I guess it's a 5 mm peg to peg it somewhere into with a Headmaster sitting in it like we saw on a 3D render of Fort Max's base mode with Skullsmasher's tail.

Ah right. I haven't seen that. Just noticed on the Blurr render it's same colour as the surrounding area but on the actual toy in the photos they're not even trying to hide it as it's coloured in his darker blue.

Cool. Zoom into Blurr, it looks like there be a hinge behind the neck area so I'm hoping that's whatever piece the nosecones attach to can be used to simply flip those onto the backs without removing them. If so then great.

I think so. Just open the picture in another tab with a right mouse click. And you can see two rectangular pegs on the shield and two rectangular ports on his shoulders. So that's very likely to just flip over and peg in there.

I wish I could afford new TF toys atm. This whole line looks like the ideal spot to jump back into new stuff.

I can't see a single figure I don't like. They're all awesome.

I am pretty sure he cant. It just attaches to his arm just like the G1 Blurr toy which the original mold is imitating.

Transformers G1 1986 Blurr Gallery

I was hoping it'd be storable on the back too.

I can't wait to see a rear shot, so I can start planning a structural mod that makes the guns removable from the shield and the sheild stow away. Doesn't seem like it would be too difficult, really.

Well from looking at the back of Blurr we're fairly sure Brainstorm can hold his nosecone on his back too and I'm gonna guess the guns are removable cos it just makes sense for them to do it that way rather than mold a whole more complex piece of having the nosecone and guns all as one. Hopefully we'll see pics of Brainstorm wielding the nosecone guns in his hands at some point soon.

G1 can wait, they've been around for 30 years, they'll be around 5 years from now. And plus, as Hasbro rereleases G1 toys, the value of the vintage ones will go down a bit. So you can afford to concentrate on current toys for this year. That's the plan I am going for.

Look at the pics I brought up, we can see it stored on his back.

This just in for Titans Return Rumours

Someone saw an internal document from Hasbro describing upcoming toys. One of them was Godbomber which is made with the attention of serving as an add on to Gen Power Master Optimus Prime. There was no image (just placeholder) and as we all know, not all toys mentionned see a release, but this is still a fun idea that really surprises me from Hasbro.

If they do it, I will certainly buy Gen Power Master Prime.

If the godbomber rumour Is true (I have doubts) then it would be awesome and Japan can get their god ginrai :-)

as can any fan if super god masterforce. ..

I'm now looking to see if there are any hardpoints on TRPMOP that Godbomber could mount onto... =P~

Actually, lets look back just a bit at recent history.

There was a Trailbreaker in ...

2008 (encore):

Transformers Encore Trailbreaker (Reissue) Gallery

2010 (RTS):

2013 (prime):

Funny enough, in the Prime line (begining with First Edition and ending with Beast Hunters), there is no Jazz, or Cosmos or BlueStreak or Sideswipe...but they did have a Trailcutterbreaker:

Oh and 2013 also gave us Generations Trailbreaker and in 2016 we got a new one that can combine.

So all in all, I think he's had a nice amount of toys. He's definitely faired better than Ironhide in the west with 2 superior Classics toys.

ZeroWolf wrote:If the godbomber rumour Is true (I have doubts)

I have doubts too. Of everything I heard, this is the one that sounds the least likely to me. But then again if I was told Takara would make a toy of IDW Roller that teams up to for Galvatronus I wouldn't have believed it.

Delta Magnus wrote:Eh. The 2013 Voyager looks better.

I agree, but mainly by principle that it's a unique mold made just for him (was never used again) and trying to capture his IDW look to a T. Thogh I must admit, I really hate that Arcana, his arms... :SICK:

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Fri Feb 19, 2016 3:46 pm

If the rumour was that takara was coming out with godbomber then I wou like doing be more optimistic but hasbro...For starters I couldn't see them keeping the name, things have changed greatly since Deathsycthe Hell had to have a slight change when dubbed into english (not to mention G Gundam getting many changes)

News Credits: 19 · by **Stuartmaximus** » Fri Feb 19, 2016 3:54 pm

Godbomber! sounds interesting! kinda half expected Takara to be doing it, but good on Hasbro to be taking a stab at it

The name shouldnt be part of the reason though, simply because it's not called godbomber. I just wrote that because it was less confusing to know what i was referring to. This is what the post (by matrixholder) was:

Since it's already out there, yes there is a power up trailer called apex that is a separate robot that turns into a trailer that combines with power master Optimus prime being developed by Hasbro.

The fact that the titanmaster is already called Apex makes this a bit less believable.

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Fri Feb 19, 2016 4:01 pm

Yeah when they put it like that, it suddenly becomes even less likely. Almost like they've just read up on the reissue power master prime that cane with godbomber (now rechristened apex armour) for the first time in the west, and then thought that was the route hasbro was taking here.

Do I not get a news credit for finding and posting it here first or did I do something wrong?

Sorry if that sounds greedy at all but I was wondering about that.

Posting what? In any case, to ensure a news credit, you have to follow the proper channel and send us a message. I don't know how clearer it can be since I made it part of my own signature with the right link. As its written "If you have any news, rumours, or hot new sightings to report which you feel should be front paged, please contact us using this form."

If it's about the recent Brainstorm news, Mindmaster sent us a message so that's how we saw the pic of Brainstorm and found the coloured one and he gets a news credit.

Who knows, maybe he'd be released as Burning Bomber

prob coz you didn't go through proper channels! they're very particular about that!

personally i don't really see the point of news credits, coz it's not as if you get a discount with them for online purchases or something!

but hey! that's just me
