Pictures of Every Transformers Titans Return Bases Connected Together

I know it makes fans sad to see the same toys all the time they go to a store, but does that mean that Titans Return is indeed not popular? I am asking because I cam back from an almost fully stocked TRU today. It had lots of movie stuff and older Titans Return stuff as well. Only Wolfwire and Roadburn/Bee/Brawn were left from the more recent TR stock.
But you know what wasnt there? Or at any TRU in Montreal (one of North America's biggest cities) ? Robots in Disguse Deluxes. I asked to see if what I was seeing in this store was the same elsewhere and after searchng through their digital inventory it was confirmed that they were sold out everywhere. That means everyone, including the countless Strongarm, Bee, Prime and Grimlock rereleases. All gone. And we know that those were ordered more than the TR deluxes (which sell at the same price point).

...

This to me proves that Tians Return in general is indeed niche and that kids are the primary market for toys (well for toys sold in toy stores). We collectors arent that big an audience. The fact that TR toys "shelfwarm" means that there isnt enough of us that care to buy more niche characters not supported by accompanying media.

Just wanted to state an observation, that display really stuck me is all.

It should have been a Fire guts Ginrai repaint. Re-releasing nearly the same deco was a total fail. Everybody who wanted a Ginrai already bought one or preordered the set combined with godbomber. Especially the people in the US who were forced to buy online from the same site that sells the takara version. Other than a few cheap people, who protested Takara Ginrais price, nobody needs Magnus Prime. Countless Magnus Primes will probably show up on e-bay, and the rest will undergo full toy accurate conversions courtesy of Perfect Effect.

Can the cabs and trailers for CW Ultra Magnus and TR Magnus Prime be swapped and still have functional robot modes?

You mean attaching the CW Ultra Magnus cab onto the Prime trailer?

It should be possible yes. But why?

You want to give Magnus Prime's trailer a white cab?

Disregarding Godbomber - I'm more interested in the Magnus Prime/God Ginrai (heck even Powermaster Optimus Prime) cab with the Ultra Magnus trailer going back to me wanting Magnus Prime to be more Ultra Magnus than Optimus Prime.

Some random thoughts - but somethings I would do different with the Prime Wars Trilogy: Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus should have been Titans Return Ultra Magnus with Minimus Ambus as a Titan Master/Headmaster. This Titans Return Ultra Magnus should then be re-tooled to a Power of the Primes Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex maybe as a Prime Master.

The only thing is the inside of the cabs are different. Ultra Magnus inside is more like a cockpit. The hinge that connects UMs head connection is different than the head master connection. The outer chassis is the same so if you left it in vehicle mode then its a go. Also if you wanted Magnus Prime to have UM's head then it is also a go. I had to check all three of mine since I have the PC-16 connected to God Ginrai I have a loose truck cab to inspect easily lol. But yes it can be done with ease...and you should take pics too lol.

I would have to disagree, in that I feel that pretty much all of those changes seem mostly superficial, with the exception of the larger Autobot symbols on the trailer/legs looking more garish and gaudy compared to Super Ginrai's smaller ones that look more subtle and less in-your-face about themselves.
