When I heard about this figure I was pretty much "Ugh, another bloody Windblade."
Having seen it though...I kinnnnda want to get her now. The face sculpt and deco are pretty damn nice, the figure itself is decently proportioned (imo) in both modes.
Yeah, I think probably if I see her in the store I'll snap her up.

How many more Titans or waves of Titans are there likely to be? I've sold some of mine but keeping the ones I need to represent certain characters in my collection the best (like voyager Megatron). Even tempted to sell Legends Blurr (though i did mess up the head a bit so won't be for much) as now I have the KO MP Hot Rod and upscaled Generations Arcee by Weijang becoming my '86 movie tribute on my shelf I am likely selling the real Gen Arcee and Legends Blurr looks too small. Heck even Generations voyager Springer looks a smidge too small next to them but suffices for now. Have cancelled Legends Hot Rod and Kup for now too. Think I'm just at a crossroads regarding the G1 part of my TF collection and not quite settled on what I'm doing. At least with my live action movie stuff this is so much easier for me and I've been happily buying TLK toys for that shelf. There's just some more G1 characters I would like good toys of but not sure if they'll ever happen or if they do I think I'd be happier if they weren't Titans.

I can't tell if the upper torso's skeleton has been re-engineered significantly, but Windblade's hips don't lie look like scourge/highbrows.

So, the rumors are true. Windblade never skips leg day!
Seriously, those are some Chun-Li caliber legs right there. Windblade is ready to literally kick some shiny metal ass!

Yeah she is like many of the figures in this line that share several parts but it's kinda unaccurate to call it a retool.
Also is it just me or does Windblade's red torso armor sort of resemble Wonder Woman's armor? Unintentionaly of course.

Yeah, beats me. But its a great colour and an AMAZING match for both the G1 toy and IDW.
I am very glad Takara is giving fans a different option for deco but I don't find myself feeling I get something subpar when buying the Hasbro one. The main thing that gives Takara a step up is the Targetmaster but you are still paying $10 more to have it (not including shipping from Japan) so its not like they are giving you more for the same price. I personally find that a tad bit expensive and prefer the option of getting just the main figure if it means I end up paying a total of $10.23 for the Hasbro version (thanks to rainchecks) as opposed to a total of $35 for the Takara version.

You mean those giant figures we get once a year? There are no waves per say, hey just release one per year and will keep doing so for the forseable future. As for titans return, there is one more wave after this Misfire one. And then its POTP.

I don't have any attachments to the Targetmaster guns as characters themselves to me their just Transforming guns that can speak so no loss getting the Hasbro versions.
Then again I have Takara Hot Rod (To use the Rodimus head on him to be my Rodimus Prime) and Takara Kup (For being better colors and slightly different to Hasbro) on Preorder so if I need to give anyone a gun I'll just use those.

Sorry I meant Titans Return regular figures. I've no interest in the actual huge Titans.
this power of the primes. What's the main gimmick there?

Ooh, that Misfire deco is BEAUTIFUL. Suddenly I don't feel I need Takara's as much...

Ugh, what is it with all these late G1 figures having the same ugly ass frickin face, shades+nose+mouth do not a cool and memorable figure make, and I swear half the figures in this line are some crappy derivative of it, this blows, and so do they 
Re: In Package Images for Titans Return Topsin, Misfire and Windblade

Yeah if it stays that color I won't even bother with Takara's. Turns out william-james was right, color me pleased. Which also means I probably won't get Legends Sixshot either. Hooray for not spending exorbitant amounts of money.
And on a side note, that Windblade has went from a pass to a solid maybe. I wasn't feelin' it at Toy Fair but now all she needs are less skinny forearms, wrist swivels, and a better weapon. Luckily I can fix the sword part by using the Generations one.

Someone asked if we got any "new" Titan Master design, as in not based on anyone. We sure did, and more than you think:
Crashbash
Loudmouth
Nightbeat
Terri-Bull (the first four were originally conceived as having original faces as well)
Sawback
Freezeout/Flameout
Godbomber
The last 3 are still under investigation.

Don't forget Shuffler and Ramhorn. They do have reference heads, but they fall under the same catagory as Sawback.

They're both based on the Battle Beast Sledgehammer Elephant, aka Elephan.

Dunno about you guys, but I'm picking up this whole Deluxe wave. Misfire and Windblade are awesome characters I adore from the IDW comics, and I had Twin Twist as a kid. Or a Knockoff of him. There were so many Jumpstarter KOs it's kind of hard to tell.
