United Wave 3 Detailed Images

My mind has swung in the other direction. Perceptor's robot mode looks awesome (minus the chrome) and while the vehicle mode looks goofy with the different finishes I still find it preferable to Hasbro's. Re-preordered! *sigh*

I kind of want the United Tracks to keep him company, but that's another $33 for a bit deeper/shinier finish and a little faction symbol.

Paint, too shiny! And does anybody think that on Perceptor the shade of red paint actually clashes with the shade of red plastic?

i still cant find these guys in the states. when are these guys suppose to come out in the states?!?!?!

To my knowledge the united line is for the UK? Not coming to the states.

Japan, sweetie. Japan.

Blurr is out in Generations, Perceptor and Wreck-Gar are out in Reveal the Shield but have yet to properly spread, and Kup is due out in Generations.

I really like United Wreck Gar. I like the RTS one as well though, and they've very different from each other. Enough to be different characters. Hmmm...? Might I double-dip on this one?

I think I'm hallucinating, because last time I checked, Hasbro's Perceptor did NOT have chrome on him... Am I hallucinating?!

In this wave :

Kup
I like United more than Generations - the metallic paint has been used too much by Takara Tomy (Scourge, Wheeljack didn't need it). but really completes Kup perfectly. Hasbro's is good too and very G1 movie-esque but I prefer United's with the extra colour. Prefer United.

Blurr
Stupid head aside, United wins again the various blue's make the figure look really cool. Some people may say that Blurr's paint job isn't similar enough to G1 Blurr so Hasbro's is better but the fact that he has that reject of a head from IDW means that this isn't a G1 Blurr so we shouldn't be rating him as such and United's paint job looks much better. Prefer United.

Perceptor
I don't see why United's figure is getting so much flak I think it looks great. Hasbro's version is good in robot mode but in vehicle mode United's is superior. Prefer United.

Wreck-Gar
Both versions have good points and bad points. The United silver face isn't good but the paint job on his body is very good as with Hasbro's. Prefer United.

My box of United Kup, Blurr, Perceptor and Wreck-Gar is coming tomorrow from Amazon Japan. Woo hoo!!

I agree I'm confused. The chest plate that flips open forward has chrome along the outer edge but the rotors (I'm sticking to that term) along the side his fists are not....WTF??

It's the reverse this time around: Hasbro Perceptor has the chrome, while TakaraTomy's doesn't. What are the odds?



Yes, that is Hasbro's.

Guess I am very few of the people who don't like all these United figures. No offense here, but United Wreck-Gar looks like a zombie. Must be the face.

Wreck Gar is so shiny; I can see the anonymous dude's reflection on his chest.
