It has been a long time we have heard anything regarding this year's version of the Combiner Wars boxsets like Victorion and the G2 combiners. The rumours are that we are getting two sets this year, with redecos of Titans Return molds with each set having a leader, voyager, 2-3 deluxes and a titan master. This is where Tidal Wave, Nautica, and the clones are supposed to show up. Their contents are still rumours, which will hopefully be confirmed this saturday, but their existence is now fact.

The first Titans Return gift set, the Speed Pack, has been found on a Toysrus computer. We even have the listing, price and code. The set is listed as EX-Generations SRS Pack 1 Speed. The Canadian SKU is 290858 and it is listed at 149.99 CAN, which is the same inflated over compensating exchange rate price the Combiner Wars boxsets. So this also confirms that these Titans Return sets will be the same price point as the Combiner Wars ones, at around $ 100 USD. The fact that this is listed at Pack 1 definitely hints to there being more packs, as rumoured. Do any of you have any idea as to what the SRS might mean? Are you ready for more redecos? Let us know in the comments!

It's clearly just 10 versions of Blurr, in various stages of moving fast. Sold!

So, having messed around with hot rod for most of the day, I have to say that he'd be a perfect figure if it weren't for the idiotic grey arms on his titanmaster, had they been cast in red plastic and helped define his head a bit better he'd be without flaw in my eyes (which probably says something to someone)

YES! Especially about an Autobot.
You're right though about the TM's arms. Especially because of that sculpted circle that is continued on the arms. The arms should have been red.

He reminds me of a cowboy for some reason; but yeah, the silver arms are just painfully bad to look at

I like that Hot Rod but he isnt without his issues. he totally fails at an essential aspect many Hot Rods fall victim too, obstructing his glorious spoiler.

Hot Rod has been consistently shown as having his spoiler come over his back in a glorious fashion , framing his head which is the only thing that splits it. it gives him an awesome silouette. But for some damn reason, the modern toys always give him tall dumb looking arms, which look unnatural and restrict poseability.

Look at these shots, his spoiler is never obstructed by his arms or other bits aside from his head:

Image

Image

Getting good shots of G1 is not easy so here's this well made fan art which shows the main hot rod design as I like it:

Image

It comes from the G1 toys which also had that notion that the spoiler shouldnt be obstructed:

Image

By clearly showing the spoiler, you also get a nice mix of bright colours with the yellow purposefully clashing with the red.

And yet what do we get?

This failure

Image

And these arms which compeltely hide out the spoiler

Image

The new MP wasnt bad, but it has these odd red bits coming out of his giant back back which disrupts the silouette

Image

At least this toy gives it the necessary clearance to invoke the framing device, and it looks great

Image

So yeah, a decent toy, but there is definite gripe to be had for ruining a staple design.

And people say I'm nit-picky, guess this is just a boon from not giving two sh|ts about g1 or g1 accuracy. It looks like a piece could have been used to lift it up some, but I feel it wouldn't matter as his shoulders are massive...

But, Hot Rod's cartoon model was designed by Floro Dery before it was turned into a toy design. Unlike most other G1 toys, the movie characters were designed "movie first, toy second" instead of "toy first, cartoon second".

Only because the instructions for that toy neglect to mention one additional step for transforming the spoiler to let it rest lower behind the toy's collar (much more like on the cartoon model below) instead of behind its head as seen in that pic above.

Well my long chased after Optimus arrived to day - he's a bit hollow feeling and I do prefer Blaster but he's not shabby overall.

---

Anyhow speaking of Hotrod - and his head issues I notice Apex's arms (pardon the pun) has a circle on it like Hotrod's head so perhaps the arms could be swapped ?

----

Also Re: Hot Rod if you are having issues with the legs not tabbing in - the vehicle mode I figured out what the issue is - it's his knees causing the problem they need to be full 100% folded to allow the side to tab flush if you just casually fold the knees as they are a double joint that slight misalignment is enough to stop the side sitting flush.

I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else had that issue.

I've got your solution, Hellscream. Get Titans return Chromedome (if you haven't already). Pop off the Titan Master Stylor's arms; they're jut on simple ball joints. Take Hot Rod's Titan Master Firebolt/Firedrive and do the same. Swap arms between them and reassemble. You are going to LOVE the results. The red plastic is almost a perfect match between Stylor and Hot Rod, and swapping in gray plastic on Stylor is hardly noticeable behind Chromdome's face anyway.

The red plastic is almost a perfect match between Stylor and Hot Rod, and swapping in gray plastic on Stylor is hardly noticeable behind Chromdome's face anyway.

I've tried it too, and I have few pictures so people can decide if they like the look before swapping (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND not doing the swap until you're sure you like the look, for reasons upon which I will elaborate at the bottom.)

Image
Here they are, the two of them together. I'll say right now I'm not actually a huge fan of the results - the more similar colors so help the head itself blend better, but having those same colors behind the faces actually ruins the shape I perceive their faces to be.

Image
Here's Hot Rod's head, and oddly enough, for once it actually looks better on camera. The extra red behind his face makes it look way more boxy - where before at least I could sort of see the grey bits as antennae (like Optimus') behind his head, now it just looks like that whole red bit is his face and then his unique head shape is gone.

Image
Chromedome's got more or less the same issue. I guess it might work better for someone who wants a more boxy G1-looking head instead of the pointier IDW-styled one, though, so there's that.

Image
The two arm-swapped TMs together. I know it probably won't matter too much to most, but I really don't like the way they look now that the arms have been swapped. (It's also a good showcase of the Sharpie work I did to make Firedrive look less bland, but that's beside the point.)

And that picture also makes a great segue into why you should be CERTAIN you like the arms swapped before you do it yourself. I don't know if it's just my copy, but the TMs' shoulder ball-joints were not the same size. That just resulted in a loose left arm on Stylor-with-Friedrive's-arms, nothing big, but as you may notice in the above photo, the larger ball on Firedrive means that Stylor's arm now has a huge (relatively speaking) crack in it. That's not a stress mark, that's an actual crack in the plastic, all the way through from the outside of the cup to the inside. :shock:
It seems to be holding together for now, but please bear this in mind if/before you decide to try this yourself. It may so happen that it's a one-off problem and I'm being over-dramatic, but I just really don't want lots of people to end up with broken Stylors/Firedrives if the problem ends up being more widespread.

Oh I dunno. I love my Titans Hot Rod. I've lowered the shoulders a bit on mine (and obviously repainted the lot cos I wanted a more Marvel-esque look, I know that's not to everyones taste but it's my figure). And well... you can always just have him posed at an angle to see the spoiler better?

Yeah I heard the rumors including the Strength set.

The speed pack supposedly comes with Nautica from Blurr/Brainstorm, Quickswitch from Sixshot, Fastlane, Star Convoy and a Titanmaster called Thunderclap.

Bankruptcy is fun.

So that's where the alternate head for Voyager Optimus Prime has gone too. And Thunderclap sounds like a retool of the Optimus Prime Titan Master for Wave 5 :-?

The trouble with Quickswitch is that they'll prob also give him a submarine mode since he has a gun mode

Btw i just found this

You do realize that the "submarine" mode is just a gun mode flipped upside down right? That was their way of getting a gun mode into the figure without calling it a gun.

As far as box sets go, I feel like we will get 4 in total. We already have Speed and Strength, which correspond to 2 of the stats on the collector's cards. In the end, I wouldn't be surprised if we get Intelligence and Firepower sets.

Should we assume Tidal Wave is a repaint/remold of Broadside? Is it possible that it could be something else, like a Leader or a Titan? It'll probably be the Broadside Voyager mold, but I'd love to see them scale up the mold into a Leader or turn the Metroplex mold into Tidal Wave. (Couldn't that work, since it already has a "carrier mode"?)

It's broadside. Also, it cant be a leader because there are only 1 leader per set and the two leaders are blue optimus and quickswitch.

Also, a word from Death:

Thank you. Not quite finished yet as I'm gonna apply the Reprolabel flame stickers i bought a month and half ago (cos the chest orange and yellow on the figure look too similar and flame could use outlining and my hands are steady enough to paint it on) and I wanna clean up some paint on the Firebolt (the Targetmaster gun, not the Titan Master head). But yeah I'm much happier with Hot Rod after some tweaks. :)

Still disappointed that Scorponok's a Titan. Would much prefer Leader class similar height to Powermaster Prime (or Ginrai version) but I guess cartoon takes prioty over the mostly superior comic characterization most of the time when it comes to designing new G1 updates.

Easy pass on Arcee most likely too. Keeping my generations figure.

Just gotta love that the first time the best female Transformer gets a toy, it's in an expensive-as-heck boxset with characters no-one cares about. :roll:
I'll be over here crying about Nautica for the rest of the year and hoping Lotty, Anode and Lug get better treatment. ... and making sure this post is the last I say on the matter.
Re: Titans Return Box Set Speed Pack Confirmed (1859720)
Posted by RAR on February 15th, 2017 @ 10:13am CST
That Arcee is just a head ( and minivehicle) rumour has been going around a while now.

When we get a look at the other females we may get an idea if a repaint is likely as a deluxe some time.

Pretty silly to miss her out as she is an official Headmasters after all so she sort of does need a body.

That 4chan statement sounds a bit meh I wanted more beasts - but Insecticons are not a huge importance to me (unless they do the female ladybug too)

I'd rather have Combiner Wars compatible Seacons and the odd leftover headmaster like Nightbeat, Squeezeplay, Fangry, & Horribull. That would suit me a lot more than random Targetmasters.

But I can see how Turbomasters might be something they can shoehorn into that idea - if they made the skyscorchers or Predator planes like that i'd be a lot more interested.

But serious finish the existing set Hasbro - it drives me nuts when you go off half cocked.

If you want a much smaller & more comic accurate one then go 3p & get Lord Scorpion(yeah....i know he's waaay smaller than a Leader).

Easy pass on Arcee most likely too. Keeping my generations figure.



If you want a much smaller & more comic accurate one then go 3p & get Lord Scorpion(yeah....i know he's waaay smaller than a Leader).


Cool. Hadn't seen that one. He looks great in all modes (even 'base' mode) but damn he's tiny! Voyager size comparable with Titans Megatron, Galvatron and such would be passable but this one's barely any bigger than a Deluxe from the pics I've just seen of him stood with Blurr and Mindwipe. Why even...

Machine Boy is knocking off a number of the smaller 3rd party toys only making them bigger they may eventually get around to doing a modest size Scorpy - unless someone beats them to it an makes an Ultra class one like happened with Warbotron's Grimlock.

I don't hold any strong feelings about Nautica - she'd be no more to me than say Navi' I'd just be glad to have her as she's another fembot is all.

I'm much more interested in the "Named Characters" so long as they are decent as The clones never came out in the UK so I don't have them.

I wonder what they plan to do about the tiny size what is currently Titanmaster if there is not any more Titanmasters - I guess they will just carry on doing them only they'd be guns instead of heads - I think it would make more sense to just make the small figures have a vehicle mode if possible - but I expect it isn't if they are 'that' small.

Micromasters are 3 times the mass of a Titanmaster and even the little Targetmaster ones from generations were quite a bit bigger.

I'm curious though.

Also boxed sets always end up cheap if they are widely distributed sets.

I'd personally rather had a red-blue Leo Prime over Tidal wave - I have nothing against Tidal Wave - I just have no huge need for one (unless someone can figure out a way to combine it with the CW Green Megatron).

ALSO Quickswitch as a Sixshot repaint is a terrible idea unless they remould it extensively (which they likely wont) I'd have actually really liked a Greatshot though.

Dunno? Iron Factory seem to do all their figures small

Anywhoo...i'd better bring this back around to Titans Return before the staff get ticked off that we've gone off topic for a mo

As for the Scorponok being the next Titan Class figure after Trypticon....it's entirely possible ;)

Iron Factory's toy are scaled for the Legends/Legion class Cyberverse scale.

If you're willing to pay high end third party prices, you might as well just go for the BotCon 2015 Scorponok. ;)
