Takara-Tomy have updated their order page for Unite Warriors Lynxmaster with completely new official images of the set. The set, which contains Japanese releases of Combiner Wars Sky Lynx, Hound, Trailbreaker, and Wheeljack, along with Ratchet who was never available in the US at mass retail, is set for a release this October via the Takara-Tomy mall. The new images show off the various figures in the set in different poses to the previous official images – a quick look over the images suggests that no changes to decos have taken place. Check out the new images attached to this post.

Yeah the UW set is super tight and not loose at all.
Meanwhile my CW Sky Reign is super loose.

Man, your report on the QC makes me wish I had waited for the UW set. I spent around an hour fixing the ratchets and tightening all the screws on the Hasbro version and it still seems loose in a couple spots.

So how tight again are the joints on Takara's UW Sky Lynx out of the box? Why not let him show you himself

The fold-out wings, much like the hind legs are tight, easily supporting the figure

Out of all my UW sets, this is easily the best toleranced.
I admit I was mistaken though. I said CW Dezaras has the fixed hip ratchets and that UW Sky Lynx would be identical… he's not. He's got fixed hip ratchets AND everything else

Other than not being able to get around effectively but, you will have time to check out lynxmaster
Glad to hear its just foot surgery
Robogeek28
Hey thanks man!
It's foot surgery which will lay me up for around 4 months.
Fun fun.
G1Optimal
Hope everything is all right robogeek28.
Robogeek28
Looks like mine will be arriving the day of my surgery, so I won't see it until I get home sometime the next day.

Yeah it's a shame.
Hopefully Hasbro/Takara eventually make a new more proper Ratchet/Ironhide in the next line after TR.

Started a review thread:
UW-EX Lynxmaster

There is, he was the Botcon Custom Class toy this year.
Kind of surprised he's showed up in Unite Warriors following that!

I wish there was a way of getting this ratchet for CW series. may be in May Mayhem? I doubt since blast off is more likey if such a thing happens. Its just sad, My ironhide is sad.

Has anyone that ordered from TCP had theirs ship yet?
I'm beginning to think I confused them when I hit the "ship now" button when I placed my order, because I always hit "Roller's stash" instead.

As neat as the set is, $160 is a big chunk of change, and I already spent nearly $200 on Thrust and have Primal coming soon.
But OTOH, this might sell out like the other exclusives like Galvatron and Convoy.
Also, it's kinda sad this is the CHEAP way to get the Ratchet retool of the Offroad mold.

He looks great with the Prime PE set. I've got the silver ones here waiting for him to arrive, and Liokaiser all set for the Grand Scourge ones… if AMO ever decides to release them

I think Sakamoto must have changed his mind about the time period these comics take place. At first they seemed to take place post-G-2 (since Metroplex has his new body from Metrowars), but based on the age of the humans in this one and the comics for Bruticus and Computron (and the Lynxmaster webcomic), they seem to take place post-Masterforce.

I'm glad that I bought Smokescreen and waited for this set. It was much easier than trying to get a loose Ratchet, which would have driven me nuts. Now I just have to wait for MP Inferno and MP SG Optimus to hit next month before I can ship my POL and get these guys in hand. All this waiting is killing me but it's worth it in the end. I much prefer the colours on the other three limbs compared to their Hasbro counterparts, plus Ratchet!
Dark Jedi
This set looks great but I really only want Ratchet so I had to let my preorder go as I'm cutting back anyway.
payres
Anyone else find Lynxmaster's left leg, on our right with Trailbreaker attached in most pictures, is pulling slightly to the side and won't fold at the hip 100% flush with the waist piece?
Wars
That Ratchet looks fantastic. He's the only one I'm interested in from the set
If anyone's willing to part with theirs, drop me a message please and thank you
