Wait, what's this about alternate heads? That a Takara or Hasbro thing? Cos if I can get Hardhead's mouth head seperate, then it's gonna be a Hasbro jobbie for me.

Sorry, I should have specified. I saw those scans, it's this head stuff is what I was questioning.

What additional head series?

What additional head series?

He just means the titan master class which would be made up of a bunch heads, some being variations of the heads that come with the bodies. So many, the heads you see on the takara figures might come out individually in the titan master class for hasbro.

Aaahhh, ok. Thanks for that. I knew there were a load of individual heads being sold, but didn't realise there were going to be variations of the main headmaster heads sold amongst them. Hopefully we get a mouth Hardhead in that then. And that does look like a robot mode Hardhead head at the far left of that picture.

Were not sure, its all conjecture. But it makes sense, especially since Hasbro did that with combiner wars and released the stuff Takara made different individually.

No, they released the stuff that they thought about making but that Takara got to first. Lest you forget, Quickslinger and Brake-Neck's heads were conceived by Hasbro and tooled into the molds before Takara's run.

I dont see how this is any different. You are saying that these new heads were not designed by hasbro. DO YOU KNOW THAT?! Because for a fact we know that the "takara exclusive" starscream head in unite warriors (for ghost starscream) was designed by Hasbro, just like 99% of all toys.

So no. We dont know it either one way or another. For all we know, this can be the same scenario where Hasbro made a design and Takara is carrying it out first and Hasbro will release it later. Or never, like was the case with Prime Breakdown who was designed by hasbro too.

Quite the contrary. I said that Hasbro designed the Quickslinger and Brake-Neck heads, but Takara revealed them first, although Hasbro ultimately released QS and BN before Unite Warriors Superion came out. I was countering your assertion that Hasbro released Takara's products. It is conceivable that Hasbro had a hand in Deluxe Groove, especially since he's coming out as Afterburner in Hasbro's Computron set, but I'm all but certain that Blast Off is pure Takara. Last we heard there are no plans to bring Bigroove and Shuttle Blast Off over here, which is the main point I challenge. I'm also skeptical that these Titan Master heads are variations that will see the light of day over here, but I'm willing to be proven wrong on that.

John Warden confirmed at Toy Fair that Hasbro had no involvement in UW Groove or UW Blast Off.

I know that, I was only using quickslinger and brakeneck in my examples.

And that cool, That Bot, I get it. Though I do also hope you are proven wrong, I can totally see us never getting these heads as well. I just dont think we have enough info on this titan master class to really assert the situation yet.

Indeed, this is my fear as well. I like the Titanmasters like Hardhead, and would like both styles of head. Will I have to buy both the Hasbro version and Takara? Or I suppose I will have to make a choice on faceplate or not... I hope we get an option for both heads here in the States, but as y'all said, we'll have to wait and see...

We're getting Lightspeed as far as anybody knows, unless Computron is scrapped.

That is very true. Time will tell us more about the possibility of alternate heads.

Its interesting how through leaks and official Hasbro reveals (most of which s the later), we know everything we are getting for Titans Return 2016 wave 2 except for the Titan Master Class. The rumours suggest Apeface and Brawn but even then, that's just 2.

Lightspeed is a car.

But, regardless, the box set Computron we've see art for very much seems to have all five of his core members.

The 35th and 36th installment of the Transfomers Legends comic are up. These are free online comics usually tied with a new toy coming from the Legends line. These two deal with Supermode Armada Starscream and Springer. The Armada Starscream comic is a prologue to the comic included with his toy.

As always, these should be read right to left. A ton of easter eggs are found all over these. One of them being the appearance of both animation models of Springer. As with Arcee, Springer had a different preliminary model which was abandoned for the model featured in the movie and season 3. Let us know if you spot any other fun easter eggs!

Agreed, hence why I chose that picture to be the thumbnail.

Springer gets all the ladies.

Fellow Seibertronians, interesting and exciting news has surfaced, tfscource.com has listed pre-orders for the Takara Tomy Legends figures LG-21 Hardhead, LG-22 Skullcruncher, and LG-23 Galvatron. The interesting part, is that the deluxe's appear to include a titanmaster vehicle from Hasbro's wave 1 of Titans Return. Hardhead appears to be paired with an army themed recolor of Terribull's vehicle, and Skullcruncher is paired with Crashbash's animal. Moreover, both Titanmaster's are shown in their hitherto revealed weapons modes.

And for comparison:

Well, I'll be. A two-for-one deal!

Is it still a two-for-one when they're still priced two-for-two?

I'm pretty well sold on the Japanese versions now even more.

Does Galvatron have a visor? Maybe they used a temp head for the photo? And I wonder if all of the partner vehicles will be colored to match the larger figure?
