Was not talking about you specifically I'm talking about those who are saying that his colors are bland (yet those like the constructicons and Optimus himself are not?) and that his alt modes are lazy due to being an Astrotrain repaint which to that I say who cares as long as the alt modes are good.

also talking about the people who don't like new things or change.

Well IMO Sentinel looks better than Astrotrain does.

I dunno why, I just want him more.

:MAXIMAL:

I like it, though it makes me want to get a megatron so I can create a diorama of megs about to pummel him :lol:

I'm not normally one to get too bent out of shape because of colour schemes but if that grey was black then it would of made the colours pop more in my opinion.

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

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

My CW Buzzsaw has pretty good stickers, though I'm probably just lucky.

"Oh, great! Let's all have a go at Rewind because he turns into a data slug and a super space tank!"

Really though, I was hoping to mod rewind so his body could contain a small USB drive but it doesn't look like that's gonna be the case, too many little bits...

Man that grey plastic for his feet doesnt look good. And haha, they gave him astrotrain's feet in that stock pic. They dont look as long here though :-?

I mean, y'know, 'new things' and 'change' don't always go hand in hand with 'good'.

I like him too but he'd probably be one of the last things I get regarding this line.

Also, gotta love how bloody derpy that robot mode pose of him is. "Here I come to save the daaaaay"

He looks decent. Astrotrain is gonna be sooooo goooood.

Warning: Much leakage!
That Sixshot art looks really fake, though. Doublecross, on the other hand, I'm in love with.

Whoaaa. Looks like some fun stuff in the pipes. This line is going to ruin me.

Fellow Seibertronians, a huge pile of Titans Return leaks have just spilled all over the internet. We've mirrored the images from Autobase Aichi's Twitter account, which include: the design specs for Deluxe Class Getaway, Triggerhappy, and Doublecross. Voyager Class Megatron, and Optimus Prime - whose robot mode seems to be based on Laser Prime. And finally the art for Sixshot, seemingly confirming that he may be closer to release than we realized, and an early mock up for a Hot Rod figure, confirming that we will be getting him.

Wolfwire and Mindwipe are also featured, though both of whom have been thoroughly covered already here and here - though, it should be noted that these design specs prove that they will look like those seen at Botcon this year (which some figures do not sometimes)

So what do you make of these? Are you excited, tired of the leaks? Let us know in the comments below.

Triggerhappy, Prime, and Megs look awesome! Not sure about Sixshot though...

News Credits: 174 · by **Hellscream9999** » Wed Apr 27, 2016 12:45 pm

Wolfwire looks awesome :KREMZEEK:

Getaway looks sick, glad I can skip Chromedome for him ;)^

Everything else isn't terribly impressive >:oP

Gonna have to disagree with you there, Doublecross and Megatron are looking mighty fine.

News Credits: 12 · by **Evil Eye** » Wed Apr 27, 2016 12:48 pm

I'll wait till we get in-hand pictures. I want to get excited about the Laser Prime and the Megatron but...I dunno.

Looks like Triggerhappy can have blaster hands. Love that jet mode too.

Doublecross looks uninspired, and Megs looks alright - not bad, but nothing special, that might change when we finally see him though.

I'm not sure if it's the perspective, but Megatron looks weird. Maybe he's too heavy? I'm just glad to finally get an updated voyager.

I want to see that Sixshot. Need to know if it's time to retire MMC's...

What the fudge is this?! I want!

Love it, love it all .It makes me insanely happy that double crosses dragon mouths make up his hands and the new Megatron is so IDW that it almost hurts. The only one I'm not too excited about is prime, I mean he looks good but I'm getting tired of hi . Cool that he seemingly comes with two heads though .

It's because his legs are blatantly hollow, that combined with the backpack filling in the blank space inbetween his arms and his body, gives him a bit of a distorted appearance :-B

Shame he suffers from monkey-arm syndrome though >:oP

Taking it with a grain of salt since it's a leak.

Happy to see a Voyager sized Megatron. If he gets reused as Blitzwing that's a bonus. Sixshot depends on size.

Unless the upcoming Hasbro version is a different size and you're REALLY picky about scale I wouldn't have thought so. I mean, no offence to HasTak (and bear in mind I don't actually own him) but I'm not sure it's actually possible to top Hexatron, short of a retool that got rid of some of the more egregious greebling.

Also, looking at the pictures of Megatron I like him less and less. He's weirdly top-heavy and his legs look very hollow- which would be bad enough on some random grunt, but on the goddamn MEGATRON is inexcusable. I'll stick with customizing my own.

A headmaster Hot Rod, eh? I'll bite. I usually do for new versions of the guy. I wonder what the odds are that he'll be MTMTE based. Some of these are VERY G1, but Magnus was very MTMTE.

I already have the 3rd party Sixshot, but I'll happily take this too.

You know, it'll never happen, but I kinda want Arcee with Daniel as a Headmaster. It was such a weird decision. I remain hopeful for a proper modern take ont he only Headmaster I had as a kid - Squeezeplay. Yes, I know he's going to come out - but only as a head. That really doesn't scratch my itch at all.
