New waves of United

[liegeprime]

Well for army builders like me that reissuance of Unicron tank is awesome news, now I can have more siege tanks to bolster my Unicronian army .

Windcharger and Wipeout , ok Ill bite - I, like everyone else, want to see Tailgate...

Already got them Primal and Megs when first released, so Im not too keen.

Where's the pic for Axalon? What's that figure supposed to be?

Hmmm sharkticons ei... didnt these molds get used in the last Botcon... ah well it's a nice figure but wouldve prefered an original mold for the modern day sharkticons and not a re-use

My source said they were coming, (as I have mentioned before) but totally unsure why they decided to do a few BW/Cybertron modes. Very odd choice.

They could have kept selling thousands of toys if they kept with the classics line
- Windcharger (where is tailgate?)
- Warpath
- Thunderwing
- Rodimus (they should have just reissued Henkei rodimus in united packaging)

What they did miss out strangely
- Junkheap/Blackshadow
- Ultra Magnus

Overall disappointed by this series, but having said that, I'm a completists, so will probably buy a set just to store.

The Sharkticon is the one being called Axalon... But I think they meant "Nemesis" instead. I think the inspiration comes from the Exodus/Exiles story with the origin of the Nemesis vessel being from a particular Transformer. Maybe the United bio will say that this is that same WFC character???

Aside from Rodimus, these are all molds that Japan never got when they were released for the American market. So, Japan is just playing catchup.

I guess they are just Uniting the toys into one big pot ...

I always thought there actually was a Wipe-Out toy that came with Trypticon (like Scamper came with Metroplex). Marvel Comics lied to me.

Don't think I want to pay the United Rumble/Frenzy price for that two pack though.

Wow. More disappointing than I ever imagined!

Might grab a Thunderwing though, because I need excuses to give them my money!

There is the response I was waiting for

I may get Axalon if he is a WFC character... depending on the story. Still haven't got Exiles yet.

it's odd that they would do Thunderwing and not Black Shadow considering that G1 Thunderwing never came out in Japan and thus never appeared in any Japanese G1 media... Black Shadow would have wider appeal

meh, united needs to be something very special to make it worth the import cost.
I have only ever purchased united jazz and tracks.

None of this looks particularly great, warpath doesn't even seem to have the BL44M text that our release had.

Same... although I did get Rumble / Frenzy as well.
