I'd bet money those are the names for the Chaos on Velocitron and Seige on Cyberton box set TMs. Five Autobots and one Decepticon.
I am cool with this news either way then.

Ultra Magnus: ULTIMATE INTELLIGENCE BOOST
Scorponok: ULTIMATE FIREBLAST BOOST
Take note that Rodimus Prime and Thunderwing are listed as Ultimate Speed and Strength boost, respectively.
Ginrai: Chokon Power
Blunderbuss: Radar and Sonar Boost, under Decepticons for some reason
And there's probably more.

Yes it would be nice. But now with the clones being released differently, i dont know if the boxsets are still a thing. Godamit Hasbro I want answers!

Hate to say it, but this is the most likely answer. Fathom does sound like an ideal name for Tidal Wave's Titanmaster

That was my thought too. Indubadbly Metal Hawks TM.
Fathom being the only 'Con is Tidal Waves, plus the nautical themed name.
So that just leaves us to match up
Autobots Fengul, Parsec, Leinad (oh hey DANIEL), Dynamus
with
Magnus Prime, Nautica, Quickswitch and Laser Prime

I wouldn't use this as evidence of anything upcoming though as it's clearly using outdated information: Terri-Bull has the wrong name (Rot-Gut) and Infinitus has the wrong power.

Hope yet for Magnus Prime to be confirmed as Ginrai, especially with the fact of the Ultra Magnus titan master.Sabrblade wrote:There's a "Ginrai" there too.

The Hasbro Titans Return toyline has consistently portrayed the Titan Masters to be separate-identity individuals from those of the bodies they attach to. If Magnus Prime's Titan Master is Ginrai (or at least named "Ginrai"), then Magnus Prime himself is someone else other than Ginrai.Graviton wrote:Hope yet for Magnus Prime to be confirmed as Ginrai, especially with the fact of the Ultra Magnus titan master.Sabrblade wrote:There's a "Ginrai" there too.

Could be a thing like in the Masterforce cartoon where the transectors took on a life of their own making each thier own character, but I doubt there will ever be anything to clear this up.Sabrblade wrote:The Hasbro Titans Return toyline has consistently portrayed the Titan Masters to be separate-identity individuals from those of the bodies they attach to.

...I just said, Hasbro does not do it that way. Hasbro emphasizes the partnership aspect of the big guy and the little guy working together, not the "lifeless mech controlled by the head" concept that Takara does.Graviton wrote:Could be a thing like in the Masterforce cartoon where the transectors took on a life of their own making each thier own character, but I doubt there will ever be anything to clear this up.Sabrblade wrote:The Hasbro Titans Return toyline has consistently portrayed the Titan Masters to be separate-identity individuals from those of the bodies they attach to.

Besides, Magnus Prime already has a bio of his own. He's a City Commander-type character.

I suppose, I just don't want him to be the listed as Ultra Magnus on the wiki. I do know that the wiki is not final, but if no info is ever shed then, well what ever it a minor thing anyway, but to me Magnus Prime is Ginrai

Sucks hard.
You forget, there's still one more big tf con happening in China at the end of the month - if I'm not mistaken - it's where trypticons prototype was first teased and where sixshot and most of the newest tr figures were shown off, so there's still time.
That's Cybertron Con and they aren't doing one this year. (They happen irregularly, in '10, '12, '13, and '16). They'll probably just toss the reveal pics on Facebook and call it a day.

Yes, that's the funny joke.
I mean, we weren't even sure if Hasbro was going to attend SDCC for a while, then we only had a couple exclusives that aren't overly over the top, Trypticon is most definitely a Hascon thing - so why are people expecting so much from SDCC, when Hasbro will obviously want to keep things for Hascon?
(They said so on the TF panel, too.)

EDIT: Oh, and:
Fengul: Laser Prime
Fathom: Tidal Wave
Professor Go: Metalhawk
Dynamus: Quickswitch
Parsec: Nautica
Ginrai: Magnus Prime
Leinad: ?
Refractor: ?
Rot-Gut = Terri-Bull (as seen in that one book)

Let me try this again: the panel recap literally says - John Warden says - that more stuff will be revealed at Hascon, two months away from now.
Why are people ignoring Hascon, as a reveal hotspot?

A combination of jumping the gun and the general fanbase attitude.

I will happily oblige. Because this was the last chance for Hasbro to show the next wave of Titans Return and Robots in Disguise before they are released for the next quarter. By September, any 4th quarter toy will have been revealed in some way or another. Either released in the philippines or a NOTRAB post or whatever.
Of course this assumes there are plans for toys in the 4th quarter (fall). But if there are, they werent revealed this week-end (since this is all 2018 Q1).
So thats why I was expecting more than Power of the Primes reveals.

Exactly what I was going to say. We aren't forgetting Hascon, it's all about the weird timing. I'd rather they hadn't shown PotP at all and instead shown more from wave 6 if they could only do one since it'll all have been leaked or released come Hascon. Instead they leapfrog over TR and show something that will still be months off by the time Hascon happens.

Deep breaths.
Sucks to be right...
I'll give you a 1/2 right for now, but you might want to hold that sentiment until you are proven completely right. Although I'll admit, the lack of SDCC reveals, does make it seem closer to a reality, but I think this is Hasbro being a tease and saving the last few reveals for TM for their own Hascon, which will ironically take place after wave 6 hits stores in southeast Asia (if it is more than just Slugslinger).
The timing is what doesn't make sense to me. Wave 6 would hit the stores in the US for Q4 this year, which is back to school and Christmas. That would be the absolute worst time of year to have a ghost wave of all re-releases (minus Slugslinger). They would need to have PotP figures ready for shipment in order to fill in the void. And those reveals look nowhere close to ready.
In any case, is should be a fun 2 months of worrying and speculating until anyone knows for sure.

That is weird, even Slugslinger is the same way. Since Slugslinger was developed alongside Misfire, they may have changed the art style a little early towards what it will be for PotP, just after finishing Slugslinger, but before Arcee and whatever else is coming.
Posted by william-james88 on July 21st, 2017 @ 10:12am CDT
Hascon will be too late just like they were far too late at Toyfair with this line's reveals.
Assuming of course that this is real and that new toys are coming out Q4 in the generations line.

Now onto the rampant speculation. I think the leak of the card, plus the Tryppy Crunch list means that the unaccounted for titan masters are for wave 6 instead of the names for the TM's from the 2 boxed sets. I also think we are going to get some form of another 2 boxed sets for the Scorponok and Ultra Magnus heads. That leaves 7 new TM unaccounted for, with 6 autobots and 1 decepticon. However, Blunderbus and Overboard were each in the wrong faction on the list (soo Hasbro) so there is a chance that one of the new ones is also wrong.
Backwards Daniel would obviously go with Arcee. For the other 6, none of the names really stand out as matching up with any of the Autobot target masters or the decepticon voyager triplechangers, so I'm fairly stumped, and then you throw Ginrai in there, who knows what the hell that could mean.
The one that seems sort of obvious to be would be Prof Go and Go Shuta, possibly as another Chromedone redco?
Fathom is likely being related to some type of boat or marine vehicle, so I'm guessing Flattop here out of Broadside.
It is going to be hard pretending to work the rest of the day while thinking about this...
