If they do one, I wish they would do all 3. I would buy all of those.

Just from CW, red prime shelfwarmed in my area up until white prime came out, who shelf warmed less than red prime but still for a while. Both of those were the same price point as the TR voyager prime. That will also make 4 primes within 9 waves. Too many versions of the same character leads to shelfwarming (see Bumblebee).

You can only call it shelfwarming when the toy of a previous line is there next to the new line, like what happened with Bee. Because before then it is impossible to know if all those primes you saw a few weeks ago are the same ones and it wasnt a restock. If CW Prime is still there when TR Prime rolls around, then you can call it a shelfwarmer, till then we cant tell. And all of the ones near me are sold out and have been before christmas. As for RID, parents buy both, heres proof below of what someone bought in line next to me, both CW and RID. Which kid wouldnt want both?!

To be fair, these are the same leaks that other have been seen for a while now. They dont keep showing new ones, its a big batch and its taken a while for it to trickle down to us. So only one person needs to stay anonymous once or twice and the rest is up to whoever that person gave these too. Some among us saw these before (months ago) and didnt leak it out.

Speaking of speculation, are we sure Optimus will have 2 modes? I dont see anything that would tell me he turns into more than just a truck. But even then, what else would you guys think he turns into?

SideswipeSkywarp wrote:No more Targetmasters or Powermasters? And no more deluxe individual Technobots Hasbro?

What do you mean no more? Hasbro never said we would get them individually and when Titans Return was announced it was pretty evident they were moving on. Count yourself lucky you have a chance to own a Computron and arent stuck having to import one.

I am totally getting that vibe but I think its just because its still rough, as Deadput says.

That Hot Rod car is Classics Hot Rod. I know it's already probably been said, but just wanted to point it out.

Also... SIXSHOT WOOOOOOO! Is it just me or does he look a bit like leader class Blaster in the torso and arm regions?

Maybe we'll also get an Overloard.

Pretty sure Overlord was already leaked/teased. And it was pointed out that Classics Hot Rod is just a stand in.

I'm skeptical about Sixshot. Something about that art seems off.

He was? That'd be awesome.

Yeah I already knew it's not the new toy. I mean, they have an image of Hot Rod's cartoon model for robot mode.

Hoo boy.

I've been clamoring for the likes of (non-Movie) Targetmasters and Powermasters since Transformers reimagining lines (Classics, Binaltech, Alternity etc.) always seem to touch on 1984, 1985 and the Movie, and then just give a few vague wavings in the direction of 1986 onwards.

Now we're getting all the non-Junior Autobot Headmasters, all the non-Junior, non-Horrorcon Deception Headmasters, and even a dip into Targetmasters, Powermasters and Monsterbots. I can't even complain that everyone's a Headmaster now. I am 100% behind Titans Return and can't wait for it to hit stores.

Teased at the end of the Hasbro's Brand Panel at Botcon with this image. Don't think actual toy images have been leaked though.

It was a botcon teaser. Supposedly a 2017 release.

Man! I got too many toys to get!

That part, I can agree on.

If I could, I'd get all of them. I'm really not getting the dislike for the Optimus figure, he looks well cool.

I like Megatron, Prime kinda, Sixshot YES, and yeah... I have like 6 million toys to get it seems between all the different lines.

Yeah he's a cool G2 Prime homage.

all mine

Not sold on the prime yet, but that megatron...looks like I'll be getting two autobots out of that double pack

Doublecross looks awesome, I love kaiju inspired designs.

Time to stop eating hey?

That G2 headmaster prime gives me hopes of a new Scourge for RID anniversary? LET'S DO IT!!!

Also the idea of RiD Scourge as a titanmaster to go with Fort Max would be interesting... then they wouldn't need the human to activate him?"

TR is starting to feel as wallet busting as CW was. At least there are less straight up re-paints.

I have no interest in that Optimus Prime unless he gets a repaint as Scourge. Or Nemesis Prime.
EDIT: Of course as I was writing this someone else posted about Scourge.

Am I the only one that doesn't like the idea of these new molds being used for the Decepticon triple changers? If they do use the Optimus and Megatron for Octane and Blitzwing I don't see them turning out well. You only can really see one alt-mode in the robot mode and to me one of the stand out features for the Triple changers is that they have parts from both alt-modes in the robot mode.

We just got one not too long ago. Twice, even!

I zoomed in on Doublecross's Titanmaster, and it looks suspiciously like a certain white lion Battle Beast I know of.

Those were deluxes though. It would be nice to get some in a voyager scale.
