^ THIS.

He's a really nice figure and Grimlock especially. Heck, even Bumblebee won me over.

I don't have any interest in the autobot toys other than Grill och thus far.

They have all pleasantly surprised me. The only one I wasn't that impressed with is Prime. Bee is GREAT. Best so far, IMO, Strongarm, Drift , and Steeljaw. I think Sideswipe and Jazz both look interesting.

I really had no intention of buying into this line either. Now I have them all. :BLACKEYE:

Deluxe Optimus was great but I wish we got an actual leader class toy for Optimus

I'm actually happy that, for once, Optimus prime isn't the driving force behind a toy line.

I'm waiting for Takara's Adventure Strongarm, but haven't decided yet if I want the RID versions of the other three Wave 1 Warriors or the Adventure versions. As for Prime and Drift, if Takara doesn't make Prime (looks like they might do Nemesis in his place altogether), I'll get Hasbro's, but I'm also waiting to see what Takara's Drift might look like.

Adventure Steeljaw looks good, with a more blue steel paint scheme and painted eyebrows like the show.

Aside from the Generations Cyber series reported earlier, the online Brazillian Hasbro catalogue also had some new images for figures from the Titan Heroes and Titan Guardians line of Robots in Disguise.

And if anyone is wondering, the difference in Sideswipes is the size. One is 30.5 cm/12 inch with 4 points of articulation, and part of the Titan Heroes line we saw in box before. The other Sideswipe (and accompanying Steeljaw) is 17cm/6 inch with no aritculation and part of the Titan Guardians line. This is the first time we see images from that line.

The pictures have been mirrored below.

No "Class". It's just "Titan Heroes" and "Titan Guardians". If you want a Titan Class go look at Metroplex and Devastator

Not Titan class. Titan Heroes and Titan Guardians.

Yeah guys, if anyone checks, the word class is no where to be found in the news post.

I think we can all agree these have no class. >:oP

Haha, also there is a third line called Tiny Titans which goes along with these in that they are not articulated and simple action figures.

So three Titan lines.

To be fair, the Rescue Bots once at least tried to have some playability with their interactive compatibility with the human mini-figures able to fit inside their torso cockpits. They're the only ones of these kinds of TF toys that I bought because of that feature.

I understand that the titans are cheap to produce and sell well in international markets.... but does anybody actually buy them in the US?

No articulation = INaction figures

Dollar general?

Sorry, not loving this concept and would not buy these for my kids.

If they actually were a dollar or two (or filled with shampoo) I might be a little more interested.

These are just garbage.

Might have been tempted to buy some of these Titan toys. If they had fully articulated robot modes.

Oh I wasn't including Rescue Bots in that joke. They have a specific and special job to do all on their own. Every time I pass one of those giant Primes in the clearance isles, I'm really tempted. I just want to fill him full of Micromans. :lol:

Eecccch - I can't believe ANYONE buys these butt-ugly 'titan' figures, never mind enough people buying them to the point that Hasbro keeps MAKING them.

What a waste of plastic that Hasbro SHOULD be using to make the generations figures more solid...

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Tue Mar 17, 2015 3:53 pm

Lets be fair guys. These things are meant for 5 year olds if not younger. Who here has seen how 5 and under boys play with toys. SMASH, BASH, CRASH, then TOSS! These are perfect for that. If I had boys I would gladly get these for them.

Figures similar to these from the AOE line still clutter the shelves in many of the local retail stores in my surrounding areas. Even marked down, no one is buying this crap! If I had a kid that these are aimed toward, he'd be smart enough to know that with the name "Transformers," it better damn well transform.

I just wish Hasbro wouldn't pump out so many of these things from their factories because, like I said, they clutter the shelves intended for actual "transforming" Transformers. They're just as bad as those AOE Power Attacker that cost more than the actual transforming AOE action figures and do nothing but have some sort of spring action attack. Lame! Or those sparking Dinobots with an Autobot rider. Double Lame! I think those were about $13 a pop and did nothing but encourage a kid to start fires.
