While the news that we're only getting two new Titan Masters in Wave 4 might be sad, at the very least the two we're getting seem to be turning out well - at least, that's what these pictures from Generator_G1's Twitter would suggest for Shuffler, the updated form of one of Japan's exclusive 1987 Autobot Master Warriors. Take a look at the head mode, weapon mode and comparisons to the original below and tell us what you think in the forums!

Shuffler is absolutely adorable and actually has two good modes and probably the most badass weapon mode of all the Titan masters so far. I really hope they don't kill this size class after the line is over, there's still so much potential left. I would love a complete set of mini Dino bots, the other two monsterbots (with deluxe counterparts) and the last 3 Autobot master warriors since Toraizer is already rumored.

Who are the other 3? Do they transform into animals too, because I only ever knew of the 3 already mentioned. And ditto on the gun mode, its the best so far since it actually looks like a thought out third mode with its own specific detail.

The other three transform into robots like most other headmasters. Good thing about that is that if we got them, this would mean that they would have more content than their original release.

I'm fine with them coming with vehicles, though the animal ones are awesome. But I just want them to release a Titan Master with the name of Rodney. It would be awesome.

Shuffler's vehicle has a little tank mode too. (not shown).

He's really cute - I can see some remould potential for Ramhorn too.

Instead of some repacks (which I don't mind considering the distribution on Titanmasters is kinda terrible) I do look at the mould there is an ponder what else could have been made.

Like Titanmaster Arcee out of loudmouth has been suggested for example.
As I mentioned earlier Fallback/outback would be nice too.
What might also work is Blitzwing the reason being that you can give the alt head a Kremzeek face since the preceeding jet/tank TM vehicle already resembles Flywheels and flywheels is often becoming seen as a way of repainting Blitzwing these days - so why not do the reverse (kind of).

I'd rather like some Titanmasters of 'named' core Characters too like Bumblebee Optimus, Starscream and so on... perhaps approaching them in creative ways that interact with the larger toys such as perhaps an Optimus Titanmaster with a different face deign but a vehicle that looks like Roller.

I generally buy all of the domestic "Generations"-type releases, and Titans Return is no exception. That said, I really like Broadside, Topspin, and Brawn, and think Kup and Quake are decent figures. The only figure I really don't care for is Sky Shadow, but that's partly due to a general dislike for the Leader Class scale and partly due to the two vehicle alt mode, even if it is G1 and character accurate.

Really digging the Titan Masters. Out of this new wave I am for sure getting Brawn, Repugnus and Topspin(w/hope of a Twintwist). Been waiting on a good Brawn for 28 yrs or so hehe. Perceptor does look really good but I got Mugen Scope for $17 during the black FRI sales and touched him up with paint and am very happy. Kup is a maybe, I have the Gen one with igear cygar head and it is tough to beat. I am wondering what the cygar head would look like on TR Kup.

Anyone else feel the arms on Rewind and Rumble are just far too bulky? This isn't necessarily a complaint about it being inaccurate to their fictional appearances (though there is that too), but that it doesn't work in proportion to the rest of their bodies. The legs are slender and the body moderately thin; then you get to the arms which are suddenly massive and bloated and probably have more mass than the rest of the body combined. It doesn't even do it in a ridiculous way to give it the silhouette of, say, a disney 'tough guy' archetype aesthetic; it's just enough to make it off-putting and a discord in silhouette continuity. Not to mention the awkward placement of the elbow articulation and how the size of the arms also limits what you can really do in terms of posing and articulation.
Not enough to make me dislike the figure - I still really like it, and I can't dislike Rewind with a headsculpt that incredible - but it is the biggest flaw and it does kinda bother me. I realise it had to be done to give him enough mass for his tank mode and for the tablet to be big enough for the gimmick, but I really wish there was another way round it.

I'm sort of in the same boat. The arms are a bit too big, but but I still like the figure overall. Plus, they also give you a pseudo pile driver mode for Rumble if you rotate the arms 180 degrees so the hand is facing backward and then unfold the arms and straighten the elbows. This lets the side parts for the tablet mode become the pseudo pile drivers.

Yeah Rewind's arms are certainly too large but everything else on that figure, besides the stickers although mine are holding up pretty well, is really great.
Re: Titans Return Shuffler in-hand pictures (1851334)
Posted by RAR on January 9th, 2017 @ 2:04pm CST
I always felt the G1 toys arms were far to small the Titans Returns tablet Robots seem perfectly fine to me both in size and proportions - I got used to them being similar to the Rumble/Frenzy look in other version but the original has a different more squad body type so he's not wrong at all to me.

I might have minor issue to do with the gappy kibble in the arms and the feet being not usable to pose only to transform him. I also would like the hole in his back to take the gun for storage. But over all the only thing I dislike is the gun being so skinny.

But that may be as he's just a much better toy than Stripes - even with the flaw in the elbow transformation tolerances.

But the size of the arms - no issues there - but then how he looks in the cartoon or comic is only a very small concern to me usually anyway.

And in this case, its not even G1 or character accurate, so that makes it even worse for you I assume. I still think he looks great though in robot mode and I have a raincheck for getting leaders at $30 so I will get him (wouldnt pay more though).

And its a smart move to get all the domestic stuff, you never know which figure you will regret not buying later. Its usually the one which somehow goes for the most on the secondary market. With Hasbro shortpacking several toys this year, I think its the best time to just buy them all just in case.

Also, I look at Quke and see a ty that could easily have been released by the Club for $40 but instead is available for $15 more or less. I guess with the club not being around, Hasbro is bringing out the more niche characters for everyone to have :)

I always felt that and its why while I like this toy, it would never be seen as one of the best. Its quite a flaw. I dont like how they are handling most arms for the legends class actually, especially the upcoming bumblebee, that elbow is really odd.

In any case, it reminds me of the G1 toy which had massive forearms:

Seibertronian ReinaHW has sent us the next batch of reviews from Chefatron consisting of upcoming wave 4 Titans Return figures. We previously reported the reviews for the leader class figure Sky Shadow, the voyager class Broadside, the deluxes Perceptor and Kup, and the legends Brawn. Today's reviews cover 2 more of the deluxe figures, Quake and the highly anticipated Topspin, as well as the other new legends figure Roadburn AKA Chase, leaving us with Krok as the only figure left to be reviewed. You can check out the reviews below, and let us know what you think in the comments section!

Ok, so having watched all the videos, some thoughts from me:

Topspin: great transformation, and his jet mode works, considering what it was designed as. Very awesome figure and I want a Twintwist for him, like all you guys.

Kup: not bad. he looks better in the review, but I'm still thinking he will be the weak one from this wave that I get (I think the only one I'm not getting from the wave is Quake)

Roadburn: nice new head, I want throttlebots, so this will do.

Quake: awesome paint and head for those getting him!

Perceptor: also really good looking and another I can't wait for. Love the adjustable microscope!

Broadside: I really hope Chefatron's bad at that review, because that jet mode is atrocious. The carrier and robot modes look pretty awesome though!

Sky Shadow: simple, yet awesome looking. I wonder if he and Overlord can swap, like Sky Shadow's top can have Overlord pants. Either way, I'm getting both. Come on leader Deathsaurus!

Can't wait for the titan masters. I love that little line! Wave 3 they really hit their stride

Posted by RAR on January 9th, 2017 @ 2:56pm CST
Thinking about the current year's line and what they might do potentially for 2018 has me noticing some stylistic cues and play pattern similarities with a number of late 1980's early 90's Transformers.

Here are some examples :
http://www.tfu.info/1990/Decepticon/Gut ... uncher.htm
http://www.tfu.info/1990/Decepticon/Spa ... ceshot.htm
http://www.tfu.info/1989/Decepticon/Rou ... hstuff.htm

The way they have base modes and the interaction with the mini-vehicles just reminded me of the current toys. As well as how Krok has gained the altmode from his partner Gatoraider.
This line or a future one could do very similar things with something like http://www.tfu.info/1989/Decepticon/Sky ... hopper.htm


We have already had Micromaster/Targetmasters in Generations why not Micromaster Headmasters (Titanmasters) too ?

Using Skyhopper as an example you could have a voyager Helicopter with a brand new robot mode which opens up into base mode still (compatible with the current line) and the Micromaster base commander figure that interacts with it but as well as being a jet and mini-robot it could also be a head.

Just a thought anyway... then using the idea you can borrow some ideas from the Micromaster and Actionmaster lines and give us characters like Countdown. Which would make for a very interesting leader concept perhaps.

The other thing is that some characters had more than one companion so you could weave that idea in with the Micromaster combiner concept too.

It might work best for Voyager figures though as Micromasters are a tiny bit bigger than Titanmasters so might be a bit big to make heads for Deluxes.

I would also suggest that they keep the hole in the foot going forward for all future tiny figures though.

The other observation would be how much Tricerashot is like a Actionmaster Companion figure too so more like him might be fun to find another place for too - even if it is in RID-17 instead of a Generations line.

I think it maybe possible to alter the Transformation for the jet a bit and I plan to pop the tail plains off it and swap them to the proper way around if/when I get him. But the renders do look like that.

I wondered the same thing about any possible future Thunderwing/Diatlas/Overlord version too. I also notice some supremely cool possibly fan mode potential for the base mode to become a pretty mean looking H-Tank with a few minor changes to the parts transformation - the result would look very Animated Shockwave/Armada Megatron like.

I wonder if that is like that as it's the seed of the Diatlas vehicle mode some people think it also has.

I have some bad news, I was looking at 3d renders and everything we have seen of broadside and that is indeed his jet mode. It makes no sense, especially since the stabalizers are facing the wrong way. Depending on how the hinges work, I will try to remove and reatach them in a way that makes more sense. What puzzles me to no end are those fake kibble details on the robot shoulders. They dont serve any purpose in the aircraft carrier mode and add ugliness and confusion to the airplane mode. They could have easily been made of actual jet kibble instead, adding to the jet without removing anything to the robot.

Sky Shadow: simple, yet awesome looking. I wonder if he and Overlord can swap, like Sky Shadow's top can have Overlord pants. Either way, I'm getting both. Come on leader Deathsaurus!



Thats very smart, I had not thought of that!

And yes, I too am so damn eager for Deathsaurus. I just love Dragon Formers!

That is extreamly astute! I had not thought of that but it fits perfectly. And maybe thats why Hasbro didnt care to repeat the same gimick in both lines. I do chuckle at the idea of action masters having the alt modes of their companion. That would mean Blaster turns into a jetpack :lol:

Ok so I'm at Walmart (yet again) in hopes mine here doesn't suck about releasing the TFs and having it in their @&?!# system so thought what the hey.

They were loaded up and after wading through the piles and seeing the trees rather than the forest, the toys seemed to part like the sea to reveal two straggler Legends figures from this wave - Kickback & Bumblee (I woulda gotten Roadburn!). I reached for them when I heard a voice...!

Some young lady tried to get me to return some items without a receipt but with my ID. I ran...

...into a short line and exited, having bought Bumblee. :RUBSIGN:

Scale-wise, he's perfect! I just wish he was a VW bug, I guess....but I don't $65-want that.

A jetpack alt mode isn't so crazy - how many times did that happen in the 2000's after all (usually to Optimus) ? so why not a Blaster with a Jetpack mode - might be a way to make a deluxe blaster he could have some other mode too like a Satellite phone a space jet form too.

But running with the idea - how about Bumblebee as a Helicopter decorated in the colours of an actual Bumblebee insect.

Again their is some made sense to that as he also had a Targetmaster companion who was a Helicopter too (and so did Hotshot with Jolt).
Also Rescue Bots has had Bumblebee as a Motorcycle, Racing Car and Dinosaur too... so why not make him an actual flying bumblebee.

But perhaps there is a seed of another idea in there for future legends class toys to have a actionmaster backpack style 3rd mode - sort of like how Combiner Wars Legends also do stuff like become chest plates and guns and the like - why not a backpack ?

( I guess Wreck Gar sort of already does that to Sky Reign)

Re: Titans Return Shuffler in-hand pictures (1851375)
Posted by Kurona on January 9th, 2017 @ 3:32pm CST
I really like the concept of modernizing and updating Action Masters by having them take on the alt-modes of their partners as well. They could even have a mini-version of the weapons their partners turned into, and it works out especially well if they're something like a Targetmaster or Headmaster so the partner still exists in some capacity as an individual. Like how Gatoraider is now Krok's Titan Master, that's pretty cool if a little obvious.

I'm not sure how well it would work in execution though; there are some whose robot modes have kibble indicating an alt-mode completely different from their partners (Krok, for instance, had jet-mode kibble despite his partner being an alligator). Arguably this isn't much of a problem because it only applies to some of them, and for a lot of them it's very vague and dubious what that kibble represents - and their partners are more memorable than a car part that happens to be on their chest, so easy pass.

The real problem comes when the partner looked like... uh...

Image

... yyyyyeah, not the most flattering of alt-modes, is it?

Still, it's working out for Krok; and the idea of merging different aspects of a character's history into one unit has always been fun for me. A sort of compartmentalisation of their concepts and attributes.

So as long as it works, I'm all for it. Bring on a Gutcruncher that transforms into a huge badass jet that eats seekers for breakfast!

I don't believe it's photoshopped. Rather, they simply didn't bother to change the pose. They probably just took the Hardhead toy in CAD, recolored it, and then switched the head. Pose already done. Same with Krok.

He's actually specifically designed after the appearance he's had in IDW since AHM all the way up to MTMTE; note the shape of the gun and the angled elbows for instance.

watched em all. Here are my thoughts:

Topspin: I have Mech Ideas Apex and Geminus. Quota filled.
Kup: I like the alt mode that's more reflective of his G1 self, but I'll wait for Takara if they put out something, otherwise, the generations one with the 3rd party head is enough for me.
Roadburn: I think I'll get the 3rd party combining throttlebots, this is a bad retool of a bad bumblebee anyway.
Quake: Love the head, easy pass though
Krok: would love this but I can tell the QC issues will be same as skullcruncher sadly. I'll get the other one that's the jet.
Sky Shadow: Generations one is good for me. Waiting for Overlord.
Perceptor: LOVE IT. waiting to see if takara will do better deco
Broadside: It's as good as we're going to get at this price point folks. Aircraft carrier mode and bot are great, jet is a sacrifice.

Awesome idea. Rewind goes with me a lot of places since people actually think he is an MP3 and I have the headphones plugged in.

This guy will make an awesome - and disguisable - desk figure
YOu know what's funny? Back when he was a Microman toy, that was the whole point! :lol:

Finally found a few TMs at Walmart today. Had an employee scan them to see if they were legit. He did and said he had just entered them this morning. I went to the register, Ptero rang up but, Overboard did not. the cashier just scanned Ptero again and called it a day.
So weird that this problem is so spread out across the country.

Oh! And all this new stuff that's getting revealed. Love it! I'l have one of each please. :D

Topspin looks absolutely badass, and Krok and Quake make for rather impressive redecos, especially next to Getaway. Cannot wait to add these five to my shelf. Though I think I'm running out of room... :lol:

I wish Krok was mostly in Gatoraider's colors, but that's just because I have the TFCC Krok. Really fun repaint though, now bring on Megalliagator or whatever!

Krok: would love this but I can tell the QC issues will be same as skullcruncher sadly. I'll get the other one that's the jet.


Yeah, you might want to re-think that unless you are willing to wait on one becoming available for a reasonable price. I was thinking along the same lines, but a search on ebay only turned up 1 seller selling the entire TFCC 3.0 set for $600. That was it. Not a single other seller. Nothing on Amazon either.

So, you might want to pick one up just in case you can never get the jet version. The last thing you would want to do is pass him up now, give up on the jet later and then pay secondary market prices for a short packed figure.

Awesome! I always like to see the good guys win, you were honest and it still paid off. Why did they pick that specific price, do you know?

I like a guy who says it like it is. KVO Prime 2020!

Intersting, I thought you were staying away from straight redecos (maybe you werent). Does that mean you have chosen to get all of TR? Do you have the other 2 TMs?

Smart thinking! Especially with how popular these toys are and the snafus with distribution (on the retail side), if Krok interests you, just get him now and you can always sell him a year later when more collectors decide they want to get into these toys (check how much CW Prime goes for, he's the voyager with the lowest production run).

Never was. Krok is a sure win. You had me at black and purple Deceptigator.

Pretty much.
Do you have the other 2 TMs?
Not yet. Things are just rolling in here.

I may impulse-buy Krok - I did that today with Legends Bumblebee and two sharkticons.

I think I want a third, honestly. :CON:

I really don't know...they went and asked someone how much it should ring up and the guy looked at and said, "Ehh....make it $2.97."
So I got quite a "steal" on those Titan Masters! 8-)

This is the sole reason that I got Getaway from wave 3. Well, that and the $10 Christmas sale prices. Even at a regular $15-$17 price I figure the short packed ones are going to be able to resell for at least their original price in a few years. That being said, Quake and Krok are both instant buys for me. Need more cons and I like both molds. The gator QC issues were nothing a little floor polish didn't take care of on Skullcruncher.

Has anyone has issues with blurrs Titan master hyperfire, specifically the fin/horn? that pops up when he's in head mode?

I just got one for my birthday and I just can't get the fin to stay up,it's just dropping down into the head every time

Luckily I have never had to modify or fix any of my buys so any advice would be much appreciated thanks

Tiny screw driver take it to pieces and varnish the inside with a minuscule dab of clear nail polish (let it dry before re-assembly) ?

Thanks a lot, to both of you. I will try the nail polish tomorrow... Fingers crossed

Ok, so I got all of wave 3 I was gonna get except for the legends class which havent shown up yet. The best is triggerhappy, no doubt. But mine has the same gun twice, so I will return it to walmart to see if the other one there has 2 different guns, and will report it to Hasbro so that they get their shit together.

Anyways, I have some issues with Sixshot. The legs have a real hard time pegging together together for a variety of his modes, the tips as well (like when you want to do the spaceship mode). And the tail of Twinferno as well. Also, I had not noticed until now but the dragon heads on Twinferno have an underbite. I would have much preferred they didnt and that the lower jaw didnt go over.
Another thing about Sixshot, that wolfhead blows. It has a tumour growing from under its through and the top has a big hole throughout. Its not appealing.

Anyways, for those still wondering, Sixshot functions as if he wasnt a headmaster at all. If you didnt tell me he was, I would have never known, the gimick hinders nothing at all.

And.... He can (as we all thought) do his 7th mode, the flying wolf!
