He's a Scavenger in MTMTE.

Regardless, we all should have seen him coming really.

I forgot he was a Scavenger.

Also, I think this title should now be passed on to Kurona:

Wow, some really awesome news here. I don't want to distract too much from the current conversation. I have a bunch of photos to share, but I'll spread them out. For now, here is a request from what might be 50 pages ago now... O_O

Here is every Titan Master thus far released by Hasbro with the exception of SDCC Fort Max (I wanted to stay married, so I didn't spring for both Fort Maxes) and Walgreen's Brainstorm.


For the record this is 26 of the possible 28 that have been released to this point. I was going to challenge Sabrblade to name them all, but then I'd have to check with him if he was correct because I don't know them all.

More stuff to follow in coming days!

[Edit] P.S. These are like setting up dominoes. I don't know how many times I knocked over several with my sausage fingers...

And I would except the challenge, but anyone savvy enough to use Google could just as likely name them all anyway.

Wow, we finally get proper US releases of Overlord & Deszaras!
I still might wait for Takara releases on a few of these.

In your picture, I see... many, many Titans Return figures inflating your receipts!

Alright here I go: Sovereign, Infinitus, SDCC Infinitus, um... Pm Primes guy, Brawn, Clobber, Twincast, Hyperfire, Nucleon, Soundblaster, Darkmoon, Fracas, Emissary, Stylor, Xort, Furos(?), SDCC Teslor, Grax, Monxo, I forgot Mindwipes guy, Loudmouth, Nightbeat, Skytread, Crashbash, Apeface, Terri-bull. And there you go. All without looking at the internet or anything else. I think I did pretty well.

Prime's is Apex and Mindwipe's is Vorath. It's weird; I rarely if ever remember the -master names beyond of course Zarak and Nightstick who always comes up all the time (thank you universe nightstick mold), but Vorath always sticks out to me somehow...

And Furos is correct.

Nice list - but I don't see Legends Kickback on there. I know they're almost done with him, we saw the prototype/teaser shot. Come on, we need to complete the Insecticon trio....

william-james88 wrote:And Furos is correct.

Furos is obvious. Just look at the back kibble.

Alpha Trion just arrived in the mail yesterday. Couldn't be happier about it.

A neat detail I hadn't noticed before, or heard mention of elsewhere, (I don't watch a lot of reviews and stuff, so...) is the cockpit is sculpted to resemble a lion's head as well. which I find to be totally radical! Ya. I said totally radical.





So much nice attention to small detail in this line.

Oh, and this happened.

I noticed in the last photo a gap between the lion head and the arms that make up the bottom. I am sure it can wedge in a bit better.

I can... kind of see it if I squint... it's the same lion-head-squint-factor as Timelines Lio Convoy tbh

He's been revealed a while back, this lsit was about the ones we werent sure of yet for the most part an included some of wave 3 but not all.

Sill, it can, and after more futzing, I did.

K, exactly! It was hard to photograph. Much more apparent in-hand.

Kurona wrote:I can... kind of see it if I squint... it's the same lion-head-squint-factor as Timelines Lio Convoy tbh

Yeah I can only see a slight similarity MAYBE, but that might just be the designer doing an accidental resemblance due to them thinking about lions.

This is the first time I'm really noticing Kickback. I didn't really look at him much before since I don't really care for insecticons; took a glance, thought it looked kinda cool and moved on.

But now he's looking cooler to me... and a legends army is a fun thing to have around...

Besides, if we get a Legends Soundwave sometime soon that'll mean we have all Season 1 Decepticons at a Legends scale.
(shhhhhhhhh the constructicons don't exist)

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! (and don't worry, I remember you calling that)

I have really become attached to those 7 characters overall, which is why I really want a Flywheels, a good Krok, Misfire (he's probably my favorite), Spinister, Crankcase, Grimlock, and someday a Fulcrum somehow. I love that little gang.

Technically we already have a perfect Krok.



God do I want him.

This is very true. I really want that too, but alas $$$

I'd rather have the head turn into the exo suit, that seems much more likely. And then come with a repaint of Loudmouth's partner vehicle (or something very similar) painted up in Arcee's colors.



Emerje

My only question is, why use Japanese names when there are existing US ones? Because "Ranger" should refer to this guy:


Transformers G1 1988 Joyride (Ranger) Gallery

I guess Hasbro or its legal department found "Joyride" to be encouraging children to steal cars and driving them?

And I've also noticed that the list uses both original ("Getaway" instead of "Breakaway") and replacement names ("Sky Shadow instead of "Black Shadow"). Odd...

At any rate, some weird stuff:

- We're getting 3 Throttlebots (Chase, Freeway and Searchlight) at the same time? Prediction: either or all will be retools or reshells of either Wheelie or Bumblebee.
- Huffer and Cosmos again? They should be new molds, in fact, with Legends being Titan Master compatible, we could recreate a particular scene from "Make Tracks":



:EDI:

- Emerje brougt up a good point with Arcee and a redeco of Loudmouth's vehicle. Hate to say this, but if that comes to pass, she will be a retool of Loudmouth, since the vehicle and its pilot seem to be gang-molded (i.e. the pilot mold is never replaced or switched out), plus Loudmouth's other face hasn't been revealed yet, if any.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:My only question is, why use Japanese names when there are existing US ones?

Maybe the source of these rumors just likes using the Japanese names, like how "Blood" was used instead of "Bomb-Burst" (and there's no way Hasbro would ever name a children's toy "Blood").
