It would be nice if Shock waves partner looked like his pre empurata self.

I wonder what shade of purple that Shockewave is going to be....

News Credits: 1350 · Mon Apr 04, 2016 4:56 am

Guys that shockwave is just the legends shockwave we got. They are just giving him one of the headmasters that we were getting in the set with the vehicles.

Has there been any remoulding on blurr or scourge?

They seem by-and-large unchanged from their hasbro counterparts.

I can't spot anything different really besides the fact that shockwave seems to come packaged with crashbash.

The decco will be where the money is here I think. :-?

The image IS Legends sized Shockwave. We had the price reveal, he is priced as a smaller sized figure.

Interesting how they didnt change the headsculpts of Blurr and Scourge as they did with the others.

TFWiki posts Shockwave's partner as Cancer, which seems logical. This Titan Master seems to be a Japanese release of Hasbro's Crashbash, who is a new name for Squeezeplay. Squeezeplay was released in Japan as Cancer.

No problem, dude.

Also, it seems Legends Class Wheelie will be released by Takara with a Goshooter, who's presumably a redeco of Loudmouth. If TFWiki is to be believed.

Hopefully Hasbro will do a Titans Return Shockwave and Blurr

Umm...

I wrote that it was Cancer near the top of the previous page before TFWiki put that info up on its site.

Well, it's presumable to believe the writer of the page either got it from the same source as you, or got it from you. I just read the info on the Wiki first.

Naturally, since said source was the previously-posted scans on Page 142:

It's just the legend sized shock wave. Why are people thinking he's bigger than what he is?

I sure hope it's light purple cartoon colors. I'd happily buy a second one if he's different from the Hasbro version.

Incidentally that is the Hasbro figure in the image, Takara Tomy uses those as a stand-in and gray scales the images.

While I like the idea of the Legends coming with a partner, I'm was hoping they wouldn't be based on the Headmaster Juniors, so they would get proper toys and not just heads

It feels like that they're going down that route, not giving them bodies. But who knows? This IS TakaraTomy, and it feels like they take more liberties with their toys so as to make them more awesome than Hasbro's releases.

I hope they do get proper toys, it would be a shame not to do a new Fangry

News Credits: 1350 · Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:56 am

There is already rumours circulating that the bodyless titan masters will get their body in future waves of titans returns, so I'd imagine that takara are aware of this.

Well, the Headmaster Jrs. weren't picked by chance: back in G1 they were simply the Japanese releases of the 2nd-year, smaller Headmasters, namely Hosehead as Cab, Nightbeat as Minerva, Siren (aka Loudmouth) as Goshooter, Horri-Bull (aka Terri-Bull) as Bullhorn, Fangry as Wilder and Squeezeplay (aka Crashbash) as Cancer. In fact, the stand-alone Titan Masters are exclusively from that particular group I've noticed, we're only missing Hosehead and Fangry.
