First Colour Images for Takara's Unite Warriors UW 07 Bruticus

Posted by william-james88 Feb 5, 2016 at 8:51am CST 34,465 views
So far, we only had monochrome images for Takara's Unite Warriors UW 07 Bruticus, but now, thanks to a heads up from Seibertrontians Decepticon-Sunstorm and MemphisR56, we have out very fist colour images.
While these are not clear and have a big Robot Kingdom watermark over them, we get a sense of what Takara is trying to accomplish, which is perfect show accuracy. The Sunbow character models are shown below for comparison and you can see that Takara is trying to replicate every part of it, even the colour coded feet. The combiner chest also has the Blastof reference and there are grey/silver combiner mode parts for Onslaught.

Since the aim is for the animation colours, there is a huge difference from the Hasbro version's colours which instead imitate the G1 toy (also shown below for comparison).

Onslaught is going to have a LOT of paint.

Though, those yellow details on his chest appear to be toy-accurate instead.

Yeah and I just realized that Hasbro's brawl had a show accurate colour and not a toy accurate one.

Damn this looks so good. The color matching feet I'm not too crazy about but I think that has to do with my slight O.C.D. and blast offs colors seem to be an odd choice since they're too orange to be accurate to anything. That being said I'm so glad I preordered this guy.

Ooooh. Yeah I think that's a deal breaker for me. Personally he is fugly as hell. Think I might cave and just get that PE set with the grey head and save some cash. Hasbros version is just for me.

I should of expected those colours but man, that's something, though blastoff appears to be too light to be based off the cartoon :-?

While recent events have put these out of my price range for the foreseeable future, I can still see how pretty they look.

(And I can dream of winning the lotto or euromillions...The rare times I play those)

Need clearer pics... but it looks glorious. Almost to make me forget Onslaughts flaws.

Vortex seems to have a two-color combiner peg like how Zombie War Breakdown does, with the top being dark gray and the bottom being light blue.

Swindle may as well. We can at least tell its coloured.

Wow.....I knew he'd be more cartoon accurate, since that's Takara's thing, but this.... :SICK:

Blast Off is almost Swindle levels of brown. If anything, he should be a lighter olive green. Maybe it's just the photography, but I'm not caring for ANY of their colors, and the color-matching feet don't look good to me, either. Looks like I'm canceling my pre-order, which sucks, because I REALLY wanted a shuttle-mode Blast Off.

I'm super excited. I've already got mine preordered at Kapow. He's due in may apparently.

It's an interesting choice for them to cast the hand foot guns in the same plastic as the main bodies for brawl and swindle. I wonder if it'll affect the tolerances at all.

I'm hoping Perfect Effect will do a repainted version of their bruticus set to match the new little feeties.

Edit: Also, doesn't this mark the only time we've had a Bruticus in the show colours EVER?

I've been wanting to get the Unite Warrior sets for some time, but other things (life) keep getting in the way. Anyway... I notice that BBTS seems to be one of the only sites that still have UW 1&2 (Superion & Menasor) still in stock. I was just wondering if they use a low stock indicator? I see they put some items on clearance they may be trying to get rid of, but I would think that with popular items they might have one ala Amazon. I just don't want it to be there today, and then suddenly gone tomorrow...

One thing you can try with BBTS and the like, is add them to your cart (as if you were going to buy them) then adjust the amounts. I think the max you can have of one item with BBTS is 24(?) so punch in a number like 50. It'll auto-adjust, and you'll be able to see that they have at least a certain amount left in stock ;)^

Damn, that looks good. The colours on Blast Off are kinda off but they do look good. Vortex looks so much better than the Hasbro version it's not even funny and even the chest looks great (though I would still prefer bogstandard silver).

Not sure about the colour coded feet though. This will definitely be a job for the Perfect Effect feet.

In any case, consider me on board...provided I can clear some space before pre-orders sell out. Oh well, it's a regular release anyway so it should be fairly easy to get on the aftermarket like UW Superion...right?

So much better Takara !!!

Damn the Hasbro version sucks. I honestly believe Hasbro picks crappy colors on purpose to continue to justify Takaras existence as the "Premium" deco company.

Hasbro's job is to make the collectors puke... :SICK:

Takara's job is to come and save the day... :DANCE: (for a price)

I dunno delta, Superion didn't have a unique exclusive mold.

Defensor did, but he was a shared exclusive.

Theres not really an aftermarket precedent for that situation on a full retail release.
