Hot Rod looks okay, except those are some really long arms... I'm happy with my Classics version, but maybe I'll check this guy out...

They should make a Titan master of his MTMTE head style

Yeah, but it's nice to finally have an option (options are optional...)

It's awesome that they molded air intakes on the side of the plane cockpit within the tanker 8-)

If the wings were wider, it's be a no-brainer, as it is, I need better pics for a better sense of scale/proportion :-?

Obvious-Octane-is-obvious.

Octane and Kickback is the best news.

In general, Titans Return has not thrilled me, mostly because of the gimmick I don't care much about. But if we can Voyager+Titan Master versions of the original six Triple Changers (so that they match) Titan Masters will have all been worth it for me.

What's up with sixshot's head? Does he not have eyes? I hope that's a misapplication of the titan headgear.

Oh man! This all so good. I gotta sit down and catch my breath.

This whole "let's make some triple-changers OTHER characters before repainting them as traditional triple-changers characters" is freaking stupid.

I know people are going to attack me over that, I know people are going to call me a Geewunner, but come on! That Optimus Prime looks freaking stupid. "Plane"? ugh ... okay, if you want to call it that fine, but in Starscream colours? Come on ...

What's wrong with Prime being a triple changer?

While not the exact same deco placement Optimus and Starscream have always had the exact same colors of red, blue, white and some black/grey.

You might not like it and thats fine but I don't get how it's stupid...

Who's the blue guy next to bot-mode Sixshot?

I can deffo see an Octane repaint/remold coming, from that Prime

I think it's just a prototype of Sixshot?

I believe that's a non-production color prototype.

I think he means that that the jet/tanker truck and tank/fighter jet should have been released as Octane and Blitzwing first, rather than later. Call it a spoiler for the ones who are know-it-alls when it comes to Triple Changers. Speaking of spoilers:

Hey there, Blitzwing, like your new job?

Optimus as Octane?

Hotrod looks like a simplified henkei.not bad.

Megs really needs a decent paint job.

I see it now. The lack of wings threw me for a minute. Thought it was supposed to be another character.

Comment by Cobotron Jul 29, 2016

At first I was like, what's up with Hot Rod's hollow guns?

Then I saw the two ports on the roof of the alt mode. So when you peg them in, they form a manable cannon for a Titan Master. I like it!

Nice Sixshot update. Now the legs and knees bend. I definitely see a great Shot potential. Oh, Takara doing a paint job would make the mold shine even better.

Thanks to 52Toys, we can now see Sixshot in all of his glorious seven modes! Now sporting an updated: spaceship, tank, beast, submarine and battle station mode. His Titanmaster has been revealed to be named Revolver. So check out the images and let us know what you think of Sixshot in the comments below.

OH MY GOD!

Ok FINE! I'll get that Kickback! I'm glad he's the same scale as Generations Shrapnel and Combiner Wars Bombshell. To be honest, I also like that he's also styled differently. If they tried to match what they did with either Shrapnel or Bombshell, then one of them would look out of place. But since all three of them are different from each other it works! And I'm NOT getting that Optimus, but I WILL get the Octane repaint! As for the triple changer Megatron... I'm REALLY tempted to get it, because it looks AMAZING!

Everything that has just been revealed is making me grin ear to ear right now! I absolutely love everything that has been revealed! That Optimus is really neat, but it is super obviously Octane. Fangry is so terrifyingly adorable that I just can't pass him up. I also decided I was going to buy every Titanmaster just because they're so cheap, so him and Ptero are definite buys, anyway. Speaking of Ptero, he's nothing special, but I do like him and more heads to swap around is always good!

Hot Rod looks amazing! I also don't own a single version of Classics Rodimus, so this is perfect for me! Kickback is great for those who want to complete their Legends Class Insecticons team, but I never bought Legends Class Bombshell and Shrapnel, so I might pass on Kickback. Sixshot definitely stole the show! He is a definite buy for me! The Destron Ninja Consultant shall finally be in my collection!
