Set for release next month are four new figures from Takara's Transformers United toy line. They've updated their website with even more looks at the figures. Perceptor, Blurr, Kup and Wreck Gar take after their Hasbro predecessors, however like the usual, have variations in paint jobs. UN-15 Perceptor does not feature any chrome like Hasbro's version. UN-16 Blurr features deeper blues and no white, while UN-17 Kup features some metallic shine. Lastly, UN-18 Wreck Gar is flameless in robot mode, with bold red. Check out the update below!

I hope Scourge looks different though so he can be different from Hasbro Sweeps.

odd that Takara isnt shipping perceptor with the chrome, but the other paint apps are much better.
decisions, decisions, the rest are a landslide in Takara's favour.

I have Kup on preorder. That's the only one. I'm going to get every version of him. We haven't had a new Kup figure in 25 years 
Blurr looks great, but the united figures are too expensive to get all of them. They all look fantastic.

Hasbro's Blurr and Wreck-Gar look more appealing to me. Perceptor looks nice too, but I'm not a fan of flashy paint apps.

I don't know... that chest plate on Perceptor looks to be chrome unless it's just a shiny silver. If not it looks like I'll have to buy the RTS Perceptor for part swapping.

Parts-swapping the chrome can't be done.

All of these look good and better than hasbro i think. Perceptor has a deeper and richer red and really liking the white/beige trim around the wheel and track wheels in alt mode. Blurr, i have the hasbro version, so no need for United version, Kup, i will be buying 2: 1 from the united line for MISB and the other from hasbro for the igear heads, Wreck-gar i will buy United version and if the junkion comes from hasbro ill get 2 or 3 of them.

They actually listed Wreck-Gar riding himself as the gimmick 
Blurr has a different paint job on him, I like it better than the 3 tone stripe but the white also broke it up good on the US version, hmm.

That's not really true.
You could swap the arms below the bicep for a really easy switch or you could heat the pin and pull. It's quite easy but requires a bit of bravery and a steady hand.

Swapping the arms is doable, but then the paint won't match up. On the plus side of that, it won't affect vehicle mode since the arms fold underneath.
Heating the pin is pretty hardcore, and pretty much outside what I'm willing to do to customize my toys. I'd love to see someone try though.
