Takara Transformers Unite Warriors Superion Box Set to be Released in Australia

Posted by Va'al May 28, 2015 at 11:11am CDT 29,233 views
From the Facebook group Talk Transformers, and translator and user Kelvin Chan/Goktimus Prime, we have confirmation that the Takara Tomy Unite Warriors Superion box set, including all five Aerialbots in the Takara deco (and white hands and feet), will also be released at Australian retail, with English box and instruction sheets! Check out the images of the translations and the original Japanese, plus further details below.

I can now reveal that Hasbro will be releasing TakaraTOMY's Unite Warriors Superion set here. I don't know what the price will be, but I've been told that this will be out at Toys R Us in July. This is another set of instructions which I've translated for Hasbro

The Japanese version shows the function and name of each Aerialbot in Japanese, with just their name written in English in smaller subtitles below the line. For Hasbro's version, I've translated the functions and names to English, and included their mottos in English, Latin and Japanese.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Now burn can sleep happy knowing he no longer needs alpha bravo. :lol:

Its interesting Australia sells takara products in retail stores side by side with hasbro products. That kind of flushes the whole "for the Japanese market" excuse down the toilet. :-?

They've been doing that for years, you know? :lol:

Australia has done a few special, normally TakaraTomy-only, releases, like Masterpiece MP-2 Ultra Magnus, Jetwing Optimus Prime, Masterpiece MP-22 Ultra Magnus, Masterpiece MP-24 Star Saber (with the bio of the IDW character) and now Unite Warriors Superion. Consider them "off the record", or in other words "don't apply to official statements".

I feel the talk of exclusivity is pointless if we ignore price. In this day and age with the internet nothing is truly exclusive depending on one's definition but the golden rule remains the same: exclusivity means there is one direct source/outlet for the lowest price.

Which is why that cheap Defensor/Guardian mystifies me beyond belief.

You would think that all the mysteries would be solved once Takara released pictures of their Guardian but instead I have even more questions.

And I thought I would never see the day when Rated X isn't complaining about something.

This is the lame one with the dead robot. Who wants a robo-zombie for an arm?


And how many TF fans are there really in AU? Like ten?

Maybe fans who mainly know the franchise from the G1 cartoon and/or toy line? Who don't see Slingshot as dead? Yes, I acknowledge he died in the comics. Comics I don't read. To me, Slingshot is still alive.

I get the Arialbots I want. You get the Arialbots you want. Some people get all the Arialbots and get to go, "Woo hoo! More toys for me! Yay!" Why is this even still an issue, aside from people who want to intentionally troll the issue...

Oh, wait. Never mind. Guess I just answered my own question.

Or a leg? I wouldn't mind having one. My father has had polio so his leg's in a brace, plus he works for an airline company. :)

More than enough to warrant this release, and the ones before. :lol:

What if I just want to recreate a scene from G1, you know, when Slingshot was alive? I wonder what Rated X would have to say about seeing G1 as dead and that there is no need for a Slingshot combiner Wars figure. :-?


I wish I could say it was nice to have you back Shockblast 2, but that would be a lie.

I guess our vacation is over people. >:oP

For those who haven't kept up on the news (you know ... every time Gok translates and announces the next TT figure to be released in Australia, TakaraTomy's products only see release via TRU. The translated instructions started this year.

When I was at TRU the other day they already had Star Sabre in stock, but in the past I've seen Wheeljack, Bumblebee, and Ultra Magnus. It's still cheaper to import from HLJ directly.

Unite Warriors isn't the same continuity as IDW's comics. So Slingshot's not dead in Unite Warriors.

But Sabr, that makes sense. How are you going to win an argument with facts and rational thought?

I was gonna use the Darth Vader NOOOOOO clip but I realize I used it at least 2 times before so that might look like spamming and that would be just as bad. Oh no, what do to, please let me keep my job. I will put Stalker in an upcoming list.

Most "excusive" releases like that end up at Toys R Us or Myer, rather than big box retailers. Remember Over here, Toys R Us, Target, even Hasbro are completely different entities than over in NA, as any agreements over there have nothing whatsoever to do with us here. I believe Hasbro AU is a division of Hasbro Asia, so anything Hasbro sells in Asia, like the Takara releases, can end up on shelves here. Just too bad the nearest TRU is 45min away...
