Remember the last post about the upcoming Unite Warriors Defensor with Groove will be included in the original team line up. Well, wait no more: that's because its confirmed that Groove will be in the set as an arm or leg of Defensor.

In the shown image taken from the latest issue of Figure-Oh magazine, we can see that Groove will be released as a Deluxe figure rather than a legends class figure which was previously released in the Combiner Wars line. The Groove figure will be a new mold judging on its design, and the vehicle mode looks sexy. UPDATE: Added new clearer images of Groove courtesy of TFW2005.

The question now remains whether Hasbro plans to bring the Deluxe Groove figure Stateside like Wildrider and Slingshot had or will he be a TakaraTomy only exclusive figure? Only time will tell. Unite Warriors Defensor is slated for November release and priced at 16,200 Yen. Thanks to TAG Hobby for the news.
