Wolfwire and Mindwipe are also featured, though both of whom have been thoroughly covered already here and here - though, it should be noted that these design specs prove that they will look like those seen at Botcon this year (which some figures do not sometimes)
So what do you make of these? Are you excited, tired of the leaks? Let us know in the comments below.

Getaway looks sick, glad I can skip Chromedome for him
Everything else isn't terribly impressive

Gonna have to disagree with you there, Doublecross and Megatron are looking mighty fine.Hellscream9999 wrote:Everything else isn't terribly impressive

Doublecross looks uninspired, and Megs looks alright - not bad, but nothing special, that might change when we finally see him though.

I want to see that Sixshot. Need to know if it's time to retire MMC's...

It's because his legs are blatantly hollow, that combined with the backpack filling in the blank space inbetween his arms and his body, gives him a bit of a distorted appearance

Happy to see a Voyager sized Megatron. If he gets reused as Blitzwing that's a bonus. Sixshot depends on size.

Unless the upcoming Hasbro version is a different size and you're REALLY picky about scale I wouldn't have thought so. I mean, no offence to HasTak (and bear in mind I don't actually own him) but I'm not sure it's actually possible to top Hexatron, short of a retool that got rid of some of the more egregious greebling.
Also, looking at the pictures of Megatron I like him less and less. He's weirdly top-heavy and his legs look very hollow- which would be bad enough on some random grunt, but on the goddamn MEGATRON is inexcusable. I'll stick with customizing my own.

I already have the 3rd party Sixshot, but I'll happily take this too.
You know, it'll never happen, but I kinda want Arcee with Daniel as a Headmaster. It was such a weird decision. I remain hopeful for a proper modern take ont he only Headmaster I had as a kid - Squeezeplay. Yes, I know he's going to come out - but only as a head. That really doesn't scratch my itch at all.

His arms are dragon necks, not totally sure what you expected. Shorter arms would make the alt mode look weird because the dragon would have stumpy necks .

Re: Megatron - I don't mind hollow legs from the back. But from the sides... That's what would kill it for me. Hopefully he seems somewhat better proportioned in person.
Re: Sixshot - my overwhelming preference is for official product, so Hasbro's Sixshot doesn't have to be better than Hexatron, he just has to be good. If he looks anything like the photo, looks good, and is leader class, Hexatron might have to go.

As long as the arms don't have Energon Shockblast-syndrome, I'm all for this guy.
Posted by Kurona on April 27th, 2016 @ 1:08pm CDT
AND DOUBLECROSS MAN! Does anyone else think that, like, he could be a Sinnertwin retool/pretool so that we get a combiner Abominus? That way they find a way to re-use the molds for Abominus to be viable and that would be AMAZING
AND I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE HERE TOO WHY IS TITANS RETURN DELIVERING SO HARD

Arm length is fine, monkey-arm syndrome refers to the inability to move the figures' elbows a certain way, a wrist swivel would've fixed everything. I do like the way they constructed his lower legs and feet though, pretty clever

Pretty damn sure we the public were never meant to see this it's obviously early art work and prototypes.
of course it's not going to look great it's like drawing the first one you do ain't going to be impressive.
Posted by Nemesis Maximo on April 27th, 2016 @ 1:15pm CDT
But Sixshot? THAT'S cool. Voyager Megs? Maybe. I just got the Classics one a week ago for the first time, and I'm not usually inclined to double dip on characters. If he's awesome though, I will.

Hot shot pics are just place holders.

I'm pretty sure that's just the classics one posted for reference. Notice that it says "Design TBD" in watermark - all that's saying is that they have an idea for Hot Rod.

And my reaction to a new Hot Rod/Rodimus I must see it now!!!

No, it's the design specs used for showing how to make them - plastic colors, where to place paint apps, etc., it uses the renders we've seen and these are as near a final product as we're gonna see, so yes, these can be judged. The only one that isn't finalized is the hot rod pic using placeholders.

Triggerhappy looks to be a massive retool of Highbrow. And he looks AMAZEBALLS. Also, integrated hand weapons? I need this guy in my life!
Megatron looks amazing, too. If he is indeed Voyager, I think I've just found my definitive Classics-style Megatron. So long, Nerftron!
Optimus looks nice, too, but as with Combiner Wars Optimus, I've no need for him.
Doublecross looks nice in robot mode, meh in beast mode. Will have to see more.
Anxious to see Rodimus. *prays for MTMTE style*
Getaway was predictable. If it weren't for his current standing in MTMTE, I'd like him more.
SIXSHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!

Yup, that he's a voyager with a tank barrel on his back and what looks like tailfins on his ankles, would seem to indicate that this is pretty accurate.
Posted by Talon523 on April 27th, 2016 @ 1:35pm CDT
I'd like all of the head masters and target masters from the 4th season remade. I've never been this excited for a line. Hope Misfire and Slugslinger are close behind.

Probably just the head - I'm not really seeing it, but that was classic
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on April 27th, 2016 @ 1:49pm CDT
It is incredibly good as it confirms my beloved Sixshot entering the fray. It also gives me Doublecross, which looks awesome. Also confirms hot Rod. *begins praying for MTMTE style please*
The bad thing though, is that with this, we now have the figures lined up for the whole next year basically, cause these guys are probably wave 1 2017, and that is just too far in advance to see these guys. Really is spoiling the fun.

Actually that was speculation not an actual rumor that they put out. But honestly a more likely candidate for his retool would be Flywheels. We just got a decent blitzwing not that long ago and we're getting a Flywheels head so if the rumor of heads getting full bodies is true then he will most likely take that spot.

I would prefer Flywheels out of this anyway. And that is more likely considering this whole line is 86 movie forwards so far (well, save like 5)

I was too young when G1 first started, so I really sort of missed out on the initial series. Powermaster OP was MY Optimus Prime, and seeing all these homages to the later G1 toys speak directly to my personal nostalgia. Awesome.

It is kind of funny though, that this mega leak came out a few days after some people were complaining about the leaks.

Pretty darn sure that the decos themselves are not finished if you look at getaway for example he has two different color schemes in bot and alt mode.
The molds themselves are probably finished but I don't think this is 100% what the toys will look like especially since their workplace leaks we are not meant to see.

I get if if this is early art work, but the coloring is a much different style than the coloring on any of the other titans return packaging we've seen.

It might just be a mid-line change of style? That's what happened with 2013-onwards; Trailcutter and them had some pretty similar Art styling a, but by the time it got to Arcee it got different.
