Thanks Albatross, I have now made news of it and given you a news credit

I'm sorry if I'm late on this one. I just opened my Sixshot which is great in robot mode. But when I tried to transform him into his jet mode his nose cone is a pain in the a$$ to keep tabbed together and buttoned up.


Was this common for most and if so some solutions? My thanks in advance.

Yes its a common issue. Make sure you have it centered properly and that all the tabs are connected, especially the ones that act as his heals in robot mode. It should work if you line it all up perfectly and squeeze it.

So, I gave into Pressure...

I have been skipping most of the Titan Masters because I really have no love for the little head dudes and thT kinda made their vehicles unimportant. But I got Shuffler, because everyone seems tobrave about him. And, I had previously tried to do him up with a Micron Ozu and got the colors way wrong, so this seem3d like a good fix.

Dude, Shuffler has got to be one of the best examples for this pricepoint. I think what I love most is, you dont need the little head dudes. Shuffler is on his own, a fully workable elephant that turns into a passable tank. The Head dude hole is concealed on the bottom and not screamingly obvious in either mode, whereas thw others, and I get its by neccesity for the play pattern, have a giant hole in their chests. (Repugnus, Fangry somwwhat). I want more little guys like this though, who are stabdaline good figures and not bogged down by the gimmick.

No? Just me?

Standalone? Vehicles that look good without Titan Masters would include Loudmouth's, Nightbeat's, maybe Brawn's, Ptero's and Terri-Bull's/Skytread's. The first two look ridiculous with a block randomly attached, they work perfectly without them.

Disagree on Ptero, that thing only looks good in dino mode.

Anyways, if one wants good small figures for a very low price point, the Tiny Turbo changers are the way to go.

We got hundred of figures you describe, they were called Minicons.

Thanks!, now the Decepticon Targetmasters are now complete, it's time to wait for the Autobot Targetmasters Just mostly some Re-issues from the previous waves, like some Deluxes suffer from Design flaw i guess

And those things only Exist in the Unicron Trilogy, not neat

No they don't.

No they don't.

Generation 1 has them too since 2006, as do Prime and the Movies (via PCC and Armada imports). The name "Mini-Con" or "Minicon" has been applied to any smaller partner robot, be they Targetmaster (Universe 2008 Nightstick), Ammonite (Gen. Centuritron) or anything similar. And I don't like that one bit.

It is true that Unicron Trilogy and Generations-style Mini-Cons turn into independent forms, not needing a bigger figure (or "Bulk"), or functioning as a glorified accessory.

Man i hope Centuritron is re-issued from Power of the Primes...

So wait, Targetmaster guns are minicons?

Nightstick was called out as such in the "Battle in Space" set:



... but technically he isn't.

Plus, these targetmasters are all minicons too





Plus some RID minicons even had ports to recreate the minicon gimick to attaching to bigger bots

as well as Arms Micron

I worked very hard and made many sacrifices to make that G1 VS TR display.



But there is ONE MORE G1 VS TR that I had for a while that I completely forgot. Kinda in-your-face...



Also, new sig. Because screw you, Photobucket.

Yep. And happily I have buckets full of them at my disposal. I meant specifically to this line and future (although I hold no excitement for the poseless Pretenders. ...)

This is supposed to be TR Overlord's spot. So, she's the placeholder. >^x^<

Thanks to a listing on Entertainment Earth, we have news about an upcoming case revision of Titans Return Deluxe Wave 4 coming this month. While usually Titans Return's fourth Deluxe wave contained 2 Perceptors, 2 Kups, 2 Top Spins, 1 Krok and 1 Quake per case - as seen in the standard Wave 4 listing - this is instead set to contain 2 Quakes, 2 Kroks, and 2 each of the Wave 3 figures Triggerhappy and Twinferno as re-issues. So if you missed out on any of these figures previously, you might just be in luck! Check out the case contents below, click the link to buy this case if you wish, and tell us what you think in the forums!

What are you talking about? Stores near me have had this revision case for weeks. Sadly it won't sell for quite some time because the figures looks pretty drab, but it'll tide over until wave 5 thankfully.

I have a creeping suspicion that this case is going to make finding Slugslinger a lot harder to find.

I just found a review of Cogman by Kevin Liu.

This ain't the TLK section bud.

I don't need this Wave 4's been out in my area for a few weeks now and I've managed to snag Kup and Topspin and I hope to get Perceptor really soon. I'm saving the repaints for TFcon DC
