Fellow Seibertronian ScottyP has forwarded us the latest issue of Hasbro's Pulse newsletter, featuring some of the new Transformers full reveals – just in time for Toy Fair 2016! The images are fairly small, though consistent with what we have seen so far in the leaks, and show packaging art for four of the deluxe class figures: Blurr, Scourge, Skullcruncher and Hardhead. Also included is an interview with the artist behind the images, our friend Ken Christiansen – read more below.

The Transformers Generations franchise offers us a sneak peek at the beginning of their “TITANS RETURN” product with these images of upcoming packaging artwork. There’s only so much room on a box or a blister card, so the scintillating character images developed by our artists sometimes gets maneuvered and cropped from the full glory of the original piece. The Hasbro Pulse has secured the full character artwork that will adorn the packaging for this July’s “TITANS RETURN” Deluxe Generations Wave 1.

The original artwork for their packaging was created by Ken Christiansen, a longtime contributor to the Transformers brand. Ken’s dynamic art style is well-known and appreciated by Transformers fans, and he took some time to talk to us about his work on the “TITANS RETURN” images:
HASBRO PULSE: You've been providing phenomenal artwork for Transformers toys over the years - is this the first time you've worked on a Power Master toy? How different is it to draw a Transformer with a removable head?
KEN CHRISTIANSEN: Thanks very much. I was really thinking about it, and up until working on Titans Retun, it's possible I hadn't drawn a Power Master since I was a little kid, and the original toys were on shelves, back in the 1980s! Drawing a removable head isn't much of a stretch when I'm working on Transformers - it's just another part that is in a different place during a transformation. Though the real magic of the removable head is that it's going to be yet another level of transformation, into a new character!
HASBRO PULSE: Your personal art style is a fantastic match for the aspirational nature of a franchise rooted in metal parts and straight edges - what artists have influenced your style and development?
KEN CHRISTIANSEN: My personal art influences as I was growing up were Drew Struzan, Frank Frazetta, and more to the point of the question, famed industrial and futurist designer Syd Mead. But the direct influence on my Transformers work to this day, is the original box back art on the first line of Transformers, the incredible battle scene that gave life and energy to the very idea of the Transformers. And now that I get to opportunity to contribute to the packaging art, I hope I can inspire the next generation of kids.
HASBRO PULSE: The first wave of Titans Return figures features four fan favorite characters in Blurr, Skullcruncher, Hardhead and Scourge. Do you have a favorite among these "first four?"
KEN CHISTIANSEN: I'm excited about all of them, but for me Skullcruncher is a real standout. I think the design team did an amazing job, and I can't wait to get my hands on him!
These four Transformers will have their toy versions unveiled at New York Toy Fair, and are expected to be available in stores this August.

Weibo user ZMultiplier is running out of time with all the leaks he has to give before Toy Fair so he is now bringing out the big guns with big untouched images of both Titans Return Triple Changer Voyagers Astrotrain and Alpha Trion.

Astrotrain is a straight redeco of Sentinel Prime while Alpha Trion seems to be a completely new mold which supposedly turns into both a space ship and a lion referencing two past Botcon concepts/toys which were redecos of Beast Machines Snarl and Cybertron Vector Prime. These are both part of the second wave of Titans Return and we will surely be seeing their toys revealed at Toy Fair this week-end!

Wow, he's really been busy with these "leaks" and yup, that's definitely a lion.

Astrotrain looks lighter than what I was expecting.

Astrotrain looks pretty great. Nice to see they picked the superior toy colours. Shame about the lack of a chest wing though.

I'll get Sentinel. His face looks much cooler.
But Alpha Trion is definitely a must-have for me now. :BOWDOWN:

Alpha trion looks absolutely amazing, I'm anxious to see his alt modes. Astrotrain looks as expected and brainstorm is a pleasant surprise. I like him quite a bit more than I thought I would. Now let's see some actual pictures!

Trypticon is about the same or similar size to the mega huge Godzilla toy! + as we kind of suspected...he can be expanded with Blaster!

Cyclonus weirdly comes with Kups gun?

Fort Max has lights and sounds!(which isn't surprising, seeing as Generations Metroplex had the same) but one interesting note! he has a transfomation sound when disconnecting the Headmaster unit(& i s'pose reconnecting too)

Fort Max looks great...in robot mode. The city mode is a little disappointing- I was hoping for the titanic tower of chunk we got with the G1 figure. That really did look like a veritable bastion of beefiness. This looks a little too much like a robot doing yoga.

Chromedome looks good, I will say, especially for a retool of Dead End. Though once again he suffers a complete lack of both chrome and domes.

Alpha Trion I may very well jump on, as the only other options are a hugely expensive Botcon exclusive or a third party figure that was only made in very small numbers. Plus, he looks pretty cool.

Astrotrain as mentioned before looks superb. Sentinel Prime I can live without, but I've got dat train on the brain man. The shuttle mode is pretty cool and the train mode reminds me of a goddamn battleship. On RAILS.

Scourge, eh. I need to see more pics of him.

Blurr...Honestly I'll probably just get Animated Blurr. Never cared much for the G1 design.

Brainstorm seems pointless. I'll try and track down the Generations Voyager.

Fort Max looks awesome in robot mode but like Delta I think the City Mode is a little underwhelming.

Legends Wheelie looks great.

I am a little bit disappointed by Mindwipe (well his beast-mode at any rate).

Fellow Seibertronians, courtesy of fellow user Cyberpath, we have been alerted to the reveal of Fortress Maximus that posted on the transformersofficial instagram account. While it is cleverly comprised of 12 separate images, Cyberpath also pointed us towards a collage that unites the entire image of Fort Max, which has been mirrored below. Check it out, and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Why has this particular Fort Max got white hands and blue lower thighs while the box-art and the official transformers instagram pic have blue hands and grey lower thighs?

I prefer the white handed version, hoping that's what we actually get.

if Fort's hands are the same ones as Plex! then yeeeaaah they're ok.....even if white! but still not on a par in terms of articulation with the likes of TF Energon Unicron's hands! those were much better.

Hasbro has released official images (3-D renders) of the new Titans Return toys revealed today at Toy Fair. While Fortress Maximus was already seen in the investors presentation, as well as on Instagram, we now have a slew of images showcasing all his modes and heads: Cerebros and Emissary.

Fortress Maximus is indeed a retool of Metroplex and it shows most in vehicle mold since it is not the city most were hoping, but rather a very flat area with little elevation. Also, the legs and groin area turns out to be the reverse of that same area of Metroplex (where the back is now the front). He is not shown with a sword, meaning that the sword edition will be limited.

We also have the Legends class figures, Laserbeak using the Buzzsaw mold, Rumble using the Rewind mold, and Wheelie who is a totally new mold.

Lastly for now, since we do not have the voyagers yet, we have the deluxes who are:

Blurr with Hyperfire
Scourge and Fracas
Chromedome comes with Stylor
Mindwipe and Vorath, Vorath hangs upside down inside of Mindwipe

That Chromedome mold looks a lot like the Dead End mold at the arms section yet everything else looks very different. Let us know if it looks like a totally new mold to you or a heavy retool instead. The entire gallery can be found here.

If they are just unpainted prototype hands then that is a bummer, the white/grey hands help break up all that blue.

that head looks so cool

rsz_fortress-maximus-head.jpg

but i wonder how tall Cerebros will be? hmmm :-?

as tall as a Deluxe? or bigger? or maybe a wee bit smaller.....like a Cyberverse?

his battlestation/spaceship mode looks ok! but i think they've got the legs too close together! i've got Metroplex so i know you can separate the legs a little.

If there's one thing I don't think I'm fond of about Fort Max, it's Cerebros; I'm not sure if I'm okay with the base and space ship mode being dependent on Cerebros forming the tower. Besides that, everything revealed is glorious, albeit bittersweet. Zmultiplier ruined the feeling of surprise for me.

Well, it's nicely reminiscent of his original purpose, and removes the need to have huge chunks of tower hanging off of his sides.

yeah i noticed that, dunno why he couldn't've formed that little structure he normally forms with the G1 figure? + it also does away with being able to place Spike/Emissary in the tower while in Spaceship/battlestation mode! instead he'll probably be sat on that gun emplacement next to the tower.

as for not having towers hanging off the sides of him in robot mode! well it also does away with those big hip cannons that the original had! which i think was part of what made Fort Max.
