More chrome, more chrome and more chrome. If you've been missing it on your Transformers Generations figures, then wait no longer. While not completely official, KapowToys has stated that Takara will be taking Generations under it's wing as Transformers United. These will be set for release in December!

United. Nice name. I like.

And good old CJ, I should have known anyway, but that's some pleasant news.

by **dkreed7** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 1:25 am

Is it likely they'll have better paint than generations?
And why no WFC Starscream?

I Think UN06 - Optimus Prime and UN09 - Megatron must be a japanese version of Classics DVD 2-Pack OP VS MEGATRON .

What about that blue repaint of the Classics Bumblebee with chrome that surface a few months ago? It could be that.

While they are at it, I would be glad to see repaints of Beast Wars 10th Anniversary Optimus Primal/Cybertron Deluxe Class Jungle Planet Optimus Prime, as well as Beast Wars 10th Anniversary Megatron/Cybertron Deluxe Class Jungle Planet Megatron/Botcon 2010 Cindersaur. I am unsure what or how the Cyber Keys/Force Chips will be handled.

by **cartoonconvoy** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 3:23 am

I think that BB, OP and Megatron are those going to be released Legend Class together with Starscream and Prowl.... maybe I am wrong

News Credits: 2 · by **Stockade** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 3:46 am

What! no Blurr on that list... Definitley getting Drift and Straxus for sure and cant wait for more chrome!!!!

News Credits: 2 · by **Convotron** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 4:03 am

So United is basically going to be the equivalent to Henkei? I hope chrome is avoided but I'm all for TT's take on the colour schemes. The Generations figures have been great so far so I'm all for the United line. I'm not big on repaints but I enjoy Generations figures as much as Classics figures so I'll be picking up at least a few United offerings.

The blue Classics Bumblebutt was decided to be a high quality KO & not an official product.

that's a kick ass name. how come hasbro didn't think of that?

News Credits: 402 · by **Mkall** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 6:57 am

OR the United versions of Prime, Megs and Bumnblebee will be their Legends counterparts that we saw advertised at Botcon.

News Credits: 5 · by **--B--** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 8:54 am

This is going to be like Henkei all over again. Drift is awesome, but how much nicer is the United version going to be?

There's going to be a lot of buying a mold and not opening it in case the United version is vastly better (like Hound better, not like Sunstreaker better).

Hmm. Wonder if I should wait for Takara's WFC Megatron. Knowing them, they'll give him silver paint, which the Hasbro one lacks.

News Credits: 2 · by **Stockade** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 9:13 am

Even though Drift is an awesome figure, but i wonder if Takara will make his swords out of a stiffer material and chrome them?

News Credits: 32 · by **UltraPrimal** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 10:07 am

lol, United Straxus. As in the United Straxus of America? :lol:

Stiffer material would be cool but chroming them would be a big failure. They're parts that will encounter friction when sheathed and removed from the sheathes so the chrome wouldn't last long.

Where on KapowToys' site does it say this? I wish to verify the source.

Someone may have already asked, but does this mean there won't be a Blur or Dirge?? I was really looking forward to getting those two.

Takara(Japan)'s different from Hasbro(America/Europe). Hasbro will be releasing Dirge and Blurr next month, we'll see what Takara's plans are for Dirge and Blurr later..

We're getting paint changes, whether they're better than Generations will be up to you.
NO WFC Starscream yet because Hasbro hasn't designed one yet.

I'm a Takara classics completest and all but no way in hell would I ever buy those molds, well even though I had to get the clear version of prime due to it being in a set.

As for those being the legends, I would think they would be sold in a pack of two or three like they did in the Henkei line and I would also think it would be a little early to release them since they were just showed off a month and the US won't be getting them until next year.

Even I must admit I'm stumped. Every figure in the list has a possible Hasbro counterpart except for UM-07 Bumblebee. I'm starting to think either the name solicited is incorrect, or Classics Bumblebee gets a repaint. Seriously, I went through every single line that had a Bumblebee and every single one of the possibilities has seen a previous Japanese release.

I'm ruling out the Legends as they'd, as pointed out earlier, be sold in a 3-pack, or be part of a new EZ Collection.
