I think if "Combiner Force" is the third line, then Titan Wars is the trilogy's name. Also Predaking would probably come out in Combiner Force.

The trilogy's name is Prime Wars

I will happily take Broadside and Nautica if they are indeed things. I take all rumors with grains of salt until I see official images or actual toys on display, so I remain skeptical, but hopeful. Also: get Highbrow in there!

Remember though, these guys have been right on pretty much everything. I'd say it's a good idea to trust them.

Also, from the rumors list:

Scaleface wrote:Upcoming Headmasters will include Brainstorm (may or may not be a reuse of the Voyager Generations mold), Chromedome, Hardhead, Highbrow, Nightbeat, Siren, Horribull and Skullcruncher

Yep, they have been right, I just prefer to keep hopes in check until they really have the chance to shine. Anyway: Nautica!!!

With our luck, it's probably gonna be a retool of Tidal Wave.

Naw, that is Broadside's job. I'm hoping for an original mold

To be honest, when I heard the words "Titan Wars" I got my hopes up for characters like Omega Supreme, Scorponok, and Trypticon.

I'd kill for an entire wave of nothing but citybots.

If Broadside and Tidal Wave are coming, I really hope they are the same size as Fort Max and Metroplex are. They probably won't be. But still, it's what I would want to own.

They were said to be voyagers.

Bummer.

While the series is called Titans Return, I do believe that all three will be released. For one, Trypticon was the winner of a vote for the next Titan class in November, and he will be released in summer 2017. Given this release time frame, and the fact that all figures have a 2 year production cycle, all three of them had to have had some work done on them.

What I find interesting is that with all the rumors and everything surrounding this line there has been absolutely no mention of hosehead, fangry, or snapdragon. Everyone else either has or is rumored to have representation in some shape or form. Hopefully this doesn't mean anything and we'll still get these guys.

Yeah, I had similar thoughts. I'm glad Trypticon is coming. And am glad he isn't a repaint of that Bayformers Grimlock like some people were worried he'd be. I was hoping we'd see the prototype at Toyfair. Oh well, maybe they'll show him at SDCC or something.

I'd love to see Fort Max / Metroplex sized versions of the following...

Big Bang
Black Zarak
Brave Maximus
Broadside
Dai Atlas
Dark Nova
Galaxy Shuttle
Grand Maximus
Grandus
Guardian Robots
Halonix Maximus
Metrotitan
Omega Supreme
Overlord
Roadfire
Scorponok
Sky Garry
Sonic Bomber
Star Convoy
Super/Ultra Megatron
Tidal Wave
Trypticon
Zarak Maximus

I'll never get them all of course, but still, it's what I'd be into.

Hear that? that's the sound of my keyboard as i frantically punch all these obscure characters I've never heard of into TF wiki.

That's damn impressive

EDIT:

TF Animated leader megatron would make a great stand in for Super Megatron:

The first time I ever saw TFA Megs, the first thing I thought of was Super/Ultra Megs. It's one of the few TFA figures I own.

We'll probably be lucky if most of those get even non-Titan class figures. Trypticon is coming in Titan form of course and certainly Omega Supreme and Scorponok stand the best chances of happening next. I'd say after that is repaints so Metrotitan, Black Zarak, Grand Maximus, Brave Maximus, and Omega Sentinels/Guardian Robots. Can probably ignore anything that Hasbro wouldn't be interested in since these are a big gamble already and Takara Tomy probably wouldn't make Titans on their own. That basically leaves Tidal Wave, Broadside, and Overlord from your list and really only Overlord seems to have any real potential as a popular character.

Plus there's also other potential future Titans like more Devastator (both a G2 version and Autobot retools have been rumored) and a new Predaking. Personally I want a giant proper Sky Lynx (missing from your list) if Predaking ever happens. People have also theorized that Prime Wars will lead to a Titan Class Primus and possibly Unicron at the end.

Except on one of their most important points which was that these deluxes were bigger and more complex than anything we had previously and were thus a new standard/class just sharing the same name. Hasbro talked about this and said its the complete reverse, the whole idea of keeping the size class name is that they are sticking to what we have come to expect from that size class recently.

I dont think anyone said that seriously, it was just hyperbole to show how cheap hasbro could be. I mean would hasbro make a Titan Class toy which is a retool of another one from a few years ago?



Oh wait, never mind.

MemphisR56 wrote:TF Animated leader megatron would make a great stand in for Super Megatron

Hell yeah, he is definitely the inspiration for that toy.

Speaking of interesting Megatron callbacks, did you know that Tianium Fallen has the body of Stormbringer Megatron?

Eh, they really only have just the tracks positioned on the back in common. Even TFWiki says it's only loosely based on Megatron.

seeing as we're getting Star Convoy coloured Laser Prime w/ 2 heads, does this mean that Grandus is now a possibility?

Stuartmaximus wrote:seeing as we're getting Star Convoy coloured Laser Prime w/ 2 heads, does this mean that Grandus is now a possibility?

No, No he's not. Not even a remote possibility. There's no connection at all.

Definitely not

Hasbro has done easy Star Convoy homages in the past so the idea of doing a Laser Prime that can be repurposed as Star Convoy doesn't really change anything.


(Note that this is the same line that had the Super Megatron homage pointed out above)

I wasn't trying to predict what's coming out. I was just sharing what I would want to own. I understand this is akin to people in Hell wanting ice water.

It's not just the tracks. The arm cannon design, shoulder pads, general stature and proportion, transformation scheme & alt mode are all the same. The only things really that different are specific panel shape & detailing.
