One thing that bothers me about TR vs the original headmasters is that the mini figures don't have flaps that hide the face in robot mode... in fact I recall being a bit miffed about that wh n I got squeezeplay as a kid too...

Yeah it's a bit annoying but understandable given the small size and the way they're making so many previously non-headmaster characters into titan masters. We already complain a bit about boxy shapes added to certain characters heads.

After the reveal of Transformers Titans Return Roadburn (definitely not the Throttlebot Chase) the other day, we now have a selection of in-hand images courtesy of fellow robot fan SunSon Son on Facebook - check them out mirrored below, and check out the figure's intended name..!

Bring on the Throttlebots But not just all redoes of Bumblebee!

[WillT1980]

Seems Autobot Chase was a copyright issue. This has happened before. Does anyone recall other Transformers where the package and instructions had different names?

PS- Why no G2 smilies? I was born in 80, but I do like the G2 symbols.

eh ill pass
be is a much better use of this mold

[Kurona]

Somehow Roadburn makes this mold look better.
I don't know how; the proportions and shapes are all obviously the same, but the colours just somehow tricks my eyes into making those more appealing than on Bee.

Picked up Megatron. I really like him. But is it true his little tank barrel nub can be removed and pegged somewhere else? Thought I heard something about that but don't want to break the thing off trying.

By it's appearance as a seperate piece I assumed it could be tilted up to let the cannon point diagonally up in tank form but mine snapped off when I tried it as it's actually held on but a peg (which is what snapped). It still fits back on snugly in place though. If you find confirmation of what your post is about then let us know. I'm not bothered about it myself but any interesting lil alternate configurations no matter how small are often useful to folks.

The Rumours of later waves seem to show other Throttlebots presence.

Shame they didn't think it would be nice to really run with that and make a deluxe of Voyager Wideload - just as its been a while since we had a nice Autobot Construction vehicle.(scoop perhaps being one of the last ones).

Brawn strongly resembles Rollbar too I guess... Especially in vehicle mode.

"Decipticon Terrsolpix revealed! Redeco, no remolding, no mass retail release, only in Ross stores."


Don't worry, I feel ya

RotF Scout Dead End: the insert for the initial European packaging had "Detour" instead.

At least it shows Hasbro tried to use "Autobot Chase", but something threw a wrench into that. Also a reminder: the full Rescue Bot trademark is "Chase the Police-Bot", and is no indication of the availability of the single "Chase".

Bring on the Throttlebots But not just all redoes of Bumblebee!

Sorry, but... Roadburn uses a head based on Freeway and Searchlight, the two other rumored Throttlebots. Technically that's accurate: in G1 Season 4 Chase and Searchlight had their toy head designs switched.

It's actually an adapted form of Roadburner. Coincidence?

As long as there's a little bit of variation in the tooling. But it looks like a neat little figure,and the Throttlebots have been an itch for me since Goldfire, so I'll probably still get 'em all anyway.

I think they might also have one for "Chase the Rescue Dinobot", but I'd imagine that helps even less.

And Hasbro continues to be lazy with the stock renders: Roadburn is in exactly the same pose as Bumblebee, only mirrored. At least they changed the head this time around.

It's the same mold why would Hasbro go out of their way to give a redeco a new pose all they have to do is change the colors and head it saves them time.

She means that they didn't even bother to dignify Roadburn with a stock photo of his own figure, instead having simply photoshopped Bumblebee's stock photo.

Hey at least they included the new head, unlike rumble and ravage

Hubcap and Cliffjumper are rumored to be coming as well so there's a chance of further variations, perhaps one retaining the Roadburn head?

Here's the most recent rumor list for waves 4, 5, and 6 from before NYCC which so far has been accurate but seems to be missing a few pieces.

Titan Masters (missing two more):
Grotesque
Ranger
Hosehead
Arcee
Battletrap
Repungus (revealed)
Shuffler (revealed)
Toraizer
Optimus Prime
Ramhorn

Legends (missing Brawn):
Cliffjumper
Huffer
Seaspray
Cosmos
Hubcap
Chase Roadburn (revealed)
Freeway
Searchlight

Deluxe (missing two more):
Quake
Krok
Topspin (revealed)
Kup (revealed)
Perceptor (revealed)
Crosshairs
Slugslinger
Misfire
Needlenose
Nightbeat

Voyager:
Broadside (revealed)
Blitzwing
Octane
Apeface
Snapdragon

Leader:
Overlord
Sky Shadow (revealed)
Deathsaurus

Still a lot left to reveal.

Thing that worries me about Nightbeat is that due to being late-line, he'll probably be a redeco of one of the two existing car molds in the line - neither of which really fit him well at all.

[Qwan]

Probably, yes, but not necessarily. Even in the notorious Combiner Wars line, the last two waves introduced the Brawl and Sky Lynx new molds; Scattershot, Swindle/Hound, and Wheeljack extensive retools; and Onslaught and Trailbreaker more-than-just-a-new-head retools - and that's just in Deluxe and Voyager classes!

(And yeah, I realize my usage of 'retool' isn't technically correct - I used it in this circumstance simply to indicate "mold is different to some extent from previous uses". It bugs even me to use a word incorrectly, but I figured it was easier than coming up with a new, broader term.)
