No, Galvatron's little Megatron-esque Titan Master is named Nucleon.

This is what other sites had reported.

However, the frontpage article here with the official Hasbro release says otherwise:

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ion/34036/

"Galvatron with Titan Master Megatron"

It sounds to me like prior reports were either confused or perhaps Hasbro isn't being clear.

Keep in mind, since any Titan Master can form Galvatron's head complete with crown, prior demos may have been of a separate character named Nucleon.

The article was written from the preview night with the infor we had available. The basis for calling him Megatron was the look of him. Now things have changed and with the presentation, we now know his name is nucleon, he just looks exactly like Megatron.

Personally, I would have prefferred they just call him Megatron, the point is to have fun with this line afterall and logic itself is thrown out the door with a headmaster galvatron, so why not go all the way.

Really hoping for Chromedome from this series. Rewind's presence suggests that he's not precluded by being one of last year's SubService figs. also, Deluxe class headmasters, hell yes.

That makes me think, this doesn show that the subscription service isnt really the way to get figures you,d never get otherwise. Does anyone now have buyer's remorse over their TFSS rewind?

I am very excited for both Domey and Rewind, and if I would have got the club's versions I would regret it a bit, but then again I could always place them into another continuity

I am looking forward to getting the Funpub Rewind and Eject in the not to distant future - they will be a lovely complement to the Rumble & Frenzy tanks.

I'd never regret owning them as I'm crazy about "Scout class" as a size it's possibly even my favourite size class.

Rewind and Eject complement the TFCC Chromedome or they could go with Universe Blaster rather well too. The style of them they'd fit in anywhere there isn't a specific need for the characters to be Cassettes or similar.

Since there isn't such a thing as a Classics Blaster other than the jet one - (WFC/FOC isn't the same theme to me) they can easily be used as "Classics" - and further more they can also be used as part of the broader Botcon related themes with ease too - such as a complement to the Botcon Laserbeak & Buzzsaw for example. They'd fit in fine with the Euro-G2 era theme too.

I like to have options if something else comes out it doesn't make the previous toys un-needed it just adds options.

Heck I still use Continuously variable more than I do Generations Gears as sometimes I might need a bigger example of the character than a legends class..

Hasbro has provided high res stock images of the Voyager Class Sentinel Prime figure from next year's Transformers Titans Return product line. Sentinel Prime in this form and color scheme are new to the "Generations" toy line, but he has appeared in past IDW comics. Sentinel Prime's Titan Master mini figure is named Infinitus. Sentinel Prime was revealed separately during the Hasbro panel at New York Comic-Con on Thursday night. Many fans have speculated that this toy could be used for a possible Voyager Class Astrotrain figure, along with several other characters.

Cool though he is, I think I'll wait for the inevitable Astrotrain retool.

Those are some heels the figure has. :-P

That is the lamest robot pose I have seen in a while.

Some Transformers have gorilla arms. Sentinel, however is looking like he WANTS to have gorilla arms.

Why is he standing as if he was about to start a rap battle?

Waitaminit... IT'S ORANGE ASTROTRAIN!

Why the helld didnt we get ASTROTRAIN from the start, and have that guy as a collector Club instead? It boggle the mind.

Cuz then we'd be complaining that the Club gave us an ORANGE ASTROTRAIN.

He does actually look good. I am very strongly considering getting him

I'll be getting Sentinel Prime and any repaint he could get.

He's showing off his big gun turrets that make him look beefy and boss and apex-armored off

alright how long until astrotrain?

by **Railbomb** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:20 pm

I could see the inevitable Astrotrain retool or redeco (if they just change the head on these is it still a retool?) using the spaceship fronts for his feet instead of the train fronts. It looks like you already could use them on Sentinel if you wanted. Also, is it just me or does Blaster's headmaster without the helmet look like Perceptor?

I just spent a good chunk of change on a Henkei Ashrotrain so I'm reluctant to replace him as my astrotrain. But I also got a vector prime that I was using as Sentinel. So either way, something is replaced. Seriously though, I'm hoping we see a release for Nova Prime.

But it made sense!!! He has his apex armor look and he is big and beefy!!

Wow. I just noticed the orange plastic on the top is a cockpit which houses the headmaster.

Stupid Prognostication Time! Anyone think the smaller headmasters from IDW's past are taking bodies of dead Transformers and using them? I seem to recall Soundwave getting blasted in the head once, and he's a potential retool for Blaster (if the past few toys have been evidence).

Well, I am excited for a Prime Figure who isn't Optimus (Or Roddy) and is someone who's been in the mythos for a while but never got more than a few pages attention. So this is cool. Does it fit into my collection? Me thinks not, but I will probably have to buy in.
