Not only does he come with the Master Sword, there will also be a poster - just like we saw with the Victorion set - featuring some tasty sword action. Check it out below!

Just a question. Will IDW support a back story for this line? Will this be the "warden" Fortmax we all have come to love? 'cause that image sure is an angry angry 'max!

Just sayin': His leg guns are fully deployed and the sword is still in front of them despite the pose. teensy bit wonky

Take a close look at his shoulder and notice Sentinel Prime, Windblade, and Brainstorm from the Titan Force set fighting in the same positions as seen on their packaging, only now seen here from behind.

Okay, that's pretty neat.

Titans Return is out there people! Not only is it available at retail around the world but even online stores are now shipping them out in the US, like Enertainment Earth which now has the Leaders and Titanmasters in stock.

Which ones are you gonna get right away? Are some a bigger priority than others? Let us know. We have reviews up for many toys if your mind isn't made yet, and we have a new one here from StarblightSkylynx featuring Stripes. Remember that this mold will be redeco'd into Ravage later this year.

Alright... that's cool. Kudos artist.

... looking at the perspective here though, does this mean that Fort Max is on Sentinel's side?
... that's a bit scary.

I dont think he even knows they are there

Whats the difference, you can just buy them online and they come to your door, plus its free shipping over 79$ Buy 2 leaders and shipping is free. It could take another month for theseto be at retail, but the boards will still be filled with fellow americans who aleady own them by then.

Looks like he's intentionally hitting buildings with his sword so who knows?

He looks good but the mold is clearly meant for ravage. I think I'll pass on stripes.

I think stripes himself looks decent, I wish the stripe panels could fold down in beast mode though. The plane mode is so stupid though and I absolutely love it. I feel like it's intentionally bad and it's daring you to take it seriously.

If laserbeak turns into a skateboard, does that make ravage a hoverboard?

That's better than becoming the world's most impractical plane.

Yeah, and people thought it couldn't get worse than Silverbolt... that bar has now been raised

It'd be seriously cool if they had a peg that you could attach to the bottom of the feet of combiner hfg's like rook... combiners on roller skates

Yeah his is pretty bad too, I think the rewind mold is the only one that actually pulls off the three modes well.

Agreed! And unlike the others they arent random at all. One is an homage to the casette and the other homages the classics casettes that were turned into tanks while also homaging G1 casettes that turned into tanks.

That plan works better if you're a completionist - if you only want, say, half of any given wave, then that's problematic, as they end up being marked up more when sold individually. Assuming individual figures were in stock (which they aren't in the places I've looked), deluxe class figures have a have a 27% mark up vs. retail, and Legends and Titans class are as much as 40% over retail. :-/

There was a Trial and Play event in Hong Kong where fans can play with yet to be released figures. What is fun about these new photos from that event, found on TFmiser's Facebook page, is that they show the poses you can pull off with the figures along with aspects of the playability and many comparisons. Most are from the Titans Return line. We have comparisons with G1 figures and redecos within the line like Rewind and Rumble and Blurr with the SDCC Exclusive Brainstorm.
There are also more images of Hasbro's Computron both combined and seperated as well as more images of the upcoming Power Surge Optimus Prime from the Robots in Disguise line.

There is lots of great stuff below so take a look and let us know what excited you most and if you have learnt anything new.

need that soundwave. it's like a bigger g1.
