I was asking thre same question above. Looks like Takara just took a full extra month spaced out between their last two UW releases. Megatronia should be released 1/28/17, and Baldigus *should* be 3/25/17, from what I've been reading elsewhere.

I think we will get a predaking or Abominus eventually simply because its inevitable and they are in this G1 craze. I just didnt think the 3rd part was beast themed and its confirmed not to be.

Well funnily enough....if you look at AndroidAnchovy post here on the link on TFW2005...he's done some rather convincing limb modes out of some TR deluxes(so i guess it's a what could've might've been...but never did....senario).

I mean, you can do that with anything really. Most Leg and Arm modes are just slightly different Vehicle and Robot modes at the end of the day, so it's easy to fudge limb modes out of any figure.

Via the Facebook page for site sponsor RobotKingdom, we have a look at the collector coin that will accompany the pre-orders of Takara Tomy Transformers Unite Warriors UW-EX Megatronia, the Japanese redeco and recasting (fiction-wise) of fan-built combiner Victorion. Check it out in the images below!

Hold on, why is there an Autobot symbol on there?

[william-james88]

Because the coins and sleeves are made by people who dont know the toys. This isnt Takara, its a hasbro asia add on and we've seen worse. Remember Defensor, he was shown with the Hasbro chest.

[Sabrblade]

Yeah, that's a big case of "Whoops!"

Haha, yeah I remember that. I also just noticed that it says Combiner Wars on the coin itself, looks like they really don't know what they're doing

It's just sad that the Legends class Motorcycle mold has four characters (3 from Hasbro and 1 from TT), and none of them are a Decepticon to go with Megatronia. Sure it will be neat to see the color comparison of how these cycle-bots contrast with her, but I like my combiners to be uniform in faction (well except TFCC Wreckage which is an oddity to begin with...) . Really, Really wishing that TAV Override was named differently, and was a con'.

Its more like they dont care.

TR Rumble's package image is that of a recolored Rewind too. While the in package is well...Oopsie or just beating the deadlines.

Maybe this is a mass error set which will make it even more collectible?

Iguanus would have been a good redeco.

[Sarahthecutevixen]

if I had the money, I would be adding this to my fembot collection,

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Victorion is an Autobot, so Megatronia must be one as well. Redecos changing factions? That's just silly

And I found another goof, though that may depend on how well you see colors: the lower left corner representing Flowspade is off.

[Emerje]

I'm going to wager a more logical guess that Hasbro Asia intended to release Combiner Wars Victorion with a coin and changed their mind. They kept the existing coin, photoshopped the sleeve into Megatronia's colors and called it a day without changing symbols.

Aren't the CW boxsets general retail over there in China, Hong Kong, and SEA?

[Kurona]

I would have loved a coin with my Victorion

Yes, but this one was supposed to be something special being the Fan Built Combiner which they may have at one point thought made it worthy of the coin treatment, then changed their minds. None of the other UW coins say Combiner Wars on them so why else would this one? Coupled with the Autobot symbol this is what makes the most sense.

But the bright side is that the most common deco for that mold is white, meaning Groove can be easily dyed into whatever color we wish with minimal paint - Flamewar probably being the best for this particular team, if only the head were a bit rounder.

I probably should've stocked up myself before throwing that out there.

Easy Solution, Wreck-Gar and a decepticon sticker from reprolabels. The blinding bright orange should fit right in color-wise. Just make up your new character name and you're set. Or even keep him as Wreck-Gar and pretend he was capture/enslaved and turned into their lackey.

I was asking thre same question above. Looks like Takara just took a full extra month spaced out between their last two UW releases. Megatronia should be released 1/28/17, and Baldigus *should* be 3/25/17, from what I've been reading elsewhere.

FYI - tfwiki has Astrotrain being released 1/28 and Megatronia on 1/31. The have Baldigus on 3/25 as you mentioned.

I guess I spoke too soon, I just got my notice from BBTS that Megatronia is in.

[SW's SilverHammer]

Just got the notice megatronia hit my P.O.L

[Va'al]

Another toy update today comes from the official Takara Tomy Transformers PR account on Twitter, and features the Unite Warriors line with Exclusive set Megatronia - shipping soon - and the Bruticus redeco Baldigus, also known as Ruination to some of us! Check the two in the image below, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

Still no clear reveal of the box art.....??. I mean we know what it looks like, but it'd be nice to see a nice big pic without a watermark.
