Transformers Titans Return Designer Desk Video for Fortress Maximus

Thanks to Blacklai's Toybase we have some new in-hand images of the Hasbro Asia Limited Edition Release of the Master Sword! These new images show off the sword in great detail, how it splits in half, the translucent blade, and the blade in multiple figures hands. Check out some of the mirrored images below.

Eh. I'll stick with Perfect Effect.

So the sword is, finger lickin' good?

Was the KFC condiment packet to show that it was transparent or is it an in-joke that I'm not getting? (Besides finger lickin' good of course)

Ya. I think it was to show the translucency.

Why would they choose to make the blade transparent? That makes no sense.

My local KFC never had toilet paper. I got frustrated and asked why there wasnt any and the staff replied "because its finger licking good"

Well of course
Why would you choose literally anything else for a size comparison

Anyone else notice the condiment packet is pepper AND salt? Fancy!

Because transparent implies energonish-glowey-evilkicking-goodness?

Why do we have lightpiping then?

So I was playing around with my Blaster and PM Prime in base mode, and there are some ramp attachments I'm not sure anyone's pointed out (or noticed) on Blasters back-side

I knew about those attach!ent points already, I just never mentioned them because I thought everybody else noticed. BTW, I'm surprised that I'm probably the only person that knows how to store Blaster's Titanmaster while he's in boombox mode. Everybody who owns TR Blaster, take the little black thing that goes in his chest. There should be a hole shaped like a Titanmaster's body. See if Twin Cast fits in there.

I actually mentioned and showed it off at the end of the Wave 1 Titans Masters review. I found out about it from some commenters on Optibotimus' review of Blaster.

But... It doesn't do that.

It's probably transparent in parts because they thought it looks cool.
And I certainly can't disagree.

Maybe it didn't in Headmasters, but does now?

Yeah, I'm with you on this.

swords look cool when they're Transparent! And me likey this sword. Kinda want one, even if I don't really have any attachment or reason to have it

So is this the same as the SDCC version? I want comparison images darn it.

Tigertrack wrote:So is this the same as the SDCC version? I want comparison images darn it.

No, I'm almost certain the sdcc version has no paint apps outside of the black hilt, making the Hong Kong exclusive is far superior

I thought the SDCC one had stickers on its blade.

Its different, the SDCC version doesnt have clear plastic:

Emgo316 pointed that out in his review too. Emgo seems to pick up on things pretty quickly.

Seems we have a conundrum. The TFW is reporting that it is the same. I guess we'll have to wait to see.

No conundrum, TFW is wrong. Hasbro has unveiled all their exclusives in a round up today and you can see the sword is different: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/2 ... 005912/en/



This pic was already shown before but it is reused here in the round up.

Talking of said round-up, it identifies Brainstorm's Titan Master as Teslor.
Which is weird because I'm sure they were able to call his headmaster in his 2013 toy "Arcana", and Teslor sounds nothing like Arcana. It does sound like Tesla tho so I like that

I just checked and it's still available at toyrus HK with the sword. Getting one now. Wohoo!

I asked about it here:

tr-blaster-soundwave-fanny-pack-inquiries-t107311.php

Only Ryan answered, and he did not know what they were for. Si I assumed nobody new either.
I was about to go out and pick a Blaster myself to find out what they did, but Now I don't have to.

Still doesn't make much sense to peg PMOP there like that. But I guess its a usage.

I wonder if anyone will just buy a scrapload of Fort Maxes and leader class figures just to see how big they can build...

I would, but I'm not rich.

Here's what I did for Galvatron's pistol mode. It has an old school phaser vibe to it. I like it.

Evidence received. Conclusion- you're right man. Thanks!

Welcome to Seibertron! We hope you enjoy your time here!

San Diego Comic Con has started on up! After the reveal of the 3A Optimus Prime, we bring to you something more generations related. Set up right outside the Hasbro booth is a large art piece featuring none other than the fan-voted Titan himself, Trypticon! Trypticon I seen staring over his shoulder at us puny humans, ready to blast us to bits. What does this mean for the Trypticon figure coming up? Will we get anything for that from Comic Con? Check out the images below, and sound off in the comment section below!

Pretty sure she just realized giant city T-Rex thingy is about to step on her

Trypticon?! That's awesome news. I just wish I had a Metroplex to go against him

HERE COMES THE BEAST

REALLY excited for this guy; it'll be so cool to have a cityformer that isn't just a big dude.

Looks nice, but I still wish we could have gotten a toy for WFC Trypticon. Maybe around the size of a Unicron Trilogy Supreme class figure, to put him on equal terms with Platinum Edition Omega Supreme (and Planet X Genesis). That design, and character, was a BEAST!

Finally !!! I can't wait to pre order

Guys, this doesnt show anything new, its just the art from the the TF Legends game.

william-james88 wrote:Guys, this doesnt show anything new, its just the art from the the TF Legends game.

Bah, Hubcap!

Still nice-looking Legends game art, nonetheless.

But, seeing as how reveals and such are surely coming, maybe there is some Trypticon news coming, such as design sketches or something like that. Or even confirmation of if Trypt will be a titanmaster or not

D-Maximus_Primal wrote:But, seeing as how reveals and such are surely coming, maybe there is some Trypticon news coming, such as design sketches or something like that. Or even confirmation of if Trypt will be a titanmaster or not

I'm sure he'll get revealed in some way. I was thinking the same, I kinda hope the Dino head isn't a Titan master but if it is I'm sure it'll be pretty cool. Be really awesome if he just came with like 6 generic tiny Titan master heads as accessories.

Looking at the Tryp vs Max art, one can make out PMOP, Sentinel Prime, Astrotrain, and a jet that looks like Starscream.

I cannot wait for this!!! But I have to since I wouldn't be able to afford it if it came out today... Countdown to 2017 (or was it 2018?) starting now.

Yeah, I'm glad that game's art is being used for something. Especially one as awesome as the "Monstrosity" event Trypticon. Good use of existing assets, Hasbro.

Seibertronians, this one's hot off the presses. Directly from our field correspondent, reporting live from SDCC, our very own Seibertron.
Take a look at the images below, then check out the full galleries here, and tell us your thoughts in the comments. As always, for all the best SDCC transformers news, stay tuned to Seibertron.com

Wouldn't that mean that the upcoming figure is, at least, similar to the art? It'd be a little silly if he looked nothing like the big display they have set up.

I am curious how they will do a figure that's a tall as Metroplex while having Trypticon's bodyshape. That's a lot of plastic. I have a bad feeling he's going to be smaller (maybe Devastator's height)

Considering that they used the legends art for all of the cw releases (where relevant) I'd say, not neccesarily, and hopefully not at any rate, if they go that G1, I'm out

The Decepticons look awesome as always. Planning on getting some but I'm unsure about Soundwave. Though I have nothing against the figure it's just that I have a lot of Soundwaves already.

Great galleries! I really like Stripes. Hopefully they'll come out with a Nightstalker.

That looks really good! How do you transform him that way?

Pass on all of these. I do like Mindwipe's bat head but the rest of the toy doesn't work for me. I'd only get Wirewolf if I found him cheap cos the wolf mode disappoints me. Pass on Soundwave cos he's too big and I'm so sick of him and Blaster sharing molds. And his minions just look crappy. Astrotrain is the best one here and looks a lot better than Sentinel so if I was to buy that mold I'd definitely go with Astro.
