ETA February 2016?
This had better be a homerun full differing paint deco with chrome for TT to convince me to get this.

The cool thing about Takara's version of Ultra Prime/Optimus Maximus that we can tell from this teaser is that its limbs will not only be arranged in a different configuration from Hasbro's official configuration, but that Takara's configuration pays homage to Energon Optimus's Super Mode by placing each limb of a certain color where Energon Optimus's limbs of the same color were placed.
Right arm (orange/red) - Fire-1 - Ironhide
Left arm (white) - Copter-2 - Prowl
Right leg (yellow) - Digger-3 - Sunstreaker
Left leg (blue) - Submarine-4 - Ligier (Mirage)
This makes me real interested in what kind of deco the Optimus torso figure will have, and which standard robot mode headsculpt (regular or Battle Core) it will have.

So is this officially UW-05? or will another combiner be released in Japan before this one?

I'm glad they (seem) to be doing something special with the prime set, if they are going to deco them up like the super link prime set; it would really give it a reason to exist, and nicely set it apart from the hasbro version.

From the gaps in the silhouette, it looks like Ironhide will have G1-style pale grey underpants.
This intrigues me, as it notches the still-extremely-unlikely possibility of a good G1 Ironhide a little closer to reality.

Keep the wish list short, that way they'll have more time to develop proper Technobots.

It's hard to tell. Takara is almost certainly doing Bruticus at some point, as Yuki has teased on his twitter account, but I don't think there has been an official silhouette of Bruticus released yet. The silhouettes seem to closely precede the official announcements of each respective combiner so far, and in the order of announcement

I cant believe Takara wants to release their versions of these stupid Hasbro repaints, but not of cool repaints/retools like Generations Jihauxus or Nightbeat.
Re: Takara Transformers Unite Warriors Optimus Maximus Combiner Teaser Image

Maybe it has to do with popularity in their pop culture. Combiners have always been huge in Japan, so I can only imagine that superlink was really popular, so making a reference with this makes sense.

Also, as far as I know, neither Nightbeat nor Jihauxus appear in Japanese fiction (as opposed to Black Shadow, who IS getting released.

I like the fact that Takara is possibly doing a reference to superlink optimus. That is a pretty cool thing to do with it

Isn't Nightbeat just a lazy repaint?
Seriously? Maybe expect them in the TAV line.
