Here, here.
Odd that you only call those two out, considering Hardhead (whose rifle looks like a weird hybrid of his G1 rifles and Chromedome's G1 rifles) and Weirdwolf. I did point out that Brainstorm technically does have the G1 guns, they're just fused to the nosecone/shield. I actually took advantage of that myself:
For what it's worth I think Chromedome's larger gun took inspiration from his G1 rifles in the placement of the diagonals.
Giving them G1-accurate guns at this point would have been a bit much in the way of extra expense. If it's any consolation, last I looked the 3P ones aren't exactly hard to find. Additionally, in Brainstorm's case, if you're up for a minor mod and can get or make some 5mm pegs it's pretty easy to do what I did and turn the molded-in guns into separate ones that work just like the G1 toy's.
I personally really like that the Titans Return molds all came with an accessory (or had combining accessories) that has a Titan Master seat. I like the extra interactivity that provides, especially when you get basebots involved. It has me scheming on building such weapons for Apeface and Snapdragon (a missile pod for the former, a shield/drone based on the Lockheed D21 for the latter).
I still really hope that this line will reissue Misfire, Slugslinger, Windblade, the Jumpstarters... I think at the very least it should reissue Arcee and the Monsterbots (especially Grotusque).
This line's existence gives me hopes for a Combiner Wars reissue line (because as I have said a million times, screw the eBay prices for the CW limbs).
