I was happy with the Aerialbots. Stunticons arrived from Japan yesterday, not impressed.

What didn't you like about the stunticons?

Was it mm's dumb torso mode, or the sameyness of dead end and neck brace?

I think that if the mold existed already, they should have used streetwise for either dead end or neck brace, it would've really helped break up the monotony of the set

That's why I liked Offroad soooo much, he offered a bit more diversity and he still looked cool

Yeah, he's one of the best figures, I loved the colors he brought, that teal and green look so nice

The offroad mold is actually my second favorite vehicle mode mold, with the Rook mold being first

First Aid is my favorite character of the group, considering his MTMTE role, I have fallen in love with they guy. I am considering buying a second one of him to have separate and one to have combined

I'd say either Air Raid or Rook is my favorite.

I did like his poseable wings and 5mm ports on his arms.

First Aid makes a good beefy arm and is the best leg mold in my opinion. He and Rook as arms together make for a buff combiner. Air Raid is my favorite aerialbot though. I just love his mold

Yeah first-aid rocks as a limb, and rook is scary as an arm. I wasn't a fan of the cockpit fuselage design of air raid, and his head looks kinda off to me, I much prefer skydive

For me, Air Raids colors are amazing and the way his wings are just work so much for me. i like having his wings flush against his back sticking up and it looks great as an arm

Well, I've always been a fan of Air Raid, so I guess my opinion is rather biased.

This Sentinel Prime mold actually made me hit the brakes on purchasing ToyWorld's Astrotrain. Looks fun.

It's been a few days and I'm still not sure how I feel, but the more I see and hear it's negative. I was thrilled that we're getting deluxe sized Headmasters, until I remembered Brainstorm; if the head works the same way where you need to recite the rosary to get it off, I'm out.

I've waited a long time for proper updates to Blaster and Galvatron, these aren't them. This is not some G1 fan whining; we NEVER got a proper Galvatron, the Encore did ok but there was a limited design to begin with. This is probably the last time we will get a Galvatron that's close to the animation model that's not a MP. The original Blaster was OK, but like Galvatron I think this is the last time the original design will be visited outside of MP. For what it's worth if they can transform with the heads still attached I'll be good.

Rewinds arms fold up at the elbow to form the turret. Unfolding them reveals the hands, I don't think it can get flat enough to fit in Blaster.

Are Hardheads hands/arms molded in such a way to proper hold the rifle straight?

Man, you could almost get a Broadside retool out of that Sentinal Prime.

This Sentinel Prime reminds me a lot of Fire Guts Ginrai.

Sentinel Prime looks great in all modes. I don't have any attachment to this character, so I am not sure how I would feel about an actual purchase. Maybe there is some great character building or fiction around the corner.

Any idea why the change from Titan Wars to Titans Return?

Watch the video on it man. Rewinds arms actually fold over the sides to hide the "tank treads" so they actually don't fold down on top but to the side, making him fit

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Any idea why the change from Titan Wars to Titans Return?

Maybe they felt the name was too similar with the "Wars" part. Or maybe they originally had one idea for the story that would tie into the toyline, but then changed their minds and went with another about Titans coming back instead of a Titan war. Just my guesses.

I think sabrblade on the money about the names sounding similar. Though this name sounds like it fits in the context of a middle part in a trilogy

Oh btw since there's hopefully gonna be a Machinima cartoon series of Combiner Wars......what's the likelihood of a Machinima Titan Wars series?

If the combiner wars series does well then I'd say we have a really high chance of getting one for titans return.

They are different enough that I dont mind my purchase. One is earth mode astrotrain and the other is cybertronian astrotrain. I prefer the old timey train locomotive look.

If you look at the images, his arms are already formed as the turret, the hands are underneath it, so there is no unfolding to do (those are thick ass forearms). His arms/turret only unfolds when transforming him into the media player.

An apt description! lol

I'm sure Takara will sort us out on that front. For that matter, I wonder if Takara will forego the Titan Master feature on Blaster and Galvatron altogether. Their Transformers lines aren't always a direct reflection of Hasbro's, and given what they're doing to make Unite Warriors figures more G1-accurate than Combiner Wars.
