Shake that tail (feather) skullsmasher!

Anyone got some music for him to groove to?

Here's a song he can shake his tail to - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02U0orY7JJ8

More good news for Irish TF fans, Titans Return Voyagers are now in stock at SMYTHS for €32

Man, he really is massive

Man, I was tempted to get sentinel at bbts, but he just doesn't look very good in those plastic colors, that combined with the inflated price guarantees I won't be getting him for a while

But man, what is it with bbts' absurd prices

Like, why would I buy Wheelie for the price of a former movie deluxe

And yet, at BBTS G2 CW and Victorion are same as Amazon ($100) and Fort Max is a very reasonable $150.

Probably because they're more expensive/less likely to sell for various reasons. The g2 are very specific homages and recolors to boot. The likelihood anyone would want to double up is slim, especially if they also dipped in the uw stuff too, so they keep them competitively priced, if they really wanted them to move, maybe they should've undercut the price a little. Oddly enough tfsource labels theirs as 9% off already, talk about some bs marketing

Do the mega moon man metroplex knee upgrade parts work on fort max?

I talked about this in the pre-order thread. For all the inflation in prices for say Onslaught, Fort Max is really reasonable...

..... so who is getting multiple scourges for sweeps......

......and which sweeps will be commandeered by apeface or Terribull to have a full sized body,


actually which fiction do you follow for this, the current US style, or who is thinking the Japanese style, and having the bodies as lifeless transectors?

Multiple Scourges for Sweeps works for me, definitely. It also helps that we got a previous Generations Scourge to lead them and differentiate from them (I know it's technically not accurate to have them be different, but I personally prefer it that way).

Fixed that for you.

I dont follow any fiction. I just have fun with the toys.

I create my own fiction

I might get a Takara Scourge to lead my Hasbro Sweeps. Meant to order Takara awhile ago but house stuff popped up.

I loosely follow IDW fiction for shelf displays. It's been more enjoyable to me than US G1 was even as a kid in the 80s/90s.

I'm gonna be going by Japanese Headmaster fiction for these guys. I just think the Japanese Headmaster fiction makes the most sense.

So, I think everything except the deluxes just dropped for me at BBTS. My poor wallet...

Ouch

That's the kind of sticker shock you never forget, and considering the size of the pol, neither will your delivery man

I have Galvatron coming from BBTS, and the wave 2 Titan Masters and a couple of duxes from a Facebook seller. This will help me decide how I feel about the line

Well I went to my local Fry's today, and in their toy aisle I found.... no Titans Return. But I did find a CW Leader Starscream, who I have previously only seen at a convention, and some RID15 Warriors for $13.99, which I think is literally the best price I've ever seen them at. I may pick somebody up.

CW Starscream in my TRU has been like shelf forming for the past 2 years. Defesor team all sold out except for 1st Aid. Mix on the Optimus Maximus and Bruticus team. Skylynx team also mixed availablility.

Considering he hasn't even been out a whole year yet...

I swear all my stores skipped straight from Thundercracker to Skywarp, but I digress.

Skullsmasher and Hardhead are bought on sight..... as long as they're like $15 or less. I don't want to pay $36 for two deluxes. >< I don't know how much longer I'll even have that option though. Damn inflation.

Fellow Seibertronians, new official photos of Titans Return Leader Class Soundwave were found on the German retail site Brandora. As a retool of Blaster, Soundwave shares the same robot, boom-box, and base mode, but now features his trademark 'battery-gun'. So check them out, and let us know what you think of him in the comments below.

Tell me about it, it's getting obscene

Probably gonna pass on Soundwave, too much like Blaster but blue.
