Has the steam of new info slowed down now? Is it safe for me to come out? *climbs out of her burrow*
*ahem* OK, let's see what we have here:
An Ultra Magnus Titan Master from Stylor... with Fangry/Brisko's head it seems. I didn't know Hasbro was suddenly into mixing and matching unrelated toolings. Either that, or it's an unused pretooled head, making him more like Fracas and Xort, or an artist goofup. The theory of him being a release of a box set Titan Master is plausible, except unlike Rodimus Prime and Thunderwing he has no retooled chest from what I can tell.
Another Blurr retool? She just needs the wheels
I wouldn't worry too much about the shoulders, like Laser Prime's cab it's an artifact from the original figure that may not show in the final toy.
Joy! Names for the box set Titan Masters too?! Bah, and I had profiles and names made up for them. They were good too!
I will largely agree with the theory that Ultra Magnus and Arcee may be from originally planned sets, but plans changed early enough in the process (I think somewhere between final production of the toys and the printing of the boxes) for them to be "salvaged" and shuffled about. However, I wonder what fate will befall the Leaders and Voyagers. Standalone exclusive releases via the original retailers?
