I don't think the IDW Chromedome would translate well as a toy.
They kinda did use an IDW Chromedome though. He's based on the way he appeared in the shadowplay arc.

I haven't seen anyone comment on it, so I'll pop the question. Does anyone think it looks like Fort Max in vehicle mode just lays down on his back and...

Just like the G1 toy...
[Edit]
I don't think so. Look at the upper torso detail in this pic. Looks like he is on his back.

The only figures I can honestly see myself passing on here are soundwave and blaster. Maybe sentinel, he doesn't really fit into any of the categories for my shelves, I can't really justify picking him up.
- Chromedome: looks great, altmode is perfect
- Hardhead: Best looking deluxe I've seen in a while
- Skullcrucher: Brilliant, in my opinion, better lookimg than any of the 3P options
- Mindwipe: Pretty much perfect, the ankles maybe would need some work, but figuring out how he transforms, it's so fresh and brilliant that I can forgive the gappy-hollowness.
- Blurr: Perfect altmode, much more G1 looking bot mode than the generations one, I'll definitely grab it as I don't yet own a blurr.
- Scourge: Solid rendering of the G1 altmode, feels like he could do with more paint to break up that sea of blue, but thats generally accurate to the character. I can also get him because he's visually distinctive enough from my 2 sweeps to stand out
- Galvatron: a little janky in places, but he's the right scale and looks way more on model than the previous figure.
- Everything legends looks great, with the exception of Stripes, who looks god awful in any mode that isn't a perfect cuboid, nor was he really G1.
- FORT MAX: What can I say? I feel bad for my wife because she's had to listen to me gushing about it all night. A solid improvement over metro. There's just so much more content bolted onto the mold. So much more paint. He really fills out the shoes much better than metro did. He looks seriously majestic. Such a handsome head sculpt too. If I had any criticisms, it'd be that they re-used those same hands that don't really fold away anywhere, and that cerebros looks a tad compromised in terms of posability and proportion to accomodate the electronics. I can imagine him being more expensive than metro; but I feel that's justified for all the extras here.
I just hope that they don't neuter the voicebox for the european release like metroplex.

Some awesome stuff there. My favorites are Mindwipe, Wheelie (surprisingly enough) and of course, Fort Max.

Yup your right. I think the robot mode is cool and I like the headmaster component, but am I the only one a bit let down by the base mode? It doesnt look like part of a city, just a sprawled out robot.

Wheelie is also one of my favourites
And I too am surprised. I am impressed they wored in a cockpit that can work with the titan masters.

You have to admire their commitment to cross-selling that play pattern. Even the tape-bots feature connectors to sit the titan masters astride them.
Wheelie looks brilliant.

Same. Someone might could finagle the classic look, but I'm not sure how. Also uncomfortable with how unarmed Fort Max seems to be. Even Cerebros doesn't appear to have any weaponry!

Same here too, though Fort Max's other modes make up for that.

Alright finally got caught up on all the posts since everything went down. I couldn't be happier with all the titans return stuff. I'm really glad they are using a different head for rumble and eventually frenzy instead of the one from the render. I'm still holding onto hope that there's more reveals tomorrow, preferably Computron and Liokaiser.
As for the letting g1 rest thing, I would have to disagree with it. I see no reason to stop doing g1 characters. G1 started the brand and also was released the longest ago so they would need updates more than other figures in my mind. That being said, it wouldn't kill them to do some other generation updates or just new characters in general.

Blur in robot mode to me kinda reminds me(now i never said he LOOKS like) of Generations Whirl! or at least the torso section does!
Prime still has those prominent looking Ultra Magnus legs!
Hardhead definitely looks the most like his original
Chromedome in vehicle mode looks ok! just his legs in robot mode look wrong to me! canny put my finger on it as to why?
Wheelie looks great(yeah....i've stepped up from ok to great)
Fort Max is a definite must! granted he's not G1 accurate(no tower cockpit for Emissary figure, no hip cannons, no accurate G1 city mode, no Gasket/Grommet or Scamper repainted as Cog! which i thought they might've done!) Oh....i take it it'll suffer from the same thing as the Hasbro Metroplex? only sound fx but no voice fx! & maybe only one gun!(if it comes with a gun? or guns).

Man, I'm really not feeling the overall aesthetic with these. Everything's so blocky and formless, with greebles for the sake of greebles. Nothing feels like a functional machine, just a mass of geometric forms. And this universal gimmick results in everyone having weird block heads -- Scourge and Chromedome's noggins don't work as cubes.
"But it's G1!" Bleh, count me as one who just doesn't care. Give me that stealth bomber Scourge any day of the week.
