I agree, but saying you arent supposed to take the head off definitely goes against the instructions showing you ways for the titanmaster to interact. You are free to your opinion, but I wouldnt want to misinform fans who dont have the toy and could misconstrue your earlier comment.
Officially, as per the instructions, the titan master is meant to come off and interact with the different modes, but you can all do as you wish.

If my assumption is correct, it could provide credibility to the rumor that all the contestants will get figures.Bumblebee21 wrote:Autobot N wrote:I just had a thought.

yes and he was in the potp vote

I remember I was pleasantly surprised by Brainstorm (I could have sworn his wings were going to be stickers).

While it's indeed impossible to tell from official documentation, it would appear that every figure has some intended way to secure TMs, whether they work or not. Those seemingly useless holes on the back of Titan Master calves? They peg into tabs inside Wolfwire's cockpit, something I failed to notice for a good few months! (Though, has anyone worked out where/what the securing-points are for Skullsmasher/Hot Rod? I assume they're the regular heel-slots buried somewhere in the pilot areas, but again I have yet to actually get anything to work at holding them in securely.)
EDIT: Actually, upon further examination of Chromedome: Huh, what, how? I guess I must just have been thinking of Blurr, because I can't see a single thing in Chromedome's driver area that would secure a Titan Master. Where is this ankle hole and how may it be used, so that Stylor and Rev can finally sit comfortably?

I'm guessing you live in a different country. In the United States, pretty much no store selling TF toys has shelf space for more than 4 Leader Class figures at any time, much less 40, as I stated above, most stores I go to are 25-50% stocked at any given time, lots of empty space, which is even sadder considering shelf space for Transformers in general is usually no more than 4-6 feet across.

I dunno. Blitzwing looks awesome to me, but at the same time his colour placements are just... not quite right. And it just feels like Megatron uses Blitzwing's own body better.

His colour placement is wrong. The whole idea is that the tank and jet are two totally different colours, hence working with how different the modes are. But to make him sleeker, Hasbro reuses the same parts for the jet for the tank so you end up with a half purple half tan tank instead of it being all tan. Plus you end up with a purple tank cannon, which is really dumb and hurts the cohesiveness of the alt mode.
Since Megatron is all one colour scheme, every mode ends up looking more cohesive.
So yeah, you are not alone, I think megatron rocks this mold. Especially with that strong upper body and that abdominal area.
Also, to all those who say that Generations toys fly off the shelves, here's my counterargument:
Sure, its well stocked, if well stocked means the same 5 figures a billion times.
I wont be seeing new releases till this **** gets sold.
Dagon wrote:The same thing has been noted about movie junk for years as well though, this is not remotely anything unique to Generations figures.
Also, it is well stocked, it's just really crappily arranged. If those figures were actually shelved in single file lines, like deep towards the rear of the shelves, there would be more room for other shelfwarming figures, like the simplified RID figures, and the eventual movie tie in things that never sell, like sparking Dinobot car things and multiple Bumblebees.
