Just went out to the local Walmart, Target, TRU and Wahlgreens. Nothing save for a solitary Stripes at Walmart. Everything else still has a very small section dedicated to combiner wars with Wheeljacks and Swindles shelfwarming and some old RiD stuff Pre-Fracture wave. Except for Wahlgreens. They only have AoE Power battler Strafes. I was really hoping to find at least a deluxe somewhere

I personally wish more reviewers would skip the "universal" articulation. Point out discrepancies like yes/no waist articulation and move on.

Back on topic: Do you guys think we'll get more Base-mode leaders (besides Soundwave)? I'd still love to see Omega Supreme (even if he's rumor/confirmed to be getting titan treatment later).

I do think that Sentinel (and Astrotrain) would have been done better justice @ leader class.

Well there's already been a teased Overlord at Botcon so there're on their way. if he's done right he could be one of the best leader class figures to come out in recent years. I nead me an Overlord.

And he'd go so well with Pipes too

Just like the deep space backdrop I'll put Overlord in next to Rewind

Overlord is going to be amazing I think. I just wonder how his alt-modes are going to be. I know he'll probably have some sort of base mode.

So what are the odds that we'll see Overlord in a couple days? Going off of the leaks Sixshot should be the leader released in wave 3 but maybe they'll have 2 leaders in 3 like the first wave.

@Kurona Well that's a rather dark sense of humor you've got there. In that case I better display Overlord impaling CW Ultra Magnus.
@SillySpringer I don't think the altmodes would be that difficult to pull off. But the base mode is what I'm curious about. If they go for a very G1 base mode, I wonder how they'll pull off the ramps? He should come with two Titanmasters though, one with an IDW look for the head and the other a more classic look, with the Titanmaster bodies colored like his G1 powermasters.

I actually shivered when I read this post. While messing around with Rewind. While thinking about how Leader Overlord would go. and Wishing he had the head he does in Last Stand/MTMTE.

When/if I get Overlord, I'll be keeping him FAR away from Chromedome and Rewind (who will have a tiny shelf all to themselves )

...oh wait, or maybe I could have Rewind standing triumphantly on Overlord's corpse will Chromedome looks on...

Finally. someone around here has a lighter sense of humor!!

Many people don't like the fact that a lot of non-headmaster characters are now Headmasters; but the best part about it is that Overlord being a headmaster will mean you can have third party DJD figures chainsaw his head off.

I approve.

Someone asked for a size comparison for titanmasters and kreo figs a few pages back.







Kreo fusion cannons fit Titanmasters!





Bonus picture as my tax for being so late to fulfill the request

Thanks for the pics Mr skram the keon heads fit rather nicely, though they are just resting there aren't they?

As for overlord, while posing him doing some IDW inspired destruction is awfully tempting; I would get him to face down pmop, reliving Masterforce.

Takara overlord should be awesome...

Yeah, I gently placed Kreo Galv's head on Scourge's body. Though I wonder if there's a Kreo piece you could plug in the head to make it actually stick in the titanmaster port.

There's always shapeways if you couldn't find a piece.

yesterday was a very very big haul day. I got the 3 RID TRU Exclusives, TAV33 Supreme Prime, Prime Breakdown (FINALLY!!!!!!!!) and.... TR Blaster. Believe it or not, of all those figures, TR Blaster is the one I liked least. He's not bad but there was just nothing there for me to wow at. He is basically G1 Blaster with better articulation. I know fans want that but it ends up being anticlimactic when you know exactly what to expect from a figure and get exactly that. Its like buying a redeco fo a toy you have, you wont discover it the same way. MP Soundwave was a big innovation over the G1 design, there was some cool stuff going on with that toy. But Blaster is not much of a surprise when you handled the G1 toy, or other boombox/casette player toys. The base mode is new, but I dont have other TR figures to play around in it yet. But I have felt this way ever since i first saw the leaked images. I thought I was looking at an older 80s toy that was unreleased. Thats pretty much what he is but with better articulation.

Oh and can someone post a pic of how to position the titanmaster in the black accessory to store it in the chest?

(excuse the bad lighting)

THANKS N!

The Transformers Youtube Channel has uploaded another Designer Desk video for us, and today it features Fortress Maximus! Design Managers John Warden and Ed Masiello share their thoughts on Fortress Maximus and his many features as well as some of their thoughts on designing him and how he is one of the largest projects they have ever worked on. Check out the video below, and comment down in the Energon Pub below!

Thanks to Blacklai's Toybase we have some new in-hand images of the Hasbro Asia Limited Edition Release of the Master Sword! These new images show off the sword in great detail, how it splits in half, the translucent blade, and the blade in multiple figures hands. Check out some of the mirrored images below.

Eh. I'll stick with Perfect Effect.

So the sword is, finger lickin' good?
