The Hot Rod is meant to be inspired by the scene where he catches the matric in sickbay

UN28-30 were never released in Japan with their corresponding lines.
Actually none of the others, bar Rodimus, have been out before.

Will any of these be getting Western releases?

If the colours are correct all of them bar Tap Out and Thunder Megatron have had western releases.

Thoughts:
UN-23 Rodimus Convoy (RTS Rodimus)
Somewhat inevitable after the Henkei Rodimus re-release in the rest of Asia. Be interesting to see what they do to him.
UN-24 Warpath
Not released in United, so predictable
UN-25 Tank Megatron (Purple Classics dlx Megatron)
There's somereal Archforce love in Japan at the moment what with this and the EZ Chronicles figure. I saw it and went squeee but now I've had time to think I've remembered that the 2 pack Megatron isn't that good, that I've ordered the EZ-Chroronicles box and that I own Archforce.
Archforce in green? I'd have been there like a shot.
UN-26 Decepticons Thunderwing
Wasn't released in Japan bgefore because, I thought, Thunderwing was never released there and to be honest I'm a little surprised to see it and not Black Shadow here
UN-27 Wind Charger & Decepticons Wipeout
Windcharger was obvious. A second Windcharger in the same pack? Hmmmm. A Windcharger repaint that isn't the obvious Tailgate? Hmmmm. A black evil Decepticon twin? Sold.
UN-28 Axalon (Energon Cybershark)
Cybershark's never been released in Japan but it's an old toy so it's appearance, possibly as an Autobot spaceship as the name suggests, is an odd one. But it's a decent toy and the appearance of older moulds in United opens up some possibilities: Energon Slugslinger packed with Armada Over Run as Targetmaster Slugslinger for a start.
UN-29 Ark Unicron (Cybertron dlx Unicron)
As I said above why have we not noticed that Unicron's tank boody is the Ark before? I'd be tempted here to have followed the Animated hint and turned this toy into an Omega Supreme Ark. The pricing of the toy indicates we may not have seen everything in the package yet....
UN-30 Optimus Primal (BW 10th Anniversary Optimus)
UN-31 Beast Megatron (BW 10th Anniversary Megatron)
Neither of these have had a Japanese release before and it's always good to see Beast Wars toys. At the time I wasn't so fond of these but now, after passing on them twice in the US, I'm willing to give them a go.

The BW Megatron was used for Botcon Cindersaur. It's not that bad.

I enjoy the mould and in proper BW Megatron colours it looks good. Primal is an odd one decent toy, but a very strange update.

shame the toy is so bad. I have the original and will shortly have the legend. I can live without this.

But they're fun wee toys! Until the end of time I will never understand the hate for them.
That Prime is far superior to the Voyager sized one, for starters.

I don't think that they are terrible toys. I think they do better as a two-pack where they cover for each others weaknesses (Megatron has a good vehicle mode to Prime's rather misshapen one for example). I don't actually own either of them because they didn't really reach out of the pack to grabe me, but there are far worse toys around.

While I don't own the two pack I stand with Burns. Both quite nifty toys. Think an Archforce may need to be acquired.

Any chance of Hasbro releasing the figures such as Archforce Megatron that haven't had Western releases?
