Thanks to TFW2005 boards member Masabon, we have a great set of in hand images of the recently released Unite Warriors Menasor! We’ve mirrored some of the key shots for your viewing pleasure after the jump, the full list of images can be seen in the discussion link.
If you’re digging the Takara release of these figures, check out our sponsors to try and secure yourself a Stunticon box set!

Wow, these look great together!

I would need to dig mine out, but I think he is purposely off-white?

Sorry to necro an old thread
I just picked up this boxset used, and Breakdown isn't quite as crisp-white as the renders & images suggest
7 years after release, has anyone else experienced their UW Breakdown "yellowing"? Mine is lookin' maybe a bit beige
Also DragStrip is lookin' like a straight up mac & cheese, though I think that's how he's supposed to look, lol
UW Motormaster, I see the waist areas of concern where people say it's GPS (or variant of), it definitely LOOKS like maybe concerning
Mine hasn't snapped yet though, and any gestalt-moding will be done with a PE girdle, so hopefully the added weight distribution means nothing bad comes to him
No concerns about the other two, look fine
PoweredConvoy
That looks fantastic!

That actually looks good on Menasor. We need a new 3rd Party add-on with this head.

I will never understand why people around here insult others just because they disagree with them.
On-topic: I wish they would at least have gone with a more appropriate head for Menasor. I guess I can wait on this one since is not as good as Superion and I'm already saving for UW Protector.
Type-R
Indeed. A pity the available 3P replacement options are not good as this.
DoubleClouder
I would love to get one of those!

Now you're just being stupid. You're comparing a designer tweeting a no-context photo of Bruticus using Groove as an arm to an officially announced figure with production samples and entire galleries of photos?
I suppose Magnus armour for MP10 was confirmed when they shared a picture of MP10 using G1 Ultra Magnus' armour? No. It wasn't. Yes, it's likely that the tweet was hinting at a new mold Blastoff, but it's FAR from confirmation in any sense of the word.

B Croco on Twitter sculpted a cartoon accurate head for Menasor.

Ironhide has a release date of December 1st. TFWiki is your best friend.

Cheers, Bountyan! I see that Motormaster has a slight edge on size. I doubt that Prime would stand much chance this time in a head-on collision. Maybe you can test that for me.

You're really playing semantics. He's definitely confirmed to anyone paying attention. 1+1 always equals 2. If you want to pretend he isn't, that's your prerogative, but don't expect others to go along just because.
MP Ironhide has no price or release date, so I guess to some, he isn't confirmed. I mean really, what a silly argument.
It is amazing to me how much people always seem hungry for news, yet can't read the tea leaves correctly at all.

I want to see a photo of how Motormaster stacks up against Classics/Henkei Optimus Prime. They're supposed to be rivals.
Starscream Gaga
No, if you are able to think you can recognise that it is almost definitely happening. That still doesn't make it confirmed. The "news" has not been "dropped" as of right now, like PoweredConvoy was suggesting.
The words "confirmed" and "hinted at" are not actually interchangeable.
Afterburner
If you are able to think, he's confirmed.

Oh glorious day, UW Menasor showed up today! Nicely packaged, no damage. What awesome packaging, with the magnetic flip-up cover…thank you, THANK YOU Takara for making this set exactly what I wanted it to be. I did a bit of comparing to the Hasbro guys (which are being packed up for ebay as I speak) and the thing is, the Hasbro stuff is also great. Just a bit different. I'd totally keep both if space wasn't an issue, and having two just doesn't sit well with me.
Bring on UW Bruticus!!!
Oh, and no import fees. Hooray!

Just because it happens doesn't mean it's been confirmed at this time.
That's not what confirmed means. The announcement you mention…that'll be confirmation.
Dark Jedi
That looks really good. Why are people turned off to the car chestpiece?
