Transformers United EX Story Information

The Allspark: Transformers News Movie Comics Animated - United EX / Power Core Combiner Story Information

Interestingly it sounds like the basis for the Japanese Bombshock and Skyburst bios are largely the same as their US ones (Cannon Master stealing his combiner parts from the Autobots, Jet Master being the first one to master Power Core Combination) but the stories are expanded on slightly.

According to Hydra pretty much every character will be an existing TF. The X-master names being code names. Some perhaps controversial choices too apparently. Interesting.

I'm a sucker for fiction (something US PCCs were missing) and this inclusion of them in Japanese G1 and tying them to an adult Chip sounds like fun.

-ZacWilliam, can't afford them but very eager to see their story come to life.

I suppose the red one is Rodimus ?

I was going to say the red car is going to be Hotrod rather then say the logical choice of say light speed or Sideswipe or even overdrive

Also now I'm on Twitter so feel free to add me or message me with any questions

Interesting. I've already grouped my pcc into my classics shelf so this reinforces it.

Interesting. I'll be curious to see where this fiction goes. I'd love to see the return of the mini-comics that Henkei had to flesh out the story with these releases.

I'm glad to see the minicons get names now too (the Backwind redeco is Firebug, and the Chainclaw redeco is Spanner, if I'm remembering the releases correctly), since I think they were unnamed previously.

None of them are likely to be Major characters like Rod/imus. The set up is specifically that the major players in the war are long gone from Earth leaving only reletively weak lesser characters behind who need the drones to match the combat power of more major characters.


-ZacWilliam, apparently it's set near the events of Operation Combination.

Oh I can't wait for this to be fleshed out!

Hydra's chosen a perfect spot to slot these guys in, totally fits with the late era Operation Combination stuff and what not

D/L

The whole "special new Autobot team developed while a similarly-powered Decepticon team is forming in secret" thing is very Masterforce. I like it. Still probably won't pay the import prices for the figures, but it's cool they'e taking the time to come up with a backstory for them.

TBH... instead of Takara fleshing out the story for these figures... they should've retooled the crap out of the crappy drones...

Nice decos they're making, but the QC-ridden drones being repainted is well...

I'd say you can't polish a turd... but um... Mythbuster's proved you can. *facepalm*

But you know what... at the end of the day... it's still a turd!
