Takara Transformers Unite Warriors Computron and Technobots Teasers

Really liking the Rook remold, bot mode looks about the same as expected but alt mode is pretty different. Definitely getting both sets since they're shaping up to be quite different.

It's going to be a standard release so it's 15000 yen which would be about $135 in freedom bucks. If you import there will be discounts depending on which site you choose. Anime export will most likely have a 30% discount so it'll be around $95 but they typically sell out quick.

I thought we were supposed to see new hands and feet with Computron?

Both would cost you about 250$ shipped.

I dont need to mix and match anything, just take takara as this looks awesome! I already have the cosmos mold anyway and no need for fancy feet when that means the scramble city combiners dont all stand as tall.

Now we know 2 additonal things:

1: this comes out in august

2: afterburner is supposed to have that canopy windshiwld folded down

I dont think we lose whichever version we get as they all have new stuff and while takara might be the way to go I just want to see both before making up my choice. But regardles I dont think we'll need to mix and match too much.

Each figure has new guns based on their G1 guns. Even the Hasbro Scattershot and Afterburner don't include them.

Scattershot is also not the same as Hasbro's due to the retooling of Computron's chest and head (who knows if other changes exist).

For anyone on the fence about whether to go Hasbro or Takara on this, I'm leaning Takara.

I'm thinking that since 1) Hasbro's G2 Bruticus still uses the Firefly/Slingshot mold, and 2) Takara has now retooled shuttle blast off, that we actually may not see a Hasbro shuttle blast off release. So, since I already have Hasbro Bruticus (I really don't mind Blast Off as a jet), Going Takara for Computron at least gets me a version of the blast off mold which I don't have.

Welp, I guess I'm getting the UW version.

I hope two things about Nosecone:

1: The drill is removable, so Comp can have a drill hand.
2: He has Rook's nubs, so he can have a hulk hand and a giant drill (if it's removable).

Yes, they are. That's the only thing I don't like about this set.

To be fair though, CW Wheeljack has by far the closest vehicle mode to G1 Lightspeed out of all the available car molds in Combiner Wars...

G1 Lightspeed:

CW Breakdown Mold/Sunstreaker:


CW Streetwise/Prowl/Smokescreen Mold:
