TLK Cogman Titan Master Revealed, In Box Image of Skullitron and More

Well I guess I'll be grabbing Cogman as well now. I never get movie figures except a couple but this line is just getting better and better

Great idea!

But please stop giving me even more reasons to empty my wallet.

The more I'm looking at them both, a Nitro figure could be the closest thing to a voyager class Thunderwing I will settle for at least for the foreseeable future. That's the size I wanted him at (deluxe too small, leader too big, i like Marvel Thunderwing). I intend to get Siege on Cybertron set anyways for Magnus Prime and I'll keep the Thunderwing head to put on Nitro (haven't decided if i'll have two Nitros) and paint some bits of the body to match (he's mostly a similar grey/silver anyways, just needs a bit of blue or purple or whatever). The other three figures in SoC can go on eBay.

Not sure if it is just me, but I can easily see an Energon Hot Shot retool from TLK Cogman, as they are both similar types of Aston Martin vehicles, and all it would need is a few things changed and a new Decoration ...

But we already got a hotshot in AOE

Can someone point me to why Nitro apparently makes a decent Thunderwing? I'm really not seeing it...

Might depend on what you'd want out of a new Thunderwing toy. Or whether you prefer Marvel's Matrix obsessed commander character (yay!) or the monster IDW one (bleh). And seeing as how it's unlikely I'll be treated with a proper new Voyager class Thunderwing anytime soon, the Nitro body with some minor repainting will do for me.

I'm just wondering about how it resembles any version of Thunderwing - again, I don't see it. Would prefer the Marvel character; dunno why Hasbro keeps referencing the IDW version when he was a bit player at best in the very very early stages of the continuity.

Don't worry about it then. If I get Nitro and the SoC pack I'll have a go at making a Thunderwing for my own collection. I'm not massively fond of the face on the SoC Thunderwing TM but sometimes we just gotta go with what we can make do with to fill gaps in our collections til we get something more official and accurate

Yes Nitro would look like a pretty decent Thunderwing - in this case the organic design fits in well with the original's Pretender status as well as the IDW design - it would certainly be worth slotting a new-head repaint back into a future movie line as Thunderwing. Just add in some purple and green accents and a new head - and then those who want to use it as a headmaster also have the option too.

Incidentally though he is pretty F-5 like in vehicle mode and that is likely what he's based on there is a whole bunch of European jets he also slightly resembles too.

It does appear the cabin opens though - which if a Titanmaster can sit in it - would be rather neat.


It's nice t see they are starting to find a good balance between the look of something and yet avoiding the undue complexity of ROTF toys (mostly). as toys that are a pain in the backside to Transform are no fun for most people - and fewer people seem to want a puzzle - I have enough of bad time putting up with that Trope from 3rd parties still.

Speaking of Thunderwing though - Hasbro's Astrotrain is also a pretty decent body for him too.

I think its due to his storm bringer design having those giant boosters in the back.

Hadn't even thought of that probably cos I try erase IDW Thunderwing from my mind (faaar too kibbly). But yes those booster thingies do look similar. I just doodled some very basic colour blotches on the Nitro pic to see where I'd like to paint Thunderwing-like details on. It won't be perfect but it can suffice. Anyways I'm gonna go play with voyager Megatron some more then i gotta go help with set stuff for the play I'm in (ugh it's a full weekend of rehearsals too... if only I was getting paid... ) I'll unsubscribe from here for now til cool new TLK toy news appears in the news page thingy so i won't get all them notifications.

HAVE FUN EVERYBODY!!!
