I really hope this person is just a bit dim and it's not actually that hard to put the headmasters in.

Having the voyager brainstorm, and with the small balljoints in the headmasters, I use extreme caution when interacting with the headmaster, so, I'll be just as cautious with these new ones...

Speaking of Voyager Brainstorm, I got him off the shelf in preparation for the return of the titans. He surprisingly made me even more excited for it! :D
I'll probably be displaying him at the back, I don't really mind that he's bigger. Still hope to get that deluxe, though...

It's a great figure; I'd be waiting for a TT release at this point, unless you get the sdcc set

But are you guys ok with him having a mouth instead of a faceplate? Because if takara does do him, they will surely give him the show accurate head.

Uh, yeah... I literally have no connection to him, not from the g1 cartoon, nor the japanesse one, nor the comics, so yeah - that plus the fact that it would further differentiate it from my voyager class one ;)

There's one thing to consider as a potential obstacle that could sway Takara against releasing Deluxe Brainstorm in the Legends line: They've already released a Brainstorm toy, the Voyager, in the Legends line previously. Unlike with Hasbro's constant revamping the Generations line with phase after phase of new themes, Takara's Legends line is all one and the same line with no such segments and phases. Takara might feel content with the previous Legends Brainstorm release and decide that releasing the Deluxe in the same line would be redundant.

...Unless they pull a LG-EX Rattle and release the Deluxe Brainstorm as another LG-EX style exclusive to make more special than the previous one, but I doubt many of us Westerners would find favor in that option.

I seem to remember a pic of Voyager Brainstorm using the head of the TR Deluxe. It was just resting there, didn't seem obviously connected. Remember RiD Megatron & Fortress Maximus? Same thing.

Or they could eventually release him in a later line like they did with a few generations toys in the TAV line.

Yeah, but, like with the LG-EX idea, I doubt many of us would like that option either, especially with folk wanting these Headmasterish toys NAO!!! :P

I thought that at first, but there's one very important thing to argue against that.
Takara's Voyager Brainstorm is not Headmasters-accurate.
They're giving Headmasters-accurate heads for everyone. Hardhead, Skullcruncher, Weirdwolf, Cerebros; all that jazz. And it'd be very weird for them to have Headmasters-accurate Deluxe Chromedome, Hardhead and Highbrow without a Headmasters-accurate Deluxe Brainstorm. The Voyager sticks out like a sore thumb.
It's not like it's without precedence anyway. If they wanna have Deluxe Brainstorm, they'll have Deluxe Brainstorm.
Re: Video Reviews of Titans Return Voyager Class Sentinel Prime and Astrotrain (1798980)
Posted by Rainmaker on June 19th, 2016 @ 5:11pm CDT
We've never actually had a Chromedome with his Rebirth head...

Also like the only head that changed was Brainstorm with his mouth, Hardhead maybe but his head changed a lot.

I think the fact there isn't one, especially with these early releases, is indicative that's probably not a problem. Much like the comboners of CW, the head master connection has to be dead solid seeing as its the entire point of the line.

Not a fan of the gimmick to begin with but making characters that weren't headmasters into headmasters kills the interest of the updates for me.

Well, I'm liking what I'm seeing. I am very much looking forward to the line. Astrotrain does look spectacular and I don't think I'll be disappointed, especially since he is one of my all time favorite cons!

And my Voyager Brainstorm will do very nicely. I didn't want the deluxe that bad anyway.

I'm personally a huge fan of the gimmick and I see giving the gimmick to those who never had it before as being like Optimus Prime becoming a Powermaster, Bumblebee, Grimlock, and Starscream becoming Pretenders, and most early G1 characters becoming Action masters, all in G1. I'm trying to say that I don't mind it too much.

I took another look at the 1988 Powermaster Optimus Prime, and I can see where the beige-gray coloring for the trailer comes from now. I appreciate that Hasbro did at least paint the "Powermaster/engine block" on the robot mode abdomen shiny silver, which is actually a nice nod to the Ginrai release from Takara, but a few more splashes of silver paint, such as on the pelvis, would've helped so much aesthetically AND increased the G1 toy accuracy as well. Though, I'm glad Hi-Q/Apex has blue eyes for the head and not red like the original toy. Sometimes G1 accuracy isn't the best route. Anyway, I'm warming up to this new Powermaster Optimus Prime, but I still might hold out to see how Takara does their "Super Ginrai/God Ginrai" version.

Yeah, I've got the feeling Takara's going whole hog to give us a God Ginrai instead of just Super Ginrai/Powermaster Optimus Prime. If so, it may convince me to double dip, using the Hasbro release as PMOP and the Takara-Tomy version as GG.

I like the look of Astrotrain's feet better in this video where he didn't rotate them around & just left them like Sentinels. Looks a lot less like clown feet that way. ;)^

Okay, so as much as I hate to have multiple figures of the same character, that Brainstorm looks so tasty, and it'll be nice to have him in scale with Perceptor so they can argue on my shelf.

Get the set and sell the ones you don't want. Since windblade is a new mold and the box set colors are different from the generations version I'm going to try to get it and pretend it's a different character. Brainstorm being a box set exclusive means that there will be more people selling her online hopefully cheaper too.
Making me probably the only person happy that he's exclusive. :DANCE:

I appreciate that Hasbro did at least paint the "Powermaster/engine block" on the robot mode abdomen shiny silver, which is actually a nice nod to the Ginrai release from Takara, but a few more splashes of silver paint, such as on the pelvis, would've helped so much aesthetically AND increased the G1 toy accuracy as well. Though, I'm glad Hi-Q/Apex has blue eyes for the head and not red like the original toy. Sometimes G1 accuracy isn't the best route. Anyway, I'm warming up to this new Powermaster Optimus Prime, but I still might hold out to see how Takara does their "Super Ginrai/God Ginrai" version.

They're doing quite a bit based on the leaked photo's; new feet/ankle tilt's, new lower legs, new arms...


Yeah, I've got the feeling Takara's going whole hog to give us a God Ginrai instead of just Super Ginrai/Powermaster Optimus Prime. If so, it may convince me to double dip, using the Hasbro release as PMOP and the Takara-Tomy version as GG.

But we need godbomber for god ginrai, though we do have that rumour about the deluxe.

Awwww. Shame Brainstorm is a con exclusive, would have liked to have him to fit in with the other 3. Still, glad I picked up the voyager now, so at least he'll exist in some form.

Do I have proof? Nope. But given how "exclusive" Takara Groove got an eventual release, no way will TT miss the opportunity to release another Brainstorm. Money is money. Mayhap it be retail and not an exclusive TomyMall. And a reverse for the domestic market too.

I wonder if G1 Cerebros (or even that Warden figure) is compatible with this Fortress? I know the G1 heads arent, but the big guy?

None are compatible. They can sit there (like any other object), but nothing locks in.

I wonder if Takara released Brainstorm with his mouth... and then Third Parties made a faceplated head for him.
Since it's just a head, that + TT Brainstorm probably wouldn't even end up scratching half of the SDCC boxset price.
