Also, you'll notice Broadside has 5 tiny jets - these are separate pieces that will come on a sprue, and peg right onto Broadside. John Warden just said they took the original CAD designs of the Aerialbots and scaled them down. Pretty freaking cool that they included these.

It's just the voyagers that are all triple changers. Perceptor might be but other than him all the deluxes have 1 alt mode, and the leaders have a base mode (except for Sixshot... maybe). My main complaint with the triple changer voyagers is the fact we're getting everyone but the 2 Decepticon Headmaster Triple Changers (unless those rumors are true).

Talking of those rumours; they contained Sky Shadow. This new reveal suddenly makes that specific rumour list a lot more credible - can somebody find it again? Because while I'm sure a lot of us already believed it I think tonight makes it even more believable and I wanna see what was on it again. I think it was the one with Carnivac too

It was all the guys below Deathsaurus that the source stated weren't confirmed, right?

Kurona wrote:Also, while the choice of Overlord's pretool being Sky Shadow of all things is weird at first, I think I've figured out why - they're doing an all-three-phase-sixers thing. First Sixshot, now Black Shadow, later Overlord.

You didn't see it coming dude? They've been doing this "release an inferior version first" thing, at least in theory, with a lot of stuff. Make a mold, make the retool/repaint, put out said repaint first, get sales because it's a new mold, then put it out as the character "everyone wanted"? From the standpoint of making money, makes good sense

Kurona wrote: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.

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.

Yeah, thats one hell of a turnoff

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

Kurona wrote:WJ88, you can finally stop being a Legends Brawn naysayer

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.

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

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

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?

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

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.

Black Hat wrote:Broadside I'm not sure about. It looks like he's a Leader and they've done away with the triple changing, which in all honesty I'm OK with. The sprue of Aerialbots is awesome. Still, it IS Broadside...

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.

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.
