Wave 3 Deluxes and Wave 3 Titan Masters have knocked it out of the park. They are fantastic.

Me too, were it not for the fact I missed out on Skrapnel. What are the chances of Hasbro releasing a (Platinum Edition) box set of the three, maybe with Deluxe retools (Barrage, Chop Shop and Ransack).

Just checked my local Target, and I can confirm that the Wave 3 Titan Masters are starting to spread across Australia. My Target has also just stocked, and I counted, 40 Leader Skywarps. I never even saw those stocked when they were new, and now they've flooded the place and are all immediately 40% off - so, um, hooray?

Wave 3 TMs (at least, the three new molds that I got) are pretty fabulous, I gotta say. Ptero's and Sawback's "vehicle" modes are pretty doofy, but in a charming way (though Sawback's instructions, if followed exactly, leave one with an even stupider vehicle that has lion legs just straight-up sticking upward off the back). Fangry's dragon mode, meanwhile, is fantastic except for the handle sticking out its neck and difficulties actually getting the Master to sit in properly.

All three have pretty great 'combined' modes, with Sawback's TM integration standing out as particularly great to me (that mane though!). It's also fun to play around with Fangry's 'Krangry' configuration, but sadly the TM doesn't lock in as solidly that way around.

Weapon modes are overall fairly decent: Ptero's longbow is a bit weird, especially the way it connects, but is still somehow fairly convincing; Fangry makes a good gun but I'm sad the barrel isn't a bit wider - as it is, it's just shy of a 5mm port; and Sawback is a fantastic shield actually.

As a last note, I'll also cast my support toward the A3/Sawback partnering. They make a great pair thematically and visually (those colors go together way better than I thought they would!), and the shield works really well for A3's robot mode. Sawback's head-mode face is even big enough that he looks fine on the Voyager body - in theory. In practice, the thin yellow face robs A3 of a lot of his intimidation factor, turning him from a fearsome Viking into Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III wearing his dad's clothes.

I really hope I can come across any Titan Master not called Nightbeat sometime soon. All of them sound friggin' awesome and I already have two deluxes to use them with.

Yes, and all the (non-legacy) Targetmasters have gun-related names: Triggerhappy, Misfire, Slugslinger, Crosshairs, Pointblank, and Sureshot. I thought this was fairly self-evident.

it's ok. I'm sure its pretty obvious to everyone else that TR Voyager Prime's Headmaster is a play on words for the short form of Diaclone (Diac), but I just figured it out myself yesterday (singing the old 80's Di-A-Clooooooooooooone) commercial song in my head

. I have no idea what Megatron's (Doomshot) refers to.

Diac is even styled after a Diaclone pilot :lol:

"Doomshot" is just a cool sounding name, nothing else behind it. The only thing he has going for him is that he's styled after Blitzwing, befitting the mold he's paired with.

You read that title right folks, Fortress Maximus has made his way to Ross, and he is only $54.99! This sighting was reported by our own Megatronus, though the actual source of the pictures is still anonymous. With all the combiner wars box sets making their way to Ross, guess it was only a short time before the big titan on the block made his way over there. Check out the images below, and head on out to your local Ross to hunt down a Fortress of Maximus!

That's a pretty incredible find, now I'm wishing I had stopped at TJ Maxx when I had the chance today since that's the closest thing to Ross we have around here.

Shame Ross has no sense of humor, under size it should say Titan.

I already own this retail version from when I picked him up on BBTS when it was first released. I also picked up his SDCC exclusive this year, but at $54.99 he's worth picking up again. I predict an epic Fort Max diorama in the near future

Via the Transformers Collector Club, in their final days of licence, we have some Titans Return news in the form of the artwork for the upcoming deluxe class Kup figure in the line! Showing off the same gimmick, double guns, and a fairly accurate deco so far, you can check out the image below, and sound off in the Energon Pub.

Posted by Qwan on December 16th, 2016 @ 6:48am CST

Kup's looking pretty fine there so far! Honestly my biggest hope is that his truck mode will have a solid(-ish) bed - I don't know why that annoyed me so much on Prime Kup and I don't imagine it'd be too hard to "fix" this time around, but I suppose we can only hope!

Although, he does look like he's got a bit of angry-baby-face going on there; I can only hope that's an artwork thing that won't carry over to the final toy. It's hard to be a grizzled veteran when you look like a two-year-old who doesn't wanna eat his mashed peas.

i just got TR hot rod and am enjoying him much more than I thought I would... kup would be a cool addition to the line up, but I wonder about a TR rodimus..

I'm being swayed by the new moulds of figures released in the generations line... there's more of an anime vibe and some of the recent tranformation engineering has made them more fun and less fiddly than the generations figure, Kup being a good example of a solid toy but slightly fiddly...

Let the controversy begin, who is he a remold of? The way his double guns look it's like Hot Rod's which join side by side.

This isn't Combiner Wars where a ton of mold reuses was necessary to appeal to retailers.

Agreed this seems like another new mold. Hell probably get remolded into someone else but so far TR has done some great work with remolding. Only one that sticks out Is getaway and I picked him up last week and said "it's getaway, it's fine" obviously we'll be getting octane and blitzwing hut we're expecting that and there's not many problems with that.

I found my dog (a beagle) in it one day. A box was buried at the bottom of a large Christmas bag filled with clothes and such. She dug her way to the bottom, got the box out, and ate all but 1 piece.

Dang girl didn't have any ill effects either, despite how chocolate is supposed to be really bad for dogs.

I still haven't found any combiners other than Menasor at TJ Maxx or Marshals. I'd like bruticus or Computron even though I got United Computron which is perfect but hey, for $40 I'd be a fool not to.
