In-Hand Image of Transformers Titans Return Seaspray and Cosmos

Check them out below, and keep your optics peeled for more news soon!

Ooooohoohoohoo I can't wait to get a chance to grab these guys! In the meantime though, I'm just plain excited to see more in-hand images of Seaspray because he still looks so amazing.

Interesting, though, that in-hand he looks a lot less 'clean' than he did in previous images. I'm sure part of it has to do with his legs being packaged sideways, but it just looks like he has a lot more obvious hinges and joints than the (IIRC) super-jointless-looking images I seem to remember. (I might just be misremembering of course.) Not that I mind it either, in fact it makes him fit in a bit better visually with his buddies - just interesting that the joints and lines seem a lot more prominent than I remember seeing in previous pictures.

So weird that the package art is their vehicle mode. Is their collector card also of the vehicle?

Yes

I keep 'em around, they're kind of cute. Even when the CW ones featured them in completely different bodies...

It looks like Cosmos is a slightly darker shade of green, but is there any other change? Scrounge had one, and did that carry over or is there some new Titan-tooling?

That is ridiculous!

At least they are getting cards. What would be real dumb is if some came with cards and some came with comics, depending on where you are located geographically, making you unable to get all the set.

God bless, Jason Scott Irelan

There's definitely a newer version of Wheelie, from just the beginning of this line! Legends class; probably the best-looking G1-styled Wheelie we've gotten in a long time (ever?); there's some debate over whether he's ruined by QC issues leading to a not-very-secure vehicle mode, but if you can get one that pegs together solidly enough (like mine) then he's a genuinely fantastic figure! The only problem might be that he was in Wave 1 and most stores are up to Wave 3 or 4 now, so he may be a little hard to find at retail. I'm sure WJ88 or someone can source up a few online stores that still have him for a decent price, though.

As for Cliffjumper, the most recent update to him was a retool straight-up repaint (thanks Wolfman) of the Thrilling 30 Bumblebee mold, and that was about 3 years ago. I've never had that mold myself so I can't make a personal judgement, but from what I understand it's pretty decent (and also useful if you have the new Titans Return Bumblebee and want the two not to share a mold). Of course being so far out of production, you'd have to go secondhand to find him, but if you really want an updated Legends-class Cliffjumper now then that's by far your best option. (If you wait a while longer though, I'm sure we'll see another new Cliffjumper within the next couple years, possibly/probably as a redeco or retool of TR Bee. No guarantees though, of course, just theorising!)
