    Okay, so apart from Rodimus, Thunderwing and Warpath, what moulds are the other ones? Optimus Primal? Heck yes. Can't wait for the decos on these.
    Also I'm guessing "Wing Charger" is actually Windcharger.

    WindCharger and Wipeout are instant buy. Awesome mould!
    Surfboard Primal also, I've been wanting one of those boards for a while

    Some of these are pretty sweet, some are severe disappointments (BIS Roddy + Unicron)...

    It's good that the line is continuing though

    Yeah, I'd say it's a transliteration error... Windcharger's G1 Japanese name was "Charger" -- but then again, United uses their Anglophone names rather than their JP names (e.g. Optimus Prime isn't called Convoy, Jazz isn't called Meister etc.) Odd that they've listed "Rodimus Convoy" instead of Rodimus Prime. Another error?

    Yeah, that was pretty disappointing.

    Wipe Out? Meh... okay, I can see they're trying to be original and make a new character, but I personally would've preferred a white/green repaint (and retool) as Tailgate.

    Wtf rodimus? I hope that is a placeholder pic...but the description said rodimus convoy, which is basically rodimus prime right??? Has to be a new mold. Kinda stupid to restock on henkei, then release the same mould in united.

    I agree looks very disappointing. I dont mind the shark moldthough, since i dont have it yet. That unicorn, primal, and beast wars megs molds are old right?

    I suspected this was the case. Ugly repaints.

    It seems that Takara-Tomy has begun to like their useless repaints as much as Hasbro although I believe the 'Cybertron' BW molds to be new for the Japanese market.

    Yeah they are about 6 years old and not that great. Their original 10 year older (now 16!) BW figures are superior toys.

    Primal is really horrible but Megatron is an 'ok' toy.


    ...I guess we still have 3rd parties to hold our interest..

    Hmm.. have to say i'm slightly disappointed.. was looking forward to primal and megs.. but those moulds look bleh.

    I will most likely pick up the warpath/windcharger and maybe thunderwing pending their final decos.

    Thanks! Those are super ugly. Going to avoid axalon, unicron and primal now.

    I don't mind the black deco, it's nice. Wipe out! But I agree, I'd still like to see a Tailgate out of this mould in the future.

    Whatever happened to Hubcap's Big Daddy repaint?
