Four pages of mostly United figures (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/figure-king-february-2011-scans-mp-9-rodimus-convoy-united-wave-3-171318/), plus the MP Rodimus.

The JP magazine even highlights some of the (better) differences between United and the Hasbro versions (like with Tracks).

Wow I didn't know Rodimus could sit in Seiza (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seiza) position. That's cool. :)

That's a gimmick apprently. At least Speedbreaker can have a tea ceremony with someone now.:D;)

Really hope that United Grapple retains his chrome hook. Its not looking good from these new pictures. Wish Takara would get rid of this half metalic paint apps - either all or nothing.

And United Perceptor looses his chrome missing and dials that the Hasbro one has. Sigh.

Yeah he looks fairly ordinary compared to the Hasbro one. :confused:

hehehe... people being amazed when *every* Takara figure isn't better than the Hasbro versions, when it isn't a guaranteed thing.

Have a closer look at the grapple pic. They are comparing RTS Grapple, Tracks and Jazz to the United ones. The smaller pics are the United ones and Grapple appears to have a silver hook and chromey bits. Thats the reason why Tracks has a different firebird emblem and Jazz has an Autobot symbol on his bonnet in the small pic, but not the big.

No such comparison on Perceptor though.

Could see the comparisons. United Grapple hook is covered in those shots

Is this the February issue of Figure-Oh? Cos I looked for it yesterday at Kinokuniya and couldn't find any. Maybe they're sold out. :/
