    What I REALLY want is the cone heads from the CW leader Molds, am I alone in this or have you guys discussed it before?
    IF I get that out of the way I wouldn't mid getting everyone again in Voyager scale, I sometimes use my Leader and Voyagers of other characters as regular and powered up versions of main characters, then if I just really want to use all the seeker of all sizes together the smaller ones will just be the generic army builder types we saw in the G1 cartoon in backgrounds.

    Here's the list of toolings (which I think is complete) that we know or believe exist that have not been used yet:

    Takara has not used: CW Strafe, CW Nosecone drill weapon, any of the Liokaiser toolings (4 new heads for deluxe limbs, new combined head and dragon head for Dezarus), or the BC Prime head for voyager OP

    Hasbro has not used: UW Strafe & Blast-off, UW Nosecone, UW Lightspeed head for Wheeljack, Starscream head for Skydive, Thrust head for Air Raid, Ratchet, extra individual weapons for Computron and Devastator

    Neither of them have used: Demolisher head for Onslaught, evil Optimus head (TFSS Toxitron) for Motormaster, Hoist head for Trailbreaker, Brawl head for Rook, Counterpunch head for Wheeljack.

    *Due respect to FunPub, but I'm not counting their releases as Hasbro ones.
    I dug up the above (lightly edited) from the CW Appreciation thread because (a) it could be relevant and (b) I was thinking about what might be done w/Buster and Hydra. I could see (since they combine with each other) them being released as a pair. Just kind of ignoring the UW compatibility

    I could also see them being part of a combiner with Counterpunch and two characters to be named later

    Edited list to include BC Prime. H/t @kaijuguy19

    Takara also hasn't used the CW Battle Core Optimus Prime figure as well which has a Star Convoy styled head as opposed to the original CW Optimus head. I'm curious to see how they'll use it assuming that they actually do use that mold since they're not against reusing molds if it at least has a new head. Perhaps they can make him into Nova Prime?

    id like landcross as well...however, only...and i mean ONLY..if it was takara's big project. because i want him to be his 6 vehicles/robots that combine to the three two robot forms then all make the big six robot form.

    if they can't make that landcross happen i don't want 5 random cars that make up a traditional scramble city type combiner.

    Lol. Never expected a reply so fast!

    The link to this thread was posted under a new thread I started on the speculation for Takara's boxsets, so I followed the link here. I was amused by how overly confident you were, lol. I meant no offense.

    But you have to admit, from another's point of view and the first time reading this thread, it was kinda funny! :wink:

    Hopefully we'll hear something about Takara's future UW plans soon.

    What are the odds that Takara Unite Warriors Computron ever sees a reissue?

    I passed up on him to buy my wife a Valentines Day gift instead and I REALLY wish Takara would release him again.

    Since Takara/Tomy's POTP figures are identical to the Hasbro releases, I have my fingers crossed that we'll get a UW 2-pack with correctly colored Hydra and Buster. The jets combine so that counts, right? Probably not going to happen but I can still hope.

    If they release that, it'll probably be PP-EX. But outlook is bleak at this time.

    Aw man you gotta see the humor in that especially if it is the context of being super disappointed in that Star Scream. I mean we play with ours and like it a lot but I can see how people would be a little raw over how it turned out.

    It looks like TCP has a few mint-in-box Unite Warriors box sets listed for pretty reasonable prices: Pre-Owned
    Heads up in case anyone's looking for them from a retailer rather than resorting to eBay. Looks like they qualify for their free shipping as well.
