Misfire would be awesome, but Triggerhappy will be my first deluxe con of the line

Just retool the nosecone and head and boom.

I actually really like the look of Triggerhappy.
Hmmm...
What's the price point on these deluxe figures?

I also have a feeling my 8 yr old would dig the heads being able to transform into tiny bots and cruise around in the alt mode.

Botcon showed that - at least in North America - they'd be the same price as the Combiner Wars deluxes. I'm pretty sure the Voyagers, Leaders and Legends also have the same prices as in Combiner Wars.

Right on. This may be one of those decisions made once I see him in person.
So the bots that are the heads must be pretty dang tiny then. Which is understandable. But I don't play with my figures, and usually keep them in bot mode. So not real sure this line is for me.

I love headmasters.

They're around the size of the targetmaster guys that came with 2013 Generations Legends. Y'know, the little helicopter that came with Legends Bumblebee and the Roller that came with Legends Optimus. I think they might actually be a little smaller...

MSRP of Titans Return deluxes is the same price deluxes got raised to mid-2015, $17.99. This probably means Target will have them for $15.29, Walmart for $14.97, and Toys R Us for $19.99.

While we have had official stock photos of many Titan Return figures since their reveal, they were all CG renders. As the release date for the Titans Return toys approaches, we are getting new stock images featuring the actual toys. Here are some for Fortress Maximus, Blaster, the various Titanmasters and Galvatron. The Fortress Maximus photos show us taht his hip accessory can detach. It is left to be seen if he can use those hip cannons in his hands too. We also have pictures for all the Legends and Deluxes classes in their packaging

These images come from mejorjuguete and hobbybrinquedos.

Actually, we have seen that accessory before.

It's the box-looking thing on his left leg.

Looks like they gave the production version of Fort Max a bit more color saturation. The brighter reds and blues do look nice. The more muted tones from the computer renders were quite drab.

100% agree. And thank Autobot N, I mae the modification in the news.

what happened to galvatron? lots of boring grey. he used to be all silvery.

What weird is they didnt even use this grey plstic for PMOP, which has brown plastic instead, what the hell.

Sometimes stock photos make the product look bad.


I remember that the CW Leader Megatron had some bad posing and one batch of photos had him have grey plastic instead of the silver paint the toy actually has.

...Fort Max doesn't have a firearm. It's bad enough he doesn't have the sword (which is why I'm goin' with Takara), but he does even have a GUN?! Come on!!

Wasn't Galvatrons head called Megatron?

Not a huge fan of the grey plastic they're using. Hopefully it'll look better in hand.

No, Hasbro has never referred to Galvatron's Titanmaster as Megatron. They've just been calling him Nucleon, meaning the fact that he looks like Megatron is a fun joke.

Wow. I didn't think Galvatron's jet mode could get any worse.

Oooooof this is getting expensive. I'm actually having a hard time talking myself out of any of these now, even Blaster and Stripes!!

Why you do rose colored glasses?!

I think because the boombox is so outdated (sad to say ) I think HasTak should have gone with a giant portable speaker. They're big on the market of all sizes.

Heh, Chromedome's art uses Getaway's head!

Cybertronian jet

Cybertronian vehicle: An excuse for an alt-mode to look like nothing whatsoever A futuristic-looking alt-mode that kids probably think looks awesome.

Eww that color of grayish-brown plastic on Prime just looks disgusting. Same on Blaster.

I'm just not liking that city mode on Fort Max. It just looks like the robot splayed out (and the battle station mode already looks like that). Please tell me the legs open up or something.
