Yesterday's news of British Titans Return listings may have provided some pretty pictures, but it also made Britain sigh heavily at the high prices. That lead to some within the community to realize that the Takara versions might be a cheaper alternatives. After some quick research, it was found that, believe it or not, Kapow Toys has a near 30% discount on some upcoming Takara Legends figures. It actually seems that in the west, these are the best prices found, which is something you would not expect in England. The £ 20.99 being asked in these preorders below is a better price than any US counterpart (which sell these for £ 25). At the time this article is written, each of these toys below is priced at £ 20.99.

LG22 SKULLCRUNCHER

LG21 HARDHEAD

LG-30 WEIRDWOLF

Remember that these come with a more toon accurate headsculpt as well as a bonus triple changer gun that has to be bought individually if you go the Hasbro route.

Thanks will, this will be of great help for the fans who just want a good deal on tr stuff

Just pre-ordered LG30 Weirdwolf from Kapow. However I actually prefer the aesthetics of Hasbro's Hardhead and Skullcruncher, so I'll wait for those guys to come down in price.

Wish they had a 30% discount on Fort Max to.

With this line due out soon, and with some figures already out in Australia, I thought this would be a good time to update the Sightings Product Listings with Titans Return stuff. Wave 1 is in there, and some of Wave 2 as well. Hope it helps!

Shouldn't that be in the Takara Legends thread?

Shouldn't you PM such questions to a News Crew member instead of posting off-topic AGAIN?

Is it yet confirmed that the first wave of TR will be coming out at the end of June or the beginning of July?

Wait a minute, weapon packs?

The Titan Master vehicles.

Just curious, what titan masters and full deluxe/voyager/leader figures ect. do you guys think would mix well? For example: I think Nightbeat's head might look good on Blurr's body.

I'm kinda hoping that Loudmouth looks nice on Cromedome and that Crashbash looks good on Skullcruncher (yes, I know he's called "Skullsmasher" now) and Mindwipe.

If they come out with a Nautica, I think Crashbash would look good on her too.

Brawn on Hardhead could be pretty funny.
Clobber could go with anyone potentially; black robot head with a mouthplate and red visor has very few things it doesn't complement.

Where'd the Titan master nautica rumor come from?

I dunno, none of the figures are black... would look epic on Astrotrain... I wish Crashbash's color worked with other 'cons, it'll look AMAZING on Weird wolf

Same as the others as I recall, it supposedly Blurr with shoulder turbines, and other minor changes I'm sure

3. Deluxe Fastlane
4. TR Perceptor
5. TR Nautica - remold of TR Blurr
6. TR Quickswitch (remold of TR Sixshot). LEADER class.

Link, this is the closest I could find, take it with a grain of salt, they were just reporting what they saw

Interesting. It could be speculated Chase will be a repaint of Bumblebee; with new tooling saved for Goldbug. Or it could be Rescuebots chase. That's entirely possible.

I'm guessing ThunderClasp is most likely the new name for Thunderclash

Perceptor's probably a new mold. I'm willing to wager he'll turn into a microscope, not having to worry about the head; having the headmaster interact with the figure to homage the Microman function.

Fastlane? That's generic enough to be one of the autobot twins, or a replacement name.

Nautica's interesting choice. From the blurr to Brainstorm tooling, I'm hoping for an extensive retool. Both brainstorm and Blurr's legs already have a similar profile to nautica's and it's svelte. Her IDW alt mode has a large center cockpit that could become the chest, and the wing placement isn't dissimilar from brainstorm. I'm mostly worried how the head will look. I can only hope that three uses of the mold would be similar to the three uses of silverbolt.

One main figure Silverbolt/Blurr

an extensive purple retool; Cyclonus/Nautica,

one with some new parts but's mostly old: Scattorshot/Brainstorm.


Quickswitch. That's cool I guess, could lead to Sixknight, maybe even Greatshot.

Fast lane is one of the G1 Autobot Clones. There is a G1 character named Thunderclap, but it still could be Thunderclash. Sixnight sounds good to me! Sixnight was my favorite back when I first watched Masterforce. In fact, PMOP and Getaway are really making me hope we get more Powermaster from Titans Return just so I can convince myself they're the characters from Super-God Masterforce.

CYBERGEEKS Alliance's Facebook page has a ton of in hand images of upcoming Titans Return toys that come from both ChErikS and MasterRandy. These are also from the same TFND event we have previously seen but these offer some fun new comparisons like Titans Return Powermaster Optimus Prime and G1 Powermaster Optimus Prime along with Blurr and his remold Brainstorm side by side. The highlights are found below but you can click any link in this article to see the entire show gallery. Also, thanks to a video review of Fortress Maximus from kathleensklutter, we finally have a shot of what his open legs look like.

Can't wait to get Optimus, love combiner wars Magnus but OP is just even more epic!

Anyone else feel that the giant stripes and Autobot symbols wrapped around the back side of Prime's legs look really tacky?
