NYCC 2016 Gallery: Titans Return Brawn, Kickback, Voyager Optimus Prime, Titan Masters Repugnus, Shuffler and more

#SquadGoals

Really think the new triple changer optimus looks awesome. Probably will end up being retooled into tankor, which is good. I like the little elephant guy, but the pterodactyl's altmode looks lazy. Brawn looks badass.

I'm kinda split on Brawn's roof becoming a shield. On one hand it doesn't look that great, on the other hand BADASS.

It's just the voyagers that are all triple changers.

Leader class is also classified as Triplechangers.

Lighting sucked at this event ... sorry everything looks blue. Realized once I posted these photos that I had limited photos of Brawn, so I was able to grab some additional pics and added them at the end. Enjoy!

Wait a second! Brawn's serial number is printed on his head?!

Actually after looking at it closer, it appears Brawn partforms a little. As his arms make up the front of the vehicle, there's no way the roof naturally forms a part of his arm - so it has to tab on as an optional shield. You can even see little tabs on his legs which actually form the top of the vehicle where the spare tire roof piece would go.

Good eye. Well if the tire/roof can 5 mil peg into his forearm, it can 5 mil peg into his back/roof. so that's good. At least if you don't want it on his arm, you won't have a part laying around. And it will be more like the G1 toy...if yer into that kind of thing.

Um... the figure on display is Black Shadow. He's going to be retooled into Overlord if that's what you're talking about though. We haven't actually seen Overlord yet.

That's gonna be reality mein freund! 2017 is gonna put me to the poor house that's for sure.

I'm so hyped for the Takara version of Overlord! chooooooookon demon misSIles!

Haven't been this excited since Legends Jetfire!

I don't think it will be part of the final figure but if it is we can just use silver/grey sharpie right?

Yeah, neither did I. I guess we wont be getting thunderwing afterall then.

And yeah, I am pretty sure they are telling us that he comes with 2 titan masters

I am totally cool with being a fool about it the whole time, at least I kept my hopes down in case it didnt happen. More than happy to rejoince alongside you and steal your goats though

fenrir72 wrote:Overlord? Instant buy!

Broadside is a must!

Is the Brawn head compatible with the new Brawn as in complete body?

Kickback arooga!

2017 will be along waaaaaaaaaaaait!

Just so things are clear Fenrir, that is Sky Shadow in the pics, not Overlord. But Overlord will share the mold, so we can all still be excited.

And the brawn titan master does not fit on the legends brawn head, since its a legends figure and nota deluxe.

Gimme all that!

You and me both Cobro!!!

That takes care of my Perceptor dilemma, ordering Blaster

Titans Return: all the feels.

I am lost a bit, why was the purchase of Blaster dependent on the Perceptor toy existing?

I am super impresed with how G1 they went with him by the way. Its almost too bad since I know exactly how he transforms without even having him in my hands.

I know it's Blackshadow. But for Hb or Takara passing over an Overlord/Gigatron incarnation? That's not gonna happen so I give Overlord another 3 months to show up in promo pics. Remember Sentinel Prime then Astrotrain? me so happy!

You can remove the # on Brawn with ethyl alcohol. Just do it carefully. Or wait for the Takara version.

It was a decision on whether or not to get that platinum with Blaster and Perceptor if I remember correctly.

I thought you were a part of that convo WJ? D-Max got it. Good ol' cramtastic wants a best version of the characters display (specifically if the characters I want of course), mixing Masterpiece/Generations/G1. Had a good deal available on that Platinum set, about $15 more than TR Blaster by himself. Ended up passing, now it'll be ok as for about the same price I'll have the latest official update releases. Woo hoo ninja patience!!

Really, the only things I can see passing on so far that have been fully revealed are some of the Titan Masters..

Yeah, it was an homage, but this face is different:



Will be fun to interchange them.

Great now we can have the choice of Perceptor as Perceptor or Perceptor as Perceptor!



Wait...

And something I've been wanting to ask about that glorious figure right up there: Do you think the microscope functions? Megatronus, Seibs, did they say?

william-james88 wrote:Will be fun to interchange them.

Music to my ears.

How do you guys suspect that this Brawn figure will look next to MP Bumblebee? I guess my real question is would he be tall enough?

joeprime276 wrote:How do you guys suspect that this Brawn figure will look next to MP Bumblebee? I guess my real question is would he be tall enough?

Brawn would be shorter then Bee I think since Masterpiece figure are usually bigger then regular retail figures right?

That's extremely common for prototypes. Calm down my friends!

So I found this little trick with the Wheelie figure.

Face on blaster was not a perceptor homage

Bunblebee is roughly Deluxe-sized, so Brawn would be an inch or two shorter.

It's just a inventory number (not entirely sure what they're officially called). They put these numbers on everything pre-release in obvious places so they can track them if they show up on auction sites or whatever.

Example: check out the middle of Scourge's head at BotCon.



Then retail.

Right? It's sculpted just like him and colored just like him, what else could it be? Plus they did that whole Platinum set so we know Hasbro likes to pair the two.

Emerje

Ooooh, so many delightful beasts! At the very least I'll be getting Twinferno/Doublecross, Repugnus, and Kickback. Maybe even Shuffler, because how often do we get elephant transformers?

I wish Percy could have his sniper face, but I'm really looking forward to him. This line is really nailing the characters

FYI ... your sig image is awesome. Just realized what it is.

I think he still is a voyager triple changer. He has what look to be plane parts hanging off of him so they might have just not shown it off, and part of the legs are from Alpha Trion, a voyager, so it's unlikely they would use voyager parts for a leader class figure.

Broadside is an extensive Voyager Class Alpha Trion retool. This is retooling to the extreme. Kudos to Hasbro and Takara Tomy.

Waitaminute...

How can you say Broadside comes with the Airelbots, when there's NO ALPHA BRAVO!!??

This is Perceptor's head:



This is Blaster's head.



They are not the same. That is not Perceptor's face in the second pic. Nor is it the same helmet as Perceptor's.

Takara already confirmed in their Legends manga that the headsculpt for TR Blaster is based on the headsculpt of Binaltech Asterisk Broad Blast.



Besides, what kind of logical sense would it make for Blaster's head to be based on anyone other than a version of Blaster himself? You don't see any of the other Titan Masters turn into heads that don't look like the characters whose head they're meant to represent, right? The idea of Blaster having a Perceptor head makes no sense.

It's times like this that I love when you breathe extreme logic about Transformers into a topic. 100% agree with what you wrote. Thank you!

This is also Perceptor's head.



As is this.



How do those not look like four variations on the same face? Just look at the details; same long part in the forehead, same doming in top of the head, same parts on the top edges that rise up just slightly off the dome, same ribbed "ears", the same parts that stick forward on the sides, same black "helmet", same yellow eyes, and same silver face. It's a wider face than we normally see, but that's just so it looks right under the mask.

Takara already confirmed in their Legends manga that the headsculpt for TR Blaster is based on the headsculpt of Binaltech Asterisk Broad Blast.

Oh come on, I can't believe you're actually buying that. This is just a lame BS excuse given by Takara Tomy to explain why the head looks the way it does. It looks even less like Broadblast than it does Perceptor even if you ignore their choice of colors.

As they said when announcing the Titans Return line, there would be a lot of Easter eggs in this line. I consider this one of them since the original Blaster prototype had a different TM face that has yet to be used in the line. This was a good opportunity for just such an Easter egg since the only part that shows through is the mouth and chin.

After the numerous New York Comic Con 2016 floor images and initial gallery coverage here on Seibertron.com - all of which you can find again here, here, or specifically for Leader class Sixshot and Voyagers Broadside and Sky Shadow - we also have a video rounding up the Titans Return section of the Transformers area in the Hasbro room. Check it out embedded below!

Looks like Broadside is just an A3 heavy retool + where's his jet mode?


Perceptor....umm...ok...but...where's his tank alt mode?

Overlord...his base mode just looks like a fan mode

loving Kickback

Yeah, neither did I. I guess we wont be getting thunderwing afterall then.

I wouldnt give up too soon - this is hasbro who will milk retools. Given we got three leader seekers out of combiner jetfire, I would say for sure that hasbro will not waste the opportunity to remold this figure a third time into Thunderwing.

Stuartmaximus wrote:Looks like Broadside is just an A3 heavy retool + where's his jet mode?

This was discussed at length back when the first image of the figure was leaked a while back. Looking at it now it seems like the bulk of the shared parts are in the legs and not even the entirety of it. Broadside has none of the lion forming parts and Alpha Trion has none of the jet parts. Even the back half of Alpha Trion's space craft mode don't seem to match up with Broadside's carrier mode. I think they shared some joints, though.

more woe for my wallet for sure lol. Broadside has always been a must have for me whatever they released - he was one of my fave love / hate toys as a kid cos he had so much potential and was so lame at the same time. I recently received alpha trion (i just got him cos he was part of the wave) and I must admit i really do enjoy him more than I ever thought. The broadside aerialbots are a real nice touch, and I do think he's a voyager triple changer (they might be holding back some stuff), but you can definitely see his wings in carrier mode and robot mode, tail fins too.

sky shadow.. gonna skip and wait for the overlord figure. never had a connection with the former...

brawn - i am glad i started collecting legends after metroplex came out, what i like more is how they're using this class figure for smaller characters like bumblebee, wheelie and brawn and the insecticons where it makes sense within the whole line up (tho i do buy a couple of shrunk down characters like thunder cracker and hot rod just cause ).

if six shot is half as fun as he looks... he's shaping up to be figure of the year for me. I had quick switch as a kid and never managed to get six shot.

Really love how any toy such as six shot and shockwave that I was really really tempted to get a 3p version got a good hastak rendition... makes me avoid them even more.

Preceptor i'm a bit disappointed with as I prefer his generations' robot mode proportions, so he might be displayed in microscope mode...

I'm just now noticing that Perceptor does indeed have his tank treads on the insides of his legs as well as a wheel on his butt that isn't used in microscope mode so his vehicle mode may actually be intact.

Emerje

Hm. Can't much of this stuff appeals to me. I'll likely get Hot Rod (but waiting for Takara's version)

Sixshot manages to have six modes yet look incredibly boring in every single one.

Broadside looks suprisingly good. The lil aerialbot planes are a nice touch but do make it even more obvious how badly out of scale Broadside's entire existence is.

If Sky Shadow gets turned into Thunderwing at some point like how they shared the Deluxe Generations mold I may get that but it would have to be a very extensive retool that looks does justice to ol' Wingy to make me interested.
