Everybody who owns TR Blaster, take the little black thing that goes in his chest. There should be a hole shaped like a Titanmaster's body. See if Twin Cast fits in there.

I've been doing that since I bought him.

I only pointed it out because not a single review of TR Blaster I've seen has pointed out the Titanmaster storage for boombox mode. Do the instructions show it?

Hasbro showed it during live demonstrations. And the instructions do show that there is space for him in that black rectangle, but they only show him sitting in it instead of completely lieing down.

If Hasbro has shown it off a bunch, then how come every YouTube review I've seen hasn't shown it off!? Even Optibotimus didn't show it off, and I don't even like Optibotimus because he called one of my closet friends a troll and he got that same friend banned from TFW2005 for bullsh!t reasons.

A lot of reviewers I've seen on youtube seem to skim over details and go on for ages about the same detail so it's not exactly uncommon. I tend to just follow Vangelus and Thew these days because of that

Not everyone has seen the live demonstrations, don't know if video was even allowed. And some people just think they don't need instructions.

I just had to try my hand at a boombox mode for Rewind!

That gun as an aerial... that's one of those beautiful little details I live for in life

Since I can't find any of the other Titans Return figures anywhere, Galvatron has to mix it up with other lines.



It's a pity you Autobots die so easily. Or I might have a sense of satisfaction now...

Nice shot Rodimus!

and another great boom box Skram!

Because they dont care about every detail. These toys have a bunch of features, they have to skip a few. Anyways, who the hell cares why. The point is you thought it was new and you shared it. Turns out it wasnt all that new but thats ok because maybe some people didnt know until you pointed it out. So thanks.

And Rodimus, your shot is awesome. They probably scale really well together!

The boombox is better than mine! Nice job!

And Emgo showed off the mod in his review actually.

Thanks, that actually made me feel a bit better. Especially after making myself really angry by thinking about what Optibotimus did.

Thanks! I wasn't trying to one up ya but you inspired me to try it. Wouldn't have even crossed my mind if not for this thread.

Thanks! I've been meaning to do that for a few days. Just kept getting sidetracked.

I actually put my Rewind in alt mode as an MP3 and have been walking around with him all day with headphones. It's been pretty fun actually

I need my stores to stock and restock so I can shatter!

Yeah. Same here. TRU got one shipment of Voyagers and Deluxes. Target and Walmart have had nothing. I have two Targets in town. One still has 28 Deluxes. All from the Prowl/Sunstreaker wave of Combiner Wars.

I had possibly a silly question and can't seem to find anything on it, but is it supposed to be a trilogy with the toy line now? I seem to recall something about a 3rd line after Titans Return but can't remember for the life of me what it was going to be called!

We know there's something called the "Prime Wars Trilogy" which includes Titans Return and presumably Combiner Wars. We don't know what's coming after Titans Return.

As much as I used to love the hunt in the stores.... it's becoming much more straight forward going on line; also easier to check-out at the cash register.

I personally wish more reviewers would skip the "universal" articulation. Point out discrepancies like yes/no waist articulation and move on.

Back on topic: Do you guys think we'll get more Base-mode leaders (besides Soundwave)? I'd still love to see Omega Supreme (even if he's rumor/confirmed to be getting titan treatment later).

I do think that Sentinel (and Astrotrain) would have been done better justice @ leader class.

Much like how triple-changing seems to be a theme of Voyagers, Base Modes are looking to be a theme of leader-classes. So yeah, if we get any more leader molds (which we almost certainly will), they'll have base modes.
