It wasn't nicer painted it was just a computer image used to lay out tampos and stickers. That image showed a darker grey but for all we know it could've been modified by whoever posted it. Much like how the leaked render of brainstorm looked mint green instead of the color he really is.

True. I still think a Takara Legends version of this Megatron will look so much better.

But probably won't happen because Blitzwing and Galvatron's headmaster

Hey someone's gotta try to keep it alive

!!!

Sixshot just became my third favorite part of this line.

I'm going shopping tomorrow. If none of Titans Return is in yet (Iowa always falls behind in Transformers), it'll at least give me a chance to grab a few more Bruticus parts.

I actually called him "Blitzatron" in my conversations with others off the forum about the new TR Megs. I forgot the "a" when I posted here with his nickname though because I was typing on my phone and it auto-corrected to that to "Blitztron" but eh. Same thing. Heh

Also, I was personally hoping we'd see the new Trypticon already. More waiting it seems.

You will probably only see Trypticon next february at the NY Toy Fair.

Ah. That explains it. Thanks!

Seibertronians, we now have some more footage of the SDCC Titan's Return display, thanks to a video from Seibertron himself. Check it out below, and let us know if these additional angles changed your opinion on the figures.






And, as always, keep it right here on Seibertron.com for your latest and greatest Transformers news on the net!

Ok....i just watched the SDCC vids....& a couple of things

1)i deffo want that Sharkticon(Gnaw) although? thought there may have been an Allicon too , also, strange no TM figs with them , like with Bee ect

2)liking the look of Sentinel Prime's mold repainted as Astrotrain! although still prefer to wait for the HasTak one

3)at first when the camera panned over to the F15 style looking jet....i thought we were getting Starscream! then....i realize it's Megs himself! although his jet mode & colours deffo look like Starscream, & he has a tank mode too! So....do you think they too inspiration from Cloud Starscream then

& finally.....Windblade....wait....whaa ....Windblade in the TR line? isn't she in that Machinima Combiner Wars series that's coming out? so is she CW? or TR? in fact she seems to be all 3! coz she's in RID as well.

One thing....i was a bit miffed that they didn't have Super Ginrai(PMOP with Godbomber) on display there(YES i know....it's not there coz it's not an official Hasbro product....well....at least not without Takara modifications! but....wouldn't there be some 3P prototypes on display at SDCC anyway?).

We've known about that Windblade since BotCon! It's a part of this year's SDCC exclusive figure set! Also, we still have no idea if there will even be a Godbomber. I kinda hope there will be one, though.

don't suppose the Lione paint is a similar shade to Sentinel Prime, as it would make a great head.


Oh who's a kewt sharkticon? Yes You are.....Yes you "Crunch" AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH........

Also! on one of the SDCC vids....was that a transformer iPad that i saw? i wouldn't mind that either

Have you forgotton about Blitzwing? The most famous tank/jet/robot Transformer? Megatron is obviously a precursor to Blitzwing coming from that mold.

You are greatly confused. "Super Ginrai" is not the name of any configuration with Godbomber. "God Ginrai" is super Ginrai combined with Godbomber. Takara's Super Ginrai is just a retool of Hasbro's Powermaster Optimus Prime with no Godbomber added.

And, no, of course Takara's Super Ginrai wouldn't be there. The figure was only just revealed in Japanese a magazine two days ago, and Takara doesn't go to San Diego Comic-Con, as they don't do toy reveals at events in the United States.

And, no, 3rd parties don't go showing off their new products at San Diego Comic-Con either. They are unofficial illegal entities who steal inspiration for their designs from official venues.

alpha trion's robot mode looks even more beautiful. that molded detail on his chest... mmm~
taking another look at Clobber's bird thing yeah I'm buying it to make it Wingthing. It fits too well.
Brainstorm is wonderful and I need him

Gnaw continues to be the best ever. I love him.
Bumblebee's proportions look a bit better in person; the render made them look... really weird. Kinda hate Hasbro's renders tbh
Hoo man, that lion mode looks a lot better. Sawback is definitely going on my list.
Overboard I really want too. That dino modeeeee
Talking of things that look better in person... Megatron looks delicious now. Not as bad as I thought. Foil stickers are still terrible mind. Glad to see he doesn't have a faction symbol on him out of the box, he's getting a big damn autobot face the minute I buy him

Well firstly....Megs jet mode looks more Starscream than it does Blitzwing! in fact....i'd go as far to say that his jet & tank mode look more like Cloud Starscream's(YES i know the Generations mold was also used for Blitzwing and Doubledealer)

2nd....ok....you are correct....i obviously got my events mixed up! as it's at TFcon that they show 3rd party stuff.

& you are correct again.....with the Super Ginrai thing, although i'm still holding out hope(as are others) for a God Ginrai too

No
No it does not
It's definitely blitzwing

That jet's going to look weird with Blitzwing's chest, that is, with the air intakes and back of the cockpit immediately behind the air intakes and back of the cockpit...

I'm going to buy the hell out of this Megatron. I know there is a lot of grey plastic, but what did you expect? Plus I love the WWI style tank barrel (still going to use the fusion cannon for the barrel, but I've got a weakness for stuff like that)

Bumblebee looks fantastic, I'm hoping we get a Wasp and a Glyph out of him...

Gnaw...rarely do I ever want to troopbuild a figure...but I want to with him.

Sawback *cough* Lione *cough* is kinda cool, but I feel it is an unnecessary figure. I mean, I love little recognized characters and all, but did we really need/want this guy? Unless they do a giftset with Kirk, Rodney, Loafer, Toraizer, and Shuffler, totally going to skip this dude.

Brainstorm, I'm going to just buy the SDCC version, I like the color better, even if there is less paint.

Overboard AKA Overkill is cool, but I wish his headmaster was a repaint of Clobber/Grimlock.

Dezarus: Damn, they couldn't have done more remolding...Oh well, I'll live. Plus, he's more of a fuzor between Leozack and Jallguar then Deathsaurus.
Guyhawk: Very pink, but very good!
Fellbat: Wish he had new bat inspired wings, but oh well, fantastic looking
Ironbison: Not the biggest fan of the mold, but it'll do.
Drillhorn: See Ironbison
Iron Scythe: Well that's a poor excuse for a release, and why is he not PINK?!

Biggest issue with the set, outside of the torso, it needs more arms microns to act as Breastmasters. If this set had Gul in pink (Guyhawk), Zamu in grey (Drillhorn), Hades in white (Fellbat, even though he'd be huge), Balo in grey (Ironbison), and a white and a turquoise Jida (Jallguar and Leozack). Also a green version of Gob (Deathcobra).

Maybe I missed it, but does the Legends Bee have a opening cockpit to hold a T Master like Wheelie?

hes a shield that turns into a little lion that an even littler dude can ride of course we needed him

Cobotron wrote:Maybe I missed it, but does the Legends Bee have a opening cockpit to hold a T Master like Wheelie?

It's not confirmed, but is most likely. There is a hinge on the windscreen that most likely is for that purpose.


Also; replying to Madeus; I too think it would be awesome to for once get a Glyph retool. I can't remember the last time we actually had an official Glyph besides the G1 toy.

Well....whatever! in that case someone's merged Blitzwing with Megatron

now i wonder who Broadside's gonna be merged with

As i stated before....the thrilling 30 generations mold was used for Blitzwing AND Cloud Starscream! now....there's nothing confirmed nor concrete....but i could see this current Megatron mold(with the obvious retooling) being used for Starscream sometime in the near future(the upside to this...if it ever did happen...that any people who missed out on Cloud Starscream....which wasn't released by Hasbro....could always get this one....which would not be too much unlike Cloud Starscream...and this one WOULD be released by Hasbro).
