Stuartmaximus wrote:Ok....i just watched the SDCC vids....& a couple of things

1)i deffo want that Sharkticon(Gnaw) although? thought there may have been an Allicon too , also, strange no TM figs with them , like with Bee ect

2)liking the look of Sentinel Prime's mold repainted as Astrotrain! although still prefer to wait for the HasTak one

3)at first when the camera panned over to the F15 style looking jet....i thought we were getting Starscream! then....i realize it's Megs himself! although his jet mode & colours deffo look like Starscream, & he has a tank mode too! So....do you think they too inspiration from Cloud Starscream then

& finally.....Windblade....wait....whaa ....Windblade in the TR line? isn't she in that Machinima Combiner Wars series that's coming out? so is she CW? or TR? in fact she seems to be all 3! coz she's in RID as well.

One thing....i was a bit miffed that they didn't have Super Ginrai(PMOP with Godbomber) on display there(YES i know....it's not there coz it's not an official Hasbro product....well....at least not without Takara modifications! but....wouldn't there be some 3P prototypes on display at SDCC anyway?).

Have you forgotton about Blitzwing? The most famous tank/jet/robot Transformer? Megatron is obviously a precursor to Blitzwing coming from that mold.

You are greatly confused. "Super Ginrai" is not the name of any configuration with Godbomber. "God Ginrai" is super Ginrai combined with Godbomber. Takara's Super Ginrai is just a retool of Hasbro's Powermaster Optimus Prime with no Godbomber added.

And, no, of course Takara's Super Ginrai wouldn't be there. The figure was only just revealed in Japanese a magazine two days ago, and Takara doesn't go to San Diego Comic-Con, as they don't do toy reveals at events in the United States.

And, no, 3rd parties don't go showing off their new products at San Diego Comic-Con either. They are unofficial illegal entities who steal inspiration for their designs from official venues.

Madeus Prime wrote:Sawback *cough* Lione *cough* is kinda cool, but I feel it is an unnecessary figure. I mean, I love little recognized characters and all, but did we really need/want this guy? Unless they do a giftset with Kirk, Rodney, Loafer, Toraizer, and Shuffler, totally going to skip this dude.

No
No it does not
It's definitely blitzwing

Doesn't have any problem standing. He has fairly tight joints. The cockpit is that same soft plastic as the Hasbro version.

Noideaforaname wrote:THIS is what is 'supposed to' make Blitzwing's chest:

The raised cylinder is the back of the cockpit. Obviously Megatron doesn't use that for his chest, but rather the section immediately behind it, meaning the inevitable Blitzwing retool will that section of jet twice in a row:

I mean, it won't literally be the exact same, but it's going to be a rather conspicuous case of faux parts.

SillySpringer wrote:Also; replying to Madeus; I too think it would be awesome to for once get a Glyph retool. I can't remember the last time we actually had an official Glyph besides the G1 toy.

Yeah, but did they have to "waste" it on a character we all didn't know about? Why not make it Razorclaw?

Firstly, please speak for yourself please. Maybe you dont know about this guy, but avid G1 collectors do, especially since its one of the most sought after and rare figures from the G1 era (along with the white repaint of it, which goes fo even more money).

And I will tell you why not razorclaw, because this lion titan master set is homaging an actual headmaster, which is what many of these titan masters are doing.





This is without a doubt the best character/toy to homage is you want to make a lion themed headmaster. Especialy one that doesnt come with a body.

...Shuffler.

Tigertrack wrote:Some might even argue that this is the direction the little Titanmaster packs should go, rather than using names and likenesses of known big characters without the actual transforming bodies, like Brawn, Apeface, Nightbeat, Crashbash, etc. All are meant to have and are deserving of full transforming bodies that most likely are not coming. So instead of known characters, they could release head only characters like Lione, Trizor, Kirk, Elephadora (or whatever he was called) and the rest that had no bodies from japanese G1 lore, and make them the little TMs. Heck they could even make up more, new characters, which would make others feel better too, I imagine.

I imagine it will, to stay in line with the other Titans Return Leaders. A Quickswitch retool would be great as well.

On the topic of Titanmasters, while they didn't interest me at first but I may pick up a few because they seem like fun little figures. I like Crashbash and Lione the most out of the ones we've seen, and while I like Brawn (well, his vehicle) as well, I hope Hasbro still makes a larger Brawn figure at some point.

Rumours say that Brawn is getting a Legends figure in this line too.

The rumour was just that brawn was in the line, and it was then confirmed that he was... As a titanmaster. There is no current rumour of another brawl coming out. There is an old rumour from 2013 but the toy is probably cancelled now.

Anyone guess its a redeco of Legends Gears?

I really want to try to do the Galvatronus head swap from Cyclonus for CW on TR Galvy that was shown off in the last Creative round-up. I do believe it's a better head by leaps and bounds actually.

Are you talking about Galvatron or Override? Here's Galvy:

william-james88 wrote:Yeah, that really doesnt look good, that head is way too big. It looks super goofy. Thanks so much for the picture as that avoids me buying a cyclonus to attempt it. I guess the best fix so far is to use a silver sharpie on the titan master then glue the crown onto the back, if you want a rotating head that looks complete.
