    Release date - April 30th
    Price - 16,200yen

    It's like the 2003-2005 Universe series, with characters plucked from different eras into the one series.

    They got the colours spot on for Thust, as it really gives the visual feel of that toy.
    War Breakdown looks like something FunPub would do for BotCon.
    The colours for Cyclonus just don't look/feel right.
    I actually thought the Rook redeco was Armada Hoist from the smaller images at the start of this news topic... and Roller as yet another evil reformatted and brainwashed Unicron pawn (like Nemesis Prime and the four horsemen of Armada) is unnecessary. With the unusual choices for the rest of the team, why make this an evil Roller?

    One nice touch they did (in addition to the nice looking Starscream) is colouring the two parts of Cyclonus' gun orange and purple to look like Gen1 Galvatron's cannon... which Hasbro should have done with their Cyclonus/Galvatronus.

    I think Cyclonus looks perfect. I could just see him with that colour scheme walking straight out of the reformatting scene into my hand.

    This set is PERFECT, IMO. Breakdown, Thrust and Ghostscream also look awesome, but I'm not yet sold on 'Wandering Roller'.

    I'd agree with UltimateGalvatron, Cyclonus' colours look pretty movie-tastic.

    Perhaps one of our Japanese speakers can confirm this, but I'm pretty sure all the names of the limbs are meant to evoke undead creatures, not just Ghost Starscream and Zombie War Breakdown (what a name!). Curse Armada Thrust presumably refers to a cursed being or cursed spirit, fitting in with the theme. Wandering Roller probably refers to a Wandering Spirit, as well as to him being lost and abandoned by the Autobots. Even Cyclonus is established to have been possessed by Galvatron's spirit. This set is spoo-oo-ky!!!

    I love the movie accurate Cyclonus. Time to get ready to buy him.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    What if Thrusts head and Starscreams' were old heads for remolds to make a seeker combiner/limbs.
