Yes. It would still be Blurr, but with a special boost from whoever is his head. That actually works better than the transtector thing, because or else Blurr would just be a lifeless body, or he would be a small head giving life to a larger body. And thus he would never really be Blurr. The idea is Hasbro still wants these characters to be themselves. You can see that from the bios they give these toys:

It was the naming for the smaller figures that was throwing me off. So I guess Nightbeat is shrunk down to a little guy now.

Apparently that's what Hasbro is going for, yeah. Doesn't have to be though; this is just for the toyline, so you can easily go by your own... Headcanon

runs off into distance giggling inanely

That pun was painful. That aside, I will definitely be pretending these work like the Japanese fiction.

The first venture into the world of Titan Masters and Legends class from the Titans Return line has been shared through a number of posts recently (including the Taiwan hands-on event). Thanks to fellow fan Masterandy, we also have a very nice pictorial review of Titan Master Crashbash, in all its tiny, adorable, purple forms with the beast vehicle equipment included in the package. Check out the mirrored images below, and head here for the full set of photos!

...the Titans Return heads work with Voyager Brainstorm?!

I think that's just a 'being balanced' cheated connection, like with G1 Fort Max's head on TR Fort Max.

Kurona is right, you can tell from the comparison picture between generations Arcana and crash bash (wait wasn't that the name of a crash bandicoot game?). The new titan masters are much smaller to be compatible fully. I bet it wouldn't take much movement for that head to come loose.

I like crash bash, his vehicle/Dino form/ gun looks really fun to play with. I still love the way the titan master forms the lower jaw and arms of the Dino. Wonder if clobber will come with a repainted version...

That little Crash bash is very adorable. I'll probably skip over him and wait for Clobber, but that is a nice little mold

While i am very excited to own a bunch of titan masters, I think I will wait as well for Clobber. It a more fun head to toss around on bots and I wontbe getting 2 of each triple changer (unless prices drop like crazy again).

I wonder... how easy would it be to swap actual faces around on these things? I've decided to repurpose this guy as Vos, but Apeface has a far more appropriate, er, face. It *looks* like it might be a simple matter of undoing a single screw, so maaaybe? (if not, it's not like I was going to buy a larger figure to go all "wear my faaace" on anyways...)

For a second, I thought I read "Cash Grab".

Yeah, I don't really want to get every titanmaster, just maybe 1 of each mold with the head I really like, such as Nightbeat, Siren, Clobber, etc. Now if Brawn comes out in a legends class toy, as rumored, I would skip his titanmaster and see what else uses it. Or, depending on price, I may just jump on the Brawn titanmaster anyway

Pee-YOOK!

Horrible things have been revealed!

The rumour was that we were getting Braw in Titans Return and we are, its the titan master. There is no rumour beyond that at this point.

not that it's a hard thing to accomplish of course

I'm pretty sure N and Totes-me-goats (huehue) said that there is a titanmaster and legends Brawn. I distinctly remember legends brawn in addition to the titanmaster. but i could be wrong

The rumour of a legends brawn is from 3 years ago. That is an old rumour now and it is probably an abandoned project. People got confused with that rumour when a new rumour said that Brawn would be part of Titans Return. Everyone assumed it was the Legends class that was rumoured 3 years ago. But its not, its the titan master. Downshift clarified this to us in this thread a few months ago. When it comes to Brawn in Titans Return, what we are getting is the head. Any other rumour aside from that is 3 years old and has yet to happen.

Looking at that pic of Crashbash-slinging Hasher with half the shell/wing off, am I the only person who's worried about the stress mark on the now-opened socket?

The "weapon mode" is weak, but whatever, I wouldn't be buying this figure for the weapon mode anyway. It's worth buying for the other modes and headmaster.

No Will D-max is right, there's a rumor of a legends class brawn coming out in this line.

Can you please show me a link to it, I really think this is a case of people confusing things and I would recomend no one to get their hopes up.

Edit: If any of you are referring to what is said here http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ore/34811/ , the Bawn referred ended up being a titan master. That was confirmed by Downshift here after the rumour went up viewtopic.php?f=4&t=105496&p=1769215&hilit=brawn#p1769215

Brawn coming out as a legends was debunked, the person who initially wrote to us was confused by the terms to use for the smaller figures.

No it's a legends class figure http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/1046898-transmissions-podcast-titan-wars-leaks-rumors.html it's the most recent update and originated on episode 170 of the podcast http://www.transmissionspodcast.com/2016/05/transmissions-episode-170-respect-the-prime/
