TFW2005 Boards Member bigkid24 tells us that he has received information regarding upcoming Transformers: United figures.
Surprisingly, the list contains names belonging to the “Beast Era”. This news comes not too long after TFW2005 finding out Hasbro has applied to renew the trademark Tankor, who is another Beast Machines character.
Windcharger and Wipe-Out are both listed. This may very well be a two pack much like the United Frenzy & Rumble duo.
Update: Thanks to Malaysian toy blog Famitoys, we now have the Release Dates and Prices of the upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers: United figures. The 9 toys (UN-23 to UN-31) are expected to be released in January & February, 2012.
Take a look at the list of Figures, Release Dates and Prices, after the jump.

Where did you get that idea from?
Stepper
Ark Unicron can sure be repaint to Black version just like what they did to Armada Unicron previously
Kuma Style
After Henkei, I said I was done with the Rodimus mold… but fuck me if that deco isn't amazing.

I tried to get CHMS to make a matching pair for Hasbro's Acid storm no luck yet though. I thought they'd look good in Desert Camo and Urban/Arctic camo so they'd still be Yellow/Green/Blue but camo style. – Ramjet had a rare blue camo version though so perhaps a white belly and blue top for him instead.
G2 Starscream was part camo too so I think camo Seekers might be fun…
I don't know what Takara would do with that other than Black Starscream though (Robotmasters style).
PoweredConvoy
You're not going to see Acid Storm.
AllSpark Ferret
I think that could be a contender for the next United wave. Other possible molds that Japan hasn't had yet include:
Energon Tow-Line
Cybertron Downshift
Hardtop
Shortround
Armorhide
Skullgrin
Black Shadow
Junkheap
Japan also hasn't had Acid Storm, Ultra Magnus or Classics Cliffjumper yet.
I don't think they'll touch any new molds or any of the recent molds with new heads before Hasbro does them.

I think it's certainly more desirable than some of what they're pushing out.
RedAlert Rescue
I hope that I don't get a Negative response to the idea of Energon Slugslinger in G1 Slugslinger colours. I think that's a worthwhile idea.

can we change the thread title to "new united repaints" instead of new figures they are repaints after all.
im aware of the exchange rates and the prices are reasonable when you consider that but this list still comes to $550 not including taxes and shipping over here thats just crazy.
LegendAntihero
I'm interested in getting Unicron, even if it's just the Cybertron toy repainted because I don't own one already. I feel the same way about Optimus Primal. Oh, and it's a good thing they're releasing Windcharger and Hubcap so I don't have to pay ridiculous prices for Scout class toys.

Edit, wrong thread
Stepper
May get G2 Meg just to compliment my United G2 OP
Superquad7
Ain't a thing wrong with his awesome claw arm.
xanthax
First time for me, but they explained that it was an error and the actual price was the $50.
payton34
I was under the impression that if you preorder an item from BBTS for a certain price, if the price later goes up then you're still locked in at the previous (lower) price.
Is this the first time they've raised the prices on items that have already been preorded?
Stepper
Very nice repaint.
PikaManiac
It is an homage, its colour is supposed to suck. That is why it is good.
Stepper
They could have done better with the colour for G2 Meg,this colour suck
wildfly
AmiAmi appear to have higher prices listed for United BW Megatron and Primal than HLJ do. If you order them through HLJ…i'm wondering if the order will be honored.
GrimlockAutobot
I REALLY like the deco on BW Megs but, $50 is way too much for that figure.
