Just detected him by looking at Scourge.


The actual funny thing about this is that he caught my attention on this pic:

Yup, I saw him, they were trying to show how the base modes interacted so they had blaster on one side and his mold twin on the other.

Yep, noticed that, too, but the ramps are way too steep. That's really dumb.

I dont think the ramps are supposed to be functional, but to simply conect them. And now we know how and where.
On Fort Max' shoulder is a red ramp:

And here we see it connected to Soundwave's blue ramp:

I think the ramps should be functional. Otherwise it's just a means for the purpose.

The only thing still bugging me is the ship mode nose bit. I dunno if anyone answered me before or even knows the answer but I'd still very much like to know if it can be put on his back. (actually looking at Blurr suggests that his alt mode nose can be stored on his back so I assume same is true for Brainy).
The upside down Autobot insignia on Blurr's altmode is bugging me a bit too. Not sure how that can be helped though. Maybe I'd remove that one, stick a Reprolabel one on his alt mode's nose in front of the cockpit and then for robot mode have one each on his shoulders like G1 Prime sorta thing.

Oh I am in full agreement with you, but its pretty evident that Hasbro is just using them as a means for the purpose.

I am pretty sure he cant. It just attaches to his arm just like the G1 Blurr toy which the original mold is imitating.

Thats why I preffer the voyager. But its still cool that Hasbro is releasing another brainstorm in a cost effective way so that fans can get all their headmasters in the right scale. They are being spared a lot of nerd rage by doing this.
And I dont mind Hasbro releasing the same character again, they do it every year with Prime and they just did it with Trailbreaker.

I was just wondering what's going on in this pic.

He's definitely got something on his back and not wearing it on his arms. At first I thought it was the back of the vehicle like on the old toy but I think the rear turns into his legs and if so then that must be the nose part on the rear unless I'm wrong. Which I nearly always am but I'm trying to be right.

yes, i believe it said in comments one or two above yours that Blur/Brainstorm nose section can be stored on their backs! so that's probably the case

Guess who's right?
Carnivius Prime, that's who!
Your comments got me into obsessive mode and I found pics proving that they can be stored on their backs.:

Ah sorry I must have missed it. So much stuff gets posted in here it's difficult to keep up to date and not just jump ahead to the most recent posts. Either way I'm definitely interested in both Blurr and Brainstorm if that is definitely the case (even moreso if the nose cones have flip over onto the backs without partsforming if you want to ignore they use their vehicle mode fronts as shields).

Cool. Zoom into Blurr, it looks like there be a hinge behind the neck area so I'm hoping that's whatever piece the nosecones attach to can be used to simply flip those onto the backs without removing them. If so then great.

it's nothing new in having the kibble stored somewhere on the robot mode

I guess it's a 5 mm peg to peg it somewhere into with a Headmaster sitting in it like we saw on a 3D render of Fort Max's base mode with Skullsmasher's tail.

Ah right. I haven't seen that. Just noticed on the Blurr render it's same colour as the surrounding area but on the actual toy in the photos they're not even trying to hide it as it's coloured in his darker blue.

I think so. Just open the picture in another tab with a right mouse click. And you can see two rectangular pegs on the shield and two rectangular ports on his shoulders. So that's very likely to just flip over and peg in there.

I was hoping it'd be storable on the back too.
I can't wait to see a rear shot, so I can start planning a structural mod that makes the guns removable from the shield and the sheild stow away. Doesn't seem like it would be too difficult, really.

Well from looking at the back of Blurr we're fairly sure Brainstorm can hold his nosecone on his back too and I'm gonna guess the guns are removable cos it just makes sense for them to do it that way rather than mold a whole more complex piece of having the nosecone and guns all as one. Hopefully we'll see pics of Brainstorm wielding the nosecone guns in his hands at some point soon.

G1 can wait, they've been around for 30 years, they'll be around 5 years from now. And plus, as Hasbro rereleases G1 toys, the value of the vintage ones will go down a bit. So you can afford to concentrate on current toys for this year. That's the plan I am going for.

Look at the pics I brought up, we can see it stored on his back.
Also
This just in for Titans Return Rumours
Someone saw an internal document from Hasbro describing upcoming toys. One of them was Godbomber which is made with the attention of serving as an add on to Gen Power Master Optimus Prime. There was no image (just placeholder) and as we all know, not all toys mentionned see a release, but this is still a fun idea that really surprises me from Hasbro.
If they do it, I will certainly buy Gen Power Master Prime.

I'm now looking to see if there are any hardpoints on TRPMOP that Godbomber could mount onto...

Actually, lets look back just a bit at recent history.
There was a Trailbreaker in ...
2008 (encore):

Transformers Encore Trailbreaker (Reissue) Gallery
2010 (RTS):

2013 (prime):
Funny enough, in the Prime line (begining with First Edition and ending with Beast Hunters), there is no Jazz, or Cosmos or BlueStreak or Sideswipe...but they did have a Trailcutterbreaker:

Oh and 2013 also gave us Generations Trailbreaker and in 2016 we got a new one that can combine.
So all in all, I think he's had a nice amount of toys. He's definitely faired better than Ironhide in the west with 2 superior Classics toys.
ZeroWolf wrote:If the godbomber rumour Is true (I have doubts)
I have doubts too. Of everything I heard, this is the one that sounds the least likely to me. But then again if I was told Takara would make a toy of IDW Roller that teams up to for Galvatronus I wouldn't have believed it.
Delta Magnus wrote:Eh. The 2013 Voyager looks better.
I agree, but mainly by principle that it's a unique mold made just for him (was never used again) and trying to capture his IDW look to a T. Thogh I must admit, I really hate that Arcana, his arms...

The name shouldnt be part of the reason though, simply because it's not called godbomber. I just wrote that because it was less confusing to know what i was referring to. This is what the post (by matrixholder) was:
Since it's already out there, yes there is a power up trailer called apex that is a separate robot that turns into a trailer that combines with power master Optimus prime being developed by Hasbro.
The fact that the titanmaster is already called Apex makes this a bit less believable.

Posting what? In any case, to ensure a news credit, you have to follow the proper channel and send us a message. I don't know how clearer it can be since I made it part of my own signature with the right link. As its written "If you have any news, rumours, or hot new sightings to report which you feel should be front paged, please contact us using this form."
If it's about the recent Brainstorm news, Mindmaster sent us a message so that's how we saw the pic of Brainstorm and found the coloured one and he gets a news credit.
