I've noticed this too. Every time they release the official images, there's always a tonne of them missing.

Count up six shot's modes there

Yeah, it's kind of weird when those vehicles are kind of the best thing ever.
Hell, I think Wave 3 is going to be the best Titan Master Wave. All of them are beasts; one of them being the Crashbash mold which everyone adores, with the other three being completely new molds that all look amazing.

That was a Va'al upload hiccup, sorry.

Optimus Prime's Titan master, Diac, is based on the Diaclone Drivers:


I love this. He'll be the first Hasbro Prime released with a Diaclone Driver.

I bet Maz is chuffed about that one!

ABOUT FREAKING TIME!

*takes deep breath*

Kickback is HE WILL BE MINE OH YES HE WILL BE MINE. Now I just need to get a replacement Shrapnel. And get a Bombshell.

Fangry is just so ludicrous that I love him. Not sure if I'll get him but I do love him.

Optimus Prime is...hmm. The robot mode looks legit great. The tanker mode is cool too. But that plane mode...BLOIK. That's bad. I don't want another Optimus Prime at the moment (being quite satisfied with...DOTM Prime...yeah, I'm weird) and looking at that mess of a plane mode Octane is out. HOWEVER, if they bring out a Scourge/Nemesis Prime deco I'd buy it.

Megatron I am somehow liking a lot more. The proportions look better somehow now. But jesus that grey plastic is horrendous. C'mon Hasbro, we got a LEADER CLASS Megatron that was coated in lovely silver paint, but you can't be bothered to paint a much smaller toy? Combined with the fact I'm working on that custom of mine, this is a pass. I may very well buy the Blitzwing version though.

Hot Rod is merely OK. The car mode is cool but the robot mode is kinda bleh.

Sixshot looks awesome. Like, legitimately awesome. Not quite as great as Hexatron, but given how expensive he is and how great this looks considering the price...I may have to buy it.

Ptero is boring. Pass.

I'll definitely get Hot Rod but am waiting to see Takara's take on him to hopefully raise him higher than a 7 out of 10 for me.

Not keen on that Prime. Megatron looks better than previous pics I've seen of that toy and he does the triple changer thing better than that Prime. They're both hurt with being obviously designed for other characters rather than unique molds.


Sixshot looks like Sixshot. Great if you liked his design but I always thought he looked like junk in every mode so an easy pass.

OMG! Revolver is based on Chromedome's friend Jack from The Headmasters cartoon, whom Sixshot once captured, tortured, and then planted a bomb on for a suicide mission.

That's a beautiful little obscure japanese G1 reference there and I love it. But there's a note of bitter irony.

In general I'm kinda loving the neat little references the guys who weren't headmasters (or targetmasters) before are getting. Jack, a Diaclone driver, Nucleon...

Comparison with official images^^

Might wanna do some comparison pictures of when it was actually Optimus



And with the previous 2010 Generations Deluxe remake

My only gripe with that Octane mold is that they could have made the cab shift into part of the wings and some kind of engines. That is lazy.

Also, I just realized why of all Primes, they chose Laser Prime to retool Octane into.
The tall shoulders. Indicative of one particular version of Octane...

We're getting Tall Tankor



(yes I realize the classics toy had tall shoulders but why would they specifically take inspiration from that one deluxe toy and not a fictional representation or his original toy)

Adding onto this like seconds after I posted but I just realised that Tankor also has the exact same fake chest windows this Prime does... and something that looks like the exact same hinge
the fuuuuuuuuu

I need this in my life.

Tbh everyone's got a lost light crew shelf; but I'm also starting to want a Blurr's Bar shelf. Because that's basically Cybertron's answer to the Lost Light crew - their own ragtag bunch of loveable nerds. Blurr, Slug, Tankor, Tankor, Waspinator... do we include Sky-Byte and Jazz since they went to earth? We need a Squawkbox...

I still can't bring myself to make a lost light and not- RID shelves...I can't do it. I need them all to be on shelves of they're respective years they were released. Like 84, 85, ect. I've tried but I just look and go "oh god what a mess! Though there is a cyclonus on my 86 autobot shelf... I can't part him from tailgate.

Im pretty sure that the universe Tankor was the inspiration of drawing the comic model of tankor... Given how universe tankor was released in 2008.

I'm thinking of doing a series of these where Kup just gets more and more crotchety about Titan Masters.

I believe that's a non-production color prototype.

I know people are going to attack me over that, I know people are going to call me a Geewunner, but come on! That Optimus Prime looks freaking stupid. "Plane"? ugh ... okay, if you want to call it that fine, but in Starscream colours? Come on ...

What's wrong with Prime being a triple changer?

You might not like it and thats fine but I don't get how it's stupid...

I think he means that that the jet/tanker truck and tank/fighter jet should have been released as Octane and Blitzwing first, rather than later. Call it a spoiler for the ones who are know-it-alls when it comes to Triple Changers. Speaking of spoilers:



Hey there, Blitzwing, like your new job?

We really need a broadside...

When i first saw the megatron, the grey made me think of broadside. Could still see it working if the tank cannon was removed and the surface was just a flat landing strip.
