I'm still surprised they're keeping the Titan lines alive...

why is habro keeping this subline? Its clogging shelves now and thats not going to change at all when RiD comes out. Im sure hasbro thinks they're saving money by making nontransforming figures but in the long run their just hurting themselves.

IIRC, it's because the Titan Heroes/Guardians/etc. are actually a success over in parts of the world like China and such. So as long as there's some markets for these to profit off of, Hasbro's gonna keep making them.

If that's the case I don't really see it here. Hopefully with the recent price cuts they'll start moving a bit.

So where is the opening where the shampoo comes out ?

Why produce them for markets they don't sell in, then? Why not just make them available in the places where they're popular? Or are people buying them stateside too?

I'm just sad it has sullied the good name of Titan (class Metroplex).

I don't think you guys get the full picture. This "titan" style figure is not a Transformers thing, it's a Hasbro category of toy that exists beyond Transformers.

Here are some examples of other Titan figures from their Marvel line:

I'm just saying it's confusing. Kinda like calling this series Robots in Disguise when there was that OTHER one called Robots in Disguise a few years ago... the one with Skybyte.

That was back in 2001, I guess they think people have forgotten. Plus the old RiD is never going to be seen again 'cause either Disney owns it or they don't know who it belongs to now, so I guess they consider that as good a reason as any to reuse the name. But yeah, I wish they'd called the new one "More Than Meets The Eye" instead.

So I get that that Prime's new mode includes his trailer as part of the robot mode, now making him larger. For god's sake WHY does Hasbro still hang his huge feet off the back of his vehicle mode??? You really couldn't hide them inside the TRAILER???

[RhA]

Promising stuff.

[AutobotyMaximus]

So it seems like the resin Grimlock prototype we saw before is the 'three-step changer' version, huh?
What's next, Hasbro? Four-step and five-step transformers?

Maybe there's a bigger figure coming, suiting your wishes a bit better.

I can live with the simple stuff with those regulr deluxes coming our way. Those look nice.

[Leatherback]

It's only me or the plastic on these figures feels cheap? And again steeljaw as a Decepticon

[KREOFAN85]

no cyberverse, but atleast legions has returned. and concidering what they have, yeah. i'm happy the small transformers is back

i cannot wait to add these babies to by cyberverse collection. even though they seem to be back from square one, whut? no weapons?? ugh. no commanders. UGH. no playsets? DOUBLE UGH! oh well, i guess i should be greatful that these small tfs are back. and not a bad line up. hope to get that sharkticon.

its back to transformers for me in 2015

I do find the Three Step changer Grimlock transformation kinda cool. The T-Rex head splitting at the jaw to become different legs.

I agree, out of all of these, that's the one I would like most, even if it is a simpler transformation. What worries me though is that there are no signs of voyagers so far (unless the 3 step ones is what replaces that class), or of any transformer requiring more than 10 steps to transform. That being the case, everything we see here so far is very bulky (Strongarm for instance).

[No One]

At least I can SEE car parts / alt mode parts in robot modes, and KNOW they turn into cars, etc.

[Sodan-1]

Four different classes of figure and all of them seem to have simplicity in mind.

I don't mind Hasbro aiming for simplified designs in order to appeal more to kids, but I wouldn't mind at least one class of more complex figures. Hopefully we'll get one or two of these characters in the Generations line, as the designs are pretty cool. Especially like having a fembot that hasn't got the usual slender body type.

[Evil Eye]

"Deluxe" Strongarm is pretty cool. Not sure on the rest.

[griftimus prime]

warriors. come out to plaaaaaaay.

i guess those are the deluxe? anyway they look pretty good. as i thought. not a great show but some decent toys.

[KnightAero]

I like the possibility here that it might all be maxed at "Deluxe" here.. Fall of Cybertron was majority deluxe figures and was in my opinion one of the best lines to date!

Not sure about this line yet, the TV show looks promising, but with Combiner wars and some of the other Generations still to release... Not to mention any Master Piece figures they decide, my wallet is eaten...

[Doubledealer93]

nope.

[Gallifreyan Autobot]

i am really tempted to use deluxe prime as either star convoy or galaxy convoy

[Lockdownhunter]

Why does the legion Optimus look a gazillion times better than this Optimus????????? By the Allspark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
