I agree. I don't want several characters like that to only be in a box set when I want them separate.

The Titan Master class Optimus Prime could be the Star Convoy-based head that was supposed to come with the Voyager in addition to the G1 Laser OP head that it does come with (despite the Voyager sporting a more Star Convoy-based deco in its robot mode)

When you say it like that, it sounds terrible. But these aren't the higher end collectibles of Botcon. It's like a big box of characters at around their combined retail price. That just stinks to me

There's some cool stuff here, but they are ruining Ramhorn after they already ruined Apeface... :/

I legit don't care for the Titan Master class as a whole....

Awesome, a reuse of the lione figure, that's great, love me an evil tiger shield

That Cosmos annoys me because of this whole trend of re-making guys they just did already, but at the same time he's the one I'm most interested in seeing...

But it also means another chance for a solo retail Scrounge

That's not an entirely fair comparison. Sure, BotCon made a lot of neat stuff, but rarely anything I felt I must have to complete a retail collection. Not after the Games of Deception set which Hasbro had to back pedal on and redo half the characters for retail. BotCon sets work since they're often standalone sets, but to do what's described with mashing new characters together with better painted versions of figures I already own is the wrong way to do things.

I feel like Cosmos will leave a lot of people disappointed. Think about it, there's only two ways for them to do him in this line: either he'll be compromised to fit a Titan Master inside him, or he'll turn into a mobile device to stick in Blaster's chest. Neither of those options sound too great to me.

Ok, time to recap the rumored figures:

Titan Master Class
Repugnus
Optimus Prime
Ramhorn
Shuffler
Trizer/Toraizer

Legends Class
Cosmos
Seaspray

I believe Legends Brawn was debunked as a communication error.

Deluxe Class
Quake
Krok
Topspin
Sergeant Kup
Perceptor

Voyager Class
Broadside
Blitzwing
Octane/Tankor
Tidal Wave with Powerhouse

Wait... as we never had a G1 Tidal Wave, and lost trademarks are plentiful in TR, wouldn't it be possible that Tidal Wave is Broadside's new name?

Leader Class
Magnus Prime

If I remember right, since Brawn and Gnaw were both planned as Legends originally (and canceled) whoever leaked the names assumed that would still be true for Titans Return. I think someone else said that Hasbro said the missing Legends figures would be released soon which added to the confusion until Titan Master Brawn was revealed.

Emerje

Some interesting stuff here though some of it was obvious, like the triple changers. Though talking about them, last time we had octane he was renamed tankor (giving us thin tankor in IDW) So have they got the rights back for that name? I mean it doesn't bother me if he is tankor but it's a curious thing.

Also these rumoured box sets, aren't the autobot heroes platinum sets a similar composition? I.e. A leader class, a voyager class 2-3 deluxes?

Why would Galvatron be rereleased

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:I believe Legends Brawn was debunked as a communication error.

It hasn't been debunked anymore than it's been confirmed. The miscommunication thing was speculation

Tidal Wave with Powerhouse

Powerhouse is not Tidal waves titan master. Powerhouse is a die cast exclusive titan master not associated with a full body

Leader Class
Magnus Prime

You forgot quickswitch and Overlord

As far As the box set rumors go every rumor that's been released so far is here http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/1046898-transmissions-podcast-titan-wars-leaks-rumors.html and the strength and speed rumors are at the episode 157 point and goes down. The post says they're lines but when listening to the actual podcast it's unclear how they're being released, box set makes the most sense to me though. They also talk about a Voyager optimus in the speed set but I think that too is a mistake.

Bumblebee21 wrote:Why would Galvatron be rereleased

It's just what Hasbro does for different waves. For instance, the recent Wave 2 has their Leader class be made up of Soundwave and a Powermaster Prime re-release. Fills up the assortments.



I really hope that boxset thing is fake. I don't want to have to get two more deluxes, a voyager and a frikkin' leader just to get Nautica, especially when I couldn't care less about Quickswitch and the autobot clones. I'm sure they'll be great toys, but I'm kind of on a budget and want to prioritise MTMTE. If they're really gonna do this I'm actually gonna be a little angry.

cool beans

Wait, it says items 3-5 + Voyager Prime. Nautica is listed as item 6.

Oooooh!! Great idea! You don't mind if I steal it, do ya?

Clones!!

Some pretty neat rumors here.

Bumblebee21 wrote:Why would Galvatron be rereleased

Same way Voyager Motormaster and Onslaught were rereleased in Combiner Wars. Its just a way to keep toys on the shelf without making new toys. Only 6 voyagers got released in 2015, but it seems 2016 has gotten 7 voyagers.

You are missing a few here no? Like pounce, wingspan, iron apex, Nautica, fastlane, cloud raker.

My speculation, to be exact I'll believe it when I see it. But I do hope for it, I wouldnt mind more Brawn and the fact that we are seeing the same charactes appear in multiple classes means nothing is off the table.

Yeah that was the transcriber messing up. When Nautica was first rumored they said she was part of the speed set. When they talked about her again they just talked about mold choice and I think he forgot she was apart of the set. They never revised the rumor saying she was a stand alone figure.

I wonder if Titan Master Optimus Prime will be coming with a vehicle that looks like Roller? If so I might have to get that.

Dammit. Guess I'm not getting Nautica for a while then...

I mean I could be wrong and the strength and speed sets are just fun names for waves, but it doesn't seem likely. They're one deluxe short, there's only one Voyager one titan master and no legends figures. Plus with all the other rumors this line would have to be a full two years to fit everything.
