Remember back when there was talk of Transformers Reveal the Shield Perceptor getting a Reflector repaint/remold, or how about that alternate head that was seen on Generations Warpath's instruction sheet? It looks like these might finally be seeing the light of day. Allspark user Meister79 has posted a solicitation with several interesting listings:

United Hardhead
United Reflecter
United Gremlock
United Shock Wave

There are alos a couple of previouly unheard of Transformres Prime Arms Micron figures listed:

AM-36 MMOG Thundertron (Massive Multiplayer Online Game?)
AM37 Preview Optimus Prime Re-do

What would "United Gremrock" and "United Shockwave" be? The Generations (FoC) Grimlock and Shockwave? Or something else?

Likely.

I'm guessing "MMOG Thundertron" will be the proper release of PRiD Thundertron as a Star Seeker. And "Preview Optimus Prime redo"... FE Optimus Prime for Arms Micron? Like they did with Megatron?

Likely.

I just noticed that they have "United Gremrock" priced at the same price point as other Deluxe figures on that list. Isn't Generations Grimlock a Voyager?

Yes, but Classics Grimlock is a Deluxe...

That shouldn't be the case as the FoC Shockwave is seeing his Takara release in the Arms Micron line.

I wonder if any of the remolds will ever see the light of day in North America. Or the Rumble/Frenzy mold, for that matter.

I've seen that 3rd party one which seems okay, but always wanted an official modern Reflector. Hopefully he gets his own new mold(s).

Comment by Stormrider Nov 2, 2012

Gremlock, eh? Is he Grimlock's cousin?

Not sure how I feel about getting Reflector. I am very interested in getting one of the robots that make up Reflector but a deluxe size seems a little large. Also the name should have been Viewfinder, Spyglass, or Spectro since Reflector was the camera.

More than likely he'll be a redeco of Perceptor since that was Hasbro's original plan all along.

Reflector is a go-getter for me. Hardhead.... Gimme some images, and we'll look into it.

I'm also curious about Grimlock's position. I'd argue he would likely be the FOC Voyager, but someone already pointed out he's priced as a Deluxe. Didn't Takara pull Classics Grimlock into United already?

Shockwave is interesting as well. His FOC toy is already being used in the Japan's Arms Micron line.

They used Classics Grimlock for Henkei! Henkei! Grimlock.

Man, a United Grimlock would look so awesome.

I know they released it in Japan sometime. Just wasn't quite sure which of their lines it was. Unless its a re-release or a slight redeco?

what currency are those SRPs in?

Wait, why are these listed as United figures when that line has more or less been converted into PCC via United EX and replaced by the Japanese Generations line?

Comment by KNM2012 Nov 2, 2012

All I can say is if "Hard Head" is a Headmaster and "Gremlock" looks more like his G1 counterpart, I will have at least two UNITED pieces in my collection. I swore that I'd buy anything that is an official (read: Takara Tomy) Headmaster figure, and need a Grimlock to cover the "exclusive" Supreme Commander portion of my collection. :-B

:-B

Now if Takara Tomy will consider either reissuing Skyfire or adding a Jetfire to UNITED, then I'll be happy with the lack of a proper background for this series. :lol:

:lol:

The official site still lists both United and United EX in the same section. It would seem logical to use:

- United for Classics up to Generations plus their repaints
- United EX for PCC
- Generations for FoC molds

Which leads me to believe United Grimlock is actually a re-release of Classics Grimlock, not the FoC one. They've done it before with Bumblebee and Rodimus.

What makes even more sense in response to this is Grimlock's newfound popularity, possibly contributing to an "Evolution of Grimlock" pack, similar to the three pack "Evolution of Bumblebee" we seen several years back.
