Does anybody have a picture of Mindwipe's Headmaster hanging upside down in his chest?
Can't wait to see that.

Then again, his hands, whatever weapon he comes with and his tank treads could be gang-molded. Maybe the SDCC version since they aren't in the CG images?

oh yeah, good point, i completely forgot about those, maybe Hasbro thought that with them he'd look too much like Warden or something, i dunno?

That's probably the rumored SDCC Windblade / Brainstorm double pack from the Transmissions Podcast.

News update for November 25th, 2015, episode 141.

1. Soundwave's Titanmaster will now be colored like G1 Soundwave, not SG colors as previously reported.
2. Titanmaster Deluxe Brainstorm will be a remold of Titanmaster Deluxe Blurr (new head, and adds wings).
3. There will be another Windblade figure, who is not a Headmaster, potentially a repaint of RiD Windblade.
4. SDCC set will contain Sentinel Prime vs. Brainstorm and Windblade.

Is that his ship mode nose section on his arm and if so can it be taken off and put on his back? There are aspects about this Brainstorm I like (it's got nicer feet than the Voyager) but there's bits that annoy me too. I'm still very much undecided about all these original Headmasters as Titanmasters and they are too small for my main group of Transformers but I dunno... I feel like if I saw one in Toys R Us I might pick it up, which is something I haven't felt about Combiner Wars much at all.

Chromedome is definitely a heavy retool of Deadend

Yeah, the arms and the back kibble (front of the car) are definitely the same (transformation). But the rest is very different, so really heavy retool. Or they just borrowed that transformation scheme like they did with CW Brawl's legs from Rook's.

Welp, looks like another tough year for my wallet as I will mostly likely have to get the entire line
Which is both awesome and devastating

The head/chest piece is also the same. As are the the crotch, thighs, knees and the panels closing around at the lower legs
However, this mold has separate feet.

I think the deluxes are the highlight of the line so far. The voyagers look a bit funny...Leaders are ok. Fort Max is spectacular due to its size. We'll see how it turns out in hand

transformersofficialIn his alt mode, #Transformers Titan Master Emissary combines with Deluxe Class to unlock unique powers.

transformersofficialTogether, #Transformers Deluxe Class Cerebros and Titan Master Emissary pilot Fortress Maximus.

Now that I look closer at the legs, that's true.
To me the Voyager's are also highlights. I love Triplechangers and will definitely get Sentinel and Alpha. And let's look foreward to what they haven't revealed yet. Still waiting for Broadside. He will at least be or should be a Voyager but they could also make him a Leader class and let the base mode look like an aircraftcarrier.

Is Alpha Trion a triple-changer?

All Voyager figures are triple changers. Alpha Trion is a Voyager. Ergo.....

I think someone has already said that chromedome is his own mold but borrows engineering from dead end the same way g2 smokejumper and energon starscream do.

@deadput that's sentinel prime in that picture with windblade and brainstorm, not a generic con or a predacon.

This brings up an interesting question, why put those three in a set?

Personally they should of had a really nice set of chromedome and rewind as the exclusive

Windblade fighting Sentinel Prime?

Can't wait to see that.

From the official render's silhouette, it seems like the head might flip up into part of a backpack. Don't seem to be able to see it hanging off his butt.

As for the other stuff, I'm all in, they all look great. Well, except for the figure of Eject cosplaying as Rumble, that figure is a real shame. Oh who am I kidding I'll probably still get him, too.

Emerje

That's just an official bad photo shop the real figure has a proper Rumble head

That's good to know. I thought it looked like a different head from the Seibertron video, but didn't want to get my hopes up.

That SDCC box set sounds interesting, but I wonder just how much they can improve the paint to make them worthwhile. We know Sentinel looks great already. Brainstorm looks like he'll be in blue as he sometimes appears, especially in the Japanese Headmasters show. Windblade, I don't know, I've already got two deluxe figures from Hasbro, I don't know if I need a blue RID Windblade before we even get a properly colored one (too much read on the head of the one Hasbro showed). I'm thinking Takara Tomy will probably do a blue Brainstorm this time around and a proper TAV Windblade so I don't know how much need there'll be for this set.

And all Leaders, too.

Edit: And all Titan Master vehicles.

The main thing that I want from this series so far is Sentinel Prime. (Maybe Galvatron, Alpha Trion, and Powermaster Prime if I find them for a good price.) (Also, to me, Frenzy is RED, Rumble is BLUE.)

I have a feeling I'm going to be picking up a bunch of these figures. Dang it!

Can't.
Get away.
From.
Generations!!

I'm sure that Sentinel is one of the baddies in the Prime Wars.

Fort max would be nice but I already have metroplex and I'd rather try get the g1.. but ya never no. Hope the crotch is blue, the crotch screw holes don't show (Still think it looks like it should go the other way) and his fists are blue in the final version.

Skullcruncher, mind wipe, chromedome, blur and hard head are all buys. Blaster and soundwave yup.

Optimus, he could do with a darker shade of grey but I'll get him or the Takara version.

Sentinel, nope will skip. Brainstorm might get depending on price etc. I'm happy with my generations one.

Astrotrain, yup.

Wheelie major yaaaas. Really like it, my recent new found love for legends figures means he'll be a nice addition considering how rubbish the character and toy were. It's like he's getting a chance at redemption.

The little headmasters, if they were released as sets of 4 I'd have been more interested. The accessories / vehicle thingies they come with are a bit rubbish.

Frenzy, rumble. Bah. Not feeling them much. Might get them as I've never had a representation of these guys and Soundwave needs his minions, but they're far down on my list as are the other cassettes.

I'm glad combiner wars is more or less over, means slightly less figures to purchase.

Oh don't wanna jinx it but they haven't released a bumblebee in CW or Titans returns lines have they??

I like Fortress Maximus a lot, but his colors are just . Hopefully, the colors change, which will most likely happen. If not, well, that's just what we get from Hasbro until we patiently wait for Takara's take. Not hating on the figure itself, just the colors.

It's been said already, but everything looks awesome! Getting everything except Brainstorm, because I like the voyager.

Any word on the Computron or Liokaiser images, or are those still just rumours?

So I was right about Brainstorm being G1 Toy accurate-focused with a faceplate, and not based on the cartoon.

Now I'm wondering if Takara's gonna give ol' brainy a mouth remold when he travels across the planet.
