Perceptor
Bumblebee
Topspin
Overlord
Seaspray
Slugslinger
They also stated that it seemed like Perceptor and Topsin came with the titan master drones rather than targetmasters, while Bumblebee and Seaspray came with Headmasters (aka Titan Masters).
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Putting aside Titan Masters, recolours and obvious-pretools-not-meant-for-the-character like Sentinel and Sky Shadow; that just leaves Twin Twist, Windblade, Octone and Blitzwing - at least, of the TR stuff revealed so far.

i still firmly believe Bumblebee will come with the US Cerebros Titanmaster to be Spike. It would make perfect sense to do so.
I wonder if Overlord will come with a couple Powermasters along with the Headmaster. wouldnt be too hard to switch out the Titanmaster Faceplates for Engine-Plates.

They'll do Black Shadow. Retool or not he's unique enough and he's one of Japan's babies.

I think he might. He's got the cavities in his chest for two Titan masters. I'm sure Takara will take advantage of that

I find the Broadside comparison quite fitting for jet mode with the Hasbro one having the mis-transformed shoulders. Yep, seems about right for Hasbro stock photos.

Good to have confirmation that Takara is doing these guys. Since I haven't found Topspin or Perceptor yet I'll just wait and see what Takara will do. I'm glad they're coming with Titan master drones instead of targetmasters though. While I love the targetmasters the inclusion of them takes away the figures original weapons. So Perceptor should still have his sniper and Topspin should still have his handguns.

He is indeed based on Haywire, but Firebolt and Recoil are not based on their G1 counterparts. Rather, they're seemingly based on Fracas and Peacemaker. Go check it!
That was probably done since Firedrive and Flintlock already resemble Firebolt and Recoil.

Seems so often to me that Takara's paint jobs are usually enough for me to wait for & pass on the Hasbro versions.

Peacemaker? Man, I hope that doesn't hint at Pointblank not happening... or maybe this is proof of him happening, with his Titan Master resembling Peacemaker and hence Takara decided to give him Firebolt instead?
Puts a hole in my 'pointblank is a retool of hot rod' theory...

You can never be sure with Takara. Liokaiser was a G1 original of theirs & it looks like they passed on doing a version of him.

I still think pointblank will happen but it does raise the question as to why Takara didn't just give Kup and Rodimus their proper targetmasters in the first place

I apparently can't read. Perhaps they'll include Firebolt with pointblank like Kurona said but then that still leaves recoil.

That is some very unfortunate autocorrect.
Regardless, they're not talking about Lio Convoy - they're talking about Liokaiser, the Decepticon combiner from Victory which Hasbro made a Platinum boxset out of but Takara didn't bother with.

Some future figures like Perceptor will probably get Targetmasters as well, so using up all the designs should be easier than you think. Checklist time:
Pinpointer: None
Peacemaker: LG46 Targetmaster Chear / Kup
Spoilsport: None
Firebolt: None
Haywire: LG51 Targetmaster Doublecross / Twinferno
Recoil: None
Aimless: LG52 Targetmaster Misfire
Blowpipe: LG49 Targetmaster Triggerhappy
Caliburst: LG?? Targetmaster Slugslinger
Fracas: LG45 Targetmaster Hot Rodimus
Nightstick: None

Aha, that solves it! They'll include Recoil with Pointblank instead, still leaving the possibility of Pointblank being retooled from Hot Rod!
... rest in peace Firebolt.
Also now I know Firebolt doesn't actually come with Hot Rod, I have no reason to want Legends Hot Rod! Yaaaaaaay!
