Do we still not know what Scrounge's tiny shuttle friend in the Computron set is called?

It's still just Payload. No one new.

Aww. They couldn't come up with a new name? Even something like Laypoad or Loadpay?

It's just the same character. I don't think the toy itself even has a name in the packaging or instructions. The identity of it still being Payload was given at BotCon this year.

But, hey, it's one more new modern day toy for an obscure G1 Micromaster. Not many other Micromasters can brag about having more than one new modern day toy release. Lucky ol' Blast Master.

are we going to get a twincast redeco of blaster?

We don't know yet. Maybe if they get really money hungry, but I think Blaster getting both a retool and a redeco out of both that retool and himself is a bit harder to justify to fans than, say, Nemesis Prime and the seekers...

Blaster's Titan Master is already named "Twin Cast", so that might be all we get.

After all, we never got a Twincast version of FOC Blaster since a blue Blaster is a already too similar to Soundwave.

Unless they make a Twincast figure with the headmaster called Blaster But really I think with Blaster and Soundwave literally being the same mould this time, a blue Blaster is not likely.

While we have seen a video review for the upcoming Transformers Titans Return deluxe Hardhead, it was in Chinese - and thanks again to The Chosen Prime, we now have an English version too! Check it out embedded below for your viewing convenience, and let us know your thoughts in the Energon Pub.

In other Titans Return news, we have another European (not for long, sigh) sighting of Deluxes and Voyagers from the latest Transformers toyline - namely, Blurr, Scourge, Hardhead, Skullsmasher and Galvatron - in Grays, Essex, UK. The store is Smyths in Lakeside, and the prices can be seen in the photo proof below, by Twitter user duck_star!

Remember, if you across any toys, help out fellow collectors by updating the Sightings database and flag it up in the forums here. Happy hunting.

TakaraTomy's Twin Cast is even decoed in his signature blue, so they don't seem to have plans either.

[SeventhSage]

Can't wait to get em here in US!

[william-james88]

Thats a rather reasonable price for Galvatron in the UK

[o.supreme]

Bet get them before they Brexit the store...

[Kurona]

Oh thank the gods they're only £1 over their Combiner Wars counterparts.

Then again I have no idea how Brexit will effect things in that department...

[Prowl4]

No sentinel prime?

[DedicatedGhostArt]

I hope I can get Blurr from BBTS in a week or so without it going out of stock. I want to get him as soon as possible.

[Evil Eye]

SEVENTEEN QUID

Still. Good that we're getting them. I might get Galvatron, Skullcruncher and Hardhead, but given our country's habits of skipping waves (probably exacerbated severely after the Brexit made Britain great again) I won't get my hopes up for any others.

[william-james88]

I dont get what Brexit has to do with UK distribution, isnt it handled by hasbro UK which is its own division of the company? The free trade was between the EU and UK, they dont seel TFs to oneanother last time I checked. So things should remain status quo.

Yeah I'm not entirely sure myself, just something I keep hearing. Something to do with exchange rates.

Of course, you know what being out of the EU means? NO MORE MULTILINGUAL PACKAGING. FULL-LENGTH TEXT BIOS.

Look in the back behind the Hulkbuster Iron Man and behind the My Little Pony packaging.



This person is a toy distributor for Walgreens.

Though, notice that Arcana's name has been changed to something ending in "-slor".

[Hellscream9999]

Huh, wonder what wave he'll be stuck in, maybe a retailer exclusive?

[peaces]

walgreens in usa? does this mean tr has hit usa retail?

[Sabrblade]

Huh, wonder what wave he'll be stuck in, maybe a retailer exclusive?

Heh, imagine if this was a Walgreens exclusive.

Wow, that takes me back a good 15 years to when they used to sell tf's, he'd be super over-priced if that was the case though, they have horrid mark-ups

Oh, they still sell TFs. It's just usually only lower tier stuff like 1-Step Changers.
