New Galleries: Titans Return Voyager Astrotrain with Darkmoon

Am I the only one who just realized that he more grey than white?

He's not white at all. He should be gray. The Takara "NASA" version was white and black instead of gray and purple, as were the subsequent reissues, and the Classics Astrotrain. The Henkei, e-Hobby, Generations, and G1 prototype versions of Astrotrain sported the darker gray (instead of light gray) and purple.

And for those of you following the comics, I updated Alpha Trion's gallery per the request of some of the Seibertron.com staff:

I didn't think he was white.

I really look forward to Astrotrain. The whole of wave 2 is a gold mine for me

Since the upcoming TR Megatron is my favourite figure of him (in terms of looks) so far I was going to use him as my classics Megatron. This did create a dilemma for me though since TR Blitzwing is, obviously, going to be a slight retool of him and hence they'd look too alike next to each other.

Soooo I was considering Thrilling 30 Blitzwing instead but I was swithering on it due to the bad things I'd heard and wasn't sure on how he looks. But seeing him here next to Astrotrain really sells it for me; they look so good with each other and I think I'm all on board now

As an owner of said Blitzwing, it is a good figure. Yes it has its flaws, but I like it and it will be my Blitzwing.

If you follow the instructions you can find online to fix Blitzwing, he holds together amazingly well. I made the fixes to him when I first got him and have never had a problem with him since.

I've heard differing things about the fixes; some people get em to work perfectly, for others it doesn't work out at all. In any case if it's just used for display purposes it shouldn't be too bad.

Yeah, he's not one I fiddle with a lot, and I am nervous about making modifications, so I really never have save for some sharpie on AoE figures

Those purple panels near the front and back of the train mode should be flipped down. They have sculpted train wheels on them.

Indeed, I was going to point this out too. The galleries look so awesome, and I know they are a lot of work, so I didn't know how to gently suggest this. (Must be either my Minnesota nice or Catholic guilt coming out... )

[edit] Looks like it was missed on Sentinel too.


One of the reasons I wanted the SDCC version was the painted gold (yellow) on all sets of wheels...

OOps! Thanks for letting me know.

Wish someone had said that about Sentinel Prime last month. That's alright, I'll get it right on the SDCC version hopefully!


Transformers Titans Return Sentinel Prime Gallery

I had not noticed it then since I only aquired the figure after the galleries were up.

Great gallery as always!

Also I held off on thrilling 30 Blitzwing because of the issues with him and being selective also. Since stopping my Jurassic Park collecting as the JW line was poor quality I might try to get Blitz and this new Astrotrain. Definitely liking the photos with them together.

Astrotrain's stand alone train mode pics have been fixed. I left the comparison mode pics as were. In order to see the new pics, you might have to force a refresh in your browser.

And per Hellscream's request, pics of Astrotrain with Apeface's head have been added, which can be viewed toward the end of the gallery by clicking on the image below.

And this just goes to show how much Ryan rocks!!

Oh wow Apeface looks gorgeous on Astrotrain. I'm also getting the Meagtron version of the mold and hopefully at some point getting the Thrilling 30 Blitzwing. That's my plan anyway.

How does Clobber look on Astrotrain?


I'm thinking of doing a digibash by changing the purple on Astro to Grimlock yellow/gold.

Kind of amazed to see so many people also going with my thrilling 30 Blitzwing plan lmao. You made him look really good in this Seibs

Thanks!

I really like Generations Blitzwing. The only complaint I've ever had about him, once I fixed his shoulders, was the roundness of his face to accommodate the facial gimmick, but it's a minor complaint honestly and I think he looks great. I'm probably one of the few people that liked him better than Springer, who I thought was too tall or too skinny. It looks like a great Springer, but I'd love to see something a little stockier.

Thanks! Just trying to keep all of you happy.

This line is tough to photograph because there are so many customizations. I'll do my best to do some of the more obvious head swaps but won't be able to do them all. Trying to get through galleries of Deluxe Class Wave 2 who I've had since last Tuesday.

He looks a bit thin/.scrawny to me in my opinion I prefer the Double Dealer version.


If Megatron gets remade into Blitzwing then I will use that version since he looks more buffed up and fits the original Blitzwing blocky look better.

Any chance you can add some other Astrotrain comparisons when you get a chance?

Apeface looks awesome on astrotrain there, can't wait to make that happen

Did you guys know that using the shuttle noses for the Sentinel/Astrotrain mold's train mode gives it a sort of bullet train-esque look?

How does Galvatron's head look on him?

I wasn't too impressed with Astrotrain at first, but the more I see of him, the more I really want him. I probably won't order him online, but he's definitely one I will be on the lookout for in stores.

The time has come. All 4 of the original Autobot Headmasters who weren't city sized have now been released and collected, and it is time to show off a huge gallery!

Seibertron.com presents our latest gallery, that of Titans Return Chromedome, Highbrow, Titan Force Brainstorm, and Legends Hardhead! Chromedome is a brand new mold that perfectly encompasses the leader of the 4 headmasters coupled with a little bit of IDW spice, and includes his partner Stylor. Highbrow is also a new mold that shares some engineering with the wave 1 Titans Return Scourge and includes his partner Xort. Brainstorm is a retool of the wave 1 Blurr figure and includes his partner Teslor, or as we all know him as, Arcana. Finally, we have legends Hardhead, who is the Takara version of the Hasbro release featuring a new face that includes a mouth. This version of the character would not normally have a named headmaster partner normally since in Japan the little heads were the actual characters and the larger bodies were simply extensions of the smaller figures, but the toy name in Japan for Duros was Ros, so that is what is labelled here. He also comes with a cute little tank/jet drone named Tankette to accompany him, which originally came with Terri-bull.

Check out the headmaster quartet below, now labelled as Titan Masters (well, all except this Hardhead) and let us know what you think of this first modern realization of the quartet!

I thought the tanks name was tankette?

"Ros"? No, Legends Hardhead's little tank Partner Drone is named "Tankette". "Ros" was the Japanese toy name of Duros (which that gallery seems to be for instead of for the tank).

That was my bad. I forgot the name of the tank and was running with the thought that the head did not have a name besides the figures actual name.

It has been fixed though

Also, shouldn't this gallery news be in the TR gallery thread?

I do think you're right about the head not having its own name, as I can't see any indication on the packaging that it does. Ryan must've just labeled the head's gallery by its original toy name for the sake of differentiating it from the Transtector's label.

Sabrblade wrote:Also, shouldn't this gallery news be in the TR gallery thread?

Miscommunication on my part badly interpreting directions. It will be moved soon to the correct spot

Could someone post a picture of Stylor in Batora in dino mode?

That is indeed the case, the Headmasters are all unnamed so far. However, in fiction Broadcast/Blaster and Soundwave have already been upgraded into Twincast and Soundblaster, the former having been explicitly called out. So we can expect those two to have different names between head and body.

The 4 of them look amazing together great galleries!


Just started buying Titan Returns figures I only have Sentinel Prime and Nightbeat so far but I love them so darn much especially with Headmasters being my favorite gimmick.



Also wanted a Sentinel Prime forever so I got him now.



Anyone know if Walgreen's exclusives will show up here in Canada not sure if there is one here?

After finally uniting the Autobot Headmasters, it is time to unite their dark counterparts!

Seibertron.com is proud to present to you today our newest galleries, that of Titans Return Wolfwire and Monxo, Titans Return Mindwipe and Vorath, and Legends Skullcruncher! Wolfwire and Mindwipe are 2 brand new molds showing off some nice modern beast-former engineering, with Mindwipe even pulling the very cool trick of making his robot mode legs the Beast mode wings. Skullcruncher, meanwhile, is the Takara version of Titans Return Skullsmasher, and comes with a little vehicle named Batora, who is the same mold as the little dino-creature that came with Crashbash initially.

Check out the preview of the gallery below, and check out the full gallery by clicking any image below! You can find these Titans Return products and other items on TFsource.com.

Always confused me how they had four Autobot Headmasters yet only three Decepticon Headmasters. Throwing in the Horrorcons never helped either.

In any case the more I look at Weirdwolf and Skullcruncher the more I need them. Mindwipe's cool too but not quite as omg need as the other two.

Is it just me or does it seem like if you painted Weirdwolf's gun black it'd make an amazing Fusion Cannon?

I was going to skip all 3 but all 3 have turned out awesome and then I watched the Headmasters cartoon and need them.

And yes, it would make an excellent fusion cannon

It should be the law that any bad ass cannon is a fusion cannon.

I know it's Megatron's signature weapon but I really want to see more characters use them Autobot or Decepticon.

Oh sure, they can paint those little circles on Weirdwolf's chest to evoke the screw holes on the original, but of course they don't do anything to the little Headmasters...


I do like how Weirdwolf's made up of multiple layered parts (shoulders and wolf head), something that seems to have otherwise vanished in today's figures. He's even got the little hinged panels that hide away his robot hands! Where have THOSE been?!

I still prefer Hasbro's skullcruher, hardhead, and Galvatron, over Takara's, but I do think Takara's Blurr is better looking than Hasbro's.

Okay, I know I'm probably going to anger some G1 fans but: Weirdwolf's altmode is bad. Just look at those legs! They're so short and stumpy! That doesn't look terrifying, it looks like he swapped them with another guy who has a gerbil altmode. TR version is better though.

Well, there is Tarn who has a double fusion cannon and now Megawife who has a fusion rail gun

Maybe it didn't look as strange on the same side of the '87 checklist as Sixshot, whose "wolf" mode always struck me as more of a Tiger-headed polar bear. So many fans have argued Ravage being a dog over the years, but I'd never heard the first two actual TF canines called into question before tonight.

And as for the new guy's gun, I think it's far more interesting in it's current color, especially on the back of an orangish-yellow quadruped, because it looks a LOT like Sinnertwin's cannon:

Which gives me (possibly misplaced) hope that Prime Wars will roll out the Beastalt-teams that Combiner Wars lacked! Titan-master weapons being reused on Terrorcons, who in turn get remolded into Monster Pretenders...or possibly just the Dino Force if Takara's current pattern of picking up Hasbro's slack continues. Seriously, look Platinum LioKaiser in the eye and tell him it couldn't happen.

Just saw Wire and Wipe at Walgreens 2 hours ago; no Brainstorms yet, but this was the first I'd seen of wave 2 in my neck of Michigan.
