Yeah I'm... speechless. I had no idea he was a platinum exclusive! I was even kinda considering buying him!Well that sucks.
Hopefully they'll at least release a Misfire repaint or retool of Brainstorm in the normal line at some point.
He is not a platinum exclusive, he is a SDCC exclusive.

You're not the first to notice: Chromedome's transformation is based on that of CW Dead End. That does not make him a retool, however.

I also like what they've said about titanmasters referencing all the past masters (though to be fair, the original headmasters rode in their vehicles before action masters) but no love for brainmasters?

Wouldn't surprise me if the current Hasbro team didn't even know what Brainmasters were.ZeroWolf wrote:but no love for brainmasters?

I think its more likely he gets rereleased as a Platinum set. It happened so far with the previous SDCC sets like Bruticus and the G1 Dinos which were SDCC exclusives one year and then slightly altered Platinum released the year after.
Speaking of platinums...Kurona wrote:Yeah but SDCC sets are subject to the same pricing as Platinum sets, right?
Depends. The initial pricing might be similar BUT Platinums are retail released and subject to the same discounts other retail stores may have. I got the G1 dinos for 75$ USD for instance since it was on sale on Black Friday. An SDCC set sold on HTS might have less chances of being this discounted. Plus, Platinum editions are not regionally exclusive. The only way to get Brainstorm this year is either to go buy him at SDCC, get him off e-bay from a reseller, or hope there are lefotvers that sell on hasbrtotoyshop.com. But that site is a us site and while they ship internationally, the shipping fee is pretty nuts for anyone living outside the US. Platinum sets are available at TRUs and other stores across the world and are much much easier to find. You can also get them on e-bay from hong kong for the same price you'd find them at retail locally.

You do know that means he wont have a faceplate right?

Then I'll just have to get Voyager Brainstorm and balance his head really carefully on him.

Or, now bear with me here, buy voyager brainstorm since it's an amazing figure, and is probably a bit better than the titans return one.
Though this revelation about brainstorm does make me think a bit more about my hypothesis the Blurr mold we be used similar to CW silverbolt with the base mold release (blurr), a slight retool (Brainstorm), and an extensive purple retool (Nautica).

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
