Wave 2 is already due!!!!

I have a feeling that like the legends class during Combienr Wars, that titan amster class wont necesasrily be in synch with the rest. It reminds me of RID last year where the 2 waves of minicons (and the ONLY wones we have gotten so far in North America) came out simultaneously.

Well, that's a bugger

Case in point, wait till I write some news later today. Our TRUs have listed wave 2 of titans return before wave 1.

I got my email about wave 2 titan masters but nothing about voyagers. Maybe because I only ordered Galvatron. I still can't believe deluxes haven't been released yet

Why? Not everything is in synch and the only thing Hasbro told us is we would be sure to get all of this by fall (so late summer).So far, everything is going according to schedule with some early releases here and there.

Funny thing is, my friend just got his Fort Max and Sentinel Prime this morning.
My scottish friend.

As it turns out, those listings were taken down, so there wont be any news to report.

We're those purchased locally or online?

Wow that was a quick reply kurona thanks

1. The feet on Sentinel Prime in train mode are the wrong way round in the photos. They should be flipped into "train mode", and also kept that way for robot mode. The robot mode designations then officially differentiate it from Astrotrain.

2. Peeps could paint the grey parts of Galvy's head purple. Who cares about the headmaster figure? It's not really Megatron, anyway.

3. It might be possible to remove the redundant cockpit and attach a permanent third party head. I'm not sure the cannon mode interferes with the head's permanent position in this way?

The different size classes are shipped fairly independently of each other. Wave X deluxe, legends, Titan Master, Voyager, and Leader do not all necessarily ship at the same time. They come when they come, as has always been the case.

Indeed, I'm with you. But it would be nice to have some of those deluxe figures to mix and match with the Titan Masters...

It's not too bad - build up your stockpile of Titan Masters in preparation for your Deluxe arriving. You got all the accessories and now you have something to use those accessories on.

It looks like the head does have to be removed...but would it be so painful to remove the head and have it store elsewhere on the figure as a random part? Even in the cockpit?

Titans Return hasn't hit shelves here yet and I REALLY hope that they don't skip out on Wave 2 and then the upcoming Wave 3 here. Barley saw any of Wave 2 and 3 of CW.

Umm, I remember fairly recently all the classes of a wave being released at the same time. Combiner Wars Wave 1 deluxes, Voyagers, and Legends all hit at the same time. It is possible though that was due to the cross play pattern.

Voyagers and deluxes were the closest but even that didnt always happen. Remember all those people who had the combaticon limbs but no onslaught? There was a 1-2 month interval at retail between getting the limbs and torso.

Fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg has a nice new video review for us: Generations Titans Return Blaster. This is part of the very first wave of Leader Class toys to come out of this new line. It also has 3 forms, like all voyagers and leaders in the Titans Return line so far, and turns into a boombox, a robot and a base for smaller bots. Speaking of smaller bots, he is also a headmaster and Chuck will go through the gimmick to show how it works and how the little robot can interact with the base. Enjoy and let us know if you will be getting this toy!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Titans Return,oh how I'm torn about you. On one hand it's great to see Headmasters once again, but to see the gimmick applied to a character like Blaster leaves me, torn. Blaster is a great figure, it's fantastic to see the 80's style boom box finally. Robot mode can be a bit fiddly from the hips down, but it's worth mastering. Surprisingly base mode works a lot better than Optimus Prime's, featuring several attachment points for Titan Master figures. My opinions on the line are right down the middle for the time being so be your own judge if you want this figure.

Sorry if any of these guys have already been posted...

I'm still not feeling Galvatron. The mask/helmet just doesn't work for me ,it makes the head look awkward. However, I am absolutely sold on Skullsmasher. That ball jointed beast mode head is awesome. Hardhead looks like an excellent figure as well. I think those two, along with Wheelie and Rewind, are my only must haves from Wave 1. Meanwhile almost the entirety of Wave 2 look like must haves for me.

Actually no, this is the first I've heard of that. Was it just a Canadian thing?

No, I was referring to americans, I picked mine up at the same time.
The voyagers came out much alter than the deluxes. The deluxes were around at the end of 2015 but not the voyagers.

Here, check this page, it starts witha guy finding the deluxes in december and ends with him finding onslaught in february

Ok, so there is a fix for Galvatron, but its a bit rough:

The Titanmaster gimmick for the face creast hampered head articulation and caused the head to looked funny when turned. The mod involves just cutting the chin of the head vreast that flips open from the chest. The rest of the crest is glued to the Titanmaster Nucleon. This mod came with a sacrifice that Nucleon no longer can sit in the cockpit due to extra protrusions. However it improved the head articulation and the head does not looked recessed anymore.

Totally doing that when I get this guy, solves his appearance issues in a snap, and I'm just going to paint Nucleon to match, or at least make it close.

That looks awesome! Do we know what he used to cut it with? What kind of glue? I really want to do that to when I get Galvatron.

Wow that looks a lot better. I'm definitely going to have to get Galvatron and try this now.
