Incredibly apt description. Bravo!

I'm not saying Universe Galvatron was hard to transform. I'm just saying i got him back into tank mode and Pinhead appeared.

Sounds like pretty standard fare to me

I wish Galvatron's Track pods were grey they look dead odd in Purple.
I also hope the jet cockpit can be flipped of extended in to the signature support leg in cannon mode.

I hope the cannon will stay in without the use of the shoulder supports as I think those should be flipped back not forwards to look more like the original's design.

Also he doesn't need 3 Decepticon logos that just looks silly one was fine. - But at least they are covered up in robot mode.

I'll likely knock the pin out of the cannon hinge if it's feasible to do that I don't like that hinged piece hanging down like that. It might have made more sense to have it parts form and then you could stick it on the Titan=Master vehicles as a bonkers engine or on the bases as decoration when not needed.

I understand why the minifigures don't have separated legs and knees as they are so very small A small shame though that they do not-

I'm a little concerned that all toys will have appropriate storage for them (not just the Deluxes) as you really don't want to loose Galvatron's head as the only place to put him is upside down in the cockpit or standing on a peg I guess.

My opinion on Titans Return Blaster and Galvatron has softened quite a bit, far more so for Galvatron. The one flaw I see is still his robot mode head. The face formed by Titan Master Megatron looks far too recessed into the "Galvatron" helmet. I hope this is more a problem with poor transformation at the show than the design of the toy. I'll wait to see what Takara Tomy does with the paint job, though. Hasbro's paint looks very good, but could still be improved in some subtle ways. I'm REALLY digging Blaster. His sculpt is fantastic, but it's just TOO BIG as a Leader Class figure. Still, I will probably get it for the playability or as a placeholder "Masterpiece" version. Again, I'll wait to see what Takara does with the paint. I'm not digging the yellow optics.

Yeah, in the videos, it is shown to be on a pin, and was hastily shown off, so it should sit more snugly to the face (but it might not, only time will tell, since these won't be out 'til next summer)

So if Cyclonus is a combiner, and Galvatron is a Headmaster, what would Scourge be? A Pretender?

I'd say "Targetmaster", but...

Well, the original was pretty much a robot closed inside a shell; if that doesn't suggest "Pretender," I don't know what does.

In other words, he's a Pretender Vehicle Action Master!

We all know how bad those at show presentations and show-offs look, so I'd say we can expect it to look much better in hand

Especially if these were rushed for the event or test molds. Weren't these only shown off in bulk this early to address the leaked art at botcon - and to a lesser extent the rumors and computer listings?

I'd think being called an Action Master would be more humiliating for any Transformer.

But Action Masters are cool! They need more love.

Sabrblade wrote:But Action Masters are cool! They need more love.

I dunno, I am REALLY not a fan of those. Transformers are supposed to transform.

Anyways back to Titan Wars. Am I the only one who's excited about Hardhead? Seems like most people are too distracted salivating over the other figures.

You are definitely NOT the only one. The deluxe figures are the ones I'm looking forward to the most, as that means more characters from the G1 cartoon for my Classics collection. I've already got a decent Galvatron and a Blaster that looks great and scales correctly for my Classics shelves. Technically, I also have a Classics Hardhead (Universe 2009 Wal-Mart exclusive repaint of Ultra Class Onslaught), but this new one fits the bill SO much better. Hurray for the Headmasters (and maybe Targetmasters if we're really good?)!

I mean, the tank mode is awesome, but his bot mode head is kinda dumb lookin', it's all scrunched up, like he accidentally bought a helmet that's too big with too small an opening for his face... I'll wait 'til in-hand pics come out, then decide, or wait a year 'til they're actually released and see if there is a cooler repaint of him coming
