Rant moment:

This person has all of the images in their entirety. They are, for some reason, leaking them because they .. I dunno.. want to feel relevant to the fandom in some way. We know where the images are, media outlets already have all of them, and WE ARE ALL KEEPING TO THE EMBARGO DATES. But nnoooooooo, let's leak half-arsed crops and tinkered low-res ones, because issues. MBLFGLASLfdfsdgsfdfhedrd



End rant. Carry on.

Funny how you never share those images with staff OUTSIDE of the News Crew.

Brainstorm through and through. Do I really need another one? Hell yes

I dont, especially if this is a retool (which it seems to be).

Curious to see how they will integrate that jet nosecone in what was once a car.

Well, Brainstorm is one of my Top 3 Favorites, so hell yes even if he is a retool. And I too look forward to seeing the nosecone difference from the car to jet

Do you like him from IDW? Because if so, I have a feeling this is more about the G1 character than it is the IDW version, which is what the voyager was.

The TR Brainstorm rumor from the Transmissions Podcast came out in November last year. Does this mean, you guys also have been sitting on these images since that time?

[Generator_G1]

All they need to do is to either release a newer version of Primus and Unicron or rerelease the older versions in G1 colors and the big city/planet bots are set for newer fans / collectors.

Yes! finally someone that agrees that there should've been a Unicron in the Titan Wars

or even a Primus

I never got the 25th anniversary Unicorn and Primus when they were out on retail. And they are now prohibitively expensive on the secondary market where I'm at. It would be most welcome for me and I'm sure other collectors if Hasbro released them again.

I think I'd like the voyager better. I think Brainstorm looks better with a faceplate.

[Stuartmaximus]

Omega, Scorponok and Trypticon are heavy hitters, those guys you mentioned? Not so much...like at all

y'know i am gonna quote this...in about 20 years time.....when Hasbro finally decide to release Chela & Carcer figures....in whatever line exists then

i really like both. the Rebirth is what hooked me on the character (his name is frikkin Brainstorm and I like smart guys) and IDW has only expanded it, so I'm good with both

In the american appearance of him, he had a faceplate

If you visit my Deviantart page you'll figure out that I like IDW MTMTE Brainstorm a lot.


He's just too friggin awesome! I still am trying to decide on getting that Gen figure of him.

I really doubt they will, but if they do its probably because we'll have seen many, many other titan class figures and maybe even new versions of the ones we got. Also I don't know why you're making a big deal over this?

At least the discussion has moved on from the colour of astrotrain now since it seems to have swung in direction of grey

[Dr. Caelus]

Brainstorm? A character who turns into a jet fighter retooled(?) from a character who turns into a car (without visible changes to the mold below the waist), after just getting the headmaster treatment a year ago...?

I said before I thought Blur would be a good base for Moonracer, and the colors in this image are consistent with that. Consider her IDW appearance:

[Gearslide]

I'm kinda confused as to why people think a Deluxe Brainstorm won't have a faceplate. I get that he didn't have one in his animated appearance in the G1 cartoon, but Hasbro very rarely seems to go for cartoon accuracy (In fact, that's Takara's specialty: Just look at UW Bruticus).

Hasbro seems to favor G1 Toy accuracy (Just look at the last few Hasbro iterations of Soundwave and his Yellow Visor), then comic accuracy, THEN Cartoon. The red knee decals seem to be a giveaway as to a G1 toy accurate Brainstorm. He didn't have red on his knees in the Headmasters Cartoon as far as I know (His legs were almost completely solid white, except for his feet, which were dark gray).

Of course, if the head mold was designed together with Takara, there's a chance he won't have the faceplate. But I'm not sure how often mold design collaboration happens.

After a particular plotline revelation in More Than Meets The Eye, IDW Brainstorm now has no faceplate.

Plus, they already did a headmaster brainstorm with a similar head connection system. If they end up being compatible, many collectors already have a faceplate head they can swap in if they prefer.

but he's not sharing coz of the Embargo!

I got nuthin. I ain't sayin nuthin. Go ask zmultiplier.

Yes he did.

[Carnivius_Prime]

Brainstorm again? When he already had a decent figure a couple years ago? When there's looooads of cool characters who haven't had an updated figure? And this one is likely to be a retool whereas his previous figure was all original? tsk. just tsk.

[Shuttershock]

So, does Hasbro have someone in charge of keeping a lid on all of these images? Because if they do and this isn't a PR "leaked image" stunt, that person is terrible at their job.

[Grimlarz]

I'd venture to say it looks like Kup's coloration... And it would make more sense with the Titans return since they're using Headmaster/Targetmaster figures no?
