Images of Titans Return Sixshot Showing Flying Wolf Mode and Connection to Other Bases

never going to use six or any of those others as a base.

Love that Cyberformed city you've created there Will!

Very cool.. as a kid I loved the baseformers and when the the micro masters came out I had a ball building the cities.. these days I have less time and patience but I think when they release trypticon I'll have an autobot vs decepticon base off...

Tho I must admit that the interconnecting Ramps do not work as well as I'd have hoped. The original micro master bases had better connections... at times it feels like if they can't better the original g1 designs they shouldn't bother...

Do you feel that way about TR fort max as well?

You mean like how a couple companies totally didn't screw up the onslaught molds' knee's across several iterations

Stuff like this can totally happen and not get fixed

Looking at more of my TMs it seems there is no rule about which side of the leg the mold marks can be on. Just another weird nuance with TM assembly I guess. Maybe at some point it was decided the details looked better on the top of the larger head? Just seems strange that both Hasbro and Takara Tomy would get it wrong on the same figures.

Emerje

Compared to stock photos, they're reversed. Figures can be misassembled from the first iteration on, and be kept as standard for later releases.

Well I can confirm that either Hasbro Stylor or Takara Stylor(I know its Chromedome) has backwards upper legs as they are both turned a diff way. I have both Chromedomes and just checked.

Double post, sorry so Prowl gets a punch in the face. Springer REALLY wants the new Kup figure.

Unless I'm mistaken, only Hasbro had that error and it was on two of the nine total uses of the mold between both companies. Typically only one company or the other makes errors like this, not both. When both do the same thing it becomes more intentional.

Except it's not the company that makes the error: it's the factories, which are shared between TakaraTomy and Hasbro.

Just curious, any suggestions on who to pair the wave 1 & 2 Titan Masters with? I only have the wave 1-3 Deluxes to choose from, FYI. So far I've only gotten Nightbeat with Blurr and Apeface with Mindwipe.

But somebody has to make an assembly plan that specifically says which side is the front, otherwise it would be a random problem rather than a consistent one.

I've found that color- and theme-wise, Brawn goes well with Hardhead in particular. Clobber can go well with either Chromedome or Twinferno; Loudmouth doesn't go that well with Highbrow in vehicle mode but his head looks really good on him and colors mix well; pretty much anyone goes well with Skullsmasher but Crashbash is probably the best; Terri-bull blends fairly well with Scourge's colors (and makes for a pretty good generically-different Sweep, if you've got more than one Scourge!), or similarly makes quite a good partner for Triggerhappy; and Skytread is harder to place but I tend to put him with Weirdwolf, mostly because they're the two left over.

Once/if you have the Wave 3 TMs, I'd recommend putting Ptero with either Hot Rod or Highbrow (switching Loudmouth to Hot Rod in turn); Sawback with ...? (definitely best with A3 but he's not an option); Fangry with, maybe Skullsmasher?; and definitely Overboard with Getaway (they're different factions, yeah, but they just work so well together!).

Apeface on mindwipe is amazing!

Does that work with the weapon modes, too? (Can't check myself until I get home)

I know, right? The combined jet mode is really fun, too!

Weapon modes are a lot harder to really define as to what works and what doesn't, since they tend to skew toward either the "generic weapon that'd work with anyone" side, or the "that's just a T-rex with a cannon for a butt" side - neither of which tend to work better with specific partners over others. (The only outliers I've found to this are Ptero/Hot Rod (thanks to Animated, energy-bow-type weapons tend to be tied to Hot Rod's character now) and Sawback/A3 (sword-and-shield combo, of course) - but both of those pairs feature a figure you don't have yet, so that's not much help.)

In general though, I've found that while the weapons don't match up so well visually due to the larger area making the color differences more obvious, it doesn't bother me too much since I actually like my weapons to not be the same color as the base figure if possible. Plus if you swap the heads as well, then the 'combined' weapon modes feature a splash of the larger figures' colors, so they tend to always look like they belong that way.

How wonderous...any one know when sixshot will be shipped by tfsource?

clobber and blurr are the bomb

Hopefully soon! I'm waiting on them too. Got a bunch of things from there and SS is holding it up.

I'm personally liking Clobber on Wolfwire.



But then, there's probably few Clobber doesn't work with...

Sawback seems good with Sentinel Prime. But Repugnus will be even better since SP is basically the same color layout as Repugnus' robot mode.

Ptero works well on Twinferno. Very close color matches. I think it works extra well since Ptero/Swoop's movie counterpart is Strafe who is a two headed dragon. Some part of me is tempted to pick up a second Twinferno for Clobber and more for any more Dinobots that get released. It's a pretty good Dinobot body.

Fangry is great on Mindwipe. Very close to his G1 robot mode. I'm thinking of starting a side collection of Bludgeon's cronies on Klo from Regen One/G2 for my G2 shelf. (Octopunch, Stranglehold, Fangry, Weirdwolf, Skullsmasher, Krok, and Quake, I think, were the main ones?) There hasn't been a Bludgeon that really fit in enough with CHUG for my tastes but the new RiD version may fit the bill despite not being comic accurate at all, with the scan decal removed.

heh
i've got Loudmouth
on
Brainstorm

very cool

Overboard on Mindwipe looks surprisingly good. (Heck, I bet any head would look good on Mindwipe, his transector is that good looking)
But I bet Crashbash or Cancer would look even better!

I was thinking Fangry with Mindwipe! At the moment, I have Skytread on him tho - not bad. Definitely dig Brawn on Hardhead, Terri-Bull on Scourge, Nightbeat on Blur and Loudmouth on Cerebros!

I also like Lione/Sawback on Hot Rod!

Do you feel that way about TR fort max as well?

Ah sorry wasn't clear. Although, yes Fortress max original figure base modes are better than the TR version, I appreciated nearly all the updates.. and the TR line has been my favourite so far.

by design i was referring specifically to the way the ramps interconnect between the bases - i have a hard time attaching them properly compared to the G1 micro master ramp designs

I bet Infinitus wouldn't look good on Mindwipe. Hehe.


I'm getting Sawback this weekend. Looking forward to seeing how he works on Sentinel.

I've found that pretty much everybody looks good on Skullcruncher. Fangry looks awesome on Mindwipe.

Has anyone heard/seen of Legends Brawn showing up anywhere online yet? Brawn is one of my most wanted for years and this new one looks awesome. Also its great having Hasbro, Takara and TFCC Chromedome's. I can do this;

Your gonna love him, one of the best TMs so far.

All in all, i like the TM class. They always feel worthwhile, since you can use them in so many ways. Either as their own fun unit, or as guns and the heads can go on others. its a well thought out class.

I was looking at the wave 3 deluxes and now that I got them, here is the order I would place them:

1. Triggerhappy: no question, though I do hope to get the right guns one way.
2. Hot Rod: he does everything right, there just arent as many surprises.
3. Twinferno: I have a beef with this toy due to how his beast hips dont peg anywhere and the tail not pegging together well, plus his beast arms might fly off as you transform him, and he also has that loose head, and would REALLY need some wrist articulation, since you lose major poseability potential with those dragon heads.

For wave 2, the deluxes in order were:

1. Wolfwire
2. Chromedome
3. Highbrow
4. Mindwipe

Although 1,2 and 3 are all as good pretty much.

Wave 1

1. Blurr
2. Scourge
3. Hardhead
4. Skullcruncher

For Voyagers, so far (I dont own optimus ) it would be:

1. Astrotrain
2. Megatron
3. Galvatron
4. Sentinel Prime

And leaders:

1. Blaster/Soundwave (I think I like Soundwave more even )
2. Sixshot
3. PMOP

And I just realized what it was that I found off on Sixshot, its those folding pieces along his chest. They act as the tail fins in the spaceship mode but in the robot mode they just add some chest detail. Or they would, but in the case of TR, there is no added detail since they are just black pieces with no stickers or paint. Since the toy has this big G1 vibe, for better or worse, that sticker design detail is really missing from his chest pieces.

He wont show up for a while since he is in the next wave that isnt due until february/march.

autobot roadburn is on ebay now.

Whatever you saw, they werent official stickers that come with the toy. The toy itself doesnt come with extra stickers. And he is in bad need of some of them for his chest panels.

Nah. Let's add his Targetmaster!

Picked up Twinferno and Triggerhappy today. Twinferno is ok. Beast hips really need some kind of lock. But he's ok. Interesting alt mode and good for £12. Would have been very dissapointed if I paid the full 20 though.

Triggerhappy.... I see why everyone praises him. He is a very nice jet mode. Solid, looks good, no robot kibble. And alt mode is proportionate, fully articulated, and a unique silhouette. I really like this Triggerhappy. Would have been happy paying full price, but for 12 quid, extremely satisfied. Triggerhappy may be my favourite TR figure I have so far.

The alt mode hips do lock in place. There's tabs on either side of the spine that you lock into. It's tough, but it will connect.

Double post. Sorry

Aaahhhh. Thanks. I saw those tabs but couldn't get them to line up even remotely close. Bit of fiddling and forcing, his hips are locked. Improves him in my opinion, but he still feels only ok for some reason.

Woupd wrist articulation have helped?

Speaking for myself, yes, it would have helped a lot, nobody likes inward elbows. However, I do like that they gave us weapon mounting options so you can leave the hands free and stick the guns to his wings or slot them onto his shoulders (not sure if that's a documented feature, but it works great!).

So, uh. My Wolfwire broke today.



See that exposed pin? A hinge is supposed to be there, but it's somehow disintegrated out of nowhere. The same's happened to the hinge on the opposite side but the remnants of said hinge is stubbornly refusing to come off.
I'm not entirely sure how this happened; I wasn't rough with the figure or anything (seriously, I wasn't) and it was just fine transforming a few hours ago.





The yellow hard plastic part is now almost completely detached from the soft red plastic part (though there's still other points of connection so it's not completely broken off). Thankfully it is just the cockpit area, and due to the remaining points of connection it still works - just not as cleanly as before. It's still extremely frustrating though; not just because I paid an overcharged price for him, but also because I named him TR figure of the year and joint figure of the year in general (though admittedly with or without this breakage I would have changed that to Voyager Megatron had I gotten him soon enough).

I don't know if this is just my figure being the runt of the litter, but if this is a widespread problem I'd check your Wolfwires and Takara Weirdwolves I guess. Really frustrating.

I've seen others complain about it happening so it's a known issue. Not sure exactly how widespread it is.
