This version is too small for me I'm afraid.
I painted Galvatrons face silver. It does help.
Stormbringer Astrotrain, actually. And only a concept sketch of him from the trade paperback since he didn't actually get to appear in Stormbringer (published in 2006).william-james88 wrote:Sentinel DOES NOT take hint from Omega Supreme. He is based on the war within astrotrain design which predates Energon Omega Supreme by 2 years. Any likeness is coincidence.

No idea? as i don't have the figure, to see if it would still form one half of omega(even a fanmode based one) maybe someone out there that actually HAS the figure could better answer that

I wonder if Hasbro is a little sour over this being revealed before the box set comes out, possibly undermining their SDCC sales?
Emerje
pfft, with as little effort as they seemingly put into them (unfortunately ), I'm not sure why they would be surprised
Because until now their cover story was that the only way to get Brainstorm to complete our Titans Return Headmasters is by buying the SDCC set. Now that we know he's coming to Walgreens how many people that didn't want Windblade and Sentinel are no longer buying the set? I know I no longer will be.
Emerje
Yeah, there is something fishy here. For there to be individually packaged (and slightly different) Brainstorms, then they most definitely knew it would be an exclusive outside of SDCC when they said that SDCC was the only way to get him.

To be fair, though, when that statement was originally made, I understood it to mean that the Brainstorm found in the SDCC set was exclusive to that set, meaning the specific deco it's painted in, which resembles most closely his IDW style than his G1 toy or cartoon appearances. It was only later that people started to think that there would be no "mass retail" release of the figure when someone pointed out he wasn't in any of the upcoming deluxe wave line-ups.

Good luck with that. While there are some kids who play nice, there are many who just dont know how to play with toys. But to be fair, its partly because Transformers require a more mature child of 8+ but the popularity of the films and associated media have pushed Hasbro to keep it as 5+ to sell as many toys as possible to an audience who wants TF merchanside but who maybe is not the right audience.
In that case, I feel the one steps are a good middle ground. They can profit off those for the younger kids and keep the other tfs for more 8+ and handle them accordingly. One thing is for certain, the parents will not change their parenting.

I have a feeling that like the legends class during Combienr Wars, that titan amster class wont necesasrily be in synch with the rest. It reminds me of RID last year where the 2 waves of minicons (and the ONLY wones we have gotten so far in North America) came out simultaneously.
