    Default Transformers United UN23-UN30

    For fans of Transformers united I have spoken to 4 seperate stores here in Hong Kong and they have said that there are new ones on the way in June and July
    They didnt know exactly which would be released but they are told there will be 2 different assortments UN-23,24,25,26 on order from March (release in June) and UN-27,28,29,30 also on order from march (release in July).
    These toys have been exceptionally popular in Hong Kong with almost all stores sold out of stock.
    When I asked further, they also mentioned it may go to beyond that due to its popularity and will follow US generations/RTS lines.

    Will get more details this weekend when I speak to more people about it

    LOL no... why would you think that? Transformers Movie and TF United are two seperate lines.
    What I was told is that Warpath, and 2 seekers are going to be released as part of the next TF united line and they may reissue some of the Henkei items as well. One store suggested Ultra Magnus in United. I'll wait till the line comes out.

    Thats pretty interesting if it is true. TT have already released all the seekers so maybe sunstorm or possibly dirge and thrust are getting a mass release.

    RtS has movie Universe toys in it, but I think the United series is sticking to the non-movie RtS and Generations toys.

    yeah, it doesn't surprise me anymore that RtS would mix in movie toys -- Hasbro seems to have stopped caring about categorising TF series for some time now, but at least TakaraTOMY still seem to be making some effort in keeping them separate.

    My apologises actually - my bad for posting it in the wrong section.

    Apparently there will be an announcement once UN15-18 comes out or in next months Hyperhobby magazine.

    I can imagine the following getting the UNITED treatment (just my thoughts but I could very well be wrong

    Thrust
    Thundercracker
    Skywarp
    Warpath
    Dirge
    Cliffjumper
    Ultra Magnus

    I also wouldnt be surprised if we see new toys for Skids, Hoist, Trailbreaker, Blaster, Soundwave and Shockwave.

    Its generally not TakaraTomy's way of announcing 22 toys and stopping there. Especially not considering they are selling out everywhere.

    I wouldnt be surprised if the series goes to 40 or 50. About time we had a line that lasted longer than encore/TFC/henkei

    I'd like this, but I'd very surprised if they did create brand new toys (rather than repaints).
