I just realized something.
If that Starscream is indeed a Voyager, and his arms kinda look like they'd house combining ports, does this mean we could get a Starscream combiner???

It looks more like he's wearing detachable armor to me. What if the gimmick of the Voyagers is upgradeable armor :-?

Either way, can't wait to see more

Nice to see Darking and Dreadwind back but those toys look a bit feeble.

Jazz doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the RTS figure.

Skullgrin is odd.

Starscream doesn't interest me. Nor Beachcomber.

Rodimus Prime. Not sure about the vehicle but the robot looks VERY nice. Almost third party-like. He's going on my list. Probably skip Takara Legends Hot Rod now.

Its for all the people who wanted CW molds redone as every single character.

What's the beast legs and tails on the left in the pics of Skullgrin?

oh is it Dragonstorm?

Besides Starscream's slightly odd proportions (which I even kind of like), this is very very awesome!! Especially the matrix and pretenders!

Bleh, that Starscream is disgusting. He looks like a playskool toy.

Rodimus, on the other hand, :shock:

Jazz is meh, I really.like the mold, just not on that character. I just managed to pick up the RTS version, and it appears to be far superior. Interesting to see what the combiner peg is for. LOVE his vehicle mode, though, it's like an old Lemans car. Hope he gets retooled into something so I can grab some version of the mold.

Don't care about pretenders. Never have, never will.

The fact that the two jets have combiner ports as well skyrockets the validity of the beast combiner claims.

And Beachcomber is everything I could have dreamed of and more.

Can't wait to get him.

Some of them especially deluxes seem to be posed on typical action figure stands? Does this mean small holes in the sole of the feet will be a new standard like flight stand ports are? Cos that's always nice for some extra stability in poses.

I sincerely hope Rodimus Prime has no titan master or combiner wars features. Hopefully it's a deluxe Rodimus that adds armour to make him Rodimus Prime. He looks perfect please no muckery hasbro!

Too bad, he has a titan master feature :twisted:

People are suggesting that Starscream may be a voyager torso!

Considering the squarish holes in the forearms, it may be a possibility

I'm confused...some sites are promoting these new toys as PotP, others are promoting them as the last wave of TR...??

Yup.

Can't wait to see the leader class in this series.

The display has PotP figures as well as figures from the last wave of Titans Return such as Slugslinger and Overlord there at the top.

These particular figures, pictured in this thread, belong to PotP.

Hasbro and Takara really need to learn that the under/inside of the wings looks count. Figures like the Seekers, Jetfire and others show the underside of the wings prominently in robot mode. They need to be smooth, full, decal/paint and just as detailed as the other side is in alt mode.

Excited to see Dreadwind and Darkwing, then let down they are not voyager and can combine. Still looks good though. Rodimus and Jazz look great. Beachcomber is awesome, they always do the legends class Transformers justice. Skullgrin is interesting and I want to see more Pretenders before I judge.

Dreadwind and Darkwing look great, and I cant wait to see the Superjet mode. But now the real question is...can they function as CW/UW limbs? If so, I feel some new combiners may be coming soon :PRAY:

Beachcomber looks fun. Skullgrin is adorable.

The rest ranges from "it exists, ok" to Starscream's case of looking actually bad. Oh well.

I like Rodimus Prime, thats a good looking figure and i think im going to be retiring my FP Protector soon. Starscream looks way too bulky and no, that does not look like add on armor to me. Beachcomber will be very much welcomed to round out my season 2 shelf. Dreadwind and Darkwing are interesting to say the least, surprised that im not seeing Powermaster or head master partners for them and those chest plates on top of the combiner pegs look rather suspicious. I kind of dig the Pretenders angle they are going with here and i wonder how that will play out in the long run.

I think they can, oherwise it wouldn't make sense to have kept the combiner joint.

Every time I see a new Starscream, I weigh out if its a better interpretation than having a complete "set" of Seekers. This comes hella close. I can't wait to see him without the thick paint

Jazz is AWESOME. On second glance, he may not be as good as his RTS, but the 5mm ports add a play value I wish the RTS had. And, I can partner this Jazz with Armada Grindor and get a nice Actionmaster reference. The RTS guy has no place to mount Grindor.

Darkwing and Dreadwind are Bought on Site, even if I do like their older Voyager figures. I can combine them with Takara Thrust and then I need one more...

And I love that Rodimus Prime, although I am not ready to go all Movie on my Optimus Prime.

whoo! Beachcomber!

Not excited about Skullgrin, but I have passed on most of the Titan Legends anyway

Sooo... how certain are we that SDlugslinger is in fact in Titans Return, and not a Spillover? As we sure that Wave 6 isn't gonna be like Slinger and PotP Jazz, Darkwing, and Dreadwind?

I think Rodimus will replace the KO MP Hot Rod I have cos this will look much better next to 30th Gen Springer with it's more detailed and chunky parts than the slender smoother cartoon accurate MP Hot Rod. I can't stop looking at this thing though. It really doesn't seem to me like the kind of design Hasbro would even do to a G1 guy like Roddy. I need it. The rest of the figures shown there just don't do anything for me and I expect the majority of the line to be like that but I gotta have this one. No idea why the hell the Matrix has a Titans Master plug though. Bit odd.

Anyways yeah face sculpt looks great too. Just has the stern look of a Rodimus Prime who isn't gonna take any crap.

(i wish i could be more excited about darkwing and dreadwind as i loved these guys in the marvel comic but these suck)

All the People? Based on all the complaining about mold reuse by the end of CW, I thought I was the only one who would be happy...

seems like rodimus' shoulders are made from hotrod's legs too. wich means rodimus' head is in his... wow my boy roddy cant catch a break

but joking aside, that is a freaking sweet rodimus! 11 years later, we finally get a new official decent rodimus! well, not counting the mp line. hopefully this guy wont have the same issues that plagues his mp counterparts
