I'm loving Triple Changer Megatron, and Gnaw looks pretty good.

Let's just pray that Hasbro might make some changes. Also, those chest stickers contrast disgustingly eye-sore-ishly well. Silver paint would look much better with those too.

It's on display, you know how bad those can be sometimes. They look like the hinges will go over and lock in

if that was directed at me, I'm wondering more to how well they lock in. Which we probably won't know until someone has it in hand. Unless someone at SDCC can Ask Hasbro to demonstrate that joint's rigidity.

Which one, Buzz Aldrin?

A jet and a tank? I'm sure I'm not the only one that sees Blitzing to follow suit.

ya know with a bit of retooling you could get an overlord out of it too.

just sayin.

It's pretty much been proven that Megs is just an early release of a repaint of Blitzwing, just like what they did with Sentinel/Astrotrain. Smart business choice, but slightly annoying.

Is this what the infamous shadow was showing for 2017? This bot in both modes meaning to make us think of Overlord with separate vehicles, but in actuality, it's just his triple-change modes?

That would be mean of them...

On the positive side, Thunderhoof has similar joints and they are really solid.

Its the reverse actually. The display is always more painted.

It would make sense for it to be Leader class, but this would make sense as a cheap compromise. I feel Hasbro is a bit more generous than that though, even if we don't always think so. It is possible that Overlord is actually a new class or something BIGGER than Leader, and that class is going to have a consistent gimmick of splitting into two vehicles? Could this be also a good way to get a less pricey Star Saber? I could imagine a larger size. That'd be awesome if they brought Supreme class back.

Well either way, I am very much liking all the guys overall. While yes a Prime and a Megs are necessary, I like that we are getting so many characters that are in need of new toys, and they are getting fairly good ones to boot!

I'll either probably wait for Takara's Megs, or paint Hasbro's myself.

I have to say...Titans Return is the first line...well, ever, that I've wanted pretty much every figure from.

will it depend on if you want the Fortress or Cerebros head for the smaller guy?

I must second that. Even the repaints/retools look great.

Agreed. Soundwave does look awesome, and different compared to Blaster. And the coloring makes Sentinel and Astrotrain so different! Can't wait for that guy!

Why are the other SDCC reveals in their main subject topics but this one is in its own topic? I saw people talking about the reveals in the TR thread and was like "what did I miss?" I don't always pop by the front page. Would you guys please standardize your formatting?

...wait how did this go from Megatron to Fort Max?

For once I actually want not just Soundwave, but Blaster also!!! This is a dream come true! :'D

You guys are gonna pick up those 3 crashbash toys then?

Ahh nobody even thinks about those except for me when I want to do a custom, or the News Crew.

I read "Megs" as "Max". my bad

and Will no I will only pick up Clobber. But the repaints are good. Sentinel is good for those who want him, while Astrotrain looks excellent for me as the retool/repaint. Soundwave, who I will not buy since I have a good one I like, is a good job as well that I would buy if not for the other figure I have. They are doing good, just don't have to buy em all

I can't speak for Springer. But for cost reasons, I'll be avoiding the Titan Master class entirely.

...everything else though, they will be on my shelf.

I have a feeling that the Titan Master packs are gifts for customizers. Now instead of buying two figures and switching the heads, now we can just buy one figure, and one Titan Master, and make whatever character we want! I think Chromedome could make a good Nightbeat custom.

I can't believe Gnaw is happening, that's amazing! Megatron looks pretty great too, but I might wait for the inevitable Blitzing version. I'm kind if hoping we see a Broadside in this line.

I completely agree, this new Megs would be waay better if it had some silver paint on it. Gnaw looks great, hopefully this means Kickback may come soon. Bumblebee looks awesome, but I want the Goldbug version. Aside from all that, the Apeface head looks pretty good on Galvatron. Just a bit small but still good.

I can totally imagine Broadside being a leader, and him attaching to Fort Max.
