I can see why. When you step back, the original molds for RID were Optimus, Magnus, the Autobot brothers and Megatron.

Munkky wrote:I recently bought Generations Brainstorm (and the Headmaster neck joint hasn't broken! YAAAYYY!), it's not the kind of figure I'd usually go for, but I've enjoyed fiddling around with it and I like the Headmaster gimmick more than I thought I would. The Titan Wars artwork does puts an emphasis on Headmasters, so I'd totally support a line of new Generations Headmasters if they're done as well as Brainstorm. I don't know much about the G1 Headmasters as characters, but new Generations toys of Skullcruncher and Hardhead would be great (though I don't think I could stop myself covering all of Skullcruncher's Decepticon symbols with BW Predacon reprolabels...) The rumours say we're getting Soundwave, Galvatron and Sentinel as Headmasters along with Blaster, but I do hope the line doesn't go TOO overboard with Headmaster versions of classic characters. Optimus Maximus in Combiner Wars was nice of course, and we finally got a good Classics Ironhide out of it, but I wouldn't want things like that to become the norm going forward.

Or give us more Beast Wars
I can understand a reluctance to try and produce the main cast, as many would be an extreme pain to create to be as 'realistic' or show accurate as possible (Tarantualas, and Black Arachnia spring to mind. Airazor, and especially Terrorsaur woudl be very difficult to cram a whole bot into his beast mode), but yeah, show some love to BW and move on to something else, then circle back after a while.
What's kind of funny is that after season 1, they were all pretty toy-accurate models.
I honestly wouldn't mind if they did one or two platinum sets next year of the Transmetals (preferably without chrome since they still can't seem to find a good solution to keep it from flaking) so America can finally have a TM Megatron that doesn't break and just to give them a re-release like they did for the season one guys for the 10th anniversary. Also they could maybe squeeze Ravage into one of them (that would also even them out, having 4 Maximals and 4 Predacons).

Sabrblade wrote:Anyway,Titan Wars. Thinking about the name some more, if the gimmick of this line is going to be Headmasters and maybe some Targetmasters or Powermasters, it's enough make me wonder why they didn't just call the line "Master Wars" instead.
Especially since "Titan" has lately become so affiliated with the Metrotitans of IDW.
And with the comics now going into the search for the lost colony worlds, this could have been an opportunity for them to introduce Planet Master.

I suppose, but as IDW Fort Max is a regular-sized guy, he'd have to upgrade to a Metrotitan-esque body to match his new toy in-fiction.Agamemnon wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Anyway,Titan Wars.

Could it be the "Titan" Fort Max being a Headmaster that leads to the title and Headmaster connection?

Still, though, him being the only one wouldn't make it a "War of Titans" in the same way that Combiner Wars is a "War of Combiners". If this were a line themed around Titan class Citybots then it might work. But as it seems like it might be more themed around Master technology, a name like "Master Wars" would fit better (and serve as a dual homage name to the original Master Wars).

Why? Are they not allowed to try new things, reinvigorate old things. If that were true, we wouldn't have the movie figures, animated figures, or the prime or rid'15 figures.
G1 isn't sacred, let it go

I agree with both of you simultaneously. I think that Munkky said is that he just doesnt want each generations line to just push a particular gimmick. While CW didnt have combiners at every class, I do think it could be fun to have some deluxes which combine while others dont. Like that we could have gotten a Voyager Dinobot and a deluxe Blackaachnia while also getting an updated Silverbolt combiner. But it ushing a gimmick means anytoy you may want would end up with an implementation of said gimmick (at least in the same class and wave). I reall liked how both a minicon combiner, a targetmaster an armada toy and a war for cybertron figure all in the same wave. I think that is what Munkky was talking about and I do find that fun.
Think about it this way, Hellscream, if they remade the 3 RID brothers but it was part of the titan wars line, wouldnt you rather that just means they are released at the same time as other figures which ae head/target masters rather than it meaning they will have an extra gimmick?

Hellscream9999 wrote:And while I agree they shouldn't push gimmicks, it is a good excuse to churn out whole groups of figures (for cw it was the gestalts, now it'll be the head/target masters; so a few weirdos get thrown in, that has to happen), I would honestly like a permanent adherence to the 'thrilling 30's' line of random figures from everything.

I would too. Universe was doing that before with armada and beast wars being all thrown together with G1.

Yeah, it was pretty great, I loved their paint jobs; but don't forget they had beast machines, rid, machine wars, and the G2 jets too

Which oys were machine war homages?
Also, while a poorly conceived line, the lineup of the Titanium line when all was said and done was pretty sweet.
