We’re excited to share with you today some news about the future of the Transformers line, including another chance for fans to have their voices heard!

At New York Comic Con last month, Transformers fans were officially introduced to the new chapter in the Transformers Generations Prime Wars Trilogy, TITANS RETURN! The reaction to the new figures and the Titan Master system has been great, but some fans were wondering where the Titans in TITANS RETURN were. We can now officially confirm that TITAN SCALE FORTRESS MAXIMUS will be available in Fall 2016, the first Titan Scale figure in the TITANS RETURN line!

The first ... but not the last! We’re turning to our fans to help us determine which titanic character from Transformers history should be the next Titan Scale figure for Fall 2017. Starting Tuesday, November 24th on the official Transformers Facebook Page (Facebook.com/Transformers), fans will be able to cast a vote for which of the following fan-favorite characters should be added to the line:

- Scorponok
- Trypticon
- Omega Supreme

Starting today, fans will be treated to campaign-style posts featuring each of the three characters, leading up to Tuesday's official voting post, which will be active from 10:00 am PST to 12:00 am PST. Fans will be able to vote in the comments section.

Additionally, this will be the first Transformers Fan Vote that will include fans from China. Chinese fans will be voting on WeChat, and their vote totals will be joined with the Facebook vote totals to determine the winner, whose identity will be shared with fans in the near future.

In addition to the fan vote, we’re also happy to share with you some new figure images, including new Transformers: Robots in Disguise Mini-Cons, the hotly anticipated Transformers Generations: Titans Return Leader Class Power Master Optimus Prime, Transformers Generations: Combiner Wars G2 Bruticus Series Pack, and the brand new line of Transformers Generations Alt-Modes, featuring classic G1 styling and fun and innovative instant conversions!

Images and information can be found at the links above or below. Please let us know if you have any questions about the Fan Vote or the new figures.

Meanwhile Trypticon has had only one modern update... in the form of a legion class recolor of Cybertron Scourge.

Ideally I wish all three could be done, but as of now it's either a Titan OS to go with Titan Devastator, Titan Trypicon to go with Titan Metroplex, or Titan Scorponok to go with Titan Fortress Maximus.

I agree that Trypticon needs the most love. Scorponok and Omega Supreme seem like we'll get them at some point regardless in some form or another. Trypticon, on the other hand, is a special case because of his primary mode being so unique and large. As much as I'd love to see Scorponok done right, I think Trypticon is the more unique option.

Meh, I ain't voting anyway.

Then what is the point of your post if you're choosing to be non-productive?
