Transformers Titans Return Voyager Repacks Confirmed

I find it somewhat hilarious that the TR Optimus Prime Voyager and the TR Octone retool are selling together. Mold mates for the win I guess. XD

What would that mean for other classes though, how would that be handled and which repackaged figures would we be getting? Well, a lising on Entertainment Earth reveals that the Christmas restock for Voyagers will consist of a case of Titans Return Optimus Prime and Octone as well as Titans Return Megatron and Broadside. This is an easy way to have the most popular Transformers Character on the shelves around the Holiday shopping season.

There goes that unrealistic glimmer of hope that we might still get Apeface and Snapdragon to send off this line. Well, at least my wallet will be happy to recoup before PotP starts.

It's not like if they never sold CW megatron and CW Armada Megatron together..

Yay I might have a chance at actually getting Megatron now!

That's not really how that works...plus if they were going to make him then he wouldn't have been considered for the purposed Botcon 2017

Maybe they think it wouldnt sell as well as the most popular triple changers and the two faction leaders.

Plus, it actually would be extra money spent since (parts of) Titan Masters are gang-molded with (parts of) whoever they come with, in this case Skytread with his drone and Megatron/Blitzwing with Doomshot/Hazard. In other words, they can not be freely switched out at the same expense. TakaraTomy and FunPub may be willing to go that route, but not Hasbro.

Not to mention money spent on design and colour layouts. You still have to pay people to do those no matter how small a job -- a re-issue, no matter how little differences it might have from a possible redeco, will cost less.

The Original Blitzwing only had one face.

I don't mind if they make a small POTP one but a TR Blitzwing/Flywheels is something I do not object to at all. It would at least slightly complement the botcon toy (though the T30 one would have been a better match)

The idea of TR version is possibly a better match for a Battle Trap based on an as yet unmade Voyager Springer with some sort of implemented gimmick to him.

I don't really see an issue with them issuing a Flywheels in another giftset anyway or even using a TR mould or a mould variation in the main Voyager POTP line - I don't think all Voyagers need to be Secret Combiner Torso - they could just as easily have some other line gimmick implemented in them.. even something as simple as a bit of armour.

I don't even really need him to have a new face either -though the extra effort would be appreciated.

Size alone would make a Voyager Flywheel useful to me. But it being an upgrade to the platinum Blitzwing would be an added bonus too.

To add in traits from other universes. It wouldn't even be like T30 where the gimmick, arguably, actively harmed the toy. This would just be taking advantage of a gimmick that's already there for other reasons to give fans of Animated a very cool feature through the Titan Master class. I know it's the only thing that'd convince me to get Blitzwing.

I don't really see any reason to wait.
