Transformers Titans Return - The Power of the Titan Masters Booklet Available Online

That is a very cool comic! I like reading the bios and the art is very cool.

I agree with those who want a Rodimus Prime. There aren't enough versions of Rodimus Prime, and plenty of Hot Rod- it seems that way to me anyway.

That booklet was really stupid. Also, why is Terri-bull/Horri-bull called Rot-Gut and why is Teslor listed as a Deception?

Aplha Trion and Sovereign each have the stats of a fully loaded Fort Max. That means when Trion has his head screwed on that he's twice as powerful as Max.


I guess this is just Transformers comics-lite for kids or something? It's just so weird.

Okay okay, one second here. I'm having toruble actually understanding how headmasters work...

Hardhead = One bot when in tank form or bot form, without his head

Furos = Another bot, who's not Hardhead

I always thought that the smaller Headmasters were just the main bot in a smaller form, separated from the body, not a whole different entity. I would guess their names being different was just a way to address them when in that form...

The headmasters being the main bot in a smaller form was true in Japanese fiction, yes. But the being a different entity thing has always been a thing in American fiction since back when Headmasters were introduced in 1987. It does make a little more sense here since it's giving an actual reason for why the larger bots would have headmasters (super-powers given like healing, invisibility, super speed etc), but back in 1987 it... didn't make much sense. They tried to finagle around it by saying the smaller headmasters could provide different insights or whatever but it was really hamhanded. I'm glad it makes more sense here.

The biggest problem with their fiction here is that the main bot is headless. It'd make more sense if there was a default non TM head included. I just ignore that TM nonsense and go with the smaller bot is the main bot and the bigger body is an extension of that.

Fun toys though.

Well... I think I'll just go on with my own head-canon... It makes more sense for me. I imagine the concept in action in many scenarios. For example, maybe a bot who was not a headmaster got injured in battle and in order to avoid being lost in case the body ceased function, they were turned into headmasters and their bodies were repaired separately. That way the conciousness isn't lost.

I was looking at the signature at the bottom of the Fortress Maximus page (near Rewind's arm at the bottom right) and it looks to me like at least that illustration was done by Emiliano Santalucia based on comparison with another of his autographs I've seen online.

All of the illustrations are by Santalucia. I found out after I posted the news, will go back and edit.
