Not particularly surprising; Takara loved adhering to the past and I'm not actually sure why Hasbro renamed them Titan Masters anywho.
In any case I'm adoring that retro packaging, especially with how the Headmaster is shown off in it's own little corner

They already stated that all masters themed figures starting now will be called Titan masters. That includes headmasters, target masters and possibly even power masters IF they do that. And like I said somewhere else, who cares. You'll call it whatever you want when you have it.

Only Hasbro stated that, not Takara.

Hasbro usually is the only one who actually does business promotions and will tell us stuff like that. Let's not kid ourselves, Takara has terrible advertisement for transformers. Their toy announcements are magazines and tweets. Once in a while we will find out something at a toyfair in Asia but let's be honest most stuff is found by tweets and magazine scans.
This toy is out in like a couple weeks and we're just now seeing the packaging and finding out theyre using the name "headmaster" and whos surprised? It's takara

No, they revealed the packaging a month and a half ago at tokyo toy show http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... age/35585/
They reveal their figures at shows, just like Hasbro does.

Not most of the time though. Yes sometimes well get a "reveal" but it's rare. Cheetor, inferno and weirdwolf were the only reveals there. Most of the time it's the magazines and tweets from tfyuki. That's how we found out about all their adventure line, all the combiners, almost all their headmasters.
Then again it's getting ridiculous now over here with the leaked blueprints and color schematics that are getting leake now. I still have a laugh thinking about all the people who claimed fortress Maximus was a fake. Yup, he's looking pretty good on my coffee table right now.

Yeah but there's no targetmasters or powermasters in this toyline so far despite characters who would have them - Blurr, Scourge, Triggerhappy, Powermaster Optimus Prime - being the ones that would have them, so it seems a bit pointless.
And I'm not exactly complaining, I'm just confused over the decision.

Yet. There's none of them yet. It's not off the table. If they're saying all -masters will be called Titan masters then it's entirely possible were getting other stuff too and who cares if certain target masters and PM prime are headmasters. There still plenty of other characters
We don't know what's coming after Titans return just like we didnt know what was coming after combiner wars. Honestly I don't want another gimmick. Powermasters might come it. Just as long as it's not pretenders

Sure there are. The Titan Masters' vehicles have Targetmaster-esque weapon modes that are wielded in hand by the larger Deluxe and Up figures.Kurona wrote:Yeah but there's no targetmasters

Indeed. And aren't the vehicles also reminiscent of Action Masters?

That's true, but those aren't exactly the Titan Master characters themselves, are they? They're just equipment.

To Hasbro, they're just vehicles. To TakaraTomy, they're sentient drones and as such they have names (Batra and Tankette). Think of them like Action Master partners, without the Action Master.

I had high hopes for Takara's Legends version of PM Prime, but this is even better than I had dreamed.

Damn! So many little differences here and there which all come together to just make him that little bit better looking.
Definitely will be getting him.

Fellow Seibertronians, user Professor Smooth has shared with us pictures of the upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers Legends Ginrai! This leader-sized figure is an extensive retool of the already-released Titans Return Powermaster Optimus Prime, with a look much more resembling that of the toy from 1988. This reveal shows us colour pictures of the Vehicle and Robot Mode from the front and back, a couple development pictures and a comparison with his Hasbro counterpart; but leaves out the Base Mode for now. Take a look at the pictures below!
In other Legends news, fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath has shared with us a tweeted picture from Yuki of Hardhead singing Karaoke, along with a picture of his packaging, and of the latest Legends comic (number 37), which is a prologue to the comics found with the upcoming headmasters.

I think he looks great all the way up until his feet. What the hell happened there? I'm definitely getting him though because I love the new cab and the other remolding and new guns are always a plus.

So glad I preordered this! Judging from some of the changed details, I'm fairly certain that Godbomber is coming.
Eventually.
