They look cool, but what do we do with a Chromedome head and no body?

Have Rewind use it like a foot stool?

I can't believe we're getting a second Scourge that's not a Targetmaster. Other than that I am super excited for this line, especially a new Mindwipe. I really need confirmation on Horrorcons already though.

It is strange that we see the picture of his head only and no body when scourge and mindwipe have their full bodies. What if Chromedome is just a titan master

Y'know what's trippin me up with this whole "Titans Return" line? The word "Titans". It's got me thinking that every figure is Leader sized or bigger.

I'm almost reluctant to believe that that Alpha Trion is a Hasbro product... It has soooo many paint apps, it looks like a custom, or Takara at their best. Hasbro's been pretty cheap on paint apps as of late, even if this guy is a leader class, his paint app level reads as some kind of "exclusive"figure to me . Regardless, all of these look Fantastic! Can't wait for official reveals in a couple weeks!

AT looks amazing, definitely will get him if he's a s well painted as this suggests...

Mindwipe is bought on sight, him, skullcruncher and weirdwolf, can't wait to get them

It's going to be a long couple of weeks till Toy Fair...

Titan's Return has me thinking I got back into this craziness at just the right time.

Gen Whirl's head was not IDW based. Look at some pics and compare.

This Scourge sure looks like a Deluxe to me.

Wasn't it reported that they are slightly bigger than deluxe, but still classified as deluxe? That's been my understanding anyway.

Sure, but a bit bigger than current deluxe might still be smaller than Glarryg was hoping. The idea is to not hype it up too much and say realistic. He is labeled deluxe, so I would expect something at the higher end of that range, but still within that range.

I am sure Rewind could think of something

DecepticonFinishline wrote:.... But.... Sigh. First Blurr and now Scourge? We already have great Classics figures for both, we don't neeed more. ESPECIALLY with this headmaster gimmick.

I disagree. Blurr is an iconic character especially his cybertronian look. That drift redeco doesnt nothing for me, it was always going to be a placeholder. Gen Scourge is a great figure though.

Cobotron wrote:I'm down for all of it. ALL OF IT!

Me too. SO far I see absolutely no sign of any CW limb mold resurfacing in TR. Which is great, becuase if I see one more of those I would probably stick my head in the oven.

Scourge is awesome. Very awesome.

I think the opposite for that Scourge. He looks Bland, especially compared to the previous deluxe and that altmode doesnt look all that great either. I dont like how his wings fold out in the back. I mean how hard is this guys, he's a basic case of shellformer where the shell is used elegantly. And that lets you give him a bunch of cool new robot detail that you couldnt give on most robots who have more vehicle mode integration. Not the hardest concept people!

Delta Magnus wrote:Wow, Scourge looks kinda bland.

My thoughts exactly.

Rated X wrote:Its a shame they screwed the scale and made the real headmasters deluxe. They set a standard with brainstorm and then flip flopped. And im sure scourge will be huge and turn into a stupid base like blaster.

Scourge will be a deluxe and so will a new toy for Brainstorm.

Yeah, that's the point I am sure. I dont think he is the only one to have something like that. It's probably a place to store the titan master when the body is in vehicle mode.

Sentinel and pm/op both have them too, which led me to think that scourge would be voyager, but whatever

Hardhead has it too. I think all TR has a place to put the Titan Master when in vehicle mode.

But both of my figures have the exact same gun I think, but I may be wrong - but you are correct, everyone seems to be getting at least one place to store the head.

Sentinel Prime and Optimus have different guns.

makes you kinda wonder why Scourge wasn't originally included in the Combiner Wars line?

I want them to continue to make more primes. I would love to have a Prime shelf for display with at least a representation of the 13 and maybe their fake descendants/real ones. I want Nexus Prime!! And I bet Alpha's headmaster will be called A3

I dont get it, this shows us why. Its because they were waiting to release him as a headmaster as part of the titans return line.

Plus now we have headmaster Galvatron and Scourge and combiner Cyclonus to complete the team! And Cyclonus can form an even larger Galvatron!

hell yeah mindwipe, hope they plan on doing weirdwolf next

Is that Scourge a voyager? Cuz if it is that would be 100% awesome!

SillySpringer wrote:Is that Scourge a voyager? Cuz if it is that would be 100% awesome!

No he is a deluxe.

I hope they don't do with Chromedome like they did with Nightbeat and just release him as a head. That would be terrible. Why can't you give use a proper Nightbeat figure, Hasbro?!

Also, we can now make Megatron a string of Scourge/Sweep heads to wear around his neck!

Maybe Chromedome will finally feature a dome that is chromed somewhere on his body, and his name will finally make sense.

This pains me, the original Nightbeat was the very first Transformer I ever got as a kid. The ONLY sore-point for me with Titans Return so far is that Nightbeat is a disembodied head. I know we got a Generations Nightbeat figure not that long ago but this still feels wrong, all these Titan/Headmasters and no Nightbeat/Muzzle combo...

But that is seriously it, everything else has me very excited. I desperately crave a better view of Mindwipe.

Come on Toy Fair!

Yeah but the deluxes are bigger now so that's cool. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THEM COMING OUT WITH THE G1 SEASON 3 CHARACTERS! They have Springer, UM, Arcee, Cyclonus, and now have Galvatron, Blurr, and Scourge! I may have missed a couple characters. I would absolutely LOVE a voyager Rodimus!!! This is incredible. Instead of just random characters being released, they seem to be actually coming out with the whole Season 3 main cast! They even have Blurr omg!

(Please excuse my gushing.)

Edit: OH yeah and Alpha Trion.

I am liking the idea of Alpha Trion being a voyager and (potentially) having a lion alt mode and being a headmaster. I want A3 so very badly.

And more Lost Lighters! Yes!

And Voyager Rodimus please!! oh please!!
