First Look at Transformers Titans Return Titan Master Loudmouth Transformation

Can't wait! now all we need is the actual body to go with the head

"Das Hovertrain", made my day. (i'm easily amused)

Seems like this line has been nicely planned out, I tip my hat to the design team. I'm also looking forward to seeing more pics of different titan masters on the big bodies, really getting some head switching going on.

Was planning on picking the Titan Masters guys up anyway, but now I'm wondering if I could use their vehicles as substitute Targetmasters...

I was too, but now I want the Titanmasters even more! Only because I love the massive amount of playability they give to the Titans Return toyline as a whole.

I know right? You don't even need one of the bases; just get a Deluxe and a Titan Master and already you've expanded playability. I really like this.

I still don't understand these size class figures. So is Loud Mouth the name of the head mode or the little robot mode? Like Hyperfire is the name of the figure who forms Blurr's headmode.

I think it might be that either A) the Titan Master class figures don't have a distinction between the identity of the robot and head modes (like, both the robot and head are Loudmouth, unlike the partnered Titan Masters like Hyperfire turning into Blurr's head), or B) the body's identity overrules any of the head identities (like, if you were to put Loudmouth on Blurr's body, the result would still be Blurr with a new head, even if it looks different from the head formed by Hyperfire).

Wouldn't it be the other way around? Like it's only blurr if the head that looks like blurr is on the body? Otherwise if you put loudmouth's head on blurrs body, it would be loudmouth, right? God, this is why we need solid fiction, at least on the boxes

If going by the Japanese portrayal of Headmasters, then yes (which is what Option A would be). Option B would be like how The Rebirth had the bodies as the main robot mode identities, but that story never got to show what would happen if the characters ever swapped their heads around.

I don't know anything about the japanese stuff, I was just going by the logic that the brain would be in the head, so, swap the heads and swap personalities - or does the spark in the body contain the personality?

In "The Rebirth", Brainstorm instructed his fellow Autobot pre-Headmasters to download their memories and personalities into the auxiliary memory circuits in their chests, so as to maintain them whenever their heads would be detached from their bodies.

In the Japanese fiction, the bodies were never alive, built as lifeless constructs for the smaller -bodied Autobots to transform into heads that would attach to and control.

I can handle it, if there's at least an explanation to the convoluted stuff, it's when there isn't any, that I get irritated

Just so everyone is clear, Hasbro has stated in interviews that it is not using the Japanese transector fiction. The little headmaster is its own character, but the the robot mode for the full robot always includes its head. Meaning that there is no such thing as a transector. Its just Blurr with the headmaster giving him a stat boost. And when he removes the head, he is in vehicle mode. There is no in between for Hasbro.

Also, we have had tons of English reviews for Fort Max, but theyw ere relegated to the review section of the site, so any further review can be posted there instead. I eprsonally really liked this one: titans-return-fortress-maximus-review-by-kathleen-s-klutter-t107070.php

So, despite their attempt at play-style, the fiction directly contradicts that - dumb move hasbro

Not at all. Each head can give a headmaster better stats, they just always need to have a head in robot mode.
