Fellow Seibertronian Rodimus Convoy13 is the first of our community to report finding Titans Return Ramhorn in the US. He found his at Meijers. Please note that he is the only new mold in this wave.

If you find Ramhorn and wish to share it with the community, please go to our sightings section and sightings forum.

Also, if anyone wants to make the front page, we are still looking for the Wave 5 Leader, Overlord, in the US.
I found 2 at the Meijer in Mason, MI.

I really like the gold color on Ramhorn, here is to hoping that it's well made so it won't flake off or get GPS.

It's paint I think, it's the same shade of gold as the eyes. As for head comparisons, look up Legends Clouder, who's a redeco of Ramhorn.

Yes, it is paint.

All websites with the leaks were requested by Hasbro to take down all of the images. I don't blame them, as it shows most if not all product for 2018 for both Power of the Primes and an unknown movie line.

Though, in the case of this site, several pages upon pages of posts discussing the leaked products were deleted in addition to the news posts.

Good thing I logged the names and product codes...

Anyway, Titan Return Ramhorn! If I spot him I'll be so mad, that would mean Shuffler has been passed over in my area. Either that, or I just wasn't quick enough as I spotted his wavemate Repugnus at my local TRU... I'll still get Ramhorn tho.

I can confirm that this happened on other sites as well. I dont think its because the conversation itself as an issue, more that it was a simple and efficient way to make sure none of the pics were left due to all the reposting. It would have taken a long time to comb through everything on multiple threads.

Keep in mind though that they don't connect the same way as Sky Shadow, the jet's chest-flaps just very loosely hold onto the tank. He can still do the combined super-jet mode of his original toy though, as seen in this picture from the Transformers Subreddit.

So, just to set the record straight, there were leaks and due to what happened after, I am sure they are true. Next year's titan is predaking and he will be 5 big bots like Devastator.

And while some fans could probably still find those images online, all that I ask is that we dont repost them here.

But yeah, Predaking's coming :D


Can you guys post the actual e-mail request by hasbro on here?

Im sure everyone would love to see the actual verbiage used by hasbro. Just removing something without an official explanation in writing why its being removed is poor journalism. Its like "we were told something but we cant tell you what we were told". And im not trying to beat you guys up because TFW2005 did the exact same thing.

Hasbro f**ked up and its not the the fan sites job to play damage control. The response from hasbro should have been just as big a story as the leaks themselves.

Exactly what did hasbro refer to the images as? Did they use the term "leaks" or maybe "unauthorized images" or any other verbiage that signals they take ownership of the images? Lets see that e-mail.... :-?

Posting massive news stories about a company politely asking for internal documents/images to be redacted... That's a quick way for the company to stop playing nice with that news site. This happens a lot.

If you read any auto journalism sites, you would see that even more. Website XYZ posts a big story about leaked footage of new car by company ABC. Company ABC asks them to take things down. Website XYZ refuses or makes a huge fuss in another article about. Company ABC blacklists Website XYZ from first drive and press events.

For what it is worth, the above did happen. It happened a LOT to Jalopnik among other sites. Most car companies refused to show them anything because of it.

As the old adage goes: Don't crap where you eat.

Added note, in between me not taking certain users seriously: that's exactly what was asked for - a favour. And everything was handled by the site owner, staff only posted the news when it first broke. All removal and communication and moving things around was Seibertron, dealing with his business as he saw fit.

Thanks for understanding! :D

Maybe just confusing it and the usb optimus prime charger?

I checked again and the press releases are saying 30 for "early access" of arcee. Cannot find the article that said 25 anymore. But definitely not 50.

Head socket works better when you flip the Titan Master's face forwards (on my copy, anyway). Be careful with the rotor blades, and you might have to heat the plastic and bend them to get them straight. It can be tough to get him to look right in a normal standing pose, but once you get him in an action pose he's great. Copter mode is awesome too.

Overlord scream Diatlus to me - heck add in the POTP gimic and a drill nose and he'd be a pretty decent approximation - ideally something to do in 2019/2020 once POTP is mostly done and they are doing a year of more or less straight Generations stuff - if they decide to take pity on Micromaster fans around then - that would be the time for Diatlus and Metro Titan perhaps if they have some Micromasters around to make them theme specific.

He's certainly close enough to Diatlus to not bother making a new mould. - but I guess he also might be something they'd consider making out of the rumoured POTP StarSaber too.

Black Shadow/Sky Shadow would make for a better Dai Atlas than Overlord. They could even reuse Black/Sky Shadow's helmet, even.

I don't think anyone answered this question for you, Kurona. I will see about taking some pics tomorrow, if I can. But, I can tell you, now that I have both Ramhorn and Shuffler, that the TM bodies are identical. They have different faces on the back, and the tiny TM heads are different, and different colors, of course. Shuffler has purple arms and head on a grey body. Ramhorn is all one color. But the body molding is identical.

I don't think anyone answered this question for you, Kurona. I will see about taking some pics tomorrow, if I can. But, I can tell you, now that I have both Ramhorn and Shuffler, that the TM bodies are identical. They have different faces on the back, and the tiny TM heads are different, and different colors, of course. Shuffler has purple arms and head on a grey body. Ramhorn is all one color. But the body molding is identical.

He doesn't. He has a different head.

I for one love helicopter dropships like the Osprey and such, so I was excited most about Highbrow

The "Problem" if you will is the same "Problem" most G1 Redux figures have. Everyone is excited about the nostalgia of their favorite figures with posability, but then when they get them they feel underwhelmed by the "Puzzle" factor. These toys are in their way "puzzles". With Highbrow, the only part that takes really any thought is jiggering his legs. Otherwise, its just flip the cockpit back, plug his head in, and spread the arms. He does a good job of hiding his extremeties, bit the wow of transforming him isnt there. If that makes any sense.

Now me, asmuch as I love him, part of me wishes we'd gotten a more updated look. Something closer to 2007's Incinerator Osprey. I know thats a figure no one cares about, but a modern Osprey esque Highbrow woukd make me happy.

I would have liked a hand upgrade for incinerator to add the mittens Springer has and move the rotors to the sides when in robot mode - then he'd have been really great by adding such a simple pivot.

In general though I don't like toys so over-complex they become a chore to Transform.

This is how I feel too about the general downward shift in complexity starting with Dark of the Moon. I like being able to play with my figures several at a time, converting large groups from one mode to the other, rather than struggling with one or two figures for 10 to 20 minutes each, trying desperately to remember some little step or trick to get something to align correctly (I don't like having to use the instructions. It takes away from the "challenge" of the puzzle.) I do still appreciate harder transformation schemes, though, but I get that through Masterpiece figures instead of the mass retail stuff in the Generations line.

For me, Titan Return does the job just right. Not too simple to be stupid, but not too hard to remove all the fun. They are JUST RIGHT.

I threw out a lot of my transformers at my local geek store to buy some sweet G1. Most of those that I got rid of were either because I was bored with them or I found them just NOT fun. I got rid of a few ROTF figures and ALL of my Alternity. I want to have FUN with my figures.

Transforming G1 figures is so simple, but oh so FUN and SATISFYING. I really LOVE the feel of the original Headmasters. So much that this Friday, I'm getting myself G1 Mindwipe and Hardhead. Then I'll display them among their TR updates like the rest of them:

Still, I did kept all the ROTF constructicons. Those are overly complicated, sure, but I DO need a challenge from times to times. Beside, those bot modes are WEIRD and worth keeping.
