G2 Megatron and Megastorm are both the same, except the Insignia of course

No they are not. Megastorm has gray camo, Megatron has purple. Megastorm has black on his face while Megatron does not. Megastorm has a few other decals different from Megatron.

but what if the Titan Master is actually Megastorm?
Coincidence?

I know they're the same mould, but Megatorm didn't have G2 in his identification, because he was Beast Wars (neo or II, I forget which). His titan master being Megastorm is a good idea, but it's takara so it's the japanese way of doing headmasters. Meaning it's Megatron.

Which means in the manga, after Megatron lost his Galvatron transtector, he'll replace it with a G2 Megatron transtector!

I knew the clones set was coming, but G2 Megs? That is one welcome surprise.

I want the Decepticon clones; I might get Windblade if her Titan Master is Nijika, to swap with Perceptor.

I'ma be that guy: CALLED IT!

When I first got TR Voyager Megatron I noticed a port on his shoulder where his cannon could go and shouted "G2 G2 G2!!!!" :DANCE:

Windblade's Titan Master is Windblade.

I'm actually not surprised the TR mold will get the G2 treatment. However, I AM surprised Takara are the ones doing it. Megatron is probably my favorite Voyager this year. Can't wait for Meany McGreeny!
and Con Clones too!

It'll probably be the purple Megatron since that's what Japan got in G-2.

Yep, but hoping for a "Nijika" style deco.

You can always hope the targetmaster is Nijika.

Less. In Japanese continuity the real robot is the head, so I like the idea of an alternative dimension where Perceptor's consciousness remained in the "Nijika" puppet and ultimately developed the ability to "head on!" :))

I'm curious to see it either way, the Hasbro edition looks kind of bland.

If I had my druthers, I'd have wanted Takara to forgo releasing Windblade as Windblade herself, and instead release the whole figure completely redecoed as Nijika herself in a new, full-sized Transformer body, so that the previous Takara Legends Windblade could stay as Windblade while this new figure could be her sister, Nijika, as a Transformer.

I'm sort of excited for the G2 Megatron. If it is the purple guy, I will strongly contemplate it. I loved those colors on Megs, and I could name him Archforce instead, so I can deal with having Megatron and a purple Megatron that is not a T-Rex in the same shelf.

I'll stick with the hasbro Windblade, since I haven't gotten any of the targetmasters, a bit too much money wise for me (but any MP with a targetmaster is high on my list!)

I hope that Megatron is just the voyager Titans Return figure but without the crappy stickers. I REALLY need a good voyager class Megs.

Say, if it is green G2 Megatron, we all know who the Titan Master has to be,
right?

Seriously, what else could he have been planning to do with her brain once her body'd been blendered?

And it would start a healthy trend of one new Sidney Biggles-Jones toy per year!

It would be cool to see G2 Meggie

Though I would prefer Archforce

Right. Megatron.

Because this is Takara, not Hasbro.

I really need to stop thinking at times. This time it concerns the actual Titan Master design, which we all know is based on Blitzwing. If the G2 Megatron transtector really is a new body, how would they explain the radical change in the Headmaster? Unless TakaraTomy makes a new one from scratch and retools some other pieces along the way like they did with Overlord.

That would explain why it's "bumped up" to regular retail status.

Couldn't Takara just put Voyager Megatron's face on the back of the Titan Master Nucleon mold?

I wonder... given the titan master gimmick... would Takara consider doing a Reverse Convoy at any point?

All this talk about G2 Megatron, Megastorm etc... And All I want is a Tank Megs with an optional Prime head.

Buy Voyager Megs. Buy Voyager Laser Optimus. Swap heads. There ya go.

That's what I was thinking.

Possibly, but I don't see them doing that.

Yes yes. The point being, it won't be a blue Tank, nor would it be actually Reverse Convoy. Maybe Inverted Prime? UpsideDown Megatron?
