By the by, that "Wolf-Con" may be connected to that wolf-like insignia we saw on a slide for a Hasbro presentation.

YAY!!! more non-transforming transformers.... what the fuck is this line coming to? soon we wont be able to call them transformers, just robots...

this is Hasbro telling us our kids are too stupid for real transformers? kids today can do things now that most adults couldn't do 20 yrs ago and even today, so don't treat the kids like they are stupid

Dear, those are prototypes what you normally call the "shampoo bottles", they're not the main line figures. I'm still surprised they're keeping the Titan lines alive...

no way this show could be as bad as beast machines

With various sources now making hay about the upcoming RiD figures, I guess this means the movie toy hullabaloo is really winding down. We may well see the movie stuff on clearance soon. As I anticipated, most of the movie4 stuff wound up warming the shelf, big time. I'll soon be seeing Grimlock figures for $5 at Ross or TJ Maxx.

Still won't buy them. Stick it, Bay. Your 'reboot' was more like a rePOOP. What does it say about you as a writer/director/producer, when CHILDREN's shows have better writing and stories than your movies?

And I found the Classics Prime/Evasion Prime G1 2-pack at TRU. What a disappointment. Not in the evasion figure itself, it's a fine mold (it's the ONLY movie4 toy I have), but I was told there was going to be a face mask head-sculpt for Evasion Prime - which would have made it worth buying again. But it was just the normal face movie sculpt with shinier paint. That's just LAZY. It had chrome covered bits (they both did), but without a face plate sculpt... well why did they say there was going to be one in the first place if they didn't mean it?

these stupid things fill up the toy shelves. I hate them. They are such a let down. I'm not one to rail against toys for kids but I think non-transformable transformers are not the way to go...

The simple one steps are alright, but this stuff and those sparkler AoE toys just take up shelf space.

BEHOLD! We now possess the technology to give Titan figures LEG ARTICULATION!

I hate non-transforming TFs too, but I'm pretty sure Hasbro (and their licensees) have been making non-transforming TF toys since the 80's, and it hasn't ruined the franchise yet, so I don't see what the big deal is. What about those stupid "drone" figures that were unpainted and had no articulation? Collectors still buy those on eBay. Or go check out the prices on MISB Action Masters. I bet you in 20 years, collectors will be paying top-dollar for these Titan figures.

the wolfguy being galvatron? i can see it. hes got similar features

"Galvatron" here appears to be missing the top half of his head. Eyes should be exactly midway in the face.

I hope the more high-end versions of the character has better proportions. I don't think anything bothers me more. (Thinking especially of figures with misplaced waists, too short legs, etc.)

I agree with your sentiment that non-Transforming toys have been around for a long time (Action Masters, Pretender shells, etc). However, I see those more as the best that could be done or as playing with gimmicks. Also, they (aside from some AMs) were all original characters, not simplified versions of ones that already had toys that did transform.

Again, not trying to start anything, just a conversation about why people are reacting the way they do at all these Titans. Personally, I think it's because, aside from one-step-changers and that deluxe BB, this is all we've seen of the RID line, and it's not very impressing to lead with simplified versions instead of the main line. That, and we've seen these types become shelf warmers twice now (Prime and AOE), and have no reason to think it won't keep happening.

beast wars silverbolt! is that you? and how did you hop into a different portion of the multiverse?

why is habro keeping this subline? Its clogging shelves now and thats not going to change at all when RiD comes out. Im sure hasbro thinks they're saving money by making nontransforming figures but in the long run their just hurting themselves. On another note im interested in this wolf looking character, not this toy just the character in general.

Can we just keep this thread as a thread about this one figure? Do we really need to combine all discussions of the entire RID line into one thread? That's really annoying.

I cannot guarantee that, right now. From a posting news point of view, this is much easier - from a reading point, I agree that it can be very disruptive. The staff are discussing better ways of finding a compromise, and will take on any suggestions sent to forums@seibertron.com!

IIRC, it's because the Titan Heroes/Guardians/etc. are actually a success over in parts of the world like China and such. So as long as there's some markets for these to profit off of, Hasbro's gonna keep making them.

If that's the case I don't really see it here. Hopefully with the recent price cuts they'll start moving a bit.

So where is the opening where the shampoo comes out ?

Why produce them for markets they don't sell in, then? Why not just make them available in the places where they're popular? Or are people buying them stateside too?

I'm just sad it has sullied the good name of Titan (class Metroplex).

I don't think you guys get the full picture. This "titan" style figure is not a Transformers thing, it's a Hasbro category of toy that exists beyond Transformers.

Here are some examples of other Titan figures from their Marvel line:

I'm just saying it's confusing. Kinda like calling this series Robots in Disguise when there was that OTHER one called Robots in Disguise a few years ago... the one with Skybyte.

That was back in 2001, I guess they think people have forgotten. Plus the old RiD is never going to be seen again 'cause either Disney owns it or they don't know who it belongs to now, so I guess they consider that as good a reason as any to reuse the name. But yeah, I wish they'd called the new one "More Than Meets The Eye" instead.

The wolf guy reminds me of weirdwolf.

So I get that that Prime's new mode includes his trailer as part of the robot mode, now making him larger. For god's sake WHY does Hasbro still hang his huge feet off the back of his vehicle mode??? You really couldn't hide them inside the TRAILER???

Promising stuff.

So it seems like the resin Grimlock prototype we saw before is the 'three-step changer' version, huh?
What's next, Hasbro? Four-step and five-step transformers?

Maybe there's a bigger figure coming, suiting your wishes a bit better.

I can live with the simple stuff with those regulr deluxes coming our way. Those look nice.

It's only me or the plastic on these figures feels cheap? And again steeljaw as a Decepticon

no cyberverse, but atleast legions has returned. and concidering what they have, yeah. i'm happy the small transformers is back

i cannot wait to add these babies to by cyberverse collection. even though they seem to be back from square one, whut? no weapons?? ugh. no commanders. UGH. no playsets? DOUBLE UGH! oh well, i guess i should be greatful that these small tfs are back. and not a bad line up. hope to get that sharkticon.

its back to transformers for me in 2015

I do find the Three Step changer Grimlock transformation kinda cool. The T-Rex head splitting at the jaw to become different legs.

MR Optimus Prime wrote:I do find the Three Step changer Grimlock transformation kinda cool. The T-Rex head splitting at the jaw to become different legs.

I agree, out of all of these, that's the one I would like most, even if it is a simpler transformation. What worries me though is that there are no signs of voyagers so far (unless the 3 step ones is what replaces that class), or of any transformer requiring more than 10 steps to transform. That being the case, everything we see here so far is very bulky (Strongarm for instance).

At least I can SEE car parts / alt mode parts in robot modes, and KNOW they turn into cars, etc.

Four different classes of figure and all of them seem to have simplicity in mind.

I don't mind Hasbro aiming for simplified designs in order to appeal more to kids, but I wouldn't mind at least one class of more complex figures. Hopefully we'll get one or two of these characters in the Generations line, as the designs are pretty cool. Especially like having a fembot that hasn't got the usual slender body type.

"Deluxe" Strongarm is pretty cool. Not sure on the rest.

warriors. come out to plaaaaaaay.

i guess those are the deluxe? anyway they look pretty good. as i thought. not a great show but some decent toys.

I like the possibility here that it might all be maxed at "Deluxe" here.. Fall of Cybertron was majority deluxe figures and was in my opinion one of the best lines to date!

Not sure about this line yet, the TV show looks promising, but with Combiner wars and some of the other Generations still to release... Not to mention any Master Piece figures they decide, my wallet is eaten...

nope.

i am really tempted to use deluxe prime as either star convoy or galaxy convoy

Why does the legion Optimus look a gazillion times better than this Optimus????????? By the Allspark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do not use this mold. Use the far better legion class mold It will make a better star convoy mold

Forget about the warrior class optimus.

Warrior Class Strongarm and Grimlock are my favorites out of this batch.

Weirdwolf "the wolf guy" changes to a car????????????Hmm,not bad.

(You have to put it like this: [img]*image%20URL%20here*[/img])

Honestly I don't think Warrior class Optimus looks that bad. I just hope he gets a bigger toy that puts him in slightly better vehicle mode scale and neatens up the transformation a bit. He does have a very Star Convoy vibe to him, which I like. The Japanese fans will probably love that (IIRC, Star Convoy was very well-liked in Japan, albeit not to the degree of Star Saber).

Thanks a lot!!!!!!You rock I am really let down badly by Warrior class Optimus.Oh,did I mention that Legion class OP is more cartoon-accurate than his Warrior counterpart.

Boy, do I sure feel jealous that you got to personally handle these figures in real life to know exactly what their plastic quality feels like.
