Titans Return Asia-exclusive Sticker Sheet for Wave 2 Deluxes, Voyagers and Leaders revealed

A few things I wanted to mention and I lose track of where things were said since these toys are in 2 seperate threads.

Firstly, I remember saying that the stickers for TR would be easy to find online. I was RIGHT They are available for 20$ free shipping and it covers all wave 1 figures: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transformers-Ti ... SwhMFXkyA3

But I dont need wave 1, wave 2 might be better, I like how they look on chromedome. Curious most about those circular ones for Mindwipe.

Anyways, another thing I was discussing was how Hasbro is hitting the TR line out of the park and offering us a different option from Takara rather than an inferior option. Like Emerge, I agree that hasbro's TR Blaster is the definitive version of that figure which was clearly designed to homage the original giant toy rather than be a stand in for a show accurate Blaster (like for what, the MP line?). Anyways, I was looking at chromedome pics and if Takara hadnt decided to lump the titan master vehicles with the deluxes, I would not have been able to tell you which toy came from which company. They both have as premium a look, it's just different (which to me is the best scenario since you never feel you have an inferior product).

How. I've not been able to keep up for a while but I notice rumours of a new Cosmos down the line. Is that all so far? I'm wondering if there might be a chance of another Scrounge besides the one in that box of KOs . Ta!

There's a lot more rumours than just Cosmos lol, but nothing on Scrounge. But now you bring it up, the possibility of a single-packed Scrounge retool of a new Cosmos does interest me...

I'd probably be able to tell which Chromey is which because Hasbro's has less of a cohesive color-scheme. Takara's is very cartoon-accurate (with the brown paint on the legs) and Hasbro's is just a tiny bit of silver on the chins. Takara's also has less colors, whereas Hasbro's has multiple shades of brown plastic (common for Hasbro). Takara seems to be better at matching plastic colors. Not saying either is bad, but just saying that I would be able to tell which is which because each side has their own company cliches.

Edit: Also, Takara's has gold-painted rims on black wheels, whereas Hasbro's has unpainted translucent black wheels. The translucent black on Hasbro's is the same plastic as the windshield. That's a huge giveaway.

Well, if you hadn't seen the original fiction either. Personally I've never seen Headmasters beyond a few clips.

Same. What I meant was judging the two pics and all you know about Takara is that their paint scheme is usually better, it would be hard to tell which one has better paint.

I love how Hasbro has that silver on his abdomen and the nice red on his car sides. I am assuming Hasbro went for MTMTE colours?

Basically.



Sorry for the spoilers (though it IS issue 14), best pic I could find especially as I'm rushing to go out

Ha! Yeah, I should have said 'is there any more to it' or something, fuzzy-headed. Single-packed Scrounge must happen! I'll get a team on it straight away.

It interests everybody

I have not seen hardly any of the Headmasters cartoon besides an english dub of one episode. Even before then though, the Chromedome I knew and loved had the brown legs and tan shoes.

I know you said it doesn't matter but I thought I'd point out that the brown on Chromedome is way closer on the actual figure than in that product shot. Going off memory I don't think it's different at all.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but every time I look at Chromedome I can't help but notice how both his headmaster (minus the face) and his knees/upper legs are identical to Blurr...

They are the same. Chromedome and Blurr share those parts, but nothing else.

Yep. Parts-sharing not really important parts, it works

That's been known for quite a while, in fact Highbrow and Scourge share parts and Titan Master as well.

A rather nasty realisation is that since Blurr and Chromedome have had redecos/retools done, poor Stylor has at least 6 versions of his mold:

Blurr Body
1. Hyperfire (Blurr)
2. Autobot Teslor (Brainstorm)
3. "Cana" (TT Brainstorm)

Chromedome Body
4. Autobot Stylor (Chromedome)
5. "Chrome" (TT Chromedome)
6. Autobot Throttle (Autobot Breakaway)

Speaking of that, upon further analysis of Triggerhappy, he has the same guns as Highbrow, I wonder if this means anything else is shared? I can't tell from the box picture

Same gun mould too.

I like the darker windows on the Hasbro one The red stripe adds interest too.
However I prefer the head on the Takara one and the pale arms seem more appropriate to me it breaks the line of the side of the car up less too.

I also like the wheels on the Takara one. I don't like the pale extension of the window line the colour looks a little off and overall though the Takara one looks like the win to me.

---------

The wave 2 stickers look interesting - i'll be very interested to see the other in place on the toys - if anyone sees that please pass it on.

I am I will admit a little shocked they did't include faux techspec stickers as most of them have a place for them.

I checked earlier, but the barrels are different designs. They do use the same concept of combining into a Titan Master turret.

Ah yes, I see that now, just very similar guns!
