New Galleries: Titans Return Blitzwing and Octone

I really don't know of I should get Blitzwing and Octane or wait and see if they get updates like Astrotrain. Considering the news of the Mercenary faction and Octane's inclusion as a member in the Transformers Trading Card Game there is a possibility.

I really liked the TR blitzwing/megatron mold. If anything they’re fun-scaled vehicles with the rest of the Titan/head masters; the Titan bases; and the micro masters.

i mean, if you're fine with paying $50 for voyager-sized "leader class" figures...

yeah, but he specifically said "like astrotrain".

When I said "like Astrotrain" I meant them getting an update in general, I didn't say anything about wanting them to all be leaders. Besides, I'm a fan of the voyager sized leaders. It keeps my collection in scale.

Really wish everyone would give the "but they're VoYaGeRs!" a rest... they're *in scale* and Has/Tak has to fill out the price ranges some how. I don't think that the accessories (especially for the much de-cried Shockwave) were that underwhelming. The fact that Astrotrain has a dock/launchpad and otherwise connects with the up-coming Earthrise A.I.R. Lock system... I think folks will be pleasantly surprised (like most that actually bought Shockwave).

This is true, they only have about 6/8 voyager slots that can be filled pretty fast, especially with repacks to make sure everyone gets what they want.

It's also been proven that there's more plastic going into the new leader Class figures even if they are small in stature.

ya know, it might be a contentious mold but I don't hate that blitzwing *or* that megatron

Honestly, we've just gotten too used to leader as a size as much as a price point. If Hasbro had released the new figures with the same price point and a different class name, very few would have batted an eye.

Following up with our recent galleries of the Titans Return Decepticon Triple Changers, we have their Japanese-market counterparts from Transformers Legends! These figures were released in Japan as part of the Legends line, which was a set of figures released under the Generations imprint in the U.S., but with premium paint jobs and often, more cartoon accurate paint. This would be one of the last lines Takara would do with decos that differed from their Hasbro counterparts, before the brand unification that sees all figures released between both markets with identical tooling and decos.

Additionally, two of these figures, Blitzwing and Octane, came with Big Fight (a redeco of Titan Master Ramhorn's vehicle) and Titan Master Ghost Starscream, respectively.

Please enjoy these high quality galleries from the hands (and camera) of Seibertron himself and start tuned to Seibertron for upcoming galleries of Siege Ratbat, Rumble, Rung, and the fifth Ghostbuster, Ectotron!

I really dig my Octane w/ Murk and Ghost Starscream and I wish I had picked up Legends Blitzwing when I saw a good price but I do not like that Astrotrain. Not a fan of the train mode at all, neither on Astrotrain nor on Nemesis Prime. I just don't see what everyone else does in that figure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For that particular Nemesis Prime, it was a *lot* of folks update for Scourge from RiD200/Car Robots (admittidadly the TGS exclusive RTS/HftD Laser Prime repaint was pretty good). Combine that with the Baldigus repaint of Combiner Wars Bruticus and you had the best articulared representation of the decepticons from that show.

As for Astrotrain, I think it was more for the color representation and the fully painted head. The shuttle wasn't bad with actual paint on it. The cybertronian train was very reminiscent of the Omega Supreme half from Energon.

I think he meant sentinel safetycone prime

Yeah that was my impression as only Sentinel Prime was redecoed from the Astrotrain mold. I was impressed that they went back to IDW Stormbringer for the design of TR Astrotrain, it was really good to see.

I would love to see that mold in nemesis prime colors now just out of curiosity. It might even look good (at least in spaceshuttle mode)

See that's the kind of historical information that I come to this site for. I appreciate the history lesson! And as an owner of a couple of Takara Legends, you aren't kidding about the paint. I freaking love my Octane.

Yeah, that was my mistake. Big ol' Orange Sentinel Prime. Although now that he is getting some more love in the new IDW comic he's become little more interesting to me.

Seibertron.com's Gallery Quest 5000 continues! Here are some new (and long overdue) galleries of some favorites from the Transformers Titans Return line.

These new galleries include Voyager Class Optimus Prime with Diac, Megatron with Doomshot and Laser Prime with Refractor. The Optimus Prime mold is a remold of Titans Return Octone (Octane) and Megatron is a remold of Titans Return Blitzwing. Laser Prime, a recolor of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime, is a modern day update of G2 Laser Optimus Prime (which was recently given a new update in Transformers Legacy). Released in 2017, Laser Prime was part of the "Chaos on Velocitron" box set and is a challenging set to obtain due to its exclusivity.

What do you think about these Transformers action figures? Share your thoughts about these figures in our ongoing discussion on Seibertron.com's Energon Pub forums!

Enjoy these new galleries. More are on the way!

I still enjoy the TR Megatron and Laser Prime. I haven't replaced either of them, and don't intend to either

Wow that's a lot! I've like these images because they have figures in neutral poses.

How does the tank mode of Megatron look with the wings removed?
