THE DREAM

Triggerhappy looks really good with Getaway's head. It's actually quite a good looking headsculpt now that I'm not distracted by a wall of white plastic.

Edit: Also, GUN HANDS.

Indeed so I was in there today - they had a whole end cap of Force Awakens stuff some of which I don't remembers seeing before.

I managed to get a Half Price Rescue Bot Playset and a Titans Return Blaster they also had a few bits of Marvel stuff and one or two nice branded soft toy obviously they are building up towards Xmas now. I was in there 3 weeks ago and they didn't have naff all bar one RID Minicon.

There is another Branch not to far away I'll have to see if they have anything too - They also had a nice selection of Dinosaurs for those into Dinosaurs.

No Sky Lynx unfortunately. But i'm sure going to be keeping a close eye on the other retailers that get this sort of thing once Halloween is out of the way and Xmas stock starts with a vengeance.

Its starting, we are now seeing all that stock Walmart Canada bought from Hasbro online now:




Let the Wave 2 saturation begin!

Thanks for the clarification on all the Triggerhappy confusion errybody. It had me scratching my head as well. I did some hardcore comparisons too.

TH and HB are BoS Dem gun hands

I've been very pleased by all the deluxe TR figures I've picked up so far.

You're welcome Errr, if you came to the conclusion he's not a retool, and he doesn't share parts with anyone that is (see my previous post for pics).

I wonder if that was inspired by the G1 original? The guns were attached to the wings, but looked like they attahed to the wrists in vehicle mode.

Speaking of the G1 original:

Notice the different noggin? I wonder if we will see that later down the line. Don't count on TakaraTomy, Triggerhappy uses the same cartoon head in The Headmasters.

I was incredulous that it was a retool to begin with. I honestly couldn't see it. The arms were the only thing that looked to share engineering.

Speaking of your previous post...

Blurr & Chromedome
Scourge & Highbrow
Alpha Trion & Broadside

I wasn't sure what you meant? I reread it and are you saying the TMs were the same (less the face of course) between the pairs? I kinda just ignore those little guys.

They share parts and Titan Masters; and in some cases weapons (Blurr and Chromedome have the same non-TM gun)

Indeed they are. Observe:

Stylor & Hyperfire, for Chromedome and Blurr:


Fracas & Xort, for Scourge and Highbrow:


Note the head is different

Sovereign & Blunderbuss, for Alpha Trion and Broadside:


If they share TM molds, they'll share other parts as well. That seems to be the main giveaway.

Oh man, Triggerhappy has one of the coolest although modes ever. He's really awesome all around!

Looks like Gnaw is going to be hard to find...

Looking forward to them both!

Unless the Army-Builders among us are nice and actually leave some for others to find

See? No shared parts, even the guns are different. Titans Return really screws up the traditional definition of "retool", to the point there are none to classified as such (save for the Titan Masters themselves, Soundwave and Brainstorm). However, designating figures sharing parts seems to be way to go here, and Highbrow already has a "part"ner (ba dum tsssssssssssssss) for that. Those are usually indicated by the Titan Master matching between figures. The list:

Blurr & Chromedome
Scourge & Highbrow
Alpha Trion & Broadside

While Triggerhappy seems to be an original mold, Scourge and Highbrow share their thighs and hips, the interior shoulder piece, the hands and probably the rod that runs through the middle and some other parts I can't identify since I don't own either figure. On top of sharing a titan master mold. Highbrow is what we dubbed a reshell during the Fall of Cybertron era.

You do know that in the gun-hand pic, that's Getaway/Breakaway's head on Triggerhappy, not his own?

Some my pics^^

Anyone think we'll get a Cliffjumper repaint out of Bee

He wasnt in any of the rumours, was he?

BB reminds me the Animated Activators version...

Yes, but the actual titan master that comes with Triggerhappy has a faceplate with eyes like the cartoons and comics as opposed to the original toy's mouth and visor.

I'm still expecting it, almost every G1 based Bumblebee has been turned into a Cliffjumper one way or another. However, I'm seeing an alternate route of him being used for one or two of the rumored Throttlebots, either Chase, Freeway or Searchlight.

He could always be in the next line, much like how Thrilling 30 Tailgate didn't get a Windcharger redeco/new head retool until Combiner Wars (not to mention the billions of other Thrilling 30 Legends re-uses in CW).
