It appears that Va'al was the spy all along.

Maybe I should have joined Team Burn instead.

Yeah. I'm a scout though.

Agreed, though I had my own team.

I love that image, sometimes I miss my 40k days but c'est la vie.

Now, now guys, va'al is right to stick to the embargo...After all hasbro can easily find him and I still think this is hasbro testing a new form of hype making. After this they'll probably try a scavenger hunt approach where different fansites get different parts of the picture and have to search for the other parts.

Also it should be obvious to everyone that stu is the spy trying to frame va'al so he can find out about the stash of pictures.

No Targetmasters. Just heads.

Why do we assume it's Brainstorm?

And maybe they turn Kup into a Headmaster like they turn Powermaster Optimus Prime into a Headmaster.

I'd want a Kup themed head to be called "Noggin".

Guy's this a Titan's Return thread not a Seibertronian Spy thread.


Seriously Burn is going to show up here pretty annoyed (Judging by what I have seen of course)

Because the people who saw the figures already have said that Blurr and Brainstorm share the same mold. And that picture has the same legs as Blurr but they are green instead. So, its Brainstorm and not Blurr.

End rant. Carry on.

The TR Brainstorm rumor from the Transmissions Podcast came out in November last year. Does this mean, you guys also have been sitting on these images since that time?

If anyone cares. I have been a news staff all along and I never saw them. I think all Vaal was saying was that the guy who put these up must have the full photo. And so would others (since the transmission podcast and other saw them too). So what's with the dumb cat and mouse game.

MemphisR56 wrote:After a particular plotline revelation in More Than Meets The Eye, IDW Brainstorm now has no faceplate.

Plus, they already did a headmaster brainstorm with a similar head connection system. If they end up being compatible, many collectors already have a faceplate head they can swap in if they prefer.

Actually, Brainstorm only lacked the faceplate for most of a full issue. He now wears it regularly again.

why do we need another brainstorm when the one that came out a year or two ago is perfectly fine

And plus it is quite possible that Gen Brainstorm's headmaster is compatible with the TR headmaster.

My guess is that he wants all of us to follow his Weibo page...

...Which is dumb because only the news staff needs to do that. The rest of us just come here.

If for no other reason, look at the right of the picture at the robot's left arm. That's the front of Brainstorm's alt mode.

Gen Brainstorm IS great, but I'm betting he's not compatible with these new Headmasters. It would make sense to create a new Brainy that works with all the other newbs.

1. Hasbro is clearly at a point now where they want to use their molds as much as possible. So if Blurr can give them another character, even one they did before, fine for them. Also, fans who want all their headmasters to be the same height and class get their wish. Face it, if they didnt release braintstorm we would only be getting "Oh, now Brainstorm is bigger than all the other headmasters, good job hasblo!". Now Hasbro wont be getting that comment.

2. It was already confirmed at the past shows that the heads are not compatible with Voyager Brainstorm. There was a flaw with Brainstorm's head release mechanic and they improved on it. Meaning its not the same as voyager Brainstorm and thus non compatible.

im fine with Brainstorm being bigger than other headmasters but still they could have chose to use a handful of other characters to reuse that blur mold, but they choose brainstorm to make brainstorm a car are they going to make highbrow a car too? you dont see how ridiculous that is
what i dont get is they go and do many many characters that are inline with what they where originally or at least mostly what they where then they do something like this brainstorm i would rather they made nightbeat out of that mold, they wont get a comment about the size of brainstorm but they will when they make him a car

Well, to be fair, the blurr mold looks curvy and sleek enough that he could be re-made into brainstorm, mind you, blurr doens't 'have' wheels, so not having empty wheel well's helps.

Doubt he's gonna be a car. Slap some wings on his upper arms, maybe tweak the transformation or remold a few pieces, and he'll be close enough to a semi-boxy spaceship like his G1 figure.
