Fellow Seibertronians, Shanghai's Cybertron Con is in full swing with reveals. Thanks to 52Toys, we now get to see Titanmaster Fangry and Ptero (Fangry looking fairly horrifying with his head-in-belly beast mode) as well as legends class Kickback, deluxe class Hotrod with Firedrive, and voyager class Optimus Prime with Diac. Optimus is now sporting a very Octane-esque triple-changing body. All of these are new molds, so check them out and let us know what you think of them in the comments below.

"Submarine" mode kinda makes me think of the Decepticon ship/underwater base from the cartoon, thanks to the huge tail fin.

I count 6. Tank and Battle Car look the same to me. There was text saying station mode that might have been tank mode, I think, but no picture depicting that. And the display appears to only showing 5 modes, the one tank mode/station mode not showing in the display, that I see. So, the six modes are, I think:
Robot
Submarine (Upside down gun mode to get past US toy gun laws? o_O )
Spaceship
Winged
Battle Car
Tank mode/Station Mode?

About time we got a Legends Kickback! Though now I want a Head-Louse-Master Insecticon to go with, given he's got space for a passenger now.
Kinda want to get Fangry purely because of the Krang-esque face-stomach thing.

Fellow Seibertronians, Shanghai's Cybertron Con hot on the heels of the reveal of Leader Class Sixshot, we now get much a much better look at this highly anticipated figure. Thanks to 52Toys, we can now see Sixshot in all of his glorious seven modes! Now sporting an updated: spaceship, tank, beast, submarine and battle station mode. His Titanmaster has been revealed to be named Revolver. So check out the images and let us know what you think of Sixshot in the comments below.

I'm thinking they screwed up the labels and left out the Station mode picture. He's Leader class so there should be a base mode like the other Leaders. If you look closer you'll notice he has ramp connectors on his wings.

That's okay I wasn't even thinking about it like that at all. I was so excited when I first saw them that I didn't even notice that. Yeah so that we can have two autobot bases and two decepticon bases. Plus he is a leader so he would have to have some sort of base mode.

Sixshot totally stole the show, lol. I sense he'll be like Ultra Magnus and'll play hard-to-get.
Kickback is amazing, even with his slightly goofy proportions. I'm just happy they followed up on their promise of completing the original Insecticons!
*dumps Reveal the Shield Hot Rod at the sight of Titans Return Hot Rod* Freaking finally, a decent Hot Rod!
Fangry is terrifyingly adorable. He'll look good next to the Titans!
Ptero, while a pass, looks cool. I'd like to see who'd he would be potentially redecoed into.
Initially wanted to pass on Optimus in the hopes of him getting retooled and redecoed as Octane/Tankor, but... damn, he looks way better than I anticipated. He's going to be hard to say no to. Octane/Tankor, like Blitzwing, is bound to happen, sure, but Optimus actually looks bitchin'...

Fellow Seibertronians, Shanghai's Cybertron Con is churning out the reveals, as we now get much a much better look at Titans Return Deluxe class Hot Rod and Voyager class Optimus Prime. Thanks to 52Toys, we get a great look at the upcoming triple-changing Optimus, along with a great look at his head design, and the extremely anticipated Hot Rod figure, so check them out and let us know what you think of them in the comments below.

It's awesome that they molded air intakes on the side of the plane cockpit within the tanker 
If the wings were wider, it's be a no-brainer, as it is, I need better pics for a better sense of scale/proportion

Obvious-Octane-is-obvious.
Octane and Kickback is the best news.
In general, Titans Return has not thrilled me, mostly because of the gimmick I don't care much about. But if we can Voyager+Titan Master versions of the original six Triple Changers (so that they match) Titan Masters will have all been worth it for me.

What's wrong with Prime being a triple changer?
While not the exact same deco placement Optimus and Starscream have always had the exact same colors of red, blue, white and some black/grey.
You might not like it and thats fine but I don't get how it's stupid...

I believe that's a non-production color prototype.
I think he means that that the jet/tanker truck and tank/fighter jet should have been released as Octane and Blitzwing first, rather than later. Call it a spoiler for the ones who are know-it-alls when it comes to Triple Changers. Speaking of spoilers:
Hey there, Blitzwing, like your new job?

At first I was like, what's up with Hot Rod's hollow guns?
Then I saw the two ports on the roof of the alt mode. So when you peg them in, they form a manable cannon for a Titan Master. I like it!

Ok FINE! I'll get that Kickback! I'm glad he's the same scale as Generations Shrapnel and Combiner Wars Bombshell. To be honest, I also like that he's also styled differently. If they tried to match what they did with either Shrapnel or Bombshell, then one of them would look out of place. But since all three of them are different from each other it works! And I'm NOT getting that Optimus, but I WILL get the Octane repaint! As for the triple changer Megatron... I'm REALLY tempted to get it, because it looks AMAZING!

Everything that has just been revealed is making me grin ear to ear right now! I absolutely love everything that has been revealed! That Optimus is really neat, but it is super obviously Octane. Fangry is so terrifyingly adorable that I just can't pass him up. I also decided I was going to buy every Titanmaster just because they're so cheap, so him and Ptero are definite buys, anyway. Speaking of Ptero, he's nothing special, but I do like him and more heads to swap around is always good! 
Hot Rod looks amazing! I also don't own a single version of Classics Rodimus, so this is perfect for me! Kickback is great for those who want to complete their Legends Class Insecticons team, but I never bought Legends Class Bombshell and Shrapnel, so I might pass on Kickback. Sixshot definitely stole the show! He is a definite buy for me! The Destron Ninja Consultant shall finally be in my collection!

Hot Rod looks pretty good. I'll get him. Anything to get that damned Classics version off my shelf.
Kickback is a Godsend. Now I need to get a hold of Skrapnel and Bombshell.
Sixshot is oh so pretty. I'm so pumped about his release.
Okay, so can somebody get me the pic of Fangry's so-called horrifying beast mode? I missed it in all the reveals and am too buzzed to be bothered to look for it further.

I don't mind them reverse milking a mode by releasing the offbeat character deco before the one the fan base really wants. sentinel and megatron are definite passes. At least I know I will probably own those moulds when the more desirable decos get out and not suffer the remorse of missing out.
Sentinel, megatron and now Optimus prime are all definite passes. Astrotrain blitzwing and now octane 2.0 will definitely make it to the collection.
What bothers me is someone like prime who though we are used to an over abundance of releases has come to a bit of a ridiculous point with combiner wars, powermaster prime, and now laser prime released so close to each other. Pffft. Oh well the more they release the better I guess.
Undecided regarding hot rod. Six shot is more awesome than I could've hoped for. From the original leaked artwork I couldn't tell he'd even be a stix changer so yep.
But kickback.... Finally I can have a complete insect icons teaaaaam. Hurrah.

I don't have a problem with Prime being a triple changer, I just don't understand why they don't just release the original characters first, THEN do the repaints. It's clearly obvious who they're supposed to be.
This
is an incredibly half-assed looking plane.
And looking at it more, the colours also remind me of G2 Windrazor.

You might not like it and thats fine but I don't get how it's stupid...

I don't think the plkane mode looks bad at all. I mean, it definitely couldn't fly, but how many plane modes in Transformers or most mecha Anime look like they could fly, anyway? It just looks like an average mecha series plane mode or Ultraman jet to me.

I'm not keen on Optimus' plane mode, perhaps if the wings were longer and further forward it would look better, but as it is it looks awkward. I'm impressed with very other reveal though, Hot Rod and Kickback will be bought on sight (I'll need to grab a Thrilling 30 Shrapnel and Combiner Wars Bombshell at some point too), Fangry and Ptero look great, and while Sixshot's alt modes do look a bit weird (visible beast mode head on the submarine) most of them look G1 accurate so I imagine a lot of fans will love it.

I have to give it to Hasbro on this one, they really did it correctly. No cut corners, all 6 or 6 modes.

Eh, I just got Bombshell and Chop Shop on Amazon. I have enough rewards points saved with my credit card that it didn't really cost me a dime. I'll just repaint Chop Shop.
Plus, Prime Shiiping is happily appropriate for any transformers purchSe there.

I was gonna ask if Skrapnel was really that tough to get ahold of, then I checked prices. Wow. Guess I got him while the getting was good.
I hope Kickback is a slightly different shade of purple and yellow than the previous two as well just so it's evenly uneven decos on all three.

I swear if there isn't a recolor of Laser Prime into Scourge then I'll... I'll.. I don't know, but it better happen!

My opinions
Fangry: Woo! a Wilder to join Cancer and Bullhorn for the full masterforce decepticon junior squad. A better looking beastie mode than any of the other titan masters so far IMO. Or at least more faithful.
Ptero: Neat? I feel like he's missing the obligatory command horn dealie of your traditional swoop. Good vehicle mode, but doesn't really fit anywhere for me, so he's an easy Pass
KICK-EFFING-BACK: About GOD DAMN TIME. I'm a little sceptical of the bot mode, but this is an absolute instant buy. Nice of hasbro to listen to my responses in the feedback survey from Auto Assembly last year!
Hot Rod: Neat. Not WOW AMAZING, but definitely a better effort than the current classics deluxe mold. Will definitely pick him up. Might hold out for a takara version in a nice magenta if that surfaces at any point.
Octanimus Prime:
Gorgeous. I really like Octane as a character and I'm dying for this to get a good retool into him. I will probably skip the Prime version, as there's not really a slot for it in my collection. Doesn't tick the right boxes for me. Still looks like a brilliant figure. I would definitely pick it up in a RiD scourge or a Lazer Prime decco.
I might have been more convinced to pick it up if it didn't totally miss the opportunity for a handsome nod to action master prime in the jet mode decco.
Six Shot:
SOLID looking. The original was already a really well proportioned figure. This looks like it's just more of the same, but with more articulation. Though it does look slightly less sturdy than the original, at least to my eyes, but that's probably a judgement best held over until I have him in hand. Which I will definitely be doing!
older reveals:
Megatron: Needs more silver paint. Whether I repaint him myself though is entirely dependent on what takara offers up in terms of decco. Literally cannot figuratively wait for the inevitable blitzwing.
Bumbles: Cool. Major repaint mileage potential, but will definitely replace the FOC styled bee currently residing on my '84 CHUG autobot shelf.
Gnaw: I'm going to be buying at LEAST 3 of those mischeivous looking little buggers.
Lione: Instabuy for his Steeljaw homage mode. Love the obscure headmasters character reference of the head mode. What's not to love here.
Overboard: Instabuy for obscure soundwave tape homage. Will look killer sitting next to FOC Soundblaster & Masterpiece Ratbat on the old Headmaster Era Decepticon shelf.
All-in-All TR is shaping up to be an absolute wallet destroyer of a line. Every mold has looked fantastic and has been another "OOH I NEED HIM" moment. I have actually been motivated to reorganise my shelves ahead of time for all the junk I intend to buy.
Though that said, I could do without the wallet pain. At least Combiner wars had a fair few 'Take it or leave it' figures to give me a moment to catch my breath financially. But so far there's a list of 9 deluxes, 6 voyagers, 2 leaders, at least 8 titan masters, 6 legends figures and another god damn titan on the horizon that I want, and I need to find the money for. I do NOT want to do that math.
