Those same backing cards also had images of two new heads, Apeface and Clobber, the later of which looks a lot like Grimlock.
As another small bonus, we have our first look at Voyager Alpha Trion's sword since Power Master Optimus is wielding it in the display case.
Lastly, we have a confirmation of the price range for deluxes. An early rumour was that these would be bigger, more detailed and more expensive, but every price found on the show floor indicates no price increase for these toys.




Hopefully, this will tide you over until the big presentation tomorrow that will fully unveil these new toys.

Its planned to come out within the next 4 months, its not clear beyond that precisely when. Takara's version comes out in August.
The first 2 waves (and probably only waves) that are coming out this year are all the toys you see on display there. The first wave will have rewind, stripes, Blaster, Galvatron, Sentinel Prime, Blur, Scourge, Hardhead and Skullcruncher.
On TFsource is says August 2016 instead of 2017. Of course that is a mistake, but what if the whole date is wrong?
??? Why would it say 2017, these toys are coming out this year. You sure you ddint inverse the numbers. And just to make sure you know, we are in the year 2016.

Wait, sorry I mixed something up in my head. Never mind. August in my head for some reason registered as "March". I am tired and sick. Don't judge me!

Btw, is anyone here planning on waiting for the Takara version of Blurr before getting this figure?

For all we know, Takara might come out before. I don need to wait, I can judge that Takara's looks amazing and will be getting that one instead.

Can anyone confirm?

Yes he is; TT used him as the basis for demonstrating headmasters to the suits at hasbro, or something like that

If we get him, of course.

Probably the same time wave 3 of Combiner Wars came out last year, which was... May? June? Since deluxe wave 6 of CW has seen decent saturation now, the first Titans wave is probably en route to warehouses as we converse.

We've heard both Legend (along with Gnaw and Kickback) and Titan Master (with Apeface), but we'll probably know for sure today. Maybe he's Clobber's bot mode?

Also: Liokaiser!

This actually has me really nervous. Since his modes are the same as a titan master that they would be as a Voyager I wonder if they'll even bother to make him big. If they do though he'll have a mini me, which would be awesome.

So I guess anyone who wanted just one individual bot is also SOL. Guess the only way I'm getting a scrounge or a nosecone is by someone splitting the contents of boxed sets up and selling them at triple the price of a deluxe. How absolutely miserable.

That's because its a tiny pic on the bottom of the platinum autobot box...

Looks like it'll only be a complete package release as well. Guess when they're concentrating on titan wars, they won't want to release individual combiner limb toys. Muddies the waters too much.

You were expecting them to be individual releases even though we knew Combiner Wars individual releases were over after wave 6 and individual deluxes, voyagers, etc were going to be Titans Return branded? We knew, explicitly or implicitly, that further Combiner Wars releases would be box sets, this should not be a surprise.
So Hasbro can't even decide what way they want Nosecone to face.

The former looks bad but it's what Ramhorn and now Nosecone have been officially solicited as, while the latter makes more sense for the mold. However, Hasbro's Strafe looks surprisingly good. Kudos for that.

Liokaiser looks strange with that extra inch of height that not folding back the treads gives him. Odd that he's featured on the back of some packaging but they didn't want to reveal him yet. But that's been the trend of this con. Most of today's reveals were on the packaging of yesterday's figures, so what can you do.

Brawn is an odd choice for a Titan Master (and I imagine everyone who ever wanted Legends Brawn from the Swerve mould are going to be furious), but his ATV/motorcycle is cool. Voyager Alpha Trion's alt modes don't look as good as I had hoped, but I'm still going to buy him, and a Lio Convoy repaint at some point would be great. And I'm probably kidding myself here, but Wolfwire looks like he could easily be retooled into a Transmetal style Cheetor and/or Tigatron, I hope that happens one day.

I don't know about Cheetor or Tigatron remolds/repaints, but I can say that Hasbro has knocked it out of the park with Weirdwolf (aka, "Wolfwire"). It's hard to see how Takara Tomy could really improve on that for their Legends line.

We were leaving him with Platinum stuff because that is the only version showed off to date. We are waiting on the mainline release images to post in this thread. If you want to share images over here though of the platinum one no one will stop you

It's been implied that that is Overlord! But while we should not rule out the duocons, Overlord was rumored and so far those rumors have proven to be pretty accurate
