(Proposed Botcon exclusive, unreleased.)

Lion seems more likely somehow.

TIGER. HAWK.

The first image of the actual figure came the day before the CG from Hasbro on Facebook.

That's a little out there, even for hasbro. Maybe if they had acknowledged the other lines before now, it might happen, but I think they'll stick with the more logical redeco's

Yeah I mean it's as likely as them doing a Liokaiser

wait...

Or another certain remold of a Japanese character. I guess Hasbro really likes Victory since he and Liokaiser both come from there. Maybe Victory Leo isn't so unlikely.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees a wolf head. I know people are saying lion, but just how credible are our sources? Have they actually seen the lion mode or are they just assuming it'll be a lion since Hasbro did that one Alpha Trion prototype from BM Snarl and Alpha Trizer (a different character all together) from Thundertron. Then again Thundertron doesn't look like a Lion to me either so who knows?

I know it's a choice to see these leaks but I really miss the days where the reveals would come at cons and it'd be a huge surprise. The days of being truly shocked by stuff is dead

I agree with this whole-heartedly. I started collecting TFs when Transformers news wasn't as easy to come by during RID and sometimes popping into the store and finding the two-packs that were a surprise was always awesome.

My friend Steve doesn't really collect toys any more, but he has about 50 times the fun going into TRU than I do because he never reads the news.

It's definitely a lion head, the ears are too small for a wolf and there looks to be a lot of detail on the mane which also rules out tiger hawk (sorry memphis!)

As for getting a Victory Saber out of it or even just Victory Leo. ...I'll pass as I wou like doing rather have one that can combine with star saber

I don't know why but I must have blocked that from my mind judging by the rough paint on the shoulder this is a hand painted sample though.

I would have preferred they leave the beast alternate mode to Onyx Prime, and give Alpha Trion something else more fitted to his role as the observer/recorder. Maybe some sort of space telescope? Something more scholarly.

Hellscream9999 wrote:Fellow Seibertronians, courtesy of fellow user Mindmaster, via zmultiplier on Weibo, we get our first look at the upcoming Titans Return Alpha Trion, although it has already been teased, this is our first clear look at what appears to be half of the box art for the upcoming Voyager Class Alpha Trion figure. Alpha Trion can be seen sporting a lion head as a pauldron, which would seem to confirm that he does at least have a lion mode.

So what do you think of this new version of Alpha Trion? Remember to leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Reminds me of Leobreaker and Lio Convoy.

That's what i was thinking! had it not been for the fact that he's a Voyager figure! now if he were Deluxe....he may've formed an arm of a Gestalt, which WOULD'VE made him more like Liobreaker. & YES! i know! this is a Titans Return figure....and not a Combiner Wars one. but....one can dream, can't he

I agree Alpha could have been triple changing into something more scholarly, but at the same time a beast mode still isn't bad. gives him potential reuse value yes, taking away from his uniqueness, but after the Alpha Trizer story, it works as a nice homage there.

A telescope? Those gadgetformers are not to my taste. An owl would've also been cool and fitting.

How do we know this image is alpha trion? You cant see the face. I dont see a beard. Im more inclined to believe this is a lio convoy mold. While anythings possible, I dont believe Hasbro would go for an Alpha Trizer when botcon did one very recently. Its just way too obscure for hasbro. And it wouldnt be the "official" transforming alpha trion fans wanted anyways. Im happy with my botcon and 3rd party alpha trions anyway.

Owl would have been cool yes. And the wings could have made for good spaceship mode wings. As it stands, I'd like to see how a spaceship mode will come from this guy. could prove interesting

I wonder if it is just a trick of the grey washing out of the pic, but I think the sword might actually be symmetrical, and not shaped like Thundertron's...




If you look at the etching on the blade, it is symmetrical. The color image also seems to point to a symmetrical blade. I think the top portion of the blade is just washed out in the filtering of the image.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As long as it doesn't end like this I'll be happy...

if that's Alpha Trion.......is that Vector Sigma in his chest then?(since he merged with Sigma in the cartoon series....dunno about the comics? i never read them) as a light up feature

I still remember going into a store when I was 15 and seeing RID XBrawn prowl and sideswipe and losing it. The autobot logo again! I flipped out and scrapped every cent I could find to buy them. I had no idea it was coming. I honestly think that was the last time I was shocked in a store.

Cobotron wrote:Pure want? No pure need!

Me too. Of all the titans return figures, this is the one i am most excited for by far (might have said that about another one, but doesnt matter)

That snout also makes me think of a wolf more than a lion.

Oh and guys and gals, what's with wanting this redeco'd as Thunderton. We just got Thunderton in modern day engineering and all that. No need for a superfluous redeco when you have the actual figure readily available. Plus, Thudnerton has a a lion chest, not shoulderpads, those are he lion paws instead.

Personally I would be shocked to find current, up-to-date tf stock in a store

Except an owl is also an animal, which brings us back to the part where Onyx Prime was the 'beast' prime, and giving the other primes beast modes rather detracts from his uniqueness as a character.

Alpha trion could of picked up the beast mode later on...or we look at this in the way that is being suggested by some that alpha trion likes to ride around in a space ship that can turn into a lion before combining with it for his super robot mode

Or more simply, a hasbro designer thought it was cool
