Fellow Seibertronians, it would seem that the Titans Returns line is trying to break some sort of record for releasing its figures. Wave 1 and wave 2 are quickly making their way to various parts of our markets around the world, and now wave 3 is surfacing with these new images coming from Baidu. This is actually the very first time we see two of these toys. This new wave - comprising the newly renamed (and awesomely might I add) Twinferno with Daburu, it also includes Breakaway with Throttle, Triggerhappy with Blowpipe, and Hot Rod with Firedrive - So check them out, and let us know what you think of them in the comments below.

Don't think so. I think it was assembled by someone with a d***-tail fetish.

Oh hey, Twinferno keeps his new name from that blind bag thingy. Which is nice because it's a GREAT name.

Hot Rod looks absolutely beautiful as usual... not sure about Triggerhappy's face. Paint looks a bit off there. Either way both are easy pick-ups :D

I have him as a Cybertron toy already, I will already have this mold as Chromedome, and most of all, he is a @#%#@% Q#% Q#%Q$% $^$W^&&% ##!% in the comics, so I hate him and his cybertron toy is worthy of his status

Also, bit of a note about the names - Blowpipe and Firedrive are obviously the same as G1 (Firedrive just being the oh-no-we-lost-the-copyright version of Firebolt), but Daburu and Throttle are new.

Getaway's Powermaster partner in G1 was called Rev... but what makes this name change notable is that Throttle was the name of one of the two Decepticon Powermasters; Darkwind. I'm tempted to say it's a bit like how 'Nightstick' was thrown onto pretty much every single Targetmaster a few years back just because they couldn't go around scrambling for copyrighted names for Targetmaster partners, but this one is especially notable considering Getaway's... recent morally dubious antics.

Daburu is basically Japanese for double. Not sure where the randomly using Japanese words for guys now comes from - especially since Doublecross barely had a few cameos in Headmasters - but I like it!

I'll likely be skipping chromedome for him, as he looks cooler, and has a more interesting personality, I love the anti-hero :BOT:'s

In all honestly, while i love Hot Rod (and really need him) and Triggerhappy, Twinferno is my most anticipated deluxe of the wave (though Sixshot clearly takes the cake on most anticipated)

TWINFERNO is a must-have!!

And this Hot Rod will be my first version of him, honestly. I think I've finally forgiven him for getting Prime killed in The Movie. ;)

Hot Rod's my most anticipated purely because IDW Rodimus is currently my favourite Transformers character period. It's also why I'm really anticipating Nightbeat, Megatron and Nautica (my second, third and fourth favourite of MTMTE respectively).

Go for it mate; he's a pretty fun character once you get passed Hasbro's amazingly shoddy and ham-handed way of introducing him ;)

Really though! I could never accept him as the new Autobot leader, either, but I swear it wasn't me who protested Prime's death by locking myself in a room for weeks. ;)

But yeah, I've only recently started buying Transformers again, thanks to Combiner Wars (and my kids finally being old enough to "get it")....always liked the concept, even if I got sick of the retooling!

Meh! they're just heavy retools or repaints of existing molds

Triggerhappy......heavy retool of either Highbrow or Brainstorm

Breakaway.....obviously just a repaint of Chromedome(albeit probably with a new TM head! if it's not just the same one)

Twinferno......looks like a heavy retool of a Deluxe CW figure? hmmm...prob either Alpha Bravo or one of the other Arielbots or something :-?

Hot Rod......again! looks like a heavy retool of a CW figure.....my guess.....someone like the Ironhide/Trailbreaker mold

I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not, but only Breakaway is derived from any previous mold. The others are completely new.

Good call on the names, Kurona, you'll soon end up like me and Sabrblade :lol: One thing though: it's TRADEMARK :HEADHURTS:

Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine when people use "copyright" for "trademark"... :oops:

"Daburu" is a creative way of circumventing trademark problems, as "Double" may be considered too generic of a moniker and thus undesirable as a trademark. We have too many "Double-"s as it is:

Doubledealer
Doubleheader
Doublecross
Doubleclouder
Double Clutch
Double Punch
Double Face

And wouldn't you know it, ThrottleRev is yet another retool of poor Stylor, counting Japanese releases it'll be nr. 5!

Nah...c'mon! are you trying to tell me that Triggerhappy doesn't look like he's been retooled from Highbrow? or even Brainstorm?

with Twinferno.....you can tell by the molding of the torso it certainly looks like it's been retooled from someone like Alpha Bravo

with Hot Rod it's around the arms & legs....deffo looks to me like the retooled arms & legs from the CW Ironhide/Trailbreaker mold.

i dunno if anyone else noticed that, or maybe i'm going senile :roll:

If you're trying to make it obvious it's a joke I'm afraid you just confused me more. Tone's just a bit hard to communicate over the internet without a really obvious wink or something.
But no, I can't see a single similarity between them and what you're saying they're retooled from.

... well, if you aren't joking, then I suppose this means one of two things. Either that you really need to go back to bed and get a lot more sleep, or you must be congratulated for somehow achieving a higher sense of cynicism about Hasbro and mold re-use than Ironhidesh.

Seriously, go back and look at the toys you're comparing them to. They hold nothing in common aside from... I guess a few shapes in places, alt-modes and a bipedal body structure? At which point we might as well say CW Hook is a retool of Cybertron Mudflap.

There are some superficial resemblances between Triggerhappy and Highbrow and Brainstorm, but they end there.

Stuartmaximus wrote:with Twinferno.....you can tell by the molding of the torso it certainly looks like it's been retooled from someone like Alpha Bravo

Twinferno is clearly an entirely original mold. None of the aerialbots transform like that.

with Hot Rod it's around the arms & legs....deffo looks to me like the retooled arms & legs from the CW Ironhide/Trailbreaker mold.


Hot Rod doesn't resemble the Offroad/Ironhide/Trailbreaker mold at all, I don't know what you're seeing.

The titan's return figures seem, so far to have very few tells as to the whether or not their retools of each other. So far going off of the few TR figures out, the most sure fire way of seeing what's a retool and what's not is by looking what hasn't been retooled. Chromedome, Blurr, Brainstorm, and Getaway are all retools/pretools of each other, the few notable similar parts are the central chest assembly, the gun, and the Headmaster. Highbrow and scourge share the same waist assembly and headmaster man that's about it. I think there's a certain point where the pretool is it's own figure; Blurr and chromedome, Scourge and Highbrow being the best example of how separate the pretools are.

The Blurr and Chromedome molds are completely separate. They only share certain parts and weapons - as you stated. That's not retooling, that's parts-sharing; a rather new phenomenon that is very far removed from the very nature and concept of retooling.
Scourge and Highbrow, arguably, are simply shared engineering rather than a retool.

Too be fair those parts are exactly the same, it not like an energon Starscream G2 smokescreen situation.

Chromedome, Blurr, Brainstorm, and Getaway are all retools/pretools of each other, the few notable similar parts are the central chest assembly, the gun, and the Headmaster. Highbrow and scourge share the same waist assembly and headmaster man that's about it. I think there's a certain point where the pretool is it's own figure; Blurr and chromedome, Scourge and Highbrow being the best example of how separate the pretools are.

The Blurr and Chromedome molds are completely separate. They only share certain parts and weapons - as you stated. That's not retooling, that's parts-sharing; a rather new phenomenon that is very far removed from the very nature and concept of retooling.
Scourge and Highbrow, arguably, are simply shared engineering rather than a retool.


Too be fair those parts are exactly the same, it not like an energon Starscream G2 smokescreen situation.

They are the same parts, of course; but again, they're not retools. It's parts-sharing, which also again is a rather new thing for Transformers. We've had a lot of discussions about it on this thread but the bottom line is that they can't be classified as retools just because they have certain parts, weapons and Titan Masters in common.

Twinferno is clearly an entirely original mold. None of the aerialbots transform like that.


but neither does Fort Max! & he's a retoo...erm...parts sharing from Metroplex! & both of those figs don't transform in exactly the same way

speaking of Fort Max! when it was first announced...i didn't see people calling it PARTS SHARING! mostly the word that was used(at the time) was RETOOL but i guess whatever you prefer to call it, they all serve the same function >:oP

I'll take it ;)^ at least it's not a straight up no!
oh & btw...i love that superficial resemblances word ;) i guess it takes the sting out of using a word like retool.


mind you...there seems to be a few superficial resemblances used of late

Blurr/Brainstorm
Sentinel/Astrotrain
Blaster/Soundwave
Crashbash/Clobber
Terri-Bull/Skytread
Chromedome/Breakaway

& no doubt the one's upcoming


Broadside/Tidal Wave
Sixshot/Quickswitch
Op Prime/Octane
Megatron/Blitzwing

Hm, pass on Twinferno (how does Inferno feel about that name?), he looks very dull for a monster.
Triggerhappy looks decent.
Breakaway not sure.
Hot Rod... hmmm I need to see the Takara version first. Liking the car mode. The segment cut out of the stomach area in robot mode really bugs me though. The engine block looks really dull and undetailed and the grey 'ears' seem very unusual for him. The way they fit him into that packaging does him no favours though cos his spoilerwings are one of his usual features and in the package it's all draped down like a cape. :P

Getaway's Powermaster partner in G1 was called Rev... but what makes this name change notable is that Throttle was the name of one of the two Decepticon Powermasters; Darkwind. I'm tempted to say it's a bit like how 'Nightstick' was thrown onto pretty much every single Targetmaster a few years back just because they couldn't go around scrambling for copyrighted names for Targetmaster partners, but this one is especially notable considering Getaway's... recent morally dubious antics.

Daburu is basically Japanese for double. Not sure where the randomly using Japanese words for guys now comes from - especially since Doublecross barely had a few cameos in Headmasters - but I like it!


【DABURU ダブる】
You can probably tell from its sound, but this katakana word is taken from the English word “double.” It differs in that in Japanese, it’s used only as a verb, but its meaning is also derived from the English word. In Japanese, it has the meaning of “to compound” or “to duplicate” and has a negative tone.

Kind of like when you say someone has double billed you for a single item.

Well personally I though Doublecross was the better name, but Twinferno works too.

But seriously. Daburu? Double in a thick Japanese accent? Is Hasbro even trying anymore? Also, I notice that Doublecross/Twinferno suffers from "AOE Dinobot Bicep Curling Arms Syndrome". That sucks.

My favourite part is that it looks like his massive vehicle mode cannons can fold over his wrists in place of his hands in robot mode. I do miss him having a targetmaster, but who the hell needs that with this loadout?!

HEADCANON: One head is Twinferno and the other head is Doublecross

Regardless, he's the very first full-bodied Headmaster that demands my attention. Here's hoping those apparent seams right below the shoulder pads means the dragon heads can rotate around.

Triggerhappy's looking rather nice, too. Dunno if I quite *need* him, but I'll keep my eye on him, certainly.
His alt really makes me think of FoC Starscream...

Oh wow, didn't notice that! If he can do that and fold his arms up against his shoulders like Demolishor, he'll be a definite purchase for me.

Yeah I'd kinda like the cards; TR's are so much better than CW's. I mean I have a weird affection for the cards anyway so I even liked the inaccurate ones I got with Streetwise and Hot Spot, but TR's tech specs and Titan Master stuff give them a cool purpose. They're great.

Gotta admit, "Twinferno" is a really catchy name.

If there is a Speed and Strength Pack coming out sometime in the next few months - does that mean that the might do an Endurance and Fireblast pack too.

Also what do you good people think of the rumour of Hot Rod being remoulded into Cyclonus ?

This is the first wave of deluxes that I might just go full Hasbro. They all look really good. Personally I like Doublecross better than his new name, but it's still a good name.

And RAR i could definitely see two more box sets coming out. Combiner wars had 7 box sets of their own so I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to have at least two more.

As for the retool discussion, obviously all these molds are retools! Just open your eyes people they share so many similarities. I mean you can't tell me that a two headed dragon has NOTHING in common with a racecar. You're all living in denial if you think otherwise. /s
