So they're making a difference between base stats and stat boosts given by the Titan Master. Cool beans. Kinda like what One Must Fall 2097 did.

Nice of them to actually put something on the back of the card now.
Wait, Wolfwire is already maxed out at 10 for intelligence before being boosted by Monxo to 15? And yet his fire power is only a 3 despite the huge gun and those missile pods on his arms and the big sword? Did they mix these stats up?

Apart from the feet this is pretty much exactly what the toy looks like.

I'm kind of glad they're doing away with the comics. I really like the cards that come with everyone right now (minus the deluxes) and adding the Tech Specs make these new ones even better. Do we know if these will come with the Titan Masters too?

I always wanted a toy of the Pyros as a kid.
Any mention of Hasbro selling Titans with no Masters, so we can mix and match the cheap sets with them?

The stat cap has been raised to 20, which could mean an expansion of the old ratings, or a completely new scale. If the latter is true, it makes Weirdwolf's "10" for intelligence more like a old "5," which isn't too far off, though I do have to wonder how much intelligence Monzo really brings to the outfit to boost that up to a "7.5". The rescaling does make Weirdwolf's firepower that much more pathetic, though.

I fancied the Shredder more, myself.
As in, bodies without heads? That would be like selling sandwiches without the bread... wait, they actually do that?

Yeah, it's close...I mean, it kinda has to be. But for whatever reason the art and toy don't have the same...what's the word...'oomph'? I dunno, the art just seems a lot cooler to me, and I'd love to have that, even if it's just a statue or something.

I feel art will always look cooler. I am a big comic book guy and one of the coolest shots ever is this:
And they made a statue of that exact shot but you cant replicate the shadows or cross hatching so some of the texture is lost:
You will notice that most TFs (and comic book statues) look way cooler at the design stage, thats just how things go and its a reason to treasure the art as its own beauty that cant be replicated elsewhere.

Fair point. I'm still a little disappointed, but not as much so. Thanks for the new perspective.

Takara's Cloud line used a 20-point scale for the same reason...the difference being that TM uses an actual feature of the toy (as opposed to some element of the fiction).
As for WW, if anyone is an idiot savant, it's that guy.

I don't think it's meant to be a new scale. (Note that Stripes uses the standard 10-point system.) From what I see, each color represents the individual characters' stats; they add together when they combine. They had to put more on the end because, if they didn't, everyone would be maxing 3 or 4 of their stats (which is apparently Fort Max's thing).Wolfman Jake wrote:Emerje wrote:Nice of them to actually put something on the back of the card now.

Yes - bodies without heads. With a slightly generic colour scheme so they'll fit anything.
