Fellow Seibertronians, we have been alerted to several video reviews by Chefatron of the upcoming Transformers Titans Return leader class Soundwave figure and his minions legends class Laserbeak, and Ravage. Soundwave is a retool of leader class Blaster - whose gallery you can check out here for a further look at the figure's base mold - but includes an additional gun, in reference to the G1 figures' 'battery' guns, along with a new helmet and a new Titanmaster. Legends class Laserbeak is a repaint of Combiner Wars Buzzsaw, while Ravage is a repaint of Titans Return Stripes, with a retooled head. So check out the reviews, and let us know what you think of them in the comments below.

Even with the sound off I can't stand this guy's ham fisted reviews. That being said I'm loving the look of Soundwave and unlike the brown plastic on blaster I don't feel the need to wait to see what Takara is going to do.

He's so clumsy with the figures in his reviews and when somethings not going the way he wants it to he gets rough with them and basically starts hitting them (see skylynx and trailbreakers reviews). He also can't seem to hold anything still. He tries showing off a portion of the figure but in doing so he flails his hands in front of it and keeps spinning it around. It makes it hard to focus on anything.

Oh yeah, this was the guy that was randomly hating on Sky Lynx because it's not an exact G1 representation and the packaging wasn't as good as Takara's wasn't it?

Yeah. I saw the Soundwave review some days ago, and it was not amazing. It seems almost like he just glances at the instructions real quick before filming, and then tries to figure out how the hell to transform it on camera. As a result, it makes it less like a tutorial, and more like watching your dad try and transform it for you.

Also, did anyone see that video by the Toy Spot on Unite Warriors Devastator? It was funny because he made it look so bad. :lol: I like to study my toys first before trying to film or photoshoot a review.

On a lighter note, I'm starting to warm up to TR Ravage; mostly due to the head. Which is nice because that mold was one of my few problems with TR (along with Laserbeak, Galvatron's mask and no targetmasters). Might actually pick it up though MP or Universe look to be better options for Ravage; then again, they are pretty small...

Unfortunately Laserbeak really continues to fail. He needs a LOT more red in his colour scheme; not necessarily in the same places as he had in G1, but just enough to evoke the character. The classic layout of Blue Soundwave, Black Ravage and Red Laserbeak is really taken down by quite a few notches here :(

Because I'm cheap and I don't want TR Soundwave. The mold isn't impressing me and I'm not in a rush to get it, so a sale would motivate me to jump.

If you ask me, Blaster was worth every penny of the $52 I paid for him.

Posted this on another thread, but thought I'd post it here. Got Scourge yesterday and he was a total bobble head. This fixed him right up.

I have a very low tech, very low cost fix for Scourge's bobble head. I took a business card, colored it blue with a sharpie and cut little squares. Then slid them down the sides and back of the Titan Master Socket. Now he isn't a bobble head. Best part about it. If you need to redo it at some point, just pull out the old card stock and add new.

I believe he is the superior mold too. He looks more like Blaster (in both modes) than Soundwave looks like himself. That said I did buy him for a little over $30 US and I would not have spent more. He is not an impressive toy and just does his job and not much else. There is nothing original about his transformation and not everything is flush. He has more gaps than the G1 toy and the connector ramps dont sotre well in alt mode (they cause a lot of pressure). Thses very much follow the trend of the CW leaders like te Seekers and Megatron of doing an ok job at being the character, but being very simple in design and not awe inspiring.

Soundwave superior, Blaster inferior.

How did no one say that yet?!

In all seriousness, I'd get Blaster too. I don't have Blaster at all in my collection, and he looks amazing as a boombox for breakdance fights between Fortress Maximus and Metroplex.

Seriously, I know they are expensive, leader class and all that, but they aren't that expensive. Buy both and it'll be cheaper than a 3rd party version of either of them.

Saw TR Blurr and Scourge today, and, man, do they look terrible in person, and at $15, I wasn't even willing pay that, because if they look that bad in person, I'm sure they'll only be worse once I've paid good money for them - only to find out that, on top of looking bad, they're also full of qc issues that seem to be plaguing this line thus far >:oP

Got the Voyager and Leader figures as well as Stripes from BBTS today. Stripes is poor, but the other four are fantastic with the obvious exception of Galvatron's mask. Blaster is pretty decidedly the best of the bunch in my opinion.

I got Scourge and Blurr yesterday. They're fantastic! Blurr is wonderful. Scourge did have some issues, but I was able to fix them fairly easily. He had a bobble head that I already posted in this thread how I fixed. His wrists were also loose. They're easy to pop off and fix with a little scotch tape square or some clear nail polish.

I saw your quick fix, noice. Hopefully it's no worse than any other figures. I feel like Powermaster Optimus Prime's Apex is a little loose too.

I live around the corner from that corner and they are the bees knees. I've seen no QC issues on the ones I have. Both HH and Blurr exceeded my expectations. I'd give either a hardy recommendation.

In some ways Tak's looks nicer, but I'm other ways Has' looks better. Go figure.

I have to ask, given earlier grievings about him - is Blurr's colour scheme much better in-hand, or is it just that people put up with it because they've gotten all their annoyances out about it at the photos pre-release?

Much mo betta in hand. I won't lie though, the figure could use a little paint to break up all that blue. Fun figures with lots of play options.

Another thing. The Sentinel Prime mold is very well executed. Very intuitive transformations for both alt modes and very little kibble despite being a triple changer. As someone who passed on Classics Astrotrain because he was a deluxe, I am very excited to finally get a good size version of him with a mold this good.

It's better in person. It's very saturated in the early photos we've seen. No, it's not cartoon accurate like the Legends version, but I think it still looks pretty great. The figure is so awesome though. To quote Scotty_P: If you need it to be exactly like the cartoon, get Takara. If you just want a fun toy that looks great, get Hasbro.

Ya other than the bobble head (nice fix BTW Rod Con) and wrists. Scourge IS rockin' the bee's knees. and as far as QC on Blurr, I can't see any. I've said it before, but will say it again, what Blurr lacks in paint he more than makes up for in sculpted detail and an awesome robot mode design.

You take the good, you take the bad, and there you have....

The facts of Titans Return? :-P

The figure is so awesome though. To quote Scotty_P: If you need it to be exactly like the cartoon, get Takara. If you just want a fun toy that looks great, get Hasbro.

Thanks for the opinions guys!
But yeah, I was mostly just considering Takara's Blurr not necessarily because I'm a stickler for cartoon accuracy - which, in fact, I'm absolutely not - but because from pictures Takara's just looked better whether you like cartoon accuracy or not and Hasbro's just looked a little... bad and bland. But yeah, if you guys say it's great I think I'll save the money by going Hasbro then!
The only accuracy I'd really be wanting would be IDW; with hopes that Shapeways or some third party company would later make an IDW Blurr head. I know the Generations Drift Retool exists, but this body matches up with the IDW version sooooo much better.


Funnily enough, for the most part I'm preferring to go with Hasbro for most all the figures so far. Most of Takara's decos are either sort of better but not enough to go over the Hasbro version (like Scourge), are appealing to fans of a cartoon I never watched or care to watch (Chromedome, Mindwipe etc) or are... just worse in my opinion (Hardhead). The only ones I've been interested in are Blurr, Galvatron, Shockwave, Skullcruncher and Ginrai - and of those you guys have clarified Hasbro's Blurr is fine, I'm only interested in Skullcruncher because of the better head but I think I'd go Hasbro anyway, Shockwave I was purely interested in because I'm having trouble finding the CW version anywhere, and while I still want Takara's Galvatron, I still like Hasbro's much better and just want Takara's because it's closer to the Marvel Galvatron II colouration. Ginrai's still an absolute winner though.
It's kinda funny since I was interested in literally every UW release over their Hasbro versions bar Defensor and Bruticus, and now it's pretty much flipped for TR. Hasbro's really putting in the effort this time.

Taking a second look at TR Bee, it really doesn't look very good to me. The feet look terrible, the lower legs just look weird, and those upper arms look really bad too because of those weird window pieces jutting out of his biceps. Pretty much the only parts I like about his robot mode are the chest, and the head. His vehicle mode looks awesome though, and looks a whole lot like Classics Bee, which is awesome. I think if it were a choice between T30 Legends Bee, and this Legends Bee, I would definitely go the former.

Is it just me, or is Powermaster Prime's leg transformation a significant improvement over Magnus'? I'm scared to transform Magnus whereas Prime's transformation, while effectively the same, is a lot more fluid and doesn't feel like it is stressing the plastic.

Hey all! If anyone is interested in doing the MarcusCole1978 TR Galavatron/CW Cyclonus head mod, Cyclonus is marked down to $12.49 at HTS. ;)^

Or, if you don't already have him, there's no reason you shouldn't, at that price. :lol:

I think the Legacy Headmasters, those that were never a Headmaster (Blaster), or those that were some other type of master (Powermaster,Targetmaster) are pre-tools of the classic Headmasters. For Example:

Blurr= Brainstorm

Scourge= Highbrow

Slapdash?= Chromedome

Obviously in the case of some like Hardhead and Skullsmasher, the classic Headmasters were released first, but I do believe those molds will be used for other figures down the line. My gut tells me Hardhead will be turned into a Warpath, CW has gotten us used to the idea of a Warpath without a cannon chest, and Skullcruncher just might be repainted into one of the long-nosed Sharkticons.

Obviously in the case of Blaster= Soundwave, that's just what I'd call a duh repaint. It's just so obvious it has to be done.

Rumours have already gone up about Skullcruncher and Hardhead into Krok and Quake, respectively.

And Chromedome will be turned into getaway


I couldn't think of the name thanks. I also think it'll be criminal if Blurr isn't retooled in Arcee.

Calling it now:

Apeface's monkey/jet, and (Sentinel Prime's)Infinitus repainted and packaged together as Optimal Optimus Titan Master.

It practically repaints itself.

Thanks for the alert Cobotron! I just ordered him- mostly because I don't have him yet :D I may have to give that mod a try though... once I find TR figures.
