Official Bios for Titan Masters and Extended Bios for Wave 1 and Wave 2 Titans Return Toys

Posted by william-james88 Oct 19, 2016 at 3:38pm CDT 50,674 views
With the US now getting the packaging with multiple languages, bios for the toys have been truncated or done away with, as is the case with the Titan Masters. However, these official bios can still be found in product listings online. These can interest fans, especially since in many cases they are the only source of fiction behind the new Titan Masters and their bond with the other characters. Below is a list of extended and new bios from Hasbro.com and while some offer no new information (especially with deluxes), they all help add to the larger story Hasbro is set on telling through their toyline. Apeface for instance gives the bots who he combines with the ability to mass shift, which is a nod to how this bot who is usually represented as a larger figure is just a Titan Master here (so far) and Wheelie's bio is full of rhyme.

Skythread:

Skytread is double the trouble on the battlefield. This Decepticon has a knack for playing bait, setting the ultimate trap, and reeling in the enemy. He prefers to divide and conquer (literally). When Skytread teams up with other bots, he gives them the ability to create a clone decoy of themselves.


Clobber:

Clobber would rather handle things with his thundering fists than with a blaster or an Energon sword. Clobber often boasts of his legendary strength, “Clobber no need weapon, Clobber already have two.” When Clobber teams up with other bots, he gives them super strength.


Brawn:

Brawn wouldn’t want any bot mistaking his small size for an easy target. The Autobot boldly welcomes any and all challenges, even if that challenge is a Decepticon 10 times his size. His overconfident attitude sometimes lands him in trouble he has to fight his way out of, but that’s just the way Brawn likes it. When Brawn teams up with other bots he enhances their armor making them virtually indestructible.


Apeface:

The menacing shadow of Apeface is enough to make other bots scatter. The Decepticon believes intimidation is the best weapon. He's loud, obnoxious, and strikes fear into the sparks of other bots through his bloodcurdling growls. When Apeface teams up with other bots, he gives them the ability to mass shift and grow in size.


Loudmouth:

Loudmouth speaks at full blast. The Autobot is louder than everyone, and his audio-processor-shattering volume never stops. This can be intimidating to enemies in battle, even if it's constantly blowing his allies' cover. When Loudmouth unites with other bots, he gives them the ability to disable enemy systems with a Circuit Shock Disruptor.


Terri-Bull:

Terri-Bull is a filthy slob. The Decepticon is one of the most vile bots there is, and he's proud of it. Even though he stinks, leaks fluids, and can't be bothered to clean his armor, other bots know not to call him on it. His mean streak is as nasty as his smell. When Terri-Bull unites with other bots, he gives them the ability to attack other bots with a corrosive rust cloud.


Nightbeat:

Nightbeat can sleuth out the truth behind any mystery. He's a relentless detective who's not afraid to chase clues wherever they lead, even if it means getting himself into trouble with enemies much bigger and stronger than he is. When Nightbeat unites with other bots, he gives them exceptional tracking ability.


Crashbash:

Crashbash is a one-bot wrecking crew. He barrels through anything that stands in his way with thundering brute force. When Crashbash unites with other bots, he gives them the ability to harness unstoppable berserker rage.


Rumble:

Decepticon Rumble is part of a team of Decepticon spies led by Soundwave. A demolitions expert who often speaks in rhyme, Decepticon Rumble is a trash-talking, Autobot-stalking brawler. Though he's small in size, he's capable of bringing down huge targets by transmitting low-frequency ground waves that create powerful earthquakes.


Ravage:

Decepticon Ravage is part of a team of Decepticon spies led by Soundwave. A loyal and dedicated operative, he is ruthlessly effective at getting the data he needs. Hidden in the shadows, he silently tracks his prey and strikes with ferocious force when the Autobots least expect it.


Laserbeak:

Laserbeak is part of a team of Decepticon spies led by Soundwave. Laserbeak is a tracker who excels at hunting down enemy targets. Hes also a fearsome interrogator who persuades captured Autobots to spill their secrets by threatening them with his laser cannons.


Stripes:

Autobot Stripes is a tactical recon expert who works for Autobot Blaster. He was created by the Autobots to counter the Decepticon spy Soundwave and his team. Autobot Stripes is trained in stealth tactics, but he's ferocious enough to fight his way out of trouble if the Decepticons detect his energy signature.


Rewind:

Autobot Rewind was created by the Autobots to counter the Decepticon spy Soundwave and his team. His vast databanks allow him to capture almost any datapoint his sensors pick up. He stores seemingly endless amounts of information, which makes him perfect for surveillance operations.


Wheelie:

Autobot Wheelie is small, and if you heard him talk, you wouldn't think he would last very long in battle. But the Decepticons haven't managed to deactivate him yet. In fact, he's taken out a few Decepticons himself. The Autobot has mastered the skills to survive any situation on or off the battlefield. The other thing he does better than any bot is rhyme. In fact, he does it all the time. It makes other Autobots groan. And that's why Autobot Wheelie spends so much time alone.


Highbrow:

Highbrow knows all the answers but usually can’t be bothered to explain them in ways other bots can actually understand. He's one of the most intelligent Autobots, and a master of predicting what the Decepticons will do next. The gravity disruptors of Xort give Highbrow the power to manipulate gravitational fields.


Mindwipe:

Mindwipe and Vorath can destroy an Autobot target without ever picking up a blaster. The Decepticon hypnotist and his Titan Master partner manipulate other bots to carry out their sinister plans. Mindwipe starts by casting his hypnotic spell, and then Vorath takes full control over other bots' central processors, turning them into servants that do their bidding.


Hardhead:

Titan Master Furos might be the only bot who craves battle more than Hardhead. That makes him the perfect partner for the combat-driven Autobot. Just don't get them started on whose fireblast took down that Decepticon. Furos gives Hardhead a regenerative healing power that instantly repairs armor and systems damage in battle.


Blurr:

Blurr is one of the fastest known Autobots. When Blurr unites with Hyperfire, it boosts his already incredible speed even further, making him fast enough to outrun blaster fire.


Skullsmasher:

Skullsmasher has an endless appetite for combat, and for Autobots! He doesn't need blasters or other weapons -- he'd rather defeat his enemies by devouring them. He isn't the quietest Decepticon, which can make catching his targets harder. Titan Master Grax makes Skullsmasher invisible to the Autobots by masking his energy signature. When they team up, it's time to chow down.


Chromedome:

If anyone can produce an Autobot super soldier, it's Chromedome. The computer scientist can reprogram a bot’s systems to make them function at beyond-peak performance. Autobot Stylor gives Chromedome a rare programming tool: the power of mnemosurgery, the ability to access and edit another bot's memories.


Wolfwire:

A cruel and vicious Decepticon Wolfwire is. Talk in backward sentences he does. His Titan Master partner has a similar knack for reversals. The Titan Master Monxo gives Wolfwire the power to rewind time in short bursts, but it drains his energy to dangerously low levels.


Scourge:

Scourge is a tracker unrivaled in his ability. The Decepticon is one of the universe's most powerful bots, and those he pursues inevitably meet with an unfortunate end. Titan Master Fracas can steal the powers of other bots, letting Scourge harness whatever ability suits his sinister plans.


Alpha Trion:

An ancient and wise warrior, Alpha Trion possesses immense knowledge. He has spent centuries helping to lead the Autobots. When he does pick up his sword and join them on the battlefield, he attacks with the skill of a true master. His Titan Master partner, Autobot Sovereign, carries the energy of Primus, giving any bot he unites with immeasurable power. Alpha Trion is one of the few bots who can harness that power without risking a systems overload.


Astrotrain:

Astrotrain is a master at keeping his enemies guessing. He uses his Triple Changer ability to spread confusion. He shifts so rapidly between modes the Autobots can't tell if they're being attacked by one Decepticon or three. The Titan Master Darkmoon gives Astrotrain an even greater advantage: he has a cloaking mode that makes Astrotrain undetectable to Autobot sensors.


Galvatron:

Galvatron will risk anything for conquest, including uniting with Nucleon. Nucleon is fueled by an unstable energy source. He brings increased strength and unpredictable powers, but can damage bots he links with beyond repair. If Galvatron can successfully harness the power of Nucleon, he'll gain an overwhelmingly powerful universal systems upgrade.


Sentinel Prime:

Sentinel Prime has returned. One of the most powerful warriors who has ever lived, the former Autobot leader looks to impose his will on a universe that sits on the edge of full-blown war. The Titan Master Autobot Infinitus gives Sentinel Prime temporary invincibility by shielding him with a forcefield. This Titans Return Voyager Class Autobot Sentinel Prime figure comes with a Titan Master Autobot Infinitus figure.


Powermaster Optimus Prime:

Optimus Prime will stand against any threat. Autobot Apex helps him face enemies that even the Autobot Commander cannot face alone. The Titan Master carries a portion of the spark, and power, of Optimus Prime, increasing the legendary warrior's already immense ability. With that boost to his systems, he charges into battle as Powermaster Optimus Prime.


Blaster:

Autobot Blaster is a master of stealing enemy signals and classified data. To decode encrypted Decepticon transmissions, Autobot Blaster links with his Titan Master partner, Twin Cast. Twin Cast is a walking cipher — a bot with the most advanced cryptography programming in the universe.


Soundwave:

Soundwave is the most feared signal-stealer in the universe, and his Titan Master partner Soundblaster is a master of cyber infiltration. He drops a backdoor code into the systems of any bot he unites with, giving Soundwave a way in. With that access, Soundwave can raid any bot's processors -- completely undetected -- and steals a constant stream of information.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

i.e.--removing their ability to Transform ? ;)

Also...I wonder how they will explain Brawns upgrade from Titan Master to Legend Class. Probably the same way they will explain PM Prime's downgrade to Voyager Size

But we dont need new uses of these molds. Look at the AOE dinobots, none of them were used for different characters and the only redecos were exclusives. Same could be said for Gen Voyager Brainstorm, Rhinox, Rattrap, Skybyte, Roadbuster Whirl, and that Gen Minicon team among many others.

If you cant tell by my name, Omega Supreme has been my favorite ever since I saw him way back in the 1985 TF toy booklet ;) . But I'm glad Trypticon got the fan vote for 2017 Titan figure. It has been a far longer wait for Tryp than Omega.

Most fans are speculating 2018 Omega Supreme & 2019 Scorponok (or vice versa) either way is fine.

Exactly. it is my sincere hope that whatever is coming down the line for late 2017, it should be a whole new wave of Legends, Deluxes & Voyagers. New Beasts and new vehicles to represent the classic combiners that have not yet been released, along with some new ones. Whatever they call the line, as long as they are compatible with 2015/2016 CW/UW I am good.

It was in the context of a Dinobot Combiner. I'm only going by the precedent that Combiner Wars had a humongous load of mold re-uses for whatever reason, so I'm betting if we did get a Dinobot combiner Grimlock would have to be re-used for someone; and I'd really like to see a BW Megatron if we have to get a mold re-use.



"The other thing he does better than any bot is rhyme. In fact, he does it all the time. It makes other Autobots groan. And that's why Autobot Wheelie spends so much time alone."

These sick burns, goddamn


I'm just realising that this is, essentially, swapping out different faces which according to fiction gives you different powers. Guess Bionicle isn't as cancelled as I thought.

The bios are pretty interesting. I was pretty bummed when they got reduced due to the language stuff, and I'm glad we can still get them somewhere. Hopefully this continues for the rest of the line...

Bioncle wasn't really anything obscure. It was one of Lego's biggest lines, after all.

I only know one place I can get RID Minicon - and only one wave, and no where closer than 50 miles away sells Titanmasters - which is bizarre what is stopping store stocking these little things ?

---------

Anyway complaints aside a few thoughts about the Bios -

How is Fracas supposed to steal other bots powers if the powers are more often than not in the head not the bot - if he hijacks someones body that would be modestly useful - but leave scourge headless.

Odd that.

------

It's a amusing conincidence that this just showed up as I just had to look up the name of the Dalmation that comes with a Rescue Bot Playset as they didn't actually put it's name on the packet (it's Fire-Plug incidentally) and i'm wondering if he's actually compatible with next years RID line as he seems to have the same sort of long post on him - I wonder... anway back on topic...

--------

Sovereign contains the power of Primus - but isn't Primus so... two thoughts

Is he Over-Run or is he Prima reincarnated ? or just some sort of Robot Jesus like figure - conceptually speaking.
-----

I guess a robot that is Nucleon Powered but immune to system lock and can pass power on Mini-Con like to others with only some side effects not all - has some merit.

It also might explain what is going on with Megs being the upgrade/ or downgrade perhaps from Galvatron if they happen to be the same guy (which they might not be).

------

Apex seems to read very like either Hi Q or even the elements that lead to Ape Linq or Primal Prime to me. especially as the name apex contains "Ape" or Ape-X if you will - Optimus Primal's spark perhaps ?

What with Primal holding Optimus' spark for a while the affinity and the reason for him to maintain a sliver of him would even make some story sense.

But then the same is true I guess if you think "Apex Armour" i.e. 'God Bomber' too.. a lot of options there for sure to explain Apex in all kinds of interesting ways.

------

Soundwave's Bio seems to say don't go borrowing someone else's head without permission - I guess The larger bots are where the gimmick idea actually can work as the Helmet means the still look mostly like who they are supposed too - no matter the head they wear.

I'm guessing he "copies" the powers of any given Titan Master he faces. Kinda like Pokemon's Ditto, HAL's Kirby, or Capcom's Mega Man :)

Sovereign is based on BotCon 2007 Beta Maxx (a redeco of Safeguard, Vector Prime's partner), and it seems not just in design. His bio says he can serve as a key to Vector Sigma, which is linked to Primus himself. Also of note is that all Sovereign's stat boosts are "Infinity".

Just because he's called "Nucleon" doesn't mean he's powered by it. Think of him as a Nucleon substitute ;) And as far as we know he's not Megatron in US fiction, so he's a bit of an Easter Egg as well.

Apex seems to read very like either Hi Q or even the elements that lead to Ape Linq or Primal Prime to me. especially as the name apex contains "Ape" or Ape-X if you will - Optimus Primal's spark perhaps ?

Apex is named after the Apex Armor, but the character has more in common with Hi-Q, specifically the Marvel comics version. In the end, he and Optimus Prime's mind melded together as one, which allowed the latter to survive after the Powermaster body was destroyed, but the Hi-Q one was left intact.

And the Ape-X pun is reserved for Legends Convobat's Ape-X Arms drone. :lol:

If I am Right about Brawn having a hollow body accesable from the removable roof-shield then the Titanmaster can sit inside the Legends Class Body and use him like an exo-suit. and then carry around his mini-vehicle as a weapon as well - which would be pretty cool.

That would make a great retcon for the potential TFLegends version. Like a reverse to Tank Megatron having a mini Megs within him. :APPLAUSE:

Rewind was made by the Autobots? We don't really hear about that form of "birth" very often these days.

I still think Primus will be the 2018 Titan. Who better for the final leg of the Prime Wars trilogy?

Comment by Beyonder Oct 20, 2016
Does any one else notice that there are potential plot devices and off-the-charts, mind blowingly powerful bots among the Titan Master series?

Nucleon: unpredictable powers. Does this mean he can have ANY power the plot needs Galvatron to have? It really sounds that way to me.

Furos: INSTANTANEOUS healing. Does that mean that Hardhead is the Cybertron's version of Deadpool? That's crazy!

Sentinel Prime: can IMPOSE his will on the Universe if he so chooses. Does this mean he can... warp reality? Because, what else would that mean?

Infinitus: temporary INVINCIBILITY. So Sentinel Prime can go GOD-MODE? And how temporary? 6 months is also temporary!

And Sovereign... infinite stats. Not even a Titan has that!

Good lord.
