    Unicron is priced higher than the rest, maybe he's a voyager? Is 3600 what they go for these days?

    Rodimus Convoy excites me, but he's a deluxe. IF he's a new mould with a trailer and not a re-issue with altered paint scheme, he's definitely using that trailer as actual parts for the robot mode.

    The beast era figures sound interesting.

    If that's a new Rodimus mold, I wonder if Kabaya Rodimus is a clue as to what he might look like.

    Is anyone else hoping for an eggplant-as-hell Tank Megatron? My AMTC and G2 Ramjet need a much gaudier leader than the flat green Megs.

    And I just snorted at the thought of the deluxe Rodimus Convoy leading to an all-new appreciation for Universe Galvatron. Nay, a renassiance! :lol

    I really doubt any of these are new molds.

    As a Beast Wars fan who grew up with the series, I am stoked for half of this list.

    If any of those needs to be a new mold, it's got to be the Axalon, I'd love to own another model of their ship, transforming or not.

    Well, they didn't do crazy all over metallic finish on all the United figures so far; Straxus, Drift, Jazz and Grapple made it through unscathed lol. That said, Frenzy and Rumble do have some of those applications on thier altmode, though that's pretty forgivable next to Galvatron's chrome turret, in alot of fans' eyes I guess. Furthermore it'll be interesting to see what treatment the Tank/Thunder Megatron gets; my first thought was that it'll be a repaint of the figure that was originally released alongside the Deluxe Overkill, Dragstrip and Optimus Prime, the latter already having a United release. If this release (along with perhaps Rodimus Convoy's) and its deco are inspired by the G2 Megatron appearence in the EZ Collection Chronicles upcoming set, then the Deluxe would also pair quite well with the recent Laser Optimus Prime.

    Did the Cybertron Unicron ever get released in Japan before? It could be they just have a higher price on it because it is Unicron.

    I doubt the Rodimus is a new mold. Just a reissue of Hot Rod. It might have been in a multipack recently but not single carded & weren't all those transparent?
