SDCC 2017: Hasbro Breakfast Press Event, Featuring Titans Return Slugslinger and Caliburst #HasbroSDCC

Hah, what a tease Hasbro is.

For sure, yesterday theyn showed us everything that is out, and we knew was coming except Slugslinger. This morning we get...Slugslinger...well the good news is I guess they cant show us anything else that we haven't seen already unless they start going backwards...

*correction*...I guess next they could show us the Walgreens exclusive Duocon set...

Hmmm... Another remold of Triggerhappy... Meh. I'm not very impressed with this one tbh. Especially since he has 2 cockpits, yet the headmaster sits inbetween them :S
I can live with the Misfire remold, even though both have new wings and a new nose part, yet this one looks a bit bland to me...

I like Misfire, but yeah, Slugslinger is a bit bland.....maybe if he had a different TM, like Thunderwing, he'd look a bit cooler....

It's Obvious how will they redeco Broadside.....
Skywave? i mean it would be cool if he got a Tankette vehicle like Hardhead
I don't know why he's called Flattop,

Well...look at Voy Optimus

then it got a repaint(as the mold was intended for) as Octone

then as Laser Prime

& finally as Black Convoy(Nemesis Prime)


so i can easily see Broadsides mold being reused beyond what we're already getting with it

btw i don't understand Willie J's comment that it's not a repaint....but just Takara!(Broadside) coz you can clearly see the diff colours between the two


+ with TT it's a common practice when it comes to repaints

Duocon? Do you mean the Walgreens Exclusive "Clones" set of Wingspan and Cloudraker? Duocons were Fjywheels and Battletrap and a Battletrap repaint of Generations Springer was an Exclusive at one of the last Botcons (I think).

The idea when the term repaint is used is as a different character, or different theme on a character. No one typically considers the TT version of toy X to be a repaint. If you would like to, that is your prerogative.

Yeah Clone set...That's what I get for typing before 7am

Yeah. Takara and hasbro are seperate corporate entities and should be viewed as such. calling a Takara version a repaint only because one came out first is bonkers. That means the entire hasbro Cybertron line is made of repaints. I personally think its safer if we dont go down this ludicrous rabbit hole.
Stuartmaximus, I know you sometimes wonder why people ignore you or dont talk to you, and insisting on things that people categorically rule out might be one of the reasons why. I still respect your opinion but I dont have anything to say about it since I feel its just wrong with every way i see things.

People have the right to think the earth is flat and we all have the right to ignore them. its everybody's choice.

I cant fucken believe it. Hasbro wont be revealing TR wave 6 at SDCC (doenst seem like it since they skipped over it in the panel). I guess it will be like TR Wave 4 where we had to wait for them to be in stores internationally before they were "revealed" at Toy Fair.

Sucks hard.

Deep breaths.

Sucks to be right...

With the reveals today of Power of the Primes at SDCC, I thought maybe you had inside knowledge of something coming down the pipes. And even if you didn't there's still a chance we may get the true Duocons in this line. It was rumored last year that we're getting Voyager Class Horrorcons, Apeface and Snapdragon, so my fingers are still crossed for them. And this new line, Power of the Primes, seems to be crossing back into the last two lines of Titan Masters and Combiner Wars, so more G1 characters are bound to make it into this new line.

I guess we'll see more come this September at Hascon.

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.

Well that's a nice thought, but no, I don't have any insider knowledge about anything, I don't even have a FB page . The one and only time I "broke" any news was back in 1998. I was I believe the first person to post online the episode list for Season 3 of Beast Wars, and that's only because everyone had dial-up back then, and pretty much everyone influential stayed for Sunday of BC, while I went home Saturday night.

We did get a Flywheels homage from Titan Master Skytread, but who knows what the future will bring.

hmm ....seems a strange way to respect ones opinion by ignoring them....but..whatever like you said...everybody has the right to ignore & that's their choice

dunno what it is about the staff on here but when responding to me it seems that they deem it a necessity to bang that same old drum by way of reminding me of my past demeanors! now...anyone else would've let the past be & moved on from that! but NO!....not this forum

On the back of the cereal box/ poster that was revealed, there were some names for titan masters we haven't gotten yet, so I think that means we will be getting more from wave six than just slugslinger. The names were fengul, professor go, parsec, leinad, dynamus, and fathom. All of them ( except for fathom) were listed as autobots

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.

Fellow Seibertronian ebo716 rightly points out to some Transformers: Titans Return news that appeared on the Trypticon Titan Master Crunch poster image, seen at San Diego Comic Con 2017. The image reveals the names of all the Titan Masters in the line - including some we have yet to see show up: Autobots Fengul, Professor go, Parsec, Leinad (oh hey DANIEL), Dynamus, and Decepticon Fathom. Check it out below, and speculate away on Wave 6 of the toy line in the Energon Pub!

Professor Go? Shuta's dad?

I don't see Pinpointer, Peacemaker, Spoilsport, or Nightstick... :/
