Hasbro Press Event: Titans Return Megatron, Gnaw, Brainstorm, Bumblebee and More!! #HasbroSDCC

Holy cows, some awesome stuff here!

Huh, thought they'd show off the other Wave 3 voyagers and then I could see if Optimus really was a Tall Tankor. Shame.

Oh well, Megatron is still too amazing for this world!

Need a few of these guys to display with MP Grimlock and have TR Wheelie riding on Grimmy's shoulders.

Oh I'm gonna be getting a dozen sharkticons

I'll get the Blitzwing repaint of Megatron, assuming the line lasts long enough for one to be made.

Also, I looked at Bumblebee again -




I thought he looked a bit familiar but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

Bumblebee has a TM cockpit like Wheelie, no?

The Blitzwing pretool is practically screaming "I EXIST!"

It looks that way to me.

If there is, I'm having trouble finding where on earth there's space.

All good stuff. The arms on Bumblebee look a bit weird, but overall he's well-done. I probably won't buy Megatron because I'm happy with my Combiner Wars Megatron, but looking at the vehicle modes I think the mould would make a fantastic Blitzwing, and I hope that happens one day. Has there been any confirmation about Brainstorm being released internationally? (I remember hearing he'll be exclusive to Walgreens in the US).

In the chest. There's hinges. The legs arnt like the classics one. The legs are all in the front. His chest allow to accommodate a Titan master

Oh okay, cool

Would some of the reprolabels upgrade stickers for generations metroplex work on titans return fortress maximus?

No no no no no no! Why is Weirdwolf's mouth now RED?? It was pink before and that was the best part about him. How could they change that? Biggest reason he was better for the Hasbro version despite the lacking head. Crap!

Transformers123 wrote:Would some of the reprolabels upgrade stickers for generations metroplex work on titans return fortress maximus?

Maybe only a couple. For the ramps and legs and and forearms. The rest is all new so don't spend money on them if you don't need to. Reprolables will be making a set for him don't worry

Bit underwhelmed which is not my usual. Gnaw is a must have tho I'd have liked a larger version, sharks icon legions become more affordable. Bumblebee is a defitnite improvement on the one currently adorning my metroplex.

Megatron... Seems superfluous as I'm perfectly happy with the recent leader class, in spite of a few shortcomings. He will definitely make a better blitzing than the recentish voyager. Brainstorm... Nope still not sold. The voyager was better.

Was hoping on seeing triggehappy etc oh well... And one can only hope they announce a devastator style predaking

Awwwwwww, look at the widdle baby Sharkticon.

I'm gonna buy at least three. If Hasbro is smart it'll be a very common figure, one that you can easily troop build with.

Come on, this is Hasbro we're talking about. The case will likely be mostly Bumblebees.

so megatron is blitzwing. neat

Titans Return is going to be a pretty expensive line for me, so many good ones. Especially excited for Astronaut and most of the Deluxes. I might skip Soundwave & Co, on account of the mold being a better fit for Blaster. Plus I already have Music Label Soundwave and the Takara Legends Rumble & Frenzy on my Generations shelf.

frogbat wrote: And one can only hope they announce a devastator style predaking

Well, if there's random, pipe-dream hope for Liokaiser this late in the game, (Which, for some reason, there was) there might be hope for Predaking.

I'm hoping that this isn't a new Blitzwing, but rather a triple changing version of Flywheels. I really want a full sized Flywheels

It's not like you're only going to see any of them once.

Everyone keeps saying blitzwing from Megatron and I'm just sitting here hoping they do Flywheels instead.

I mean, Liokaiser is made up completely of vehicles that already more or less have CW molds (and for some reason, in this case, a substituted Sky Lynx), so it's really not that hard to make a Liokaiser with... certain liberties.

There are zero CW molds that fit Predaking at all. It'd be downright impossible unless you want Razorclaw to be a truck.

Weeeell... even if that didn't happen, you could always take to a bit of customizing, painting Megatron in Flywheels colours and putting the Flywheels head on him

Dammit, Hasbro... we, like... JUST got a new Megatron... now I need to buy another one!
Also, new Gnaw? I mean... who saw that coming?

EDIT:

Is Megatron a triple changer? Well...Awesome! I'm looking forward to having this incarnation on my shelf.

I said it a year ago on here and I'll say it again. We were never going to get Predaking or Abominus because there's no remold value in them. You're absolutely right with Liokaizer, he's made of vehicles and the molds chosen made sense and looks pretty good. For a while I had the thought that maybe Takara would possibly do Predaking since they made groove and Blastoff but even now Takara is just doing repaints to fill the line out. After Sky Master is whatever they're doing with Victorion and that will more than likely be the end of Transformers Unite. Who knows maybe they will do Liokaiser too but I doubt it.

An updated version of Lione. This is a thing happening.

We live in amazing time.

They're definitely going to do the beast combiners after titans return

We don't know why we're getting after Titans Returns. Just like we didn't know Combiners were happening after Dark Cybertron and headmasters after Combiner Wars.

BUMBLEBEE! YES! YES! YES!


And Gnaw is good too. I guess.

You can easily get some retool value out of those guys though. Headstrong and Tantrum practically of each other - in a similar vein to Air Raid and Skydive - Divebomb into a Cutthroat, Razorclaw into a Leo Prime... there's lots you can do. It just wouldn't work in CW because, of course, the first and most popular combiners were Vehicles so that's what they had to focus on. If there was a second Combiner Wars line, well, the G1 Combiners left are all Beasts; that makes things a hell of a lot easier.

Well Well Well... my guy has finally seen the light of day in a brand new bod!

I know I don't say this very often, but that Gnaw makes me say- Well done, Hasbro

They all but confirmed that they were doing them at botcon. Someone asked why they didn't include them in combiner wars and they said they wanted to take the time to do them right and then they threw it back at the fans and asked if we would like to see more combiners after titans return.

SIXSHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!
Now that looks incredible! Oh man, we haven't seen any of his other modes and he looks so good already...! Are they going to officially reveal him, Fangry, Laser Prime and Triggerhappy later? I don't know how SDCC works sorry I'm just so excitedddddddddd

Like! Retweeted.

Please do not post pictures from other Transformers coverage of SDCC. We have our own galleries here on Seibertron.com. It would be great if you guys would use our photos instead, unless there is something we completely missed. In that case, please contact me so that I can get our own coverage of whatever it was we missed. Thanks.

oooh i dont know about that megatron.

i was looking forward to him after i saw the youtube vid of him triggerhappy doublecross and co came out a while back but the finished product just doesnt look great to me.

the insistance of making him a triple changer seems to have hurt the figure to me. even though it makes sense to essentially give us to two modes he's got since he couldnt be a gun anymore.



i agree wit those that it screams blitzwing/flywheels.

and with us already getting a flywheels head my money is on him getting the remold treatment first before they pump out a blitzwing one.

maybe itll look better in hand, till then i think i may just stick with the CW megs.

on an aside i hope this means we get a proper body for grimlock down the road to stick clobber in. failing that a retool of trypticon for him might be fun !

Sorry chief. I just didn't see the back of the Megs box in the gallery.

They also said years ago they were looking for ways to get the final animated figures out in the market. Yup didn't happen. Difference between that is those toys were made and god knows where those toys are now. Just because someone at botcon said they'd like to make beast combines doesn't set it's set in stone. A lot of stuff gets said at panels but it doesn't mean it will be a reality

Randomhero wrote:I said it a year ago on here and I'll say it again. We were never going to get Predaking or Abominus because there's no remold value in them.

We will get Abominus and Predaking at some point. Hasbro is well aware of the fan demand for them, particularly Predaking, which they have discussed in their interview with me at NYCC 2016. There are plenty of remold opportunities if you think about it. Couldn't Wolfwire be remolded into a combiner wars compatible Predacon Rampage? CHEETOR?!?! Blot into Skalor? What about Divebomb into Swoop? Or even better, Seacon Seawing? Or how about Cutthroat? Headstrong into Slag/Slug? RHINOX!?!? Lots of opportunities. Just have to get creative.
