I was just thinking about getting some more Windblade goodness, and that headsculpt sold me hard. Have we seen the Titan Master? Is it - gasp - a tinier Windblade?! (or Vigilem?!?!?!)

I wish. Probably a comic design I'm not noticing at 1 in the morning.

'Fraid it's nothing special Just a Fracas edit



Also, I was a bit triggerhappy with the article; totally forgot these two images. Editing now!

I wish she would get a generic army builder redeco esepevially since that mold would work perfectly for some neat aerial ninjas.

A generic Titan Master means it could be anyone.. hmmmmm.. foots are aplan.

It only uses Fracas' torso and upper legs though - the lower legs, arms and head are all new. Makes me think they're referencing someone specific; I WANT to say Metroplex, but that head doesn't seem quite right... very confusing.

I don't know if I should take this as "foot" in generic army builders or just Va'al being Va'al,

Sorry... i really had to do it xD

I've been scowering google images and can only guess it to be a pre-Jihaxus Srcee. Head shape matches and so do lips, only the chin is more prominent and it has singlasses.

Where's the Widow headshotting her from across the map?

Though considering in the comics she doesn't take up the fighting role that much...

Yeah, I remember there were a lot of efforts to work out who the TM might represent back when we first got stock images. IIRC we couldn't find anything that fit very well back then either, so I wonder if it might be possible that it's actually a new character/design? (Though admittedly I can't find any images of pre-Jhiaxus Arcee so Terrolspix might be right, I don't know.)

Have we had any 'new' Titan Master partners in the line so far? "New" as in an original design, not just a new name or nominally-new character that's just the bigger guy shrunk down. Especially given that as a character who's (seemingly) primarily defined by IDW, I wouldn't put it out of the question to have this TM design be almost an "advance preview" of a potential new character to become Windblade's TM in possible future tie-in material.

(Though I guess if the head design (not the rest of the body though) resembles anyone, it kiiinda looks like Nautica - another prominent primarily-IDW-based female character? Not that it would actually be her, more just like a visual homage to a superficially-similar-character. It's probably not that though. *shrug*)

I looked at Nautica for a while but the chin on this was too strong and the glasses didn't match. I also never found a pre-Jihaxus Arcee, I'm only speculating at what he might have looked like, and why I think this would be a match.

It doesn't quite resemble anyone she'd be closely affiliated with - Mistress of Flame, Chromia, Starscream, Caminus, Metroplex, Victorion, Pyra Magna, Arcee, Aileron, none of the Bee Team, none of the handful of characters that showed up in Combiner Wars...
...
Oh dear god, what if Scorchfire's made up entirely for Machinima Titans Return? It'd make sense, right? Machinima Prime Wars focuses on her...

Wait what

Nah. An easy pass for me. Not keen on jetformers with big wings not even trying to hide in robot mode.

Do you like Terradive? Does TR Megs pull off enough compression?

Man, IKR!

Beefy, yet still completely feminine. Maybe this time she'll look more like a jet from every angles.

I'm looking forward to see her in store. She'll be a insta-buy for sure.

You say that but I'm betting good money you'll turn her into a combiner torso that forms a sword and submarine. Somehow. Primus knows what goes through your head.

Never bought Terradive cos I don't like the robot mode in general.
I forget TR Megatron even has wings. They fold up quite tidily behind him and are not part of his front silhouette.

I'm talking mainly about ones like Windblade here and seekers where the wings are displayed pretty much as if the jet just stood up on it's nose cone with pretty much no attempt to even fold them away. I've always hated that. Wasting shelf space...

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE UNLEASHED!


TBH, I DO have a project coming on. I just need to find two more CW limbs for cheap.
You WILL expect the unexpected.

Check hasbrotoyshop's eBay page. Not sure if they still have CW limbs, though.

I was testing the extremes and the middle. Closely held wings that form armor, and slightly folding wings that are barely obtrusive.

I said, FOR CHEAP.
Buying anything from HTS, even a paper clip, give me a 30$US charge MINIMUM in shipping.
I'm not exaggerating.

Do you live on the international space station? Also they give free shipping anywhere on orders over $50.
EDIT: free shipping on over $15
