And now in Titas Return, hasbro has released both a version fo Gnaw and Brawn

Oh hey, we're getting two six-changers in this line!

I wonder if they had enough sense to make Gnash anyway and use that as part of a Takara Campaign release... we could do with a few more Targetmasters still - Windcharger needs one as does Skywarp (another wasp ideally).
I wonder if Powerglide at any stage of his development was designed to have one. I expect not as he's got the weapon mode.

Thundercracker was slated to have a properly colored Venom for Thrilling 30, but he got replaced by Acid Storm with Venin, I suspect for greater color variety in the line. Had Windcharger come out earlier, he'd have come with a red Groundbuster redeco due to being gangmolded. As for Skywarp... Bugly maybe?

There's something charming about the way he's packaged.

And after getting Tailgate, I certainly can't say my previously-gotten Windcharger is worse off for not having Groundbuster. Worst transformers toy I've ever had; literally every mode is useless and there's nothing you can do with it.

What about the grabby claw gimmick? But yeah the gun and robot mode are really awful. Such a 180 from the targetmaster that came with gears/swerve).

Oh and ETA for new reveals is 2 Hours

Wait we're getting a new reveal?! Since when? Where?

Grabby claw gimmick just does nothing, really. And even when I don't like the robot mode of a figure, there's times I can usually like the vehicle mode - like, for instance, CW Brawl - but Groundbuster? ... I really don't know what he is. He's just sort of a 3D triangle with a claw on top. I hate him.

Gnaw is looking good.The robot mode is pretty stumpy but that's Gnaw I guess. The beast mode is what really matters and that looks awesome.

Groundbuster aka Neutro is supposed to be a "bomb-disposal skid-loader". The bomb-disposal part comes into play in the Legends Manga:



I don't expect you to hate him any less, but the more you know. He's also handy for plucking a certain Mini-Bot who got stomped on by a giant mechanical Dinosaur out of the ground

I am so glad I only have a class at 2PM tomorrow. Bring it on.

Holy crap, if these ever show up on our shores I will buy them all. They're so cute! I'll have to get some of the 3P larger Sharkticons to go with them as "fully grown" Sharkticons, with Sharkticon Megatron as a "Pack Leader". Question is, Unique Toys or iGear for the bigger sharks?

Overlord? Instant buy!

Broadside is a must!

Is the Brawn head compatible with the new Brawn as in complete body?

Kickback arooga!

2017 will be along waaaaaaaaaaaait!

Dammit, I want EVERYTHING!!

New York Comiccon is upon us again and Seibertron is there to bring you the latest reveals. Here is what we have found on the show floor in Hasbro's preview event on wednesday night for the Generations Titans Return line. Below you can see images of

- Leader Blackshadow: Appears to share the same mold as Overlord since his alt modes match the previous tease from Hasbro. He also appears to come with 2 titan masters.
-Leader Sixshot and all his six modes
- Voyager Broadside who comes with tiny jets on a sprue for the aircraft carrier mode.
- Voyager Optimus Prime
- Legends Brawn and Kickback
- Titan Master Repugnus and Fangry
- Deluxe Triggerhappy, Hotrod, Twinferno and Getaway

UPDATE: Megatronus, who was there on site had this to say about the small jets that come with Braodside:

you'll notice Broadside has 5 tiny jets - these are separate pieces that will come on a sprue, and peg right onto Broadside. John Warden just said they took the original CAD designs of the Aerialbots and scaled them down

We will keep updating this news post with more images so stay tuned.

Frothing at the mouth.

That Sky Shadow's gonna make a wonderful Overlord!
Leaked pictures of Broadside were real; nice to see.

PERCEPTOR!!!! I love him.

Repugnus is adorable

WJ88, you can finally stop being a Legends Brawn naysayer

Did not see Black Shadow and Overlord sharing a mold. Also, does he come with 2 titan masters? They have 2 standing by him in base mode...

Not gonna lie I lost my $h!t when I saw Black Shadow, Perceptor, and Brawn. And I thought I didn't need another Generations Preceptor.

Now Brawn has a full body? I wonder how the Takara backstory will retcon this or even acknowledge the Headmaster incarnation at all. Brawn is a must have together with Kickback, Overlord ,6 shot and Broadside. Speaking of which, Broadside took a lot of cues from the FP version with the small vehicle accessories.

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!

Gimme all that!

Two titan masters is a giveaway plus the SR-71 + tank combo. Overlord! Oh Yeah!
