I don't even care what you think, Shreddicus Maximus is the best name in the history of this franchise. Oh my god.

Buying anything from HTS, even a paper clip, give me a 30$US charge MINIMUM in shipping.
I'm not exaggerating.
Do you live on the international space station? Also they give free shipping anywhere on orders over $50.
EDIT: free shipping on over $15

It only uses Fracas' torso and upper legs though - the lower legs, arms and head are all new. Makes me think they're referencing someone specific; I WANT to say Metroplex, but that head doesn't seem quite right... very confusing.Terrsolpix wrote:I've been scowering google images and can only guess it to be a pre-Jihaxus Srcee. Head shape matches and so do lips, only the chin is more prominent and it has singlasses.
Yeah, I remember there were a lot of efforts to work out who the TM might represent back when we first got stock images. IIRC we couldn't find anything that fit very well back then either, so I wonder if it might be possible that it's actually a new character/design? (Though admittedly I can't find any images of pre-Jhiaxus Arcee so Terrolspix might be right, I don't know.)
Have we had any 'new' Titan Master partners in the line so far? "New" as in an original design, not just a new name or nominally-new character that's just the bigger guy shrunk down. Especially given that as a character who's (seemingly) primarily defined by IDW, I wouldn't put it out of the question to have this TM design be almost an "advance preview" of a potential new character to become Windblade's TM in possible future tie-in material.
(Though I guess if the head design (not the rest of the body though) resembles anyone, it kiiinda looks like Nautica - another prominent primarily-IDW-based female character? Not that it would actually be her, more just like a visual homage to a superficially-similar-character. It's probably not that though. *shrug*)

I have to say TR Windblade is the best looking Windblade thus far, I just hope out of box the mold is stable.

So ok.
Siege of Cybertron: so glad I pre-ordered when I did. Excited for the figures except Pounce.
Windblade is one of my skips of wave 5. Ramhorn, Seaspray, Twintwist, Misfire, Octone, and Overlord are my buys for the wave. Really excited for Twintwist too considering the wreckers and how Topspin is ranked #2 or 3 on best figure of the line currently.

Windblade looks pretty good, but I think I will stick with my Takara Adventure Windblade. Even if its a tad bit small. Getting little tired of all the not-headmasters being headmasters. Cant wait to get Octane though. Ive been checking Wal-mart every couple of days.

I'll pass on her because I have a Legends class Windblade and a deluxe class Windblade, so why would I buy one that doesn't have her own head?

Do you still have his accessories? Because thats whats pricey. A jetfire body can be aquired for about $50 on e-bay (last time I checked) which isnt too terrible.

Classics Voyager was more Macross like, IMO.... (And a better toy too!)
Wow, does Trypt look nice! I was planning on having him as a dino standing over Metroplex in carrier mode, ready to stomp. But, I might need to do a whole base/fortress or starship display instead... Nice work there on this titan!

Yeah I felt the classics voyager toy was better, the Leader just does nothing for me at all. But niether come anywhere near the G1 Macross Jetfire toy. That's still a beautiful thing that just can't be beat no matter how many times they've tried. Trying to blend elements of it within that awful boxy Skyfire cartoon design just ruins it. Yeah I get why they need to do that but it still just sucks.

This Windblade look awsome! I have the Takara legend Windblade and I really do like her overall appearance but I don't like her jet mode very much. The Titan Return jet mode look very good to me. And even though she is a repaint/remold, I think it fit the character very well. I can't wait to pick her up at retail. Do we have a release date yet? Same goes for Trypticon. I don't usually buy Decepticons but he look so good, I can't pass on him. He will be great standing beside Metroplex on my shelf.

We are almost exact opposites there, my friend! I tend to go with Cons most of the time! 
But as far as Tryp goes, I'm still undecided - I still have the G1 incarnation and he holds a lot of nostalgia, being the last TF I bought until eBay came along and brought me Snaptrap.

So I'm a little confused by this picture. This Trypticon is looking exactly like the T.Tomy version, and if that's the case, heck, Imma go Hasbro on this one. But it makes me wonder, will it be paint apps to Necros and Full-Tilt specifically that are going to be the difference between the two or are they just separate market versions of the same exact product?
Re: Transformers Titans Return Deluxe Krok and Topspin found in the UK (1887563)
Posted by Qwan on June 7th, 2017 @ 2:25am CDT
IIRC, the only difference to Trypticon himself are some small gray circle paint-apps on his back cannons that aren't present on the TT version. I haven't been paying too much attention to the differences between each version of Necros and Full-Tilt, but I imagine there'd be the trademark little-bit-more-paint on TT Necros and I thiiink Full-Tilt's gun is a different color? But yeah, basically no difference between the two - unless you can get them at practically equal prices and/or you reeeally care about getting the totally-100%-cartoon-accurate deco, you're probably best off just saving some money and going Hasbro on the big guy.

Honestly with the length of time these toys tend to be in production (or pre-production) for, I wouldn't be altogether surprised if his appearance in Uprising was actually based on this figure's plans. Though who can tell for certain which came first; it's practically a paradox trying to deduce where the initial plan for this redeco came from...

Siiiiiigh............
I wonder if
or 
will ever make a special two-pack containing Ginrai and God Bomber? This would be a great excuse to make a Platinum set or something.

I don't keep up with Takara news too well, but I seem to remember some rumor floating around that there'd be some kind of Ginrai/God Bomber 2-pack (coming with Minerva and Hosehead heads to boot, I think) - of course that's a rumor at most, last I heard.
And it's pretty common speculation at this point that we'll see a Hasbro release of Godbomber in one the remaining two box-sets. There's been no official confirmation of any kind (even of more sets coming, let alone what's in them), but it only seems to make sense given that it'd probably be a good money-making move for Hasbro after they've already released Ginrai in one.

Siiiiiigh............
I wonder if
I don't keep up with Takara news too well, but I seem to remember some rumor floating around that there'd be some kind of Ginrai/God Bomber 2-pack (coming with Minerva and Hosehead heads to boot, I think) - of course that's a rumor at most, last I heard.
And it's pretty common speculation at this point that we'll see a Hasbro release of Godbomber in one the remaining two box-sets. There's been no official confirmation of any kind (even of more sets coming, let alone what's in them), but it only seems to make sense given that it'd probably be a good money-making move for Hasbro after they've already released Ginrai in one.

Ah ok, cool! There you go. I guess that's a good example for why I need to keep better track of Takara news

Seems unlikely to me. I think HasTak have pretty much worked out the whole GPS situation - the last documented case of GPS, according to my check of TFWiki, was Movie '07 Starscream - so we shouldn't be seeing that kind of issue again (fingers crossed). Remember that companies like Lego have been producing gold plastic, of almost exactly the hue used on Metalhawk here no less, for many years that can withstand huge amounts of stress without issue.

Also remember that there was a very recent case of huge gold plastic use in yet another Generations Boxset - G2 Slingshot. And unlike his infamous original counterpart from the 90s, he doesn't have any significant breakage issues!

I think it was one of those things that broadside was announced and shown, there were rumors of tidal wave being made from that mold so they went with it

Honestly with the length of time these toys tend to be in production (or pre-production) for, I wouldn't be altogether surprised if his appearance in Uprising was actually based on this figure's plans. Though who can tell for certain which came first; it's practically a paradox trying to deduce where the initial plan for this redeco came from...
