Look closely.

How is anyone else supporting the rear towers in the fan mode? Mine droop to the side, since there's nothing under the robot thighs to support the weight. I had to mod some stands out of caster cups which look kinda crappy.

Mind you, we've been all Scorponoked & Omega Supremed out of late...at least where third party is concerned.....with Iron Factory Lord Scorpion, Master Made Destruction Scorpion, Master Made Apollo & Terminus Giganticus(yes! I know that one's not out yet)

So.....it'll be interesting to see what they do with Titans Return Scorpy & Omega

One other character which has been mentioned on here before that some would've liked to have seen as part of the Titans Return line is Unicron! + he would've had headmaster gimmick coz he basically did end up as a floating head orbiting Cybertron(+ on the 3p side of things...there was that recent release of a giant Unicron head)

But at least they all connect here.

Love the pics btw...now if I can ever find a Sondwave, or Sixshot.... Oh and that pic of all the Original TF Bases together I think is my new favorite pic ever. I love it, I am dead serious, most think its silly or ridiculous, but I think its awesome, I'd love to have all that in my home right now...never going to happen...but still .

That pics sums up a dream come true, no doubt!

There was that re-release of Unicron (Platinum!), but he's still too short. :p

That config doesn't look too bad at all. Looks much more like a habitable base than most. The hands are still far too noticable but I don't see any way of hiding them.

Whatever happened to Amazon selling TFs at the suggested MSRP? They have Gnaw available but for $15.99! (Amazon is the seller, not a 3P)

Figures that have higher demand take a long longer, if ever, to come down. Similar thing happened when I got thrilling 30 Brainstorm 3 years ago: it took forever waiting for him to get to $28 to buy, and that was still a little high

I wonder if anyone is going to get around to 3D-printing some kind of fold-back cover or transforming accessory for these?

I could have sworn there was a 3rd party developing some additional accessories (actual body parts, not just the master Sword or Guns) for TR Fort Max, I just cant seem to locate a link to it...

I'm terrible at explaining stuff in words, can someone help him out please?

Those roadway sets they make for RPM and the like - how to they fit up to the bases be they Titans Returns of G1 type ?

I suppose the good thing is that many of the new bases are new bases - in that they can complement the 1980's and 1990's one as there wasn't a Base mode Soundwave or Blaster 30 odd years ago.

What's up with the Wave 2 Deluxes? The shelves everyplace where my minions look are choked with Highbrow and Chromedome figures. But Mindwipe and Wolfwire are nowhere to be found. Is it just me, or is everybody else having trouble finding these two? I note they are priced really high on Amazon and other online outlets, whereas Highbrow and Chromedome are dirt cheap.

Did Hasbro just not make many of these, or did they send them all someplace else, and double-pack the autobot deluxes?

The case distribution for waves 1 and 2 is balanced out, 2 of each figure, so we could chalk this up on desirability (evil animal robots are cool, look at RiD!) and scalping. On that note, in Wave 3 Breakaway is shortpacked, 1 a case with an extra Rodimus filling in the empty spot.

Revision wave that replaced the s with the wave 1 s

Thats nuts. But for some reason, its something i have found typical of amazon. They pull that **** in Canada too, usually hving the higest price point. I think its due to them working on an algorythm that constantly rechecks the pricedepending on stock and how long it has been out. So you can end up with ridiculously low prices or ridiculously high prices since its just an algorythm behind it all.

I got bad news Death, it means your minions have cofirmed that the revision wave has hit the US.



Notice the two absent from these? And a revisionw ave means that the previous wave is exhausted (at lest locally). Did you havea chance to pick the other two up previously though?

patience...I did not see them for the longest time, but I've seen them quite a bit recently. At my local TRU just yesterday, though at TRU you are going to pay much more for deluxes. I saw most wave 2's in Wal-Marts prior to the holiday, now since then it has mostly been wave 3's. Conversely I have not seen any deluxes in any Targets recently.

That looks kind of familiar, especially the hip-guns. But I thought the one I saw had the double-folding-ramps for the arms that came all the way down to ground level. I could be mistaken however.

That toads the wet sprocket - and it does indeed look like the assortment that was bogging down the shelves at a nearby walmart around Christmas. Hopefully the Decepticon deluxes will turn up at some point, but for the moment, there are none to be had.....

if you need em death, I can get them to you for the same $20 price TRU would charge shipped (but removed from packaging to not cost too much on shipping, since shipping from Canada is murder).

So I got TR Legends Bee and Gnaw today. They are both very cute and quite small. and for some reason, Bee feels far more involved than Gnaw even though Gnaw is said to have more steps. Has anyone found how to fit a small Titan Master in bee? I find it pretty pointless to do so since we cant even see one is inside. and opening the car is quite a hassel.

I just wish they'd make a Leader with a base mode rivalling the best one in the franchise's history; Star Convoy.



Don't you want a Base Mode where half of it is just Optimus Prime's stomach and arms with his huge judging head looking down at you?
