Transformers Unite Warriors (トランスフォーマーユナイトウォリアーズ) is a 2015 TakaraTomy toyline, the Japanese counterpart to Combiner Wars. While most Combiner Wars figures were sold separately, Unite Warriors consisted entirely of boxed sets of complete combiners, often retooled and recolored to more "accurately" resemble the character's cartoon appearances.
Fiction
[edit]- Unite Warriors Offshot, a series of lighthearted illustrated short stories packaged with the toys.
- Unite Warriors Spin Off: "Decepticon Dark Commander Grand Scourge", a comic packaged with UW-EX Grand Scourge.
- A series of online manga published in the TakaraTomy Mall listings for their subline of exclusives:

[edit]Regular Retail
The normal retail Unite Warriors line had some pretty big gaps in its release schedule, including a six-month break halfway through. While this might seem odd, these gaps were filled by a number of exclusive sets sold online through TakaraTomy Mall (see below).

Post-Unite Warriors releases
[edit]The niche of boxed combiner teams with improved cartoon accuracy was followed up in TakaraTomy's Generations Selects lineup, although the Seacons were sold separately instead of in a giftset. The same Combiner Wars-styled connection joints are used in the Selects figures, allowing combiners between the two toylines to interchange limbs.
The Generations Selects Special Comic depicts five cross-team combiners depicted with both Unite Warriors and Generations Selects figures: White Convoy Grand Prime, Volcaticon, Comperian, Abomenaticus, and Scramble 7.

[edit]
- As a tie-in with the Unite Warriors release, the vintage manga special "Full Throttle Scramble Power!" was reprinted as an eBook by publisher Hero-X.
