This isn't the last of these articles though, there will be a follow up with Takara's exclusive God Bomber added in since he too has a base mode that can connect.
Enjoy!

Have you put together a top 5 base modes list? And how about a top 5 fan mode base mode list?
Just some thoughts.

william-james88 wrote:Sorry if I seem so hung up on this, but remember those comments with people complaining about Titans Return shelfwarming? I know it makes fans sad to see the same toys all the time they go to a store, but does that mean that Titans Return is indeed not popular? I am asking because I cam back from an almost fully stocked TRU today. It had lots of movie stuff and older Titans Return stuff as well. Only Wolfwire and Roadburn/Bee/Brawn were left from the more recent TR stock.
But you know what wasnt there? Or at any TRU in Montreal (one of North America's biggest cities) ? Robots in Disguse Deluxes. I asked to see if what I was seeing in this store was the same elsewhere and after searchng through their digital inventory it was confirmed that they were sold out everywhere. That means everyone, including the countless Strongarm, Bee, Prime and Grimlock rereleases. All gone. And we know that those were ordered more than the TR deluxes (which sell at the same price point).
...
This to me proves that Tians Return in general is indeed niche and that kids are the primary market for toys (well for toys sold in toy stores). We collectors arent that big an audience. The fact that TR toys "shelfwarm" means that there isnt enough of us that care to buy more niche characters not supported by accompanying media.
Just wanted to state an observation, that display really stuck me is all.
I think the key point you mention is accompanying media. Kids want what they see on TV. I know this because my 6 year old cousin loves Rescue Bots and wanted them and I helped his father track down the gift set of the original 4 Rescue Bots. Now he's started watching G1 and is lucky to have his father's G1 Power Master Optimus Prime to play with which is easy enough for him to transform. I'm sure in the next year or two when they come to town to visit he'll want to see my neo G1 (CHUG) collection because that's what he's watching with his father now.
I wish Hasbro made a real effort to make current media targeted at kids for the Generations line, especially since they have done such an amazing job with combiners and titan masters and soon the Prime line. These deserved current media to help sell the toys. At the very least they deserved proper webisodes on par with RWBY and Red vs. Blue. I'm talking weekly 10 minute YouTube videos that tell a story over 15 webisodes. Combiner Wars was lacking and very late. We'll see what Titans Returns brings but that too is way late so there goes any hope of using media to sell toys. I just don't understand how one of the companies that created the ultimate 20 minute toy comercial has so utterly failed at advertising its toys in the modern media age.

It should have been a Fire guts Ginrai repaint. Re-releasing nearly the same deco was a total fail. Everybody who wanted a Ginrai already bought one or preordered the set combined with godbomber. Especially the people in the US who were forced to buy online from the same site that sells the takara version. Other than a few cheap people, who protested Takara Ginrais price, nobody needs Magnus Prime. Countless Magnus Primes will probably show up on e-bay, and the rest will undergo full toy accurate conversions courtesy of Perfect Effect.
Can the cabs and trailers for CW Ultra Magnus and TR Magnus Prime be swapped and still have functional robot modes?
You mean attaching the CW Ultra Magnus cab onto the Prime trailer?
It should be possible yes. But why?
You want to give Magnus Prime's trailer a white cab?
Disregarding Godbomber - I'm more interested in the Magnus Prime/God Ginrai (heck even Powermaster Optimus Prime) cab with the Ultra Magnus trailer going back to me wanting Magnus Prime to be more Ultra Magnus than Optimus Prime.
Some random thoughts - but somethings I would do different with the Prime Wars Trilogy: Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus should have been Titans Return Ultra Magnus with Minimus Ambus as a Titan Master/Headmaster. This Titans Return Ultra Magnus should then be re-tooled to a Power of the Primes Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex maybe as a Prime Master.
The only thing is the inside of the cabs are different. Ultra Magnus inside is more like a cockpit. The hinge that connects UMs head connection is different than the head master connection. The outer chassis is the same so if you left it in vehicle mode then its a go. Also if you wanted Magnus Prime to have UM's head then it is also a go. I had to check all three of mine since I have the PC-16 connected to God Ginrai I have a loose truck cab to inspect easily lol. But yes it can be done with ease...and you should take pics too lol.
Technically the Ginrai / PMOP cab also is a cockpit albeit a smaller one to hold a Titan Master which is smaller than Minimus Ambus which sits inside Magnus's cab. The hinge that hold the PMOP / Super Ginrai helmet doubles as a seat for the titan master in Truck mode.
The cabs are attached to the trailer exactly the same. Same screw connection. And should technically be about the same size, so should fit in the chest of one another's trailer armor / body.
So you would end up with an Ultra Magnus body with an optimus prime head, and a PMOP body with a Magnus head.

I see. (You should add him anyways just for the sake of city expansion)

At the very least, the instruction sheet does bear the subtitle-less "Generations" logo.william-james88 wrote:Deadput wrote:Hey Will you might be forgetting someone in that base collection ya got there eh?![]()

Ginrai has a white codpiece with red paint plus the bottom of the chest piece is red instead of silver.
Ginrai has white spots on the chest instead of silver. His windows are also a lighter blue.
Ginrai has no red paint on the side.
Magnus prime has a much bigger Autobot symbol.
Ginrai has white symbols instead of silver.
Ginrai has just slightly darker red paint on the fists.
Ginrai is significantly different in the head department.
Ginrai has gray guns instead of black.
Hasbro superior, Takara inferior.

I would have to disagree, in that I feel that pretty much all of those changes seem mostly superficial, with the exception of the larger Autobot symbols on the trailer/legs looking more garish and gaudy compared to Super Ginrai's smaller ones that look more subtle and less in-your-face about themselves.kurthy wrote:Hasbro superior, Takara inferior.

Nah, Hasbro uses inferior paints period.
I think both are the same but Takara is screen accurate to how Ginrai looked on Masterforce.
I think the paint choices are rather dull but a good substitute for those who do not have the Takara version. If I had my choice I would still pick Takara for the paint apps. Hasbro did do a good job for the price point tho...

A agree. Ginrai still looks better to me.

Wait, so Magnus Prime is supposed to have blue yes?
I guess mine didn't get painted, they're silver.

Nah you just got the nap time sleeping Prime edition!
But seriously that sucks though.

Personally I like the look of Magnus Prime a little better, but I'm not all that attached to Ginrai's specific look anyway so I'm not bothered by the 'inaccuracies' on the Hb one. I particularly appreciate that extra little red detail that MP has on the back of the trailer: it seems tie the whole thing together just a little better, and stops it from looking quite so much like a red trailer-front smashed onto an otherwise gray trailer as the LG version does.Overcracker wrote:A agree.

Of course the most notable selling point for me (aside from the fact that Magnus Prime is cheaper and I've already paid for him anyway
