Thanks guys! Well, they're reportedly going to be very tall actually! but I seriously doubt they'll dwarf fort max.

TWINS!?!?!

You're gonna need a Fort Max just to contain the mischief of twins. Tell that to Mrs. Memph.

I noticed that too!! So you need Metroplex (if you don't already) AND Fort Max..OR you need Takara and Hasbro! OR G1 and TR Fort Max! Depends on the type of twins (identical, fraternal)!!

Steady now gents! It's just gender neutral pronouns! No twins in the pipeline. I'd be pretty psyched if there were, but sadly not. This is exactly the sixth time I've had this exact conversation now, I had no idea it would confuse people so often!

Sabrblade has a firm point also. Not showing cerebros and spike definitely feels like theres some suspense being deliberately built up for something but even that could just be for a really creative decco.

It might be because theyre sizing up a pretender shell for fortress okay, that one is pretty crazy, even for Takara!

[Insurgent]

I don't see why cerebros (I'm using the amreican names to avoid confusing people) wouldn't have a new head. All the other headmasters revealled so far do. And we know they've given him the master sword, so they have made some changes already.

[Kurona]

Yeah, they're probably just not showing it yet to keep it a big surprise.

Yeah, it is, considering how beholden to cartoon-accuracy Takara is when it was Fortress's brother who had the Pretender shell.

Ok, no twins. Gender neutral it is. Congrats again

You should still buy all of the titans

I'm pretty certain I will end up with the Takara version, they HAVE to do "Fortress" and his transtector, and that's what I want!

And, well, they could ALSO be sizing up for the eventual Grand repaint...why make one version when you can make two?!

Many thought the same about Encore Fort Max leading to Grand and Brave redecos. But then again, the Titan Fort Max might be cheaper to make than the Encore, so there could still be hope for Titan Grand and Titan Brave redecos. But then again again, people thought the same about a Titan Metrotitan redeco from Metroplex, and no one ever did that either. So... Who knows what they'll do.

Yeah that's true, they may still show up!! Also was Metrotitan "Zone"?

Yeah, the decepticon redeco of him. That to my knowledge never even showed up in the OVA, was just in the toyline and some randomass manga.

Metrotitan was from the Zone toyline, yes.

I thought he was. I feel like there's less of a "Zone" following so the chances of Grand as a redeco of Fortress would be more of seller than the Metrotitan Metroplex variant. Or maybe not. Hmm..

[ZeroWolf]

They could of went with one of the generic titans from the IDW comics like the one who chose starscream or the one turned into a zombie by shockwave.

Metrotitan was the first thing people thought of as a reuse of the Metroplex mold, with many posts on here from back then anticipating it and many other posts from afterward disappointed that it never happened.

From what I've heard about Hasbro's stance the subject, though, I've read that Metrotitan didn't happen from Hasbro because the current Hasbro team didn't even know who Metrotitan was or that he even existed. Takara, however, has no excuse aside from the cost issues of doing an obscure redeco of such a big figure.

I could see that being disappointing. A hard to come by figure finally given the chance of a modern take that didn't come to fruition. And even though "one Decepticon is one too many" (or so claims Kup) it's always nice to have a direct foil to the herobot

But we're getting the direct foil to metroplex next year with titan class trypticon though I would still love devestator in six build colours

Truth!! I mis-spoke (or mis-typed in this instance). Maybe I meant the "Nemesis" version

You just reminded me how expensive next year is gonna be. Way to go ZeroWolf

"If you think it can't get any worse, allow me to point it out to you "

[william-james88]

Awwww, why didn't they use the most ACCURATE remold of Primal, tbis one just hasthe new robot head you know what, why am I complaining if I know im buying it anyway! (goes to corner)

No, this one has the remolded robot chest/gorilla face. This is the more accurate one.

I forget, was there anything newly remolded for this specific release?

The Legends one? Twas a straight redeco of the Beast Wars Reborn remold.

I bet that one that designated Starscream as "Anakin SkywalkerThe Chosen One" was Metrotitan and then Necrotitan was Metroplex's dead universe counterpart! Or something..

I really don't know how I couldn't get Trypticon. I know I'll have the regrets that I don't have WFC Megatron anymore when he arrives though!

Yeah the legends one, ok so its just a redeco. Is this redeco more show accurate than the previous Reborn version?

Aren't these "Legends" ones the most accurate so far (i.e. Springer)? It's like they just keep getting more accurate each time, to take your money!!
