Word is they will be answering some fans questions, giving more details on some upcoming figures, confirming some stuff rumored from other sources, and be announcing one new big figure we have NOT heard about yet from ANY source! Stay tuned!

Hint - The new figure, like most of Titans Return, is someone from The Rebirth and/or the Takara Headmasters series.

Based on the "big" and the fact that it's from The Rebirth/Headmasters, my money's on Sixshot.

nah! Sixshot would probably be a Voyager sized figure....maybe at a stretch...Leader Class.

he said BIG so probably....maybe....Primus? or my theory from a while back.....Grandus! coz Grand means big! the only other one i could think of...would be Dai Atlas.

It's probably six shot. The hint said He was in rebirth and neither of the ones you mentioned were part of it.

neither's God Bomber! but it's still rumoured that we're supposed to be getting that

Not all of these are from The Rebirth/Headmasters. This big one, however, is.

ah but what Rebirth source material are they going with? is it the cartoon? or the comics? coz the comics may have characters in it that the cartoon didn't! unless Rebirth was only just the cartoon?
dunno if there was a comic story called Rebirth which is why i asked, coz i don't read the comics.

but hey, don't get me wrong! i'd love to see a Sixshot(since i've got the WST), but seeing as the emphasis was on the word BIG then i've no other idea of who it could be from the cartoon? unless it was someone from the comic(if there was a comic?).

but i'm sure we'll find out

what if they're doing a scorponok in leader size, since he didn't win the fan vote?

...only other 'BIG guys' that appeared in Rebirth/Head Masters prominently that I can think of are Raiden and Predaking

i doubt it would be Predaking!(unless it's the TF Prime one) coz there's not really combiners in this TR line(dunno what you'd classify Sentinel as? partsformer?).

Just because there's not any combiners now doesn't mean there can't be some down the line in box sets. And what does sentinel prime have to do with anything? He's a regular transformer there's no partsforming at all unless you count the headmaster gimmick as partsforming.

Predaking eh? There was mention of him now I remember, something along the lines of the Decepticon clones. Also memphis, don't tempt me with the idea or notion we could get a raiden out of this :PRAY:

Also sentinel is just a normal tf so I don't understand the partsformer thing...unless its linked to your earlier mistake of thinking he transforms like energon omega supreme (or gaogaigar choryujin, or animated safeguard)

In the not to distant future we will have a collection of Decepticon animals, then going further forward Trypticon so if they decided to fit in something like an animal themed Combiner Wars type combiner that would make a lot of sense - they could even in theory mod back the other way some of the Headmasters - and if that isn't feasible starting with something like the Seacons gives you a few potential further uses including possible Sharkticons, and also the Crocodile Titanmaster mould could be altered to make an Allicon potentially too.

The advantage of the seacon is they have several repaints built in to them and there is potential to still make them Targetmaster capable too. with the hand-foot-guns even making a decent stand for the stand-alone cannon modes too.

You could likely lightly remould Snaptrap into a Dinobot character of some kind too.

But Seacons would be on my list before Predacons as frankly we have more options for those than we can count and a lot fewer options for 1st & 3rd party and KO Seacon toys.

Exactly. Gun and Spaceship modes are essentially just the wings moving. Transport and tank mode are pretty close too. and then the beast mode is robot mode on all 4's with a new head. It wouldn't be hard, and I would think a leader scale for Sixshot. He was always shown to be a bigger brute.

At this point though I dunno about Godbomber, but I think others are possible, but maybe not here. We are getting some japanese themes and homages, but maybe some more of those will come down the line towards the third arc or something. After all, so far all the titans return guys are movie/3rd season/Rebirth TV show dudes, so I can see them keeping with that theme for the line :MAXIMAL:

Yeah, I could buy that. Remember all of those images where someone made the CW Voyager Hot Spot do everything that Sixshot could do?

Nope.
Could you post them again?

I would if I could find them.

It was it's own thread!!

A rather amazing 6 Shot update has already been done by one of the 3rd party companies. Hastak doing one should be no problem at all.

Also my thought path. I have looked extensively at Terminus Hexatron, and even for 3P he is simple with some mode changing. :MAXIMAL:

And since there is no honour among thieves, he has been KO'd and its a good quality KO too for only 24.99$

ZeroWolf wrote:It won't be grandus as he didn't feature in any tf cartoon series and dai atlas was only in zone not the headmasters series.

Based on rumour and conjecture, six shot seems likely (plus an repaint into sixknight is instantly doable) as for size class he could be leader but that's doubtful as he would have to have a base mode. Voyager presents similar problems as so far they have only been triple changers.

I could see them doing sixknight as sixshot's head, since he'll undoubtedly be a headmaster. They've already made soundblaster and twincast into heads for soundwave and blaster, so they're clearly up for using old repaint names as the heads.

No confirmation yet on which size class for Sixshot.

I'm going to say he's a leader. They have a lot of modes to cram into him and while most of them are simple changes I just can't see it successfully working in Voyager dimensions. I'm extremely happy with this news though.

Slightly disappointed in double cross though. I was really hoping for a Voyager sized figure but the podcast says he will be a deluxe. Oh well, I just hope the other monster bots will come down soon too.

Have the whole list:

Transmissions Podcast wrote:1. Titans Return Voyager Alpha Trion's third mode is a "lion", and his Titan Master partner is named Sovereign. On the back of his box a Titan Master Brawn head listed as a co-sell, in the same way other co-sells were listed on the back on the first wave's boxes.
2. Laser Optimus Prime will be released in 2017. Unknown if it is in Titans Return or the next line. He is a Voyager, but no confirmaton that he is a triple changer. He has two heads, one based on Laser Optimus, and Star Convoy (one head may ship separately or be part of another figure).
3. Tank Megatron will be released in 2017. Unknown if it is in Titans Return or the next line. He is a Voyager. Has MTMTE influence, chest swirls, tank turret on the back. Comes with both Autobot and Decepticon stickers.
4. They are confirming the rumor of a Titans Return Deluxe Hot Rod heard from other sources, very G1 looking. Could share some Chromedome engineering/transformation, but it's a new mold.
Titans Return Deluxe Getaway, repaint of Chromedome, with IDW style head.
5. Titans Return Deluxe Triggerhappy. New mold.
6.Titans Return Deluxe Monsterbot Doublecross. (speculation, he could be remolded into other beasts)
7. NEW FIGURE! Titans Return Sixshot. Size class unknown, could be Voyager or Leader.
More next week.

For some reason, the part about megs coming with Autobot stickers as well as traditional decepticon stickers pleases me almost as much as the bit about sixshot.

Also Sovereign, I've played too much Mass Effect to not think poor Alpha Trion is undergoing the effects of Indoctrination and is under the sway of the reapers. Nice to know that he has a lion mode though, just to settle that little disagreement.

Didn't we already get a Tank Megatron in the CW line?

btw could also see Powermaster Prime redone as Motormaster

Yes, yes we did.

And also, no, I would hope they have no ideas what so ever before they give us a uncombinable motormaster that doesn't even scale with the onslaught they gave us way back in the universe line. If they want to make a decepticon powermaster op then they'll give us scourge (probably not likely since we already have a scourge in tr) or just good ole nemesis prime

Voyager class this time around, and rumoured to be triple changer with a jet mode. Potentially as a second usage of something designed to be a new blitzwing.
