Thanks to notifications from both Transformnerd114 and Logan79 we have 6 (that's right, 6) new reviews to bring to your attention today. Titans Return has arrived full force, and while Wave 1 continues to rule the shelves, Wave 2 has started to make its way out slowly but surely. And so, YouTube review Chefatron has uploaded his reviews for the Wave 2 deluxes featuring Highbrow, Chromedome, Mindwipe, and Wolfwire and the wave 2 voyagers featuring Astrotrain and the highly anticipated Alpha Trion. Check out the videos below, and let us know what you think in the comments section!

I think Soundwave and Rumble are the only two from the wave that I am not getting

Having now looked at that review... Chromedome's leg transformation is VERY impressive. I don't have the Dead End mold - not yet, anyway - so I don't know if Dead End's is the same but I assume it's the same accordion thing as the Aerialbots and Offroad? In any case it's still really impressive how the legs transform like that yet still have the cockpit be that accessible. I really love having my Transformers be pilotable in vehicle mode; something about it just feels more... I don't know, authentic and believable to me. So it's definitely a really big selling point.

Speaking of pilotable vehicles....it's a pity Hasbro(or Takara) don't give us human Titanmaster sized versions of Arcee ect(sort of what they did in the episode of Almost Human).

I think that could be cool, yeah. Like even for creating silly mass situations from the cartoon where Galvatron rode in Cyclonus' cockpit, Octane was in Sandstorm's, Hoist was driving Huffer etc.

For those with Alpha Trion in hand, is there a way to fold the lion paws behind his torso and make it less boxy?

On the subject of Alpha Trion....is it me? or does anyone else notice the resemblance of his spaceship mode to Iron Gear Xabungle's spaceship mode :-?

No, not in the slightest, but it's a flat top, only so many ways you can make one of those - especially ones that also turn into a lion :HEADHURTS:

So I FINALLY found Crashbash! This is after making rounds on my way home from work and random walks for a solid two and a half weeks. I'd seen a peg with three left from wave 1 on it a week ago, but no Crashbash were left.

I gotta say, it was totally worth the wait. With ALL of the vehicle/vehicle titanmaster/minicon sets, they just fall flat; they don't feel like they do much, and the titanmasters don't really integrate in any kind of way that matters (you could replace the vehicle ones with a 2x2 lego brick and never know the difference. However, the beast mode ones are all spectacular so far. I spent most of the afternoon yesterday fawning over the newest addition to my shelf, and taking pictures aplenty. Oh, and the silly fanmode potential? THROUGH THE ROOF. I'll post some pictures later, but they're pretty grand.

Oh, and that smirky little face is great. :CON:

I really want soundwave for the sake of finally retiring my FoC soundwave off my Classics shelve and he's a cassette playe...in 2016. Rumble and all the other cassette/tablets(except rewind) I'm fighting the urge because I already have the United rumble Frenzy tanks and those are still the best reinterpretations of those guys.

I like my FoC Soundblaster, so I fear not getting the leader class one. Plus, the only cassette I don't have is Laserbeak, and I really want a good Ravage for the Lost Light shelf, otherwise I'm good

I'm getting Soundwave (along with Frenzy Blue Tape Guy Rumble) to use as discount Masterpieces since I can't afford the real ones.

My preferred collection of Soundwave and his tapes is... quickly getting VERY confusing.

Soundwave - FoC Voyager
Rumble - United/Adventure
Frenzy - United/Adventure
Laserbeak - FoC
Buzzsaw - FoC
Ravage - Titans Return/Device Label/Masterpiece/Universe (omg he is hard to decide on)
Overkill - Titans Return dinosaur mode
Wingthing - Titans Return Clobber dragon mdoe

And I don't even have a Ratbat!
Yeah, Wingthing seems a pretty weird choice, but... I think it works.
And as for Slugfest... well. If they're doing Grimlock and Swoop as Titan Masters, they're probably doing the other Dinobots, right? And if they're doing Snarl, they'll probably make Slugfest out of him. Hell, he's more likely than other to get a toy because of that redeco opportunity.

... jeez I need a Squawkbox.

The Titans return Ravege looks pretty solid even with those wings folded like they are. I'm still using the Universe Ravege that came with hound in 2008 with the G1 missiles attached.

TF-direct has deluxe wave 2 instock for $59.99 but not boxed. I ordered them, and once I saw they weren't in package I contacted asking how they got them. They said "we're direct" so now I'm a kinda worried I just bought figures that were stolen from the factory. Honestly I'm not sure what to think but the word "guilty" comes to mind :???:

Trends have shown Grimlock and Swoop to be the most famous, having been released the most times and sometimes together (Dinobots, Energon), so I wouldn't necessarily expect the rest to be released just for completion sake. SlugSlag and Snarl are pretty much equal, so they may get a chance, but poor SlogSludge. Hasbro is so prejudiced against Sauropods... :(

I'm sortof irked by the way he says 'takara will fix it' in at least 5 of those reviews. Even for weirdwilf where takara's paintwork is only marginally different...

I think sometimes as a fanbase we have a tendancy towards being really entitled.


I get a feeling about that Alpha trion figure that a heavy retool into razorclaw is in it's not so distant future. Everything seems to have a way it can sit into a configuration that looks a shitload like a predaking torso. The lion head on the chest, legs folded up to form thighs, a large waist skirt for the crotch plate, even the titan master cockpit can be shifted onto the top in prime position for a combiner head.

Just where the arm connectors would go is about the only thing I can't figure out, but then the chest has that whole mechanism in it for the springloaded automorph that could be gutted to accomodate more parts, sort of the reverse of how domey shares the dead end tooling but drops the combiner peg to accomodate the cockpit.

Dude, we are entitled to nothing. It is a choice for you to be an adult and buy this stuff. This isn't water or food we are entitled to none of this. Hasbro and Takara owe us nothing.

It also really confuses me when, like... I don't really see anything wrong with the colours at all that would need to be fixed? Am I colour blind or something because I literally can't see how they could be any 'better', unless 'better' translates to "Accurate to that one 1987 Japanese cartoon".

What irritated me was that he knocks the wolfwire head mold saying it looks nothing like the card art, and that 'hopefully TT will fix this', when:

A) we've seen the TT head and it won't look like the card art, and

B) the card art is from the Legends game that preceded the line by a couple of years

It'd be like saying the cw aerialbot's were trash because they don't look like their card art :roll:
