Takara Tomy has brand-new figures as part of their Transformers United line, which include UN-23 Rodimus Prime, UN-24 Warpath, UN-25 Tank Megatron, UN-26 Thunderwing, and UN-27 Windcharger vs Decepticon Wipeout. The figures are a nice combination of Hasbro's release under various lines, including their Universe 2.0 (and Classics before that), Generations, and various figures released under the Transformers Hunt For the Decepticons line and the generic Transformers line after that. The figures released were all acquired by the Alfes blog and have posted galleries to all of them. We have snagged highlights of each toy and offered them in the gallery, but be sure to check the "Source" section for all of the links.
