Blaster is way cooler than Broadside could ever hope to be.

News Credits: 11 · by **RAR** » Wed Jul 22, 2015 11:23 pm

I'm sure Ultra Magnus and Arcee love him very much....

But anyway... I just mentioned Broadside as he has at least 3 distinct sizes 1 for each mode (unless you think his jet mode and robot mode are the same size that is) and you ignore that he might have more than one possible size of robot mode.

Maybe this new Blaster does too - just possibly have 3 sizes too (but again that depends on if you think his base mode is the same size as his robot more or not).

Is it a Sentai mecha or no?

And is it from a recent decade or a much older one?

Crikey! I'm sorry! Almost strayed back onto topic then...

I am glad its back on track because I have a question for people. Headmasters are clearly a gimmick... right? I ask because I just realized what this being Titan Wars, there is a similarity in theme with Combiner Wars, at least from a marketing standpoint, but while I consider this Blaster's headmaster to be a gimmick I dont see the combiners as themselves being gimmick driven.

Am I the only one? Or is the real gimmick of G1 headmasters to be the stats you get when you insert the head?

The tech spec meter of the old Headmasters though simple was great for it's time. Even for the Jrs when they ditched the drum device. Wished that was incorporated in Brainstorm but then again, we don't always get what we want.

But they did get it for Brainstorm, the seat flips down to reveal his stats when you insert the head:

I'm hoping to see a Countdown figure in this line. release a legend class Countdown with a titan class rocket base who also has a robot mode and another mode or it would be nice if they give us a new Omega Supreme.

P.s the Triple Changer combiner goldy isn't telling us about could be Battle Bomber from Brave Express Might Gaine. They all have a Train mode, a Animal mode, a Robot mode and they all combine.

All right, all right: It's Battle Bomber from Brave Express Might Gaine:

TriBomber
Horn Bomber + Battle Bomber

Transforming, Triplechanging, Combining, and Upgrading. Have a cookie for guessing correctly, Munkimus

Well, at least it was a Takara toy.

Back to Blaster.

That was the best episode I've EVER watched!
Don't know how I missed that one as a kid.
The show would be worth watching if the dialogue was always that good.
:lol:

Wahoo Cookies, I should of got that earlier since I own the guy.

Back to Blaster I think I'm going to pretend he's a giant Blaster Mecha that the regular Blaster Pilots Super Robot style.

Just so it's clear, you know that was fanmade, right?

Of course.
Just so it's clear, not a fan of the cartoon.

I got one of those Trains - completely slipped my mind to complete the set though.

I wonder if they made a Twin Cast version of the new Blaster one day would it be a straight repaint or would they change or add to it to make the name seems more appropriate ?

Like if he's a headmaster give him a Tragetmaster as well to make it seem like he has 2 features instead of one for example.

I like the masters of all kinds, and I consider them a gimmick. a little extra to have, which I greatly appreciate.

If Blaster is a headmaster, I wonder who else would follow suit? I personally want all the original headmasters updated (poor Highbrow...) and a good Nightbeat, Siren and Hosehead. I like the generations NB but if he got a headmasters, well yes he's mine. plus they're more lost light members since pretty much every headmaster is on that ship!

News Credits: 3 · by **DedicatedGhostArt** » Sat Aug 08, 2015 6:49 pm

Alright, here are the headmasters I wanna see: Chromedome, Mindwipe, Hardhead, Highbrow, Scorponok (optional), Skullcruncher, Weirdwolf, and MORE!!! :-P

Good luck with this one. Outside of the Springer mold (which gets a pass for being a triple-changer with a helicopter mode), we haven't gotten a legit Voyager class car (not truck, jeep, van, SUV, buggy, racecar, etc. but car car) since...

...ever? :-?

Unless one counts Alternators or Human Alliance, which both were each in a class of their own back in their days.

Well just because it hasn't happened before, doesn't mean it won't happen soon! :lol:

The ones I am doubting the most, are the animal Decepticons, since we don't really get many semi robotic beast-formers like ever. Also, Chromedome is one of the main Headmasters! I doubt that they'd skip out on him in a MOSTLY HEADMASTERS line. :-P

I could see a potential deluxe headmaster chromedome, but I doubt the voyager treatment would be given to him. I feel Highbrow would be a voyager though

Though, I kinda wonder how they would make a small deluxe be a headmaster without making it a choking hazard... :-?

Precisely why Deluxe class would be too small for a Headmaster gimmick, less they made the head be outlandishly oversized.
