Transformers: Titans Return Alpha Trion Black-and-White Product Shot Showing toy robot mode

Frankly, I'm liking Alpha Trion's new look less and less with each new picture. The helmet is particularly bewildering.

I just want to see the darned thing as a colored toy with both alt modes now

Not mine, but thought it was funny:

I don't like how little red there is on laserbeak. He's too black. It's like, how much more black can he be? And the answer is none. None more black.

Finally! Not a fan of those hands though, I hate open hands.

I didn't realize people were still arguing about Rumble and Frenzy...

It's going to be one of those eternal arguments, over which source material do you base rumble and frenzy off in terms of colours. I could see wars being waged for less

As for the new A3 pics, ice seen all I need to see of the bot mode, I want to see the beast mode

You and me both! I have been waiting for pics of alt mode, they are just holding out on us!

That's some lioncloth that Trion's got! mind you....it's certainly a BIG character

They should use the Rumble/Rewind mold for Grand Slam. That guy needs a decent toy.

The could use the upcoming Stripes mold for Raindance.

Alpha Trion looks decent. Never been that into the character but the robot form looks somewhat majestic.


Soundwave's minions look bloody awful. I don't get how 30 year old Laserbeak has a far better bird form than one made that recently. At least the original one looks like it could glide. This one looks barely more aerodynamic than the boring brick it turns into. Booster X10 was a far better attempt at this sorta design in both his modes and he came out nearly a decade ago.

To my knowledge, nowhere. Not publicly anyway.

How'd you see it? You got insider connections or something?

How about we dont pester the guy. Obviously, he has connections we dont, must we know more? I mean its not like he's at the liberty of showing us the pics. Lets just be glad we have another person like Chainclaw who is willing to answer some of our questions to tide us over the eventual reveal.

I didn't know he had connections. He sounded like pics had been seen here before, which confused me, so I asked out of curiosity. Nothing more.

Thats not true, he answered that the picutres werent public, so right there its where it stops. there was no need for you to further ask what his connection is once he said the image had not been found elsewhere, that was the pestering.

I don't want to know what his connections are. That he has any is enough clarification for my confusion. All is clear and understood now.

My bad fellas. I've been having a hard time logging onto the site as of late.

Yes, I have been fortunate enough to see a lot of the new stuff that's coming out. I'm hardly the only one, but I do appreciate what has been shared with me.

If anyone is going to Botcon we will talk about it over a beer or two (or 12. or when they close the bar)

But to be fair, boosterx10 won't work with the new soundwave neither will any of the old minion releases

Frenzy is RED, Rumble is BLUE!

RIRFIB FOREVER!
But on a more important note, what's with alpha trions horns? They're cool, but odd.

That's what I thought, I'm not sure, they do seem a tad exaggerated

Nothing wrong with that

I do like the idea that this could be like his 'regal battle armor', so, an exaggerated helmet design would seem befitting

I like the helmet horns. they add a certain new level of Majesty to his robot mode and it looks cool with his overall look. although... I am feeling BW Silverbolt and Tigerhawk pretty strong with this one... or is it just me?

I definetly got the Tigerhawk vibe when I first saw him. Not so much Alpha Trion, though. I'm not trying to be a geewunner, but this guy just seems too beefy for the character. I don't know. Maybe after all these years of writing in his journal, he decided to call it quits and hit up the gym.

Considering Tigerhawk is one of my favorites from Beast Wars, I don't mind A3 looking like that

I was also getting a Tigerhawk vibe from Alpha Trion but mixed with Beast Wars II Galvatron along with a little bit of AoE Grimlock. Like it's Galvatron's legs, Tigerhawk's torso and cod piece and Grimlock's shoulder pads. I can't wait to see more of Alpha Trion. I'd also love a new Tigerhawk figure.

I also like Laserbeak as black and red instead of red and black. Although, I think that he should've had more silver somehow. Maybe a silver screen sticker instead of the black one used. That would've put silver on the wings and the body which might have made it look more like a traditional Laserbeak.

These "casettes" arent very inspiring. I will get Rewind for sure and Eject if they make a redeco, since I do plan on getting Blaster. I dont need Rumble and Frenzy since I will simply be sticking to the previous scout tank molds. Like that the decepticon and autobots wont share the same mold as was the case in G1.

Alpha Trion is a sure buy, he sounds super cool. I dont think those horns are part of a helmet though, I think they are some background kibble that ends up being there when seen at that angle.

And while I am totally getting a tigerhawk vibe, I hope that just remains a nice homage rather than an indication that this mold will be used for Tigerhawk, which wouldnt make much sense.

I can confirm they are part of the helmet.

So like with Galvatron, he has a helmet too? Ok.

That makes sense, right? Don't all the voyager triple changers have helmets?

Well, Sentinel appears not to have a helmet. Some of them may, some may not I think

I dont know, Sentinel and Astrotrain dont. But they have these collars on the side

They all have some sort of head related gimmick to the Voyagers. Astrotrain and Sentinel have the side collars around the head, Megatron has a collar type and Prime has a helmet. (from what I can see anyways.)

While I do agree that this looks awesome, I'm not really sure that it works as Alpha Trion...

The official Transformers Facebook page has uploaded a new video advertising the new Titans Return line which they still claim will come out in fall 2016 (note: this is the date for predicted saturation, not when they will first be released).

While nothing new is revealed, this is actually our first chance to see the finished look of all the figures since so far we were only shown digital renders and painted models. Galvatron, for instance, is no longer dark purple but instead more of a fushia grape flavour colour while the headmaster is not painted silver anymore. This video gives us a very good look at the new play value which is the selling point of this series. It also further confirms that any shot of Fort Max' base mode seen so far is accurate and not a mistransformation.

You can see the video by clicking on the picture below, enjoy!

Interesting new color choices.... Though the stuff does look really cool and I am very excited for the line. I love headmasters

I am really surprised the galvatron head is unpainted. But yes, I do still look forward to them.

Yeah, that image sort of confused me. IDK, I was just not expecting that. Even so, Headmasters! And I am excited for the baseformers too. Blaster and Fort Max for sure, Prime maybe. I'm still not completely sure, and considering there is that rumor of another voyager prime, I'm just not sure

People thought Terrorsaur's face was creepy, but that purple on Galvatron...almost as bad as yellow.

Well that was a surprising well made video. Did a good job of getting me hyped for TR. Hasbro has been stepping up their media presence lately. With and instagram and snapchat account, before you know it their promotional and instruction images will be correctly transformed

Did you notice any mistransformations in the video? They really do look like they are stepping up their game.

Not a one that jumped out at me. It was all very quick, but I full screened it and pressed pause a lot. I'm considering trying to catch some screen shots, but not sure it's worth my trouble.

Lighting and cuts were nice, good job Hasbro, me likey

I'm 98% certain of no mistransformations. All seems good!

Is this rekindling some excitement for this line?

I already didn't like Galvatron having the Headmaster gimmick, but that purple and unpainted head make him look even worse to me now.

Galvatron is pink? This is stupid. I hope the video is wrong.

No, he's fushia grape

Galvatron is getting his G2 on. Must be intended to go with Menasor

I think this was cool, especially how they emphasized Fort Max at the end. I may have to go back and watch it almost frame by frame to see if there are answers to some of my earlier questions...

Maybe a little; the lighting made everything look very lovely.

Seeing as the official image and the figure that's been shown in hand at conventions is different I think it's safe to say that the videos colors are wrong.

But none of those were of the finished figure in plastic form. They were either painted or digital. We have yet to actually have an official image of galvatron that isn't a computer generated one. If you have one, please post it.

Also, here's another fun screenshot.

Man, Optimus may have been hitting the 'roids a little too hard
