I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but every time I look at Chromedome I can't help but notice how both his headmaster (minus the face) and his knees/upper legs are identical to Blurr...

They are the same. Chromedome and Blurr share those parts, but nothing else.

Well, and the gun, but thats about it

Yep. Parts-sharing not really important parts, it works

That's been known for quite a while, in fact Highbrow and Scourge share parts and Titan Master as well.

A rather nasty realisation is that since Blurr and Chromedome have had redecos/retools done, poor Stylor has at least 6 versions of his mold:

Blurr Body
1. Hyperfire (Blurr)
2. Autobot Teslor (Brainstorm)
3. "Cana" (TT Brainstorm)

Chromedome Body
4. Autobot Stylor (Chromedome)
5. "Chrome" (TT Chromedome)
6. Autobot Throttle (Autobot Breakaway)

Speaking of that, upon further analysis of Triggerhappy, he has the same guns as Highbrow, I wonder if this means anything else is shared? I can't tell from the box picture

Same gun mould too.

I like the darker windows on the Hasbro one The red stripe adds interest too.
However I prefer the head on the Takara one and the pale arms seem more appropriate to me it breaks the line of the side of the car up less too.

I also like the wheels on the Takara one. I don't like the pale extension of the window line the colour looks a little off and overall though the Takara one looks like the win to me.

---------

The wave 2 stickers look interesting - i'll be very interested to see the other in place on the toys - if anyone sees that please pass it on.

I am I will admit a little shocked they did't include faux techspec stickers as most of them have a place for them.

I checked earlier, but the barrels are different designs. They do use the same concept of combining into a Titan Master turret.

Ah yes, I see that now, just very similar guns!

[Kurona]

I much prefer the method of two guns combining into a turret that Highbrow, Hot Rod and apparently Triggerhappy use. It makes the individual guns look much more natural than wielding a gun that has a big giant space in the middle.

[Prowl4]

Probably will buy the headmasters that were that way in G1 and definitely passing on the characters that weren't headmasters in g1. Nice to be able to cherry pick a line.

[Kurona]

I really hope Reprolabels makes an Optimus-burning-down-forests set for Voyager Optimus.

I think the cool/smart thing about this line is rather than be an entire line everyone has to collect to feel "complete", there are several subcategories people can collect individually. Meanwhile, the whole line pays tribute to an era.

My interest is in new versions of '86 movie characters and characters who were repeat characters in Season 3.

I do have some interest in some of the retools because a TON of reuses of a mold or toolings makes for easier customizing.

I've seriously considered picking up Highbrows if I ever see him to swap the legs and fists with my Scourges I'm using as Sweeps.

I hope this is the right thread for this.

I just got my TR Powermaster Optimus, and the extra two lil' windows on his chestplate are unpainted. Does anyone know if this was a running change or did I just get unlucky?

[Stuartmaximus]

I hope that we get a new Cosmos, and that he's at least a Deluxe sized character, and that he has the TM gimmick

[Kurona]

The rumour said legend. Which is unfortunate, since I'd love a Voyager.

He'll almost certainly have the TM gimmick as all TR Legends have so far though.

As far as we know, Gnaw has no Titan Master integration, and of course the Deployers (who admittedly make up about 2/3 of the Legends class this line) have only basic integration, rather than the dedicated cockpits of the other figures.

Gnaw will eat the Titanmasters

But the deployers interact with the 2 media deck leader bots, so they are still fully integrated within the line.

Asia Exclusive decals/labels (Wave 2 deluxe)
Thanks to TOY PEOPLE

(Click on the image)

[william-james88]

Fellow Seibertronian Logan79 has found some great images of the Asia exclusive stickers applied on the Wave 2 deluxes of the Titans Return line. These images were found on Chinese site, Toy People News and we have taken a handful of those images to show you what the stickers add to Chromedome, Mindwipe, Wolfwire and Highbrow.

While the stickers add colour and further detail, they don't seem to reference detail found on either the original toys or the look of these characters on the show. Wolfwire, for instance, has stickers to add blue to his wolf face, which is not a reference to anything in particular, and instead does not have stickers to add silver to the circle on the yellow portion of the upper wolf limb, which is a detail found on the original toy and missing in this new toy's deco.
The sticker sheet also has stickers for Soundwave, Alpha Trion and Astrotrain so if any fan finds images (or can take images) of those stickers applied on those toys, please let us know so we can share it with the community through a news post.

It's prob been mentioned before, but the reason for the mysterious peg hole on the @$$ of most of the TR figs is for the Takara Clear Flight Stand

just in case anyone was still wondering, or if wondering at all?

Are you talking about to the left and right of the truck windows?

Mine are painted, but I got one of the first received by BBTS...

Funny thing is, an online friend I have received Powermaster OP and had only one of the four chest windows unpainted. It seems to be a common yet weirdly specific problem.

[william-james88]

Mine came with a wheel that fell off since it was malformed and the peg was too short. Yay

I thought Takara didn't sell stands like that. They're mostly from Bandai.

There was a seller on Amazon selling the clear stands a couple of months back - they are the same stands used for Tracks but clear instead of black.

There was some earlier stands released for AOE (they have the hex holes in the butts too usually - as do some Generations toys like Arcee).

If you wanted one of the stands to see what they are like your best bet is to buy a KO of Road Rage or a MP Tracks (the legit Road Rage didn't include the stand in the box).

I do have some movable armature stands I got on ebay very cheaply but they are to small for anything bigger than a 4" figure really - I usually use them upside down to suspend Eaglemoss Starships from them.

But they also worked great for something like suspending cassettes near Soundwave or Blaster or for supporting flying figures like a 3.75" Marvel's Falcon figure say.
