Thanks to the Twitter of Takara designer Hisashi Yuki, we have our first teaser of the next combiner team in line to receive Takara’s Unite Warriors treatment! That combiner is none other than Computron! Hot on the heels of the full image of Hasbro’s Computron, we now have the first obligatory tease in the form of another silhouette, as seems to be tradition with the UW line. However, the silhouette, like those before Computron’s, reveals some changes we can expect to see upon full reveal. For starters, it appears Computron will have a new, if not slightly altered, combined form head! In addition to the long-awaited new head, Computron also appears to be sporting a new rifle and possible new feet that are either the new pair that comes with the Hasbro boxset, or are remolds of the regular Combiner Wars feet. Fans will also notice the lack of Legends Scrounge in this set, leaving him to be a Hasbro exclusive thus far; but anything’s possible!
Will you be getting Unite Warriors Computron now that we know it’s on the horizon? Will you stick with Hasbro’s version that sports Scrounge as a Legends partner? Or possibly both!? Share your excitement in the discussion link below, and be sure to stay tuned to TFW for more news on this and other awesome combiner sets!

What's the deal with Afterburner? He should look more like a lightcycle. Maybe he looked too close to Tron, and they were worried about a trademark lawsuit.

Will be awesome if they re-issue Computron UW!

EDIT: (Although in fairness, I’ve had my eye on Devastator even though he's a ways off from what I can afford, so maybe it’s a miracle he’s NOT going out of stock now?)

LynxMaster is distributor backstock. Devastator and Superion reissues sitting hurt the chances of more UW reissues. Too bad, I was hoping for another shot at Defensor.
TargetmasterJoe
Well, this became funny in hindsight, because Lynxmaster is now up for pre-order at BBTS.
Not sure if it means Computron's on the horizon, but if he is, I will not hesitate.

The G1 guns fit nicely

We can only be casually optimistic, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too much, since reissues like this are very rare in and of themselves.

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up reissuing all of them by the end of the year (or announcing them with release early next year). I could totally go for another shot at Ruination, Sky Lynx, Prime and Computron again (mostly figures in each set that I want that won't be released on their own).

It's beyond me as to why Takara chose to reissue UW Superion and Devastator, but not this set.

damn, missed it

@trence5 I think you were looking for this?

Stop reminding me about how I missed out on this gift set…

Just a heads up, I'm selling my PE Chestplate and big gun if anyone wants a partial upgrade. (in my sales thread, link in sig)

If you got the PE hand you can replicate the look with this guy's shapeways addons: Heavy/Scratch: – PerfectEffect CW Fist Guards

The TDW hands for Computron look great: CW style but not humongous

I've got the Unite Warriors Computron, it's currently stock and I'm considering add-ons.
What are your thoughts on the Dreamwave kit?

I quite like the shapeways parts too.

I have had my UW Computron for a yr maybe and never opened it up but bought PE hands and feet. Now I'm getting a G1 Computron from tf land and i can't wait to put each together and compare both. I'm finally finding a way to get figures I've always wanted and never got as a kid growing up back in the day of G1 transformers.
