NYCC 2016 Transformers: Titans Return Video Roundup - Sixshot, Brawn, Perceptor, More

Looks like Broadside is just an A3 heavy retool + where's his jet mode?


Perceptor....umm...ok...but...where's his tank alt mode?

Overlord...his base mode just looks like a fan mode

loving Kickback

How can you say Broadside comes with the Airelbots, when there's NO ALPHA BRAVO!!??

Thank you.

Yeah, neither did I. I guess we wont be getting thunderwing afterall then.

I wouldnt give up too soon - this is hasbro who will milk retools. Given we got three leader seekers out of combiner jetfire, I would say for sure that hasbro will not waste the opportunity to remold this figure a third time into Thunderwing.

This was discussed at length back when the first image of the figure was leaked a while back. Looking at it now it seems like the bulk of the shared parts are in the legs and not even the entirety of it. Broadside has none of the lion forming parts and Alpha Trion has none of the jet parts. Even the back half of Alpha Trion's space craft mode don't seem to match up with Broadside's carrier mode. I think they shared some joints, though.

more woe for my wallet for sure lol. Broadside has always been a must have for me whatever they released - he was one of my fave love / hate toys as a kid cos he had so much potential and was so lame at the same time. I recently received alpha trion (i just got him cos he was part of the wave) and I must admit i really do enjoy him more than I ever thought. The broadside aerialbots are a real nice touch, and I do think he's a voyager triple changer (they might be holding back some stuff), but you can definitely see his wings in carrier mode and robot mode, tail fins too.

sky shadow.. gonna skip and wait for the overlord figure. never had a connection with the former...

brawn - i am glad i started collecting legends after metroplex came out, what i like more is how they're using this class figure for smaller characters like bumblebee, wheelie and brawn and the insecticons where it makes sense within the whole line up (tho i do buy a couple of shrunk down characters like thunder cracker and hot rod just cause ).

if six shot is half as fun as he looks... he's shaping up to be figure of the year for me. I had quick switch as a kid and never managed to get six shot.

Really love how any toy such as six shot and shockwave that I was really really tempted to get a 3p version got a good hastak rendition... makes me avoid them even more.

Preceptor i'm a bit disappointed with as I prefer his generations' robot mode proportions, so he might be displayed in microscope mode...

I'm just now noticing that Perceptor does indeed have his tank treads on the insides of his legs as well as a wheel on his butt that isn't used in microscope mode so his vehicle mode may actually be intact.

Emerje

Hm. Can't much of this stuff appeals to me. I'll likely get Hot Rod (but waiting for Takara's version)

Sixshot manages to have six modes yet look incredibly boring in every single one.

Broadside looks suprisingly good. The lil aerialbot planes are a nice touch but do make it even more obvious how badly out of scale Broadside's entire existence is.

If Sky Shadow gets turned into Thunderwing at some point like how they shared the Deluxe Generations mold I may get that but it would have to be a very extensive retool that looks does justice to ol' Wingy to make me interested.

Um... the figure on display is Black Shadow. He's going to be retooled into Overlord if that's what you're talking about though. We haven't actually seen Overlord yet.

That's gonna be reality mein freund! 2017 is gonna put me to the poor house that's for sure.

I'm so hyped for the Takara version of Overlord! chooooooookon demon misSIles!

Haven't been this excited since Legends Jetfire!

Ok just making sure! I'm super hyped for him too.

Stuartmaximus wrote:Looks like Broadside is just an A3 heavy retool + where's his jet mode?

really hope someone releases an upgrade weapons set... he has a sword, an axe and 2 missiles in his g1 toy mode

I am calling it right now. Shuffled will be retooled into sludge from the dinobots

I just noticed, the original Broadside had 86 (the year it was released) on the carrier deck while the new one has 36, what do you suppose that indicates?

Emerje

Was really happy to see Legends Brawn, not only will he complete my original 18, but he opens the door for voyager Apeface

I seriously hope you can store the Headmaster on Perceptor in a way other than just lying him on the microscope tray. That'd be lazy as hell otherwise.

its cute

I think Broadside just shares parts with Alpha Trion in the same way Blurr and Chromedome share parts. It doesn't look like a retool to me.

And my word Perceptor keeps looking amazing, I love him so much~~~
Much like Hot Rod though I'll need to get him an IDW-accurate head from shapeways/a third party in the future, but that's why these dudes being Headmasters is such an advantage.
Not that I won't be happy without

Listening to the video from the display it sounded like (at 7:05) someone (maybe John Warden) had pointed out to whoever else is talking on there that Broadside was a heavy retool of Alpha Trion. Though to me it seems more like extreme parts sharing since it looks like only some of the joints and some of the leg parts are all that's held over.

I just noticed that inside the door on Sky Shadow's chest is a long c-clamp so that the jet can snap onto the top of the tank.

Emerje

Yeah i hope your right...Emerje....about Perceptor retaining his tank alt mode...& thanks I just noticed those molded tank treads

Btw......where's Megatron in all this? didn't notice any pics of him on display in this latest stuff(only his box art in the vid was there).

Oh btw noticed the kibble for Broadside's jet mode in the vid, looks cool, dunno why his jet mode wasn't on display though? btw i still dunno how they'll get Tidal Wave outa this

Btw Fangry should really go with Mindwipe(or you could put him with him once you get him)

dunno who that TM was that looked like a cross between Swoop & Scattershot

What it reminds me of most is Canon Bumblebee


Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Cannon Bumblebee Gallery

We called it a retool back in the day even though it really was a new toy which shared the lower half with the older one. This is kinda like that but even less so. I really wonder if any part of Braodside has actually been retooled from Alpha Trion or if its just a mix of mostly new parts with copied parts of Alpha Trion. In any case, I think he looks great in both the modes we have seen. The carrier mode looks like a carrier with no half measures, thats very surprising. I dont like the autobot symbol on his chest though, it will look off in jet mode, covering the cockpit. We'll see.

Firstly, Megatron could be found in his box, so we got a bit more than his box art:



And in any case, we saw loads of him before so I dont know what they could have added in this event.

Now, i have a question for you guys, people are asking about Perceptor's tank mode and that confuses me because he never officially had one. His third mode wasnt a tank and didnt even make use of the wheel he had on his back.




The tank mode was only refereced in his microchange toy and was removed for his introduction into the transformers line.



So why are we expecting it?

Quick question, given the amount of posts on this topic I might have missed it but will Broadside have his jet form? Not seeing it in the pics so just curious

jgilkinson wrote:Quick question, given the amount of posts on this topic I might have missed it but will Broadside have his jet form? Not seeing it in the pics so just curious

Yes.
1. All Voyagers are Triple Changers
2. His robot mode appears to have tiny wings and a cockpit that don't have any real use in carrier mode.

he will, but it wasnt on display

BECAUSE OF TITAN MASTER INTERACTION! + isn't he Leader Class? i thought all TR Leader Class figs so far have a base/battlestation modes?(apart from Sixshot)

or

If he isn't Leader Class....then it would give more interaction than just the TM becoming the head & laying down under the microscope.

Perceptor is deluxe class. I have no clue where the idea of him being a leaer comes from, those pics show him as big as the other deluxes.

In other official images news from Hasbro's reveals at New York Comic Con 2016, we go into the Transformers Titans Return line (yet sometimes appearing as Titan Wars, for some reason - this may be a mistake) and the new Titan Masters, Legends, Deluxes, Voyagers and Leader class figures: from Repugnus and Shuffler, to Brawn, to Twinferno and Perceptor, to Triggerhappy and Getaway, plus Broadside and Blackshadow. Check them all out in their renders below, and compare to the floor pics here and here!

Williamjames88, he actually has had an official tank mode.


Edit: Well this figure does have a tank mode then. Cool. Also and we thought Prime's jet mode was bad Broadside's is . That's why it wasn't on display.

cant wait for hot rod,perceptor and brawn. probily wont get the outhers as i dont know them

Well...there you go WJ! Perceptor has a gun/canon alt mode, granted it's not a tank

btw loving the look of Broadsides jet mode

& i'm actually not hating on Overlords base mode as much, in those new pics

DR0hNO wrote:cant wait for hot rod,perceptor and brawn. probily wont get the outhers as i dont know them

Very interesting you say this. It seems like the general consensus from everyone else on this thread is that they're buying everything in this line. Like you, I didn't know many of the characters, and had to google them. But yea, definitely can't wait for hot rod, perceptor, and brawn.

But I've also been recently watching the Japanese G1 cartoons (finished Headmasters and Masterforce, in the middle of Victory), so I'll also be picking up Sixshot and Overlord. I have no idea who Broadside is, but have to admit he looks pretty cool...so maybe.... Probably passing on everything else.

I'm curious how well this line will sell. While we're the minority on this forum, I'm guessing more people than not outside of this forum don't really know who these characters are, which may make them pass.

nycPrime wrote:I have no idea who Broadside is, but have to admit he looks pretty cool...so maybe....

Broadside was the third Autobot Triple Changer from 1986, alongside Springer and Sandstorm. He was barely in season 3 of the G1 cartoon, appearing in only four episodes (and having his character model used for an illusory Decepticon in another episode).

Freakin' want Triggerhappy. And Twinferno's Titan Master has a kitty face with an eyepatch. I find that to be all kinds of awesome!

Broadside is glorious. At last, we get the 6th Triple Changer.

They all look great. Every time I say "That's it. I'm done collecting" they go and pull something like this.

Big Grim wrote:And Twinferno's Titan Master has a kitty face with an eyepatch. I find that to be all kinds of awesome!

He's based on White Leo.

I like the way Twinferno's titan master looks the leader of the good Battlebeast from the Headmaster cartoon.

Thanks! Is he a more important character in the comics or anywhere else, given he was a "minor" character in the G1 toon? Just trying to wrap my head around why Hasbro is giving us this.

The biggest reason seems to be that people simply want to complete their Autobot Triple Changer collection.

To be frank, he's not exactly an enticing character since his bio tells us that he's both terrified of heights and gets seasick easily, despite his turning into both an aircraft and a seacraft.

That's frickin' awesome!

I've been waiting for the renders to comment and I'm glad I did because they totally sold me on Black Shadow. The static pose they had him in on display made him look really chunky. Broadside looks great, the tiny aerial bots are a really cool touch but I'm not a fan of the really dark grey they used on him so I guess I'll wait and see what Takara does. Shuffler and Repugnus are my favorites of the bunch, they're so damn adorable. Still waiting on Takara for Sixshot. I like the look of him but something just seems off.

I'm really sick of them splitting up the waves in these reveals though. To me it doesn't feel like we're really getting anything. I mean the only new things that we saw were two titan masters, brawn, broadside and black shadow. Everything else we saw at the last reveal from the back of the other figures packaging.

black shadow has two vehicles. What???????

his base mode is much better

Triggerhappy is looking good. I dig the alt-mode, and the robot mode looks like a much better put together Highbrow.

Black Shadow looks too...Puffy, especially compared to the Generations one I have. So Im happy to stick with that one and wait for Overlord.

The more I see of Sixshot, the less I like him. His proportions seem so wonky and he looks too much like 80s toy vs a toy homaging a toy from the 80s.

SureShot18 wrote:Williamjames88, he actually has had an official tank mode.:

Would you mind showing me his official tank mode, because I think you are referring to his mobile laboratory mode, which is what the image you placed also shows. His actual tank mode was only part of the microchange line and looks like the pic below, not the one in the official image:



This is a mobile laboratory, not a tank mode.





Unless people mean mobiel laboratory when they mention "tank mode". But then, what do you call his actual tank mode?

EDIT: Sorry sureshot, I realize you included a pic in your post but I cant see it for some reason, it appears broken.

I love him.


Anyone else getting a little worried that for Sky Shadow there's only a render of one Titan Master, and in the interaction renders it only shows one Titan Master?

those look cool

Bumblebee21 wrote:black shadow has two vehicles. What???????

He's based on Overlord - a jet and a tank that combine into one robot, much like the Duocons.

that is sooo epic

Brawn still looks good.

Broadside's jet mode is just pfffttthahahaahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. Assaulter for me.

Perceptor I'll probably be transforming into mobile lab/laser cannon mode the most. The lack of a decent Headmaster cockpit in microscope mode kinda kills it. Still looks good though and I like that he seems to have an actual working scope on his shoulder.

Doublecross looks decent. The arm setup isn't great but the Headmaster looks cool.

Black Shadow (and by extension Overlord) has ankle tilts! Yay!

Getaway is boring but the engine detail on the Headmaster is a nice touch.

Triggerhappy looks cool, I'm digging the jet mode especially.
