Oh yeah there's also the Fortress Maximus, who looks to be Titan class (Thank God).

Sorry for yet another noob question, but to my understanding (Wikipedia), headmasters are when the head of a transformer turns into a humanoid robot itself. Is that right? Also if Blaster is coming out then do you think a radio (G1 style) Soundwave will come out? And doesn't Buzzsaw go with Soundwave not Blaster?

Yes. The pictures Silly Springer gave show you that the heads become smaller robots. And you can see the smaller robots on the right side in the Blaster image.

Buzzsaw does go with Soundwave so it may be that there will be a soundwave for him to go with. BUT it can still interact with Blaster. Just like these discs below can go with Blaster or Soundwave even though some are meant to be paired with one specific robot.

It's Astrotrain.

Sorry for being a noob, but what is "Titan Wars"?

A potential future toyline that got leaked at Botcon. All the display cases had TITAN WARS backings that showed some funky lineart of headmasters and stuff. We were informed that those displays were put out by mistake and that was all she wrote.

And guys, there is no reason Titan Wars and Combiner Wars cant coexist. Combiner Wars only need the deluxes and voyagers. Titan Wars could use the figures from other classes.

Unless they double the number of figues they put out they can't coexist. Combiner wars technically uses all size classes even though they don't all combine. There's rumors that titan wars Will have Voyager headmasters, deluxe 86 movie characters with Cybertronian alt modes and leader classes with base modes. That's way too much for one line.

Not saying it will surely happen but saying it is outright impossible is just as foolish. The way you write it, you are saying that Legends class thundercracker is part of combiner wars when legends Acid storm isnt as if it was planned and crucial to the line. And its not. That thundercracker is there only due to convenience (both the legends and the leader are since they are made of pre-existing molds).

And plus you are wrong. Buzzsaw is confirmed to come out next year and is confirmed to fit in Titan Wars Blaster's chest. So right there you have a figure being released alongside the combiner wars line that is made to interact with a figure from Titan Wars. Its just the facts proving their already confirmed coexistence.

Yes thundercracker is part of combiner wars because that's the line that it was released under. And Buzzsaw is part of combiner wars because that's the line it's going to be released under, just because it's compatible with titan wars doesn't automatically make it a titan wars figure.

Duh of course I would first think of him, but his head looks completely different! Are you sure it's Astrotrain?

Also if you look on the side of his leg, he seems to have... tank treads???

The rumor is that it's the next waves optimus that's an homage to some Japanese line that I can't remember the name of. But apparently my thoughts are wrong so don't listen to me

Well it looks like the bottom of tank threads so that doesnt work. It is far more likely to just be robot mode detail. Like a panel flipped on the other side. And you are right, the head is very different. But then again, it would have to be since that figure appears to be a headmaster so that is already a change from the initial astrotrain. It is a new take on him.

He does have an Optimus esc head, I think a 3 or 4 changer optimus prime that turns into a shuttle would be cool!

Your thoughts have merrit just like everyone else's. And yeah, that Optimus theory is pretty good since that headsculpt is far more him than astrotrain. Dont know who it references though.

Maybe it's an homage of Armada Jetfire/Optimus combo? Idk I'm just pulling stuff out of my a**.

Thats what i came up with too.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I thought we did that for the fixed Brainstorm?

The fixed Brainstorm is super easy to spot. He has clear rubberbands holding his head in place.

I just spotted one last week and at a good discount at that.

Am I the only one who has never had a problem with brainstorm? I constantly hear about a floppy neck but mine is nice and tight.

Yeah, there was a large spectrum of qc issues;

Huh guess I just got lucky then.

Not the only one dude. I got him too and the head was nice and firm and the gimmick works great. and it wasnt a fixed one either

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I'm fairly certain that combiner wars was confirmed to last two full years so there's still at least 2 more waves. I personally think they're going to do a team of random decepticon limbs after sky reign and then finish the year with the techno bots.

They did confirm that, I don't know why everyone thought cw was only gonna last 2 waves, just because that was all they revealed. I guess nobody realized that hasbro always staggers reveals

It was confirmed for 2 years. i think back about 100 pages or so we had a HUGE discussion on which figures would make the cut. And we wont have to worry for a while: The fact that they have revealed figures through next april/mayish time means that we wont see anything really new for a while.

As for titan wars, who knows whats going on there. But Saberblade did point out that Fort Max looks like an extensive retool of Metroplex. And Blaster, that's just a rumor at this point, dont think its confirmed

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Maybe it is Astrotrain but with an alternate head, like CW Blastoff.

Or maybe it is a ploy to show how the heads can switch robots and this is someoneelses head merging with the body to show off the function

Lol exactly.
Do you guys think this may be a 4 changer Shuttle Prime?

With the "treads" on his legs, it seems that he may either turn into 4 things, or he DOESN'T have a train mode, but something else that involves both wheels, and treads.
Also what size class do you guys think he is? (I'm looking at the size of the 5.00 mm ports in his hands as comparison with the rest of his body.)

Possibly, but it seems highly unlikely.

Maybe move this to the titan wars rumor thread?

As for my guess: It's a voyager or leader Astrotrain. The "treads" are just robot mode designs, not treads. And I do not see how this could be a prime. I'm thinking alternate head

[william-james88]

What was confirmed was that Combiner Wars was extending into 2016. The 2 year thing is just a fan assumption based on that.

Well nothing is confirmed either way. I just wanted people to be aware of the possibilities. For instance, Hasbro did confirm there will be another Titan class figure next year and the only hint we have had so far is the titan war stuff. So if next year's titan is part of that line, it means titan wars will be part of next year and not just combiner wars.

Hmmm I don't think it's likely but I'd no doubt but him if they did.
