If someone has tidal wave from titans return will you please show me its jet mode

Unfortunately, being a straight repaint of Broadside, it will be exactly this but in another color:

Naturally, Magnificus would be made from Perceptor - possibly with a new head, likely in a boxset. Carnivac seems a likely choice for Wolfwire.

Magnificus for firepower boxset, please !

Though thinking about it further, I would love to see a Cybertron Snarl done up from Wolfwire too. 'Course that's mostly cause I'm highly biased toward Cybertron, but it would be cool and would double as a nice roundabout-homage to Botcon '07 Weirdwolf.

And come on, who doesn't want a TM head that looks like this:

That looks super cool, makes me want to get a toothpick and black model paint to darken the details.

As foolish as it may sound Mainframe could work from Perceptor.

Not foolish at all. Could totally work.

Heh, I'm also a bit Cybertron-biased so I was thinking the exact same thing. On that theme, a C-Sideways redeco and headswap of Scourge would also be neat.. I'd also suggest Thunderblast from Scourge (though that might take altering more than the head to really work) or maybe Energon Mirage or Sharkticon... Hot Shot from Hot Rod (Cybertron Hot Shot homages the the original Hot Rod toy pretty heavily) would also work. Side Burn might also be an option there. Leaving the Deluxes for a bit, Galvatron could be redecoed as Energon Megatron. Back on the Deluxes, Twinferno could be turned into Flamefeather.

Yeah someone I follow on Twitter made a repaint of WolfWire/Weird wolf with white colouring that gave me the same idea too.

But Black Alpha Trion / Leo Prime would be nice too.

I've always wanted all the Cybertron / Galaxy Force "Convoys" in Black - as I really wanted a set - but then they never gave us a leader class Smokey Megatron/Galvatron either except as a Legion size toy (disappointingly). So Dark Fang Wolf Colours would be nice too.

Just the sort of thing Botcon/TFCC could do if they were still around.

Speaking of Titanmasters though I notice the Wei Jiang Overscale ones are up for order now on Aliexpress.

How big are the heads on those overscales and did they do a Loudmouth?

I got Powermaster Optimus Prime today. Has anyone come up with a good way to get him to hold the hammer?

They do make a Loudmouth figure, if that is what you are asking.

Since you apparently can't use context clues, I was asking if Wei Jang did a Loudmouth.
I was interested in that because thanks to Titans Return's heads being smaller than the original Headmasters, they would take modification to serve as heads on vintage Headmaster toys (like the headless Siren I got at a thrift store) and would look kinda dinky even with that. But depending on how big they are an overscale one could be just the ticket.

I have no idea how tall the tiny head-robots are but the main robots are supposed to be 17cm-19cm tall They make several different ones so far (that I know of) : Hardhead, Skullsmasher, Wolfwire, Highbrow, & Brainstorm (who comes with 2 guns).

Minor difference in colour on some of them like Hardhead having smoke glass not orange. and Skullsmasher having a grey head.

No sign of any overscale Titanmaster vehicles yet though.

Having played with PMOP for a bit and looked at some pics, I think that in many respects Legends Super Ginrai is the better toy. He might have "eh" feet due to their retool to go with Godbomber and look more like the original toy (instead of keeping the Magnus feet), but his forearms and guns (ESPECIALLY THE FOREARMS) are decidedly the better design. Due to the positioning of the trailer roof panels on his forearms, PMOP can barely grip the UM-holdover guns and can't wield the combined hammer mode. Said roof panels lack slots for the rifles to attach via their handles, only holes for the 5mm pegs, and so the barrels end below the level of the front of the roof. Ginrai repositions the panels and while he doesn't add handle-slots, his new-mold guns sit high enough that their barrels clear.

... wait, what? PMOP should have specific slots below his hands to be able to hold his guns, not 5MM holes.

That was not even remotely necessary, nor will it be tolerated. No one was talking about the Wei Jang figures until you made your post, so forgive people for not understanding.

By the way, that's a KO, so it's supposed to be discussed in it's own thread/ a Wei Jang thread, not the official TR thread.
Please respect other forum members. Proceed.

Look at Rar's post directly above the one where I asked my question. Look at the last line of it.

The 5mm ports would be the ones toward the rear of the trailer.
Those slots really only seem to be good for just barely giving enough clearance below his hands for him to hold the guns in robot mode. The guns don't tab into them in vehicle mode much though it looks like they should. You can put the guns in them in vehicle mode if you open his hands a bit, but you can't get them to stay upright that way.
Or does tabbing the guns into those slots in vehicle mode actually work on other people's PMOPs and I just got unlucky?

I apologize for that oversight, I thought it was RAR's signature because of the row of dashes. I overlooked it. That does not excuse your continued aggression and unapologetic attitude, especially toward a staff member's instruction. Second and final warning, continue and I'll call in a Mod to deal out a more serious punishment.

Alright, I'm sorry. Annoyance at oversights doesn't give me the right to be snappish and snide, or to unload old frustrations at being treated the way I treated Wreckerjack for my own oversights on forums in the past...

Thank you. I appreciate that. I hope you understand I was just trying to keep Seibertron friendly, no hard feelings or anything. Please, continue with your discussion.

Well played. On all sides.

Carry on.

I love this place.

Cheeky background-less unplanned shot of a few of my favorite TR dudes so far (Voyager Megs notably absent because he's downstairs and I'm lazy). Much as I give some figures in this line their share of flak on occasion, on the whole I still adore Titans Return and the figures it's been seeing put out.

(And yes, three-quarters of these figures are ones that I've acquired in the last four days. Yes, there's probably some new-toy bias going on. No, I don't think I should reconsider. )

Totally agree on all accounts, Qwan!

TR has been a wonderful line for characters old & new, as well as mixes from multiple lines/flavas of TFs over the decades....
And I love coming here to Seibertron -- you all understand my love for all-things Transformers.

Aww thanks!

I am also glad I am not the only one who associates that song with Black Shadow/Sky Shadow. I mean it could work for TFP Wheeljack too.
