Thanks to Takara designer Hisashi Yuki’s twitter, the combiner news continues with the Unite Warriors line as we have yet another teaser image of their upcoming Bruticus! G1 fans will rejoice as from the looks of the silhouette, Blast Off and Vortex have received both minor and major overhauls! The changes include a possible reshell of the Fireflight/Quickslinger (Slingshot) mold to make Blast Off look more like a shuttle, new tail fins for said shuttle mode, and four rotor blades for Vortex. It’s unclear whether Blast Off will have a new head, but it’s highly anticipated.
No pre-orders or release dates as of yet, but stay tuned to TFW for more news on upcoming Unite Warriors projects and be sure to click the discussion link below to share your excitement with your fellow fans!

Got my notice from AE for HS Prime and Bruticus (oddly they came a half hour from each other). I set it to give me the shipping cost minutes after I got it. I'm still waiting… They're still packing… The bad thing about time zone differences… I hope I won't have to wait to ship until Monday…

Second run of brawl fixed that, i can't see TT not using that version.

AE sent out emails to ship

Anyone know if they are fixing Brawl. I've seen a number of reviews and the Hasbro version is just terrible with that floppy torso.
Cyberrabbits
Excellent!

I think I like Blast Off better as a leg, along with Swindle. I like the way the Decepticon logos make it very clear which side this combiner on.

Got the message earlier, hitting ship as soon as he's in my POL.

Yup! Takara did the Combaticons justice by keeping the OG line up. Can't wait to get these guys. This is probably one of my most anticipated PoLs!
TFXProtector
Same.
Broken Forge
Just got the 10 day warning notification from BBTS for this guy.

Can't wait. Really can't wait until UW Computron drops.

I don't think so, not eye color, just the face color.

~5 days.
Lazerwave
Is this coming out soon? Just waiting for my order to be ready.

Isn't his actual visor painted too?

That newest picture of Bruticus shows a slightly better tone to Blast Off. Odd how the colors seem to shift in different lighting. He's the new Masterpiece Shockwave.
Looks good in person, for the most part, will be pretty darn close, but not quite.
He's like a chameleon that changes to brown and orange. lol

The feet are necessary because it's not Jet Off and it's toon accurate…the visor eye is unfortunate, but it is easy to fix. The feet look awesome and make this mold stand out from the others, color opinions aside.
Not only that, in Combined mode where these stay 99% of the time, visor eye is not an issue. Neither are thruster toes.

I like the fact the did reverse the front and back. Makes the bot modes look even more different and make it a little less obvious how much they share in molding.

The feet are necessary to distract from the fact that they painted an animation error onto his face.
