SDCC 2013 Titan Guardians to See Single Pack Retail Release

Who's wants to buy less poseable Action Masters?

I actually kinda want these.

Most G1 designs always sucked ball bearings anyway, Megatron's in particular. They were basically stacks of cardboard boxes, and Megatron didn't even look like he transformed into anything. Also, the leader of the Decepticons transforming into a freakin' handgun is the stupidest idea ever. I mean, that's like making an Autobot who transforms into a microscope on tank treads...wait a minute...

Maybe they've realized that the "collector" fanbase will never be satisfied and will hate their products if as much as a single detail on them isn't accurate to the old cartoon (even if the character isn't even from the old cartoon) and are now targeting a much less unpleasable fanbase (that is to say, kids). Or maybe these are a tribute to sofubi/Jumbo Machniders.

Well, they're a heck of a lot better than the TF Prime or AOE ones. If it weren't for the ugly head on his shoulders, I'd perhaps consider buying Megatron on a really good sale or clearance. I believe the Rescue Bot ones are still the best so far.

These are a bit better than the oversized PVC KO that I have of Optimus and Megatron from the days of the blind-boxed SCF PVCs from Japan.

Not for me, I pass...

To the person who found them at retail: what's under the red sticker on the tag?

is the bumblebee a g1 like the rest or is it the beast hunters titan guardian?

thanks.

That person is not on this board. I am assuming it's Grimlock since he was the only one absent from the line up when mass retail was first announced.

They never made a G1 Bumblebee or Shockwave either and the tags were made for the retail versions and aren't the same as the Beast Hunters tags. I'm guessing at some point Hasbro had intended to do a series two with G1 versions of Bumblebee, Grimlock, Shockwave, and Wheeljack, and left the tag with Bee and Shockwave still listed because of the Beast Hunters figures.

Found all 4 at the local Big Lots in Lenoir, NC. They had several sets. My wife picked them up for me this evening and she said they still had 3 or 4 complete sets left. They are OP, Megs, SS and SW, like reported. Also can confirm the writing under the tag, as Grimlock and Wheeljack. They are simple but pretty cool for what they are, um, basically dust collectors! just joking! My only disappointment with them would be that smirk on SS's face, and Megatron's nose, which looks like OP must of broke it several thousand times for it to be so flat and yet so wide. It looks like an elongated hexagon stuck to his face! Oh, well!
