It's like if you find out someone is planning a surprise party for you. It's really hard to fain excitement when the moment comes.

I guess the good news is, when the line finally drops, there will still be the excitement of the hunt.

Meh, cw put the wind back in my sails, but now that its ending, they're gone again. RiD's got some okay stuff, but they're not doing the 's that I wanted from the show (not that I'm watching that annoying mess anymore), stoked for Scorponok, Astrotrain, Skullcruncher, and Wolfwire; that's 'bout all that I've got my sights set on - outside of some hts promotions.

As for the leaks, I enjoyed the piece-meal leaks, what I wasn't a big fan of was the weekly lists detailing everything we'll be getting for the next 2 years - that was too much

I really hate the leaks. I think the constant leaks are currently the worst thing about Titans Return. Zmultiplier is currently one of my least favorite people on the internet.

Yeah, I can see that, I guess since I grew up with lego magazines - in which they often teased upcoming lines - that I'm okay with picture fragments :-?

Cos I mean, that's what I'm gonna do due to how many people here have expressed their dislike in leaks, and it's not like it's news that came officially from Hasbro. Just seems fair...

This is a transformers news site though. There is a standard amount of traffic but only a handful of people are expressing their dislike of leaks. It wouldnt be fair for those that come here not to get the latest news in upcoming transformers, regardless of where it comes from. If we were only to use official reveals from hasbro, we would only get reveals every 4 months or so. I hope I dont sound inconsiderate but its a bit hard for a news site not to post the news. We do announce them as leaks so anyone who has a filter on their web can ask for it not to show headings called "leak". Or just know that when they read the title not to click.

Well yeah, but... it's not like there couldn't be another thread for discussing leaks so those who click on this thread and have avoided clicking on the news about leaks would have to hear about them.
But if that's not alright then it's cool, I won't keep arguing for it

Making a different thread is a good idea. I will bring it up to the admins. If you see a change in the next time there is a leak, you will know it was thanks to your recomendation. Also, never be shy to tell us how we can improve our site, we welcome all feedback

With the release of Titans Return toys slowly creeping onto us, we now have some of the actual stock images of the toys, rather than renders. These are from Amazon listings which list them all to be currently unavailable. Below you will find the newest stock images for Rewind and Stripes in all their modes. Enjoy!

On a side note, it seems like a special someone leaked spoilers again....

Okay, WJ.

I'll be on the lookout for news

Goddammit IDW and Hasbro. I never thought I could be this excited for friggin' Rewind to the extent of loving every new image of him.

News Credits: 42 · by **TF-fan kev777** » Tue Apr 26, 2016 12:30 pm

Okay so 2 things I noticed on Rewind, I'ts looking like ipad/datapad is going to be the new mode, except Rewind's stickers make him look like a cassette or at least a mini-cassette recorder.

Also, one of the stickers is already out of alignment/coming off in the stock photo. That can't be good.

Trust me, having seen several Buzzsaw's in the wild already, it's definitely not good...

The Stripes art looks totally badass.

Will they be like the "Rebirth" HMs/TMs? The personality would be downloaded in their auxiliary memory box aka their techspec meter while the mobile exo skeletons are piloted by a separate being (human/nebulan).

Or the Marvel way, similar to Rebirth of sorts except the Nebulans are more earthlike

Or the Takara way where the body is inert and the actual "Blurr" is the mobile head?

From the packaging for Titans Return, it seems like Hasbro is doing them like 'The Rebirth', which are my least favorite G1 episodes, so I'm just going to pretend they work the Takara way. I much prefer Takara's fiction for the Headmasters over Hasbro's, anyway.

Nothing Reprolables can't fix, right? And some sticker remover...

Perhaps, but with as many tablet-formers as we will probably be getting, it doesn't bode well, especially for fan favorites. I honestly would have much preferred some simple paint apps to look like circuitry, or something, reminiscent of the foc data-hockey-pucks... *sigh*... such wasted potential

I wonder which route Takara will go for the "Data Pad" figures. Maybe they could tampograph some designs on the "screens" instead?

Talk about wasted potential, that would be incredibly boring if they just did faction symbols.

I'm not asking for much from the tablet-dudes, just that they don't use these sh|tty stickers that hasbro's using, all I'm saying is that, if that was all we got, I'd be happy, it's not like I'd be displaying them in tablet mode...

There's nothing wrong with the stickers that they're using, I own Buzzsaw and have transformed him dozens of times without damaging the stickers. If you don't mess with the edges then they'll be fine, they're no different than any other sticker.

TR Galvatron is one of the ones I look forward to. It's a vast improvement over the G1 version, which looked nothing like the movie/cartoon version. And even an improvement over the Universe version, which was more like a Rubik's cube puzzle....

Remember not too long ago when we got a look at the stock images for Rewind and Stripes? Well, thanks to A.B.Gee, we have our first stock images of Sentinel Prime, the upcoming triple changing voyager who is definitely not Astrotrain dressed up in orange and wearing a Prime mask. There are 3 images shown in the listing, with the packaging, the train mode and the robot mode. No spaceship mode though. We have mirrored the images below for your enjoyment. Check them out, and let us know what you think in the comments section below. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

Wow, he's both bright and bland at the same time, really wishing that grey was darker, or that the red was darker, as is, he's so bright and un-detailed that everything is lost on him.

Oh cool a Prime that is not a truck and is using two cool gimmicks as well with a cool colour scheme is this not cool guys seeing something somewhat new?

"sees comments regarding opinions on the figure"

Of course the famdom hates it why wouldn't they?

Who hates it? I just said the deco is nothing like the renders, and that the colors aren't helping it; guess you missed out on how I've said that I wanted him since he was revealed >:oP
