New Pictures of Takara Transformers Unite Warriors Groove, Streetwise and Prowl

Looking at Prowl and Streetwise, I really wonder why they didn't remold the back of the police car to have back windows, then when they transformed, leave the waist unturned so the window sides would be front. They would've both looked more accurate that way.

But would have had useless knees...

B-but accuracy! You don't want a prowl that walks like a bird?

Uh, no, I actually want articulation (Ya know, it's only one of the first things in my sig)

Oh yeah, the knees

It's getting so close to me getting my Devy, I can almost feel it.

Knowing this is the only time that this configuration will happen without spending ridiculous amounts of money makes me deeply sad.

*smashes keyboard* I know someone out there will buy 4 of these sets just to get these configurations.

Groove does look pretty decent but makes Streetwise and Prowl look crappy (though you can see why Hasbro chose to do a Legends Groove instead cos that is a big motorcycle). Prowl still just looks a bit desperately trying to use that mold especially with that chest paint.

That circle with the triangle on First Aid's arm. What is that for? I wanna say I saw that in the comic, but I cannot find it's meaning to save my life.

One for each limb, even.

It's missing a 5th groove as the chestplate. Alternity groove and his posse of groove auto-avatars. Oh and hotspot i guess.

Or it's Groove using the GT System (plus Hot Spot).

In addition to the police squad robots from the Takara Tomy Unite Warriors line, Hisashi Yuki has posted on Twitter some fun combinations of the upcoming Guardia (Defensor) release in the same line - using the four limbs in as matching sets! Because who doesn't need four Blades on one torso? Check them out below.

in a way, these configurations are much more visually pleasing, symmetry and all that...

Whoa, quadruple First Aid looks pretty awesome.

It's same can't be said about pourpotions of combined mode hands go past knees arms are longer than legs like series that combines finally good treatment but make is possible legs are long on bother finger they look like gorillas standing on two legs.,

Nice figures but not for me

It pains me that these combinations would cost $500 or more for the average consumer.

That problem gets fixed with the Perfect Effect hands and feet. It corrects the horrible Hasbro proportions with tall boots and smaller normal sized hands. I keep all the stupid kangaroo boxing gloves in a shoebox.

Or maybe buy some Rooks to put them on.

But in all seriousness, those PE feet are a huge improvement. Glad I bought 'em.

I was actually thinking that the other day. Remember Powercore Combiners? Remember how people here were losing their minds over the asymmetrical, jumbled nature of the combined modes? Some of the Combiner Wars configurations don't really do much better in terms of symmetry.

Fun fact: thanks to Rook's 5mm peg mounted on his vehicle mode roof, a pair of Rooks can be used as rollerskates for any combiner.

I like the stock hands and feet. I've seen plenty of reviews of PE sets and the hands are awful. The feet look great but a lot have said they're loose. The hands don't look like hands. They look like the skeletal structure for hands on these giant dudes.

I've never been a fan of the 'Protect' obots. They're always rescuing people, snatching them out of my grasp...

Still, somehow this gestalt looks best with all four deluxes which were NOT part of the official release. The Groove deluxes seem to have the best symmetry besides Blades...

Works with Swindle too, as I just tried it. Unfortunately, it is very loose, and I didn't have a good camera on me to take pictures.

My two cents on the foot-hand-guns: I love the concept. It really pulls the whole Scramble City concept together (since anybody can truly be any hand or foot), and works better than integrated hands and feet, which typically end up looking too small (e.g. Liokaiser). That said, however, hand-sized feet are kind of a stretch for a hominid. I'm probably going to eventually find larger feet for my combiners, but I think I'll keep the hands as they are; as much as I enjoy individually articulated fingers, I want to pay homage to the concept.

The Groove-limb configuration is like Takara taunting Hasbro "Neener-neener-neener! You can't do this!" (The all-FirstAid combo looks the best to me.) If only Hasbro would release Deluxe Groove later on, if only...

Maybe, maybe, maybe if they ever do the Technobots to go with Scattorshot, we'll see a retooled Groove as Afterburner. If not that, maybe as an online exclusive along with shuttle-mode Blast Off, but I definitely wouldn't count on it.

Aren't CW Slingshot and wildrider not online exclusives becsuse you can still find them just at smaller retailers....

At this point I doubt we wil even get a PROPER computron or his limbs from Hasbro at this point cause combiner wars is ending and Titan's Return. Though I can easily takara doing a computron figure pretty easily.

Erm... I don't think so. I think there was like one out-of-the-blue Wildrider sighting at K-Mart, but that was it.

Though the original reveal of them stated that they would be released in smaller retailers. Though they weren't listed or said to even be online exclusives, and were said to release in that may special week which did happen.

Groove looks cool but Rook is to awesome for me to replace him. I think I can live with the Legend class Groove.

Disappointed to have missed out on Guardian (I'm always too slow on those internet exclusives) but can't wait wait to finally get my hands on Devastator on Saturday.

Thanks for the link. I don't regret it enough to pay to have one shipped back to Japan.

Yup, he was really hot in Japan, unlike MP Ramjet.

Groo-fensor. Looking sweet. Same with the others. Talk about scramble.

And I now feel the urge to make rollerskates for one of my combiners using Swindle and Rook....

Well there are a bunch of g1'ers griping for it. I bet they'll (bigroove and blast-off) be released next year. (Would be cool if the blast-off was repainted into the mini-con rocket from armada...)

You know, I'm really not liking how this "G1'er" term is being thrown around in such a derogatory manner lately.

Why is it so wrong to prefer G1? What gives others the rights to mock and ridicule another member of this fandom because of their like for one particular generation?

The term "Geewunner" in its proper context is not supposed to refer to those who simply prefer G1. It's meant to refer to those who prefer G1 above all else to the extreme extent of shunning all non-G1 series.

To a true "Geewunner", things like G2, BW, BM, RID (either one), Armada, Energon, Cybertron, the Movies, Animated, Prime, Rescue Bots, etc. are abominations or pale imitations of "the one TRUE Transformers series" that is G1 and don't deserve any of the same love and attention that only G1 should ever get.

So it's not a term that's meant to refer to just G1 fans in general, but more to a specific minority that devoutly cares only for G1 and fully abhors everything else.
