Bumblevivisector wrote:Another possibility just dawned on me: maybe this listing's misleading and the "Titan" is SC + Sky Garry and Grandus, and their vehicle gestalt (Battlestar Attacker? Did it never have a name like Big Powered?) is Titan-size! That would be awesome, and possibly the only way the latter 2 ever get a proper update.
If I remember right, the Hasbro design team said in a recent interview (don't remember if it was just at SDCC or something else, I'll have to double-check) that Takara is trying to get just Grandus by himself made a Titan Class release, which seems to imply that not only is Grandus NOT in play here, but that they consider all 3 of those characters Titan-size.Emerje wrote:Yeah, I'm really baffled by the choice to make Star Convoy a Titan unless he comes with all of the missing Micromasters, too, including Sixliner. He shouldn't be any bigger than Commander Jetfire or Armada Prime or the completed Menasor. What's really confusing is if you go by the official art Sky Garry is about the same size as Optimus Prime and he's the smallest of the trio, but art shows them all as being pretty close in size.
Or if Grandus is still the biggest, maybe Sabrblade's guess of Commander Star Convoy is about right, but with Leader or Commander Class Sky Garry to bump the box up to Titan size? That might require coming up with some new way for just the 2 of them to combine for this to make sense to fans unfamiliar with the characters, but it could still work if Grandus was a sure thing for 2026.Nemesis Primal wrote:If I remember right, the Hasbro design team said in a recent interview (don't remember if it was just at SDCC or something else, I'll have to double-check) that Takara is trying to get just Grandus by himself made a Titan Class release, which seems to imply that not only is Grandus NOT in play here, but that they consider all 3 of those characters Titan-size.
The previous G1 reissue listings all just said "TRA Gen Retro [character name]" or "TRA 40th Retro [1/2]", the fact that these specify retro-inspired and include current class names implies a difference.Razorbeast88 wrote:Is the retro inspired line not just G1 reissues with some new paint?
That's what I thought it was but I'm seeing comments about a new seaspray

Looking backwards at when the 2025 exclusives we already knew leaked, these listings were also referred to by the leaker as a Retro-Inspired capsule and there were two more of them as well that we currently don't know the character for:
Tra Gen Retro Inspired 1
Product Number: G1093
Tra Gen Retro Inspired 2
Product Number: G1094
Tra Gen Retro Inspired 3 (Now identified as Deluxe Seaspray)
Product Number: G1382
Tra Gen Retro Inspired 4 (Now identified as Deluxe Brawn)
Product Number: G1384
I feel like if this were to be the case, the leaks would have specified it as either a "package refresh" or a "rerelease", but they haven't.#1 Signal Lancer fan wrote:Alpha Trion: A repackaging or redeco of Legacy Alpha Trion from the two-pack

Sabrblade wrote:Another possibility is a redeco of the Legacy Thundertron mold using its mass retail head instead of its proper Star Raiders head, in homage to both the old BotCon concept that never came to be (which was made from Beast Machines Snarl) and the Titans Return Alpha Trion having a lion altmode (and aligning with the same being the case for TF One Alpha Trion).
I think fans would be pretty angry with any new Leobreaker being a mere reuse of an existing mold instead of a new one made especially able to combine with the Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus.#1 Signal Lancer fan wrote:On the topic of the Thindertron mold, I’m surprised it hasn’t been redecoed into Leobreaker yet. Maybe for the upcoming Cybertron pack?

Sabrblade wrote:Watching TJ Omega's video about this news, and he mentioned that Evan and the others at Hasbro have talked about considering making Titans smaller in order to get brick-and-mortar stores to carry them, since they would take up so much shelf space at their current size. It's possible that this Star Convoy could be the first outing of that smaller Titan size as a test to see how well it might do at Target and Walmart stores, since it is a version of Optimus Prime after all.

I think it would, at least size-wise. That's pretty much 2 commanders combined to make a titan. Just depends on which characters are used.-Kanrabat- wrote:call me crazy but I'd take a page from Diaclone and make a titan in two parts. Part A one year, part B the next. Each would become a vehicle that would change into half a bot.
But I don't think it would work

Smaller titans would be a bad idea. Because then, they wouldn't be TITANS. (Yes, all you know-it-alls, I'm aware that Titan Class refers to price, not size.)

Star Convoy is a big guy, but not Cityformer big. He's more like Combiner-sized, like how God Ginrai, Star Saber (without Victory Leo), and Dai Atlas are.o.supreme wrote:Not holding out hope here, but "IF" the Generations Titan for 2025 was the entire Battlestar Attack set (Star Convoy, Grandus, and Sky Garry). I could accept that. I Know Hasbro has a crazy idea that they wanted an Optimus at every scale, but it is kind of nonsensical if its Just Star Convoy. I've heard people say that Star Convoy (in fiction) is something like over 100 ft tall, I cant find any evidence of this, and I own the translated manga with the story pages, though he's mostly in space and fighting Super Megatron....
Even if it was an 18 inch Titan like CW Devastator or Tidal Wave, Id say that was way too big. Of course I also think Tidal Wave would have been much better at CC... Oh well.... If that's the case then perhaps my Titan purchasing days truly are over, as this would be the 2nd one I didn't Purchase. I know my wife would be happy since space is really running out.

His base mode is scaled for Micromasters, like how Armada Optimus's trailer base is scaled for Mini-Cons.
The height of Siege Jetfire, Legacy Menasor, or even Legacy Armada Optimus's slightly shorter size would have been perfect for him.
