After the Figure King scans showing the retooling happening to Rook/Wandering Roller to make the figure into the Takara Tomy Transformers Unite Warriors Nosecone (part of the UW08 Computron/Computicon set), we now have actual images via TFYuki of the finished thing, including an over the top, multi-drill mode. Check them out mirrored below!

I guess you could say the comparisons between Rook and Nosecone really drills home just how extensive of a retool Nosecone is!

I'm not proud of this one.

Can't wait to get Computron. That's one heck of a remold too. Two bad they couldn't give his hands the Hound treatment. An awesome figure nonetheless.

Seibertronian and Twincaster Razorclaw0000 dropped by to share with us a tweet from Takara Tomy Mall about their upcoming Skyreign-based set in the Transformers Unite Warriors line - as UW-EX - which will be fully announced at the upcoming Tokyo Toy Show. Pre-orders will open on June 12th, and limited (for now) to the online retailer. Check out the banner image below, showing not much more than the last time we saw a teaser for the set.

Ah, an EX release...limited numbers. Great. Oh well, I probably wouldn't have been able to get it anyway. Computron takes priority.

If pre-orders open on the 12th, does that mean they're likely to actually show what the set looks like on the 12th or before then? Hard to sell pre-orders when all you have is a silhouette...

For This yea but not always. Bruticus was just a grainy prototype when preorders went up but that could have just Been online retailers jumping the gun because they knew they were going to sell him.

It says it will be revealed June 9th (6/9) so for sure we will see it before its preorderable. However, it should be noted that the japan exclusive preorder will be the 12th. If its an exclusive, then maybe it will only be for Japanese locals and thus we have to wait for western preorders which may go up at a later date.

I am in the same boat as Sigma Magnus. The fact that this is an EX release makes it much easier for me to feel less tempted in getting it. Thats a great excuse to ignore it :) It is also fitting since Ratchet was an exclusive in the US as well.

I'm pretty excited to see their decos for the limbs here. I still think the Hasbro versions are the four weakest CW deluxes (though Smokescreen is pretty nice).

I'm still hoping it will be an insane set like Grand Galvatron with new limbs but either or. I still can't find a Skylinx and I don't really want to buy this unless it's got new limbs but if my luck doesn't change with finding one I might have to go this route.

I think that I will have to get the set for 2 reasons: inability to find Sky Lynx and, IF Ratchet is in this set, it may be my only way of getting a painted Ratchet. In addition, if I'm going to pay at least $100 for Ratchet, I might as well get a painted one plus 4 other bots. Who knows, maybe they could do some other repaints Hoist and Red Alert.

I doubt the other 'bots will be changed from Wheeljack, Hound and Trailbreaker mostly because those heads are unique tooling Takara hasn't released yet. And those heads on those bodies are kinda hard to colour into any other pre-existing autobots, unless they went G2 on us...

I hope they go G2 on us

The full silhouette seemed to feature the Hasbro limb-molds (maybe with the First Aid mold subbing in for one of the limbs? Been a while), no jets or tanks, so this one's probably not Liokaiser.

I agree. I don't see them doing that without first using the Skylinx mold for his original interpretation, not to mention the only shattered glass theme Takara has ever done was for that ehobby blaster and Soundwave set.

Heads don't matter, we're seeing that first hand with hasbro strafe and Takara strafe. Same size of ball joint but they're both doing a different head for their version of the character and yes they're using a different figure for it but doesn't mean they couldn't have used eithers. We now know there is some kind of communication with both since they both using the same retooling for afterburn.

I guess we'll find out late nest week though!

Your not the only one. Many have reported not seeing Skylynx (you are free to let us know if thats still the case). And he only had a sparse release in Canada which tells me that he has yet to reach saturation in North America. And thats interesting since 6 months ago people simply could not believe that there would be a huge gap between Skylynx being released and the titans return line that there just had to be other toys in between. But no, skylynx is the second wave of 2016 and he's still not easy to find. The gap between his release and onslaughts will be the same as the gap between him reaching saturation and the same thing happening with the TR line, which will be late summer like Hasbro said all along.

I remember 5 months ago when onslaught was rare and now he's shelf warming. I consider myself lucky because here in Iowa I have 2 toysrus, 9 targets, and 12 walmarts within 50 miles and am usually very lucky. I got the '84 limbs a month before mass sighting but yeah no luck with Skylinx. I still haven't found the powerglide redeco, night viper I think his name is and I really wanted to army build him.

Well he is getting a deco and becoming deathsauras for a box set of Liokaizer. It's totally weird and might be your taste.

Takes doesn't really stray away from G1 color schemes when it's mean to be a G1 character and that's what Skylynx is. Personally I think they go a little too far with trying to be accurate. Menasor is an example of that for me personally. Same as Bruticus, I think takaras is hideous. I know there's an audience for it but sometimes changing it up and adding some new colors are better IMO

Yeah... my problem can be that they try to apply the cartoon-accurate colours to toys that are really not designed to go well with them, leading to some pretty bad results like Drag Strip or Onslaught IMO.
That said... sometimes they can do very good. I especially like what they did with Motormaster; going with making him the colours of the cab rather than Hasbro's take of making him the colours of the cab and the trailer. It's an interesting difference made especially better by the fact neither is necessarily a better choice; it's completely taste-dependant. It's mostly new tooling that can really win me over.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Takara's Sky Reign looks like, hopefully the full reveal will come shortly before the pre-orders start. If the set does include Ratchet I'll definitely buy it, though I already have the Hasbro version of Wheeljack (not a good retool on its own, but the Reprolabels stickers save it).

So TT's Sky Reign is UW-EX, eh? Well, kinda figured they'd go that route with him, making him no part of the main UW line ;)

I wouldn't worry too too much about limited numbers due to him being an "exclusive". Remember Guardian and Convoy Grand Prime who were exclusive to TakaraTomy Mall as well? Rather, he's more like e-Hobby's UW-EX Grand Scourge, a side release with no real impact on the main fiction and more suited for side stories, like the one with Deadlock.

I dont know, its a bit screwey. Defensor had very limited numbers, but Hasbro Asia then made a ton of him and thats the version everyone in the west has and it didnt cost that much more than others at importers. But this guy is an exclusive tied to an event it seems. He's not part of the line but something exclusive on the side. So I dont know how that will work and if Hasbro Asia can make their own version for the west. They didnt for Rhinox and the gang who are convention exclusives also labelled with EX in their name. So I dont know.

I really cant guess how hard to get or expensive it will be. I doubt it will be at the same level as the Hero Ex exclusives (Dogfight and Runamuck).

I don't think he's tied to an event since he has preorders going up on TTMall. He's going to be revealed at an event but that's it. Don't forget that grand scourge was designated UW EX but wasn't a convention exclusive.

Smart man! Yes, this would be more like Scourge. But that guy was tied to a licensee, so I dont know what this guy is tied to. I guess we'll see. But if Grand Scourge is any indication, this guy will be pricier than the likes of Defensor or Grand Galvatron.

Well since it seems like they're keeping it in house as opposed to letting a partner do it I'm hoping it's not too crazy. I want ratchet but my money is not unlimited :lol:

I don't understand TT reasoning for making this an EX, but oh well. Also just to make sure...the only other UW EX so far has been Grand Scourge correct? or did I miss something?

I was hoping TT's Sky reign would be pretty much the same as CW. If they made an exclusive ratchet, that would be ok, because then I could get CW Smokescreen now while he is easy to find.

I've done pretty much the opposite of what all the "May Mayhem"-ers are doing ;) . Instead of waiting for Hasbro to release the proper Deluxes. I just get the UW set, then get the CW "oddballs" (Alpha Bravo, Off Road, and Rook so far) as individuals to complete my sets. ;)^

To explain to the OP, TakaraTomy's Sky Reign has both the Offroad and First Aid molds: one should be Trailbreaker (or Hoist, should they be cheeky), the other is assumed to be Ratchet due to fact both heads have not been used yet by TakaraTomy. Smokescreen is not part of the set, because he's a straight redeco and they tend to avoid those for release.

Sunday is fun day for TakaraTomy mogul TFYuki! This morning he takes to Twitter (as he does) with an in-package shot of Transformers Unite Warriors UW-07 Bruticus. Not only that, but Bruticus can't seem to wait to get.... Bruticus out of said box! The Decepticon Combaticons are slated for release this month, do you have one coming your way?

I don't like the lighter brown on Blast-off, hopefully it will grow on me. I liked the darker brown a lot more, don't understand why they changed that. The other gripe is that they didn't bother to add a gun for Onslaught/Bruticus, i don't think it would've been too much to ask for. I will still get it though.

It'll most likely be the same as jet blast off deco wise, which would look a lot better. Luckily for me I don't see the problem with jet blast off, so I don't care if they do or don't bring over the UW mold

I doubt that. So far, the plastic colour for all releases of bonus members was the same no? If ever we get shuttle Blastoff, there wont be much difference from the Takara one, I think. However, unlike with Groove, I am not holding out hope Hasbro brings over Blastoff. Plus, with the prices people have been charging and paying for deluxe Groove, if you want a Bruticus with a shuttle Blastoff, I dont understand why people dont just get the UW version. Unlike Defensor, this isnt an exclusive and it only costs 25$ more than getting the Hasbro version of Bruticus.

If they do hopefully they change his colours. Takara's are terrible...

It'll most likely be the same as jet blast off deco wise, which would look a lot better. Luckily for me I don't see the problem with jet blast off, so I don't care if they do or don't bring over the UW mold

I doubt that. So far, the plastic colour for all releases of bonus members was the same no? If ever we get shuttle Blastoff, there wont be much difference from the Takara one, I think. However, unlike with Groove, I am not holding out hope Hasbro brings over Blastoff. Plus, with the prices people have been charging and paying for deluxe Groove, if you want a Bruticus with a shuttle Blastoff, I dont understand why people dont just get the UW version. Unlike Defensor, this isnt an exclusive and it only costs 25$ more than getting the Hasbro version of Bruticus.

Quickslinger and Wildrider were in different colours, but since Groove was in the same colours aside from like.... The screwheads, I think he'd be the same colours. Just holding onto vain hope.
To answer your second question, mostly because unlike Defensor the colours on Bruticus are vastly different to Hasbro's - more than any other release. And to many people's eye - including mine - it's kind of horrific. So a lot of people would appreciate being able to get a shuttle blast off alone for their Hasbro Bruticus they may prefer the colours on.

He looks good, but for the money im def sticking with my hasbro, this is one of those rare cases where takara version isnt miles ahead in terms of paint job over hasbros. For me anyway. Hes like 120 more to get Takara version in canada.
