DO you mean, the "Klaus Incident"?

I wasn't aware that was what it was being called now

What 'Devastator fiasco'?

Did someone steal an entire Defvastator from Toyfair or something?

Allow me to explain, last year at this toyfair, it was the first time devy was being shown off but of course it's supposed to be a private event and everything is hush hush (till it can be revealed a few weeks later at new York with all the glitz it needs)

But last year, someone took a picture of devy and leaked it for the world's first look at devy. It wasn't a great picture but it was enough to confirm his existence and get everyone theorising about it.

I am very much hoping Fort Max appears at toyfair. I want to see this behemoth so badly!

I would be surprised if he wasn't as I expect them to show off how his base will interact with the base mode of the other leader class toys. I want to see if there is anymore surprises lurking in the form of deluxes and who we get in the wave 2 voyagers

I'm hoping for some wave 1 or even wave 2 stuff

Don't be so hasty, he may of meant new York, which is open to the public and very welcoming to the public

I was referring to the toy fair in a few weeks. Last year it's where we saw Devy and Defensor, so I'm hopeful!

Put your First Order Stormtrooper helmet on, get your riot control baton out, and call me a "TRAITOR!", but I nicked this off of TFW2005: what was shown at (the much heavily secure than last year) Nuremburg Toy Fair! This part is Titans Return related, I posted what was revealed for the Platinum Edition line here. Besides that, nothing new appeared, and (frighteningly) no Computron nor Liokaiser was shown off. Anyway...

Titans Return:

• Titan class Fortress Maximus – said to be very massive and very G1-accurate
• Most of the already-known TR toys in package, including the Deluxes
• Leader class Powermaster Optimus Prime – said to look very nice in person
• Titan Masters Apeface – new reveal
• Legends class Wheelie – new reveal, is said to be very G1-ish with a windshield that opens to have a seat for Titan Masters
• Leader class Blaster
• Leader class Soundwave

Note that Apeface is labeled as a "Titan Master"... looks like he's getting the Nightbeat/Squeezeplay treatment and is just getting a head and a vehicle for right now (though rumors are abound that later in the line that characters like this will receive the real deal treatment, and that these are alternate heads to use).

I had a strong feeling Wheelie was going to show up in this line for some reason.

Not like he was leaked with the currently-known Titans Return Legends, Rumble, and Ravage or anything.

Guess I haven't been keeping up.

A Wheelie that can be piloted by a headmaster. Fun!

well duh! of course Fort Max is gonna be massive! since the mold is taken from Generations Metroplex! i think we already kinda gathered that!

So I wonder how many more of the movie and season 3 cast are going to appear before titan returns end

Fellow Seibertronians, Thanks to member Mindmaster we now have information from the Nuremburn toy fair that he was able to find from TFW2005. Here's what Mindmaster had to say:

What do you make of this information? Does it make you excited for Toy Fair next month? Sound off in the comments section below, and stay tuned for more information!

Yeah, we were supposed to get Gnaw too. Plus, this always did look like Wheelie:

Technically, that's not true, he is using very few parts from metroplex, most notably the thighs and upper arms, that's it as far as we've seen, so there is a great deal of room for him to be augmented with new limbs and a more proportionate torso.

I'd say it'd be easy for him to be larger than gen metro

Stuartmaximus wrote:well duh! of course Fort Max is gonna be massive! since the mold is taken from Generations Metroplex! i think we already kinda gathered that!

But Generations Metroplex wasn't that massive. He was tall, sure, but he was more on the skinny side and very hollow.

Well, with his proportions (and complete lack of heels/ankles) if he were even the slightest bit weighted, he would be a falling hazard

We should all expect for Fort Max to be just as hallow. Hasbro has made their current trend quite clear.

I mean I liked Metroplex but I didn't think he was THAT good. You're holding fort at very high standards.

I really look forward to a double headmaster though

If true that makes me very happy. Titan's Return Deluxe Class Nightbeat! (Fingers crossed )

Wrong 2016 robot ape, Hasbro. Now you're just messing with us.

I have less of an objection to "reused" heads if they at least made the head another colour or offer some other decoration difference to them.

If Apeface (the one that is essentially Squeezeplay) or Nightbeat do ever get their own robot modes then I hope they don't just straight reissue the exact same head. I'd want at least the eyes to be another colour for example.

If there is the option of Comic/Tv deco and Toy deco for example do that.

As I've said since the line first started to be shows - I suspect that some heads are odd colours simply so they can sell you the same head twice and the one you have to buy as an extra will be the one in the "proper colours" just to mess with you.
