Takara Transformers Unite Warriors Strafe Prototype Revealed

Now this one has me very unsure about this. I need to see the Hasbro version, but this one is just not sticking to me like Nosecone did. But it is still not bad by a long shot.

Hey Will: Now you can finish your spreadsheet!

Holy fucking shit Takara! That is fucking awesome! It's so fucking awesome I'll break the fucking swear filter!

Holy shit!
Holy shit!
Holy shit!
Holy shit!
Holy shit!

Seriously! That alt mode!

The only downside to this is I wish they'd done more with Lightspeed and Scattorshot.

Oh, I believe you!!

A little more to those 2 would have been nice, but at least with Scattershot we got the new chest and combiner head!

Also, I was literally watching TFYuki's twitter for almost a half hour waiting for that image. As soon as it showed, it was newsed. took only 4 minutes from him releasing the pic to me having it front paged

don't you dare anticipate cancelling that preorder. This is awesome! Computron has finally risen! I'm still unsure about this dude, but I feel confident that he will be awesome!

Now I really may need to get this one. Argh, this is making my wallet and my head hurt so much

Do you remember what I said about possibly making a Movor out of a backwards Blast Off? Seems a little more plausible now.

I was feeling confident after the combined image of Comp was released, but now having seen each individual bot/alt mode, this UW set is a not-to-be-missed must have for me.

All of the bots look amazing.
Weakest alt mode imo is Afterburner, but the modification is okay.
I don't have (and won't get) Wheeljack, so the Lightspeed mold is cool with me.
I'm sure it's because it's unpainted, but in the collage images someone posted, it looks like the hood is less rounded on the sides compared to the Wheeljack mold.
Probably just from a slight difference in camera angle of the shots, but it does look more squared-off to me.

Anyway, can't wait to see color images.

I love all of those head sculpts!!!!

Why? My figures have to actually look nice, that includes a well laid out deco, something TT has not done well for their last 4/5 combiners

My spidey sense is telling me that the deco on this one will be pretty awesome layout wise. I'm feeling some hard, good efforts to round out unite warriors here

I'll believe it when I see it, but based on his show appearance, my expectations are staggeringly low

Have some faith Mi Amigo. We shall see soon enough what techno-awesome we have to deal with.
