I had Twintwist as a kid and if both him and Topspin had come out some time before now I probably would get them both (particularly as they were part of the original Marvel UK Wreckers) but not now. There's really nothing in this wave of Titans Return that appeals to me much at all. I'd like Magnus Prime from the Siege set but that's about it. I'm kinda done with these.

I had​ the original Twin Twist. I thought about Topspin; but since he looked a lot harder to transform than Twin Twist (not), I decided I'd better not get it. That was a joke since one's just as easy to transform as the other guy.

The original 1-step changers!

I hope Takara does a cool repaint instead of Skipping this Windblade. Such a cool-looking toy, but look at that sloppy paint and number on her belly!

PLEASE Takara! Just ONE more Windblade!

It's probably a production test-shot, the final thing won't have those number stamps.

I ordered the whole wave of deluxes (actually voyagers and leader too, leaving just seaspray for now as he was only avail with cosmos). Looking forward to misfire and eventually slugslinger, great to have decepticons filling out the ranks...

Re windblade I think she looks good, and though looks like a reassemblage of various moulds, I think she's pretty good looking. I have the original deluxe and she didn't transform as well as I'd have liked and was pretty unstable due to her lithe frame.

Tho I'm not a fan of getting updates so soon, really hope they release a new arcee. The previous one is great but again perhaps a bit too light and also, in the American continuity she actually became a headmaster so that might make sense...

I really like these three figures and will definitely be adding them to my collection. I like the Hasbro Misfire better than Takara, for a change. Combiner Wars and Titans Return have been great lines. I really hope the trend (sans stickers) continues.

Crashbash
Loudmouth
Nightbeat
Terri-Bull (the first four were originally conceived as having original faces as well)

Sawback
Freezeout/Flameout
Godbomber

The last 3 are still under investigation.

What is the Optimus/Octane one based on? And the titan master windblade has is a new head thats a new design no?

That isnt the final product, this is:



As Misfire is proof (along with Wolfwire, SkullSmasher, Trigerhappy and plenty others aside from Blurr) Takara wont have more or better paint apps, but instead have different ones which may or may not strike your fancy.

I know the story, and its quite interesting. So if scorchfire is new, why didnt you list it?

I am still happily mystified by SawBack's titan master. its like they wanted to add more lion to the motif and since the head doesnt turn into a full lion in this version, well at least it would turn into something still lion themed.

Shuffler, Ramhorn and Daburu also have animal themed Titan masters which gives them more variety compared to the the billionth Stylor clones and other standard humanoid Titan masters.

Does anyone have any ideas who Cogman from the TLK toyline could be repainted as? Maybe Nightbeat?

Not completely new, she's still based on Fracas, but retooled to a rather significant degree. I don't know where to put her. Besides, she's pending until a source for her design is found, or not.

Oh and do we know that Ptero is based on?

Swoop, specifically the toy, while the head mode is from the animation model. It seems to be common for the Titan Masters to be based on toys, and the head modes on cartoons. Perceptor's Convex follows that trend.

Ah, I had not realized that g1 swoop had a visor. Sadly, since I came into this hobby later, reisued g1 toys were easier to aquire and our dear dinobots were never reissued

A couple weeks ago it was leaked that aptly-named skateboard company Primitive Skateboards would be releasing a promotional version of Leader Class Titans Return Optimus Prime done up in their company colors. Today, we have more confirmation that this special release is indeed coming: the box for the figure has been leaked by the same source as the figure itself, and is similarly done up in the Black and gold paint job, with some new artwork of Prime (giving an almost damaged look to him), and reveals the name of his Titan Master, Shreddicus Maximus! Check it out in it's entirety below!

Twitter user Lothar Hex has found wave 4 Titans Return deluxe class figures (specifically Krok and Topspin) at Asda stores in the UK! Check out the photographic proof below, and please report any sightings you might think are new to us at the Toy Sighting Database!

I don't even care what you think, Shreddicus Maximus is the best name in the history of this franchise. Oh my god.

He just needs to be green with a red visor.

It renews my hope for an eventual Naughtius Maximus

I'm sorry, what is the problem here? I don't get it, our articles are pretty different as these things go, if that's what your getting at.

Wait wait wait, I understand. The titles. I apologize, that was too close to TFW's. Honestly, I didn't even notice, let alone did I mean to copy it. It has been changed.

I said, FOR CHEAP.
Buying anything from HTS, even a paper clip, give me a 30$US charge MINIMUM in shipping.
I'm not exaggerating.

Do you live on the international space station? Also they give free shipping anywhere on orders over $50.
EDIT: free shipping on over $15

Kid, look at the sidebar. I'm CANADIAN. The "free shipping" thing is for USA residents only.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that HTS also charge taxes. All in US dollars. Joy.
