These were also first hinted at in the app. I guess we really are seeing all those listings come out one by one now. Looking forward to the pictures of Gold Grimlock and Megatronus.

Who is repeating what? Are you maybe confused with seeing the front page news posts appear as regular forum posts in the thread?
No, that's not it. Everyone is repeating everyone else. It's a huge waste of resources which could be solved by not sharing this stuff at all.

Could you please clarify what you mean exactly? Is it about the news reporting, or something else?

I mean repeating "hurr hurr shampoo bottles" over and over again is a waste.

Next time, please don't be mysterious with what you want to say. Spill the beans straight out! :-$

You got a point there. Still, if they are the same price as a deluxe or cheaper, it would be just fine.

But the question I have is; will these hold as much shampoo? I do like a good value, you know ;-)

Further proof of an ongoing in-house contest by Hasbro who of the designers can come up with the ugliest Bumblebee.

So if the Titan Heroes are the equivalent of Action Masters, then these Titan Changers must be the equivalent of Action Master Elites.

EEEW look at their gross little hands!

It is sad when this makes one think that the Action Masters were better, sure, they didn't transform, but at least they were nice on the eye, articulated pretty well for the time even!

So what'll the new tagline be? "Titan line: Now slightly less horrible than before!"

Dude it's weird but vinyl figures are really in right now. The Titan figures do well so I can see this as Hasbro trying to take that concept but make it closer to their core concept.

OMG YESSS!!!

I'm so addicted to these ugly shampoo bottles, I just don't know what to do with myself. :MR-T:

Are you talking about the blind boxed stuff, like the Loyal Subjects, or am I just out of the loop?

As someone (possibly the only person in this thread country planet) who enjoys and happily collects the Marvel and Star Wars Titan Heroes, this pleases me to no end. The Transformers Titans always got the short end of the stick. Less paint apps, awkward proportions, and the brand itself just didn't fit the mold. But now, I actually have a reason to buy them!

Those and others. The giant 5 POA figures based on the old Super Powers line, the hollow Godzila figures, there's a ton out there now.

The lack of alt-mode pictures for the Titan Changers seems like it might not be a good sign.

Don't think there anything special to wait to see vehicle pics.

If 3 Step Bumblebee and 3 step optimus are any indication. Think they titans changers will be equally garbage.

Courtesy of Ozformers site owner Griffin, we now have in hand images of the Transformers Robots in Disguise Titan Changers Optimus and Bumblebee figures, whose first images were recently released.

Griffin picked these up, along with Super 3 step Bumblebee in Hong Kong and made a quick gallery showing the alt modes )for the first time) and how the figures look like at different angles. He also compares them to other figures to show the scale. Below is a quick comment from Grffin as well as the images he took:

The huge Super 3-step Bumblebee was at a number of Toyfairs earlier this year, while the transforming Titans were shown at the Australian Toyfair.

Now they are out in Hong Kong, here are some photos for people to know what they will be missing... as I don't think there will be many of us older collectors getting these.

The "transforming Titans" originally had me thinking of the Elite Actionmasters (a simple conversion of a non-converting line), but these are better than those... but not by much.
They don't actually have "Titan" on the packaging anywhere... but it was what they were labelled as at Toyfair... so maybe it is on the master cartons.

All three could do with more paint apps too, as there is a whole lotta yellow on plain colors on these, and not much sculpting/texture to the panels to make it look more interesting.

As a size comparison to a number of other toys that I got on my first day in HK...

Dude... That SUPER GIANT Bumblebee will make kids go crazy for sure! He's way better looking than his AOE counterpart, and it does have lights and sounds!

I have a coworker who have a young son. The wee one is a big BB fan. That toy will blow his mind!

As for the "transformable shampoo bottles", they better sell for 10$, not more.

Inb4 &
This is the first Optimus in the line where you can tell where the trailer starts and the truck ends.

Posted: **Sun May 17, 2015 12:50 pm**

At least these Titan Changers can transform unlike their petroleum wasting counterparts. >:oP

Posted: **Sun May 17, 2015 3:05 pm**

It's funny, the instructions for both say 4 steps, but Bumblebee clearly only has 2. The first is putting him on the ground and the 4th is doing NOTHING:

Also, I am surprised no one has made fun of the missing paint apps yet.

Posted: **Sun May 17, 2015 3:17 pm**

these are def not collector desirable, good for the kids though.

For the collector who has everything.

I gotta say, I was expecting way worse from those Titan Changers. They're not super-premium quality or anything, but they're decent-looking for budget figures. If they're cheap enough and someone interesting shows up in a future wave (I seem to recall hearing they'd do one of these for Steeljaw, but I may be mistaken), I'll bite.

Posted: **Sun May 17, 2015 8:04 pm**

They can put all the lipstick they want on these Titan line pigs, I still ain't buyin'

Some kids will go nutzo for them, no doubt.
