The two other sets aren't coming as they originally were planned to anymore. We're only getting the first two this year, and the change of plans is what led to Cloudraker and Wingspan getting put in a Walgreens two-pack. If we get the remaining two sets next year, they more than likely won't be in the same form that they were originally going to be.

Was this confirmed? I have been struggling to follow the box sets news with opinion assumptions and facts all blending together in message boards.

Not only does it mean that yet another fembot is relegated to being a retool (at least HI I'M WINDBLADE was a heavily modified one) but they seriously missed an opportunity to use that canned Override/Nitro Convoy exclusive concept instead. For one, the mold would actually suit Override, but more importantly she's a character who hasn't gotten a new toy yet and whose existing toy is a bit "Eh" at best. Or heck, they could have done Elita 1, whose only toy is a redeco of Cybertron Thunderblast.



I mean, on the plus side Legends/Generations Arcee already exists so we do have a decent Arcee toy, but this still seems kind of a waste. I get it, Arcee was a Headmaster very briefly, but given that Blurr doesn't really look anything like G1 cartoon Arcee it doesn't do much beyond lip service to the concept. I am glad they didn't go with Chromedome though, that mold would not suit Arcee at all.

Assuming that the Titans Return Arcee card art is legitimate, and the list of six previously unknown Titan Master names from the Trypticon Crunch poster, I think Leinad is the Titan Master for Nautica. The card shows that Arcee is a retool of Blurr, but we've already had three character uses of that basic mold, one of them being a pink-ish purple female character, e.g. Nautica. Another use as a primarily pink female character would be a little much, even for cost-cutting Hasbro. I bet that Hasbro originally intended to do an Arcee remold of Blurr, but changed their minds and made her Nautica instead, since there is such demand for that character (who has never had toy representation before) and Arcee did get a pretty definitive figure a few years back in the Thrilling 30 line (and a rerelease in the Autobot Heroes set last year). Or, perhaps Hasbro tried to retool Blurr into Arcee, but had trouble getting the alt mode and/or robot silhouette to look right, so they went for Nautica instead, which looks like a much easier retool, honestly, with just the new shoulder fans added. So, Arcee probably was going to get "Daniel" as a Titan Master to reference "The Rebirth" episodes of the G1 cartoon. That doesn't make sense for Nautica, though, so they just reversed the spelling of the name to make a "different" character to be Nautica's Titan Master partner.

Thoughts?

Would you prefer socialism?

As for that supposed Arcee, unless it's confirmed by Hasbro, it's just Photoshopped fan-wank to me. The pose of the figure and the layout of the card is inconsistent with every other TR release so far. But if Arcee were to be a retool instead of an original mold, Blurr is the best choice.

The exact same thing happened to Cosmos and Seaspary's cards.

Remember all of those leaked TR arts that everybody said were fake like Six shot and Astrotrain that turned out to be legit?

And the fact that this is a blurr remold and not a new mold on the card makes it all the more likely it's real because no fan is going to know what it looks like.

guess this means we will get him as titan master only. Personally, i don't mind, as we already got a proper ultra magnus on combiner wars.

These are from one of the cancelled-maybe-not-cancelled boxsets. That would explain the lone Titan Master, the mold re-usage, the different borders that are inconsistent with the rest of the cards -- AND the fact Hasbro kept tip-toeing around Headmaster Arcee whenever she was brought up, and hinting more towards POTP than TR. It's looking like these boxsets might be cancelled and these are just the remnants that are showing up now, scattered across the murky catacombs of the internet. Shame too, I really would have liked Arcee.

I don't think their cancelled just yet since box sets don't have to abide by the same rules as normal standard line products I think. (correct me if I'm wrong)

I think they might be saved for POTP but if I remember correctly wasn't Computron and Liokaiser released after CW was over?

Also, what's the point in arguing? Just wait and see.

That's definitely the mold that already appeared for Hyperfire, Stylor and Teslor. Just his face looks a bit different.
