I meant one to go with wave 1 Scourge. Could make a new mold for him no?

chuckdawg, we already GOT an updated Fracas. Back in 2008. Except it was called Nightstick and packaged with Cyclonus because Marvel Productions goofed when making The Rebirth.

I know. It'd be hilarious though. On the other hand, it's not like it'd be a hard thing to make oneself.
Why would you need one? All you'd need is the Universe "Nightstick" mold with Fracas' color arrangement.
It's Nightstick who needs a new mold, one in his actual design.

I think it would be nice to have a new Fracas AND Nightstick, actually, in the new style and aesthetic matching Takara's "Targetmaster" additions to the Legends line. The "Nightstick" from Universe 2008 Cyclonus was great at the time, but doesn't really fit in with this new generation of designs. Maybe Takara will release the pair of them as a set at the same price point of a legends class figure and a Titan Master.

Looking forward to some stock photos. While I know what to expect from Perceptor's deco, I'm curious to see the Titan Master. Still hoping it'd be Nijika. 
Already have the perfect Bumblebee but I like that the legend toy can carry a Titan Master or Spike. And if it's packed with the Cerebros head that would be great.

Now that you spoiled it, it's gonna be the Headmaster of Windblade.

Which is a missed opportunity in her case since Takara could have made the whole Windblade figure into Nijika herself, allowing the previous Windblade figure to remain as Windblade while the new one could have been turned into her sister Nijika.
And which would have also enabled Perceptor and Nijika to coexist as separate individuals.

Sadly, Windblade's Titan Master doesn't resemble Nijika either:Albatross250 wrote:Cyberpath wrote:Looking forward to some stock photos. While I know what to expect from Perceptor's deco, I'm curious to see the Titan Master. Still hoping it'd be Nijika.

Rumour: mode details about upcoming Legends figures:
If true -- no new head for Perceptor. :/

Man, I would've loved a target reticle head for Perceptor; but I should've known it wasn't happening 
Surprised at the new head for Octane. Isn't the one he has already in the Hasbro version accurate to all his appearances; original toy, cartoon and comics?

Courtesy of fellow user Cyberpath; we have some new details about some upcoming Takara Legends products according to Planet Iacon, specifically the changes from the Hasbro Titans Return versions of Bumblebee, Slugslinger, Perceptor and Octane.
Naturally all of them have new decos and as expected Slugslinger has a new-mold Targetmaster much like Misfire, Hot Rod, Doublecross and Kup; but of particular note are that the Headmaster for Octane and the Spike Headmaster that comes with Bumblebee are listed as new. Whether this just means new faceplates like with Legends Chromedome or completely new molds like with Legends Sixshot is currently unknown; but nevertheless, tell us what you think in the forums!

There's one on Shapeways but it requires painting it yourself.

Hmmm, maybe it means that he'll be packed with another Titan Master like the smaller figures have so far.

Sweeet, was wondering when this'd happen. This'll make Perceptor perfect
That might make sense -- though in that case, who would it be? I can't think of any significant human, nebulon or otherwise tiny partner of Octane in the cartoon unless they're making Sandstorm.

The head of Starscream's ghost? Or maybe Skuxxoid?

A word of advice: Don't cheap out on the material. Order in Frosted Ultra/Extreme Detail or Black High-Definition Acrylate if possible, White Strong and Flexible does not hold detail very well. And given it's a non-load-bearing detail piece, the increased strength of WSF is useless.

I can't be the only one assuming the Spike Titan Master is going to turn into Arcee's head, right? Were I not on mobile in between meetings I'd probably look at earlier replies and find this in a heartbeat, so it's OK to make fun of me if someone mentioned this like four posts ago

Shouldn't that be Daniel as Arcee's head? I think the supposition was Spike would turn into Cerebro's head so Japan could get the same Titan Master the US got with Fort Max. But, I do not recall seeing anything official for confirmation on this.
