size. This does not mean that this mold will not be retooled in potential toys in the future, but it does seem that this particular Deluxe Groove will be a Japan exclusive, as it is said it will not be available overseas. So far, only Takara Tomy Mall have preorders for this Guardian set and it is unknown if other Japanese online retail sites will be offering him. Seibertron will strive to offer the latest developments on this. Do you interpret Takara's statement the same way? Make sure to discuss it in the Energon Pub.
Third in a series, "Unite Warriors" that focuses on popular coalescence warrior of Transformers, with Tomy mall limited sale, Protectobots coalescence warrior "guardian" appeared of Cybertron!
Hot spot five bodies of the Grey's Street Wise First Aid groove comes with, it can be transformed into three modes of robot mode Vehicle mode combined form respectively.
In all character domestic addition to become the first mold, "groove" is unobtainable overseas completely new mold product!

If he's available on amiami, I am ok. If Takara Tomy are making the set Takara Tomy Mall exclusive, then I will be PISSED! I guess that means if BBTS does sell this set, it will be at a significant markup due to how they will need a third party distributor to make the connection from Japan to America instead of bypassing the process and getting it directly from the vietnamese warehouse.

I can see this eventually becoming an online exclusive here in the states. Either way i can live with the legends version on Defensor's chest. Rook is an excellent limb anyways. 
side question. do any of you think that Takara will release any of the new combiner team members in their line or will they only be exclusive to the US?

To be honest,as much as I would like to have a bike as a limb, that is one hell of a huge bike. I mean think about it, a bike as big as an ambulance? They can keep that exclusive
