Fellow Canadian Seibertronian Matrix_Holder sends us a report from Burlington, Ontario, about the Transformers Titans Return line, and specifically, Titan Masters wave 1 and the big 'un himself, Fortress Maximus! The were all spotted at Toys'R'Us, and there are still some left at the store - hunt away, after reporting any findings in our database and boards!

(We believe this means the line has now shown up across the world, and I can confirm Europe will be carrying Fort Max later this year too. So happy global hunting!)

I'm still torn on fort max. Not because I don't think it looks good I think it's amazing, I just don't think I need to spend $150(US) on something that will literally be on a shelf and never played with. Yeah I'll take it down once in a while but not as much as say the other stuff I have. I barely ever take down metroplex. One of my friends got him this week and I'm suppose to swig by and check him out. Maybe seeing him in person will change my mind

While I do like the look of these figures; I don't think I like them enough to bite.
I will be showing my 8 yr old a couple video reviews though, because I think he might really like the head figures being able to ride around in the alt modes...

The main point of this post though is in response to watching a review of Galvatron...
It is killing me that I hate the head gimmick so much!!
Other than that, the figure looks really really nice. I'm not that bothered by the lack of wrist articulation, and the spaceship mode is pretty decent for what it is.
Still, there's no way I'm getting this figure unless a 3rd party makes a complete Galvatron headsculpt.
Not impressed with Soundwave, I'm also to the point where I don't know if I even want TT's Blurr anymore.
I may just be taking a break from TF's in general for a long while.
Especially because I won't be surprised if I skip the L.K. movie line as well.

I got Galvatron from toysrus last week and yes the head gimmick is the weakest BUT it's not that bad. Videos and photos make it look way worse than it is. In person it's alright. Not great but alright. It doesn't ruin the entire figure, I got him a week ago and I'm still playing with it.

I found this on facebook, another way to arrange Scourge's legs:

Thats something I will do when get mine. It breaks up the blue and shows off that extra paint detail that Hasbro did over Takara (on his inner foot).

Once I saw Rewind and Swerve sitting in those turrets in MTMTE my first reaction was "oh please tell me the cannons on PM prime can do that!" They can but all I have is Scourges for now. It looks so cool though and the hasbro blue on scourge matches takaras Magnus

Hey, the Decep's need a base too, bots have all three
although looking a the pictures, and the blaster review, it looks like soundwave's door cant form that little observation platform that blaster can.

sixshot too however we don't know what class he is. I assume leader. I don't believe you'll be able to pull off 6 modes(if he has 6 officially) with a voyager. If sixshot is leader class than that means we'll be getting a lot of Decepticon leader class figures for a change.

I'm actually really happy with the assortment we are getting in Titans return. It's almost split in half. Usually we get 3 autobots and 1 decepticon in waves and by the end barely any decepticons. In CW we got 5 complete autobot scramble city combiners and 2 decepticons. When all the sets are out it'll be 6 autobots and 3 decepticons. I'm a decepticon guy so I'm always bummed when we don't get a lot of them.

The source that showed us the picture for TR Sixshot also said there'd be a Leader class Greatshot; which I have no doubt would be a retool/pretool of Sixshot. So yeah, I'd expect Leader class (but at the same time, I am wondering if he really will be able to pull off six modes... at the very least a base would be one of them).

And yeah, I know right? I personally like cons a lot more than bots most of the time, so I'm really happy they're having a ton of those this time around. Really excited for megsy and skullsmasher

Yeah, bad guys don't sell as well, so they become faceless masses of the one ( sweep, vehicon, decepticlone)
I am looking forward to some balanced battle squads, actually, some of the best toys the last couple of years were the leader class skyraiders, vs deluxe class autobot cars, more in-scale, and more terrifying decepticon forces

Hasbro needs to bring back Supreme Class for Overlord. The guy was combiner-sized, a Leader class toy would be way too small for him, especially if there's a Godbomber upgrade coming for the PMOP/Super Ginrai mold that would make it even bigger. Overlord needs to surpass (or at least match) God Ginrai in height.

Re: Transformers Titans Return Titan Masters and Fort Max Sighted at Canadian Retail (1804170)
Posted by Kurona on July 9th, 2016 @ 7:52am CDT

Considering how much Generations has homaged MTMTE when and if they can (even in combiner wars, First Aid managed to be styled off of his comic counterpart while in TR Chromedome and Rewind, while there for the gimmicks they're pushing, are also based off their comic counterparts), I'd be very happy to have Overlord as a leader class considering in the comics he's pretty much Magnus-sized. And it still jibes well with being the same sort of size as PM OP/Ginrai

Though really, for a true MTMTE homage, all he needs is some lovely luscious lips...

I have thought that overlord would be cool as a supreme class but in the same right I do want to have him look like he could face off against leader Magnus so I also don't want him to be too big. All thought MTMTE and wreckers his size kept changing, one point he's practically the size of a combiner that's not mass displaced, then he's slightly taller of ultra magnus and at one point He's as tall as shockwave who is as tall as Optimus and then in MTMTE he's giant, then small then giant again and now in dying of light when shows up he's bigger than tarn but in the newest issue he's as tall as tarn. Sorry, it's annoying.

I'd love to see supreme class return but man they'd be like $75 now. 10 years ago they were $50 and that's how much a leader is now.

Oh you know he's totally going to have those, it'd be great if he came with two Titan masters. Giga and Mega and both very distinct faces for him. Curious if he'll train a form of his weapons gimmick

And generations thundering should be the size of combiner wars devastator but he's a deluxe and its still an awesome toy. Who cares about the size. When we were kids we had to use our imagination to give our transformers knees.

Honestly, as a kid, I was extremely bothered by Armada Super Mode Optimus not having leg articulation.
... I was a very lonely kid.

But yeah, I get what you're saying Sabrblade, but it's at least close. Besides, for all we know Overlord could still be a little bit taller.

Darn you sabrblade, now I want to watch Masterforce again.

When we were kids, imagination was the best tool we possessed. When I was young I inherited my cousins G1 metroplex, I had to imagine him towering over G1 prime and galvatron.

Still, I would bet money (if I had any) on overlord being leader class sized, at least. Supreme class is dead.

If it helps, I was an early teen during Armada.

And I'll second the lack of knees on Armada Super Mode Optimus being a disappointment. Most of Armada had disappointing articulation, especially coming after the wonderfully articulation-heavy Beast Era.

Words right or of my mouth. I was 17 going on 18 when armada started. When beast machines ended and we got RID I was starting to sway away but Armada brought me back full force. I still think armada was a great and fun line.

We're spoiled now. Back then we were lucky to get elbows and knees on transformers because armada took a step back in articulation and simplified transformations to draw a younger audience. Now everyone throws a fit if it doesn't have a wrist swivel or ankle tilts.

I guess people have been spoilt by the marvels of modern engineering. Though they also forget it could be far worse like the titan series that hasbro put out for the marvel and star wars toys which only have five points of articulation. I'll be honest though there's some in the fandom who forget that these are toys and meant for kids. Aside from the platinum editions and masterpieces of course.

Oh it's gotten so worse over there! Not to go on a tangent but I do a Star Wars parody comic for a site using figures and it's so aggravating now that all you can do is move arms and legs up and down and swivel the head! Star Wars toys were awesome from 2005-2014 because they have such a range and that 3.75 black series is practically non existent.

Anyone ever interested in checking it out just look up 515comics on Facebook. Our logo is a red walrus

Sorry back on topic. No I've said that many times. I am someone who is fully aware these are toys and this is just a hobby of me collecting. I buy them, I play with them and I ware off the paint and I don't care. It's childish but I want toys that are fun and I have fun with what we get.

The variety of ages on this site always gets to me. I'm used to talking to people my age range or younger; maybe some a few years older. And then here I'm just like "oh wow I'm talking to people as old as transformers itself"

I was a huge Star wars collector before I got into Transformers. I have well over 1000 figures spanning from when everything first started until now and it's ridiculous how drastically the line has gone down. Just a few years ago they were incredibly poseable with so much articulation it's ridiculous, now everything is 5 POA and they cost the same. For $10 you get a figure that can only move it's arms and legs. By comparison for a transformer of the same price and size they have two modes and plenty of articulation. I think this fandom often forgets how lucky they have it compared to others.

I guess it's just the way it is now. Transformers are a little hallow(I personally don't mind that) and other toys are losing their articulation. The 6' SW figures are cool but like I said, I use the smaller figures for production reasons I need figures I can pose

I think Kurona was referring to the MTMTE incarnations. In which case, a leader-sized Overlord would suffice. And I would buy it in an instant, lips or no lips. (But lips would be the preferred option.)

Honestly id be fine with just a tidal wave retool with a new head and knees. That's what I was hoping for when botcon did their version a few years ago. Instead we got the bludgeon mold that only works for bludgeon and kinda works for Banzai-tron

Nah nah; when I mentioned comparisons to PM OP/Ginrai that was my mistake. I incorrectly remembered them being the same height.

I can't wait for the possible Titans Return Overlord! I was there when they teased it at BotCon, and I've just been waiting for it to either leak or get officially announced for a long time now! Anybody else think Star Saber needs a figure in this line?

I got into Transformers during Energon and Cybertron, so I'm very likely one of the youngest people here.

I was 3 when Energon came out. Apparently Energon is a lot better when you're 3 years old and terrible when you're 15.

Me: Hey Hasbro, when are you guys gonna announce Titans Return Overlord?

Hasbro: I dunno, maybe Comic Con, maybe at a convention next year. Just wait and see.

Me: Okay, Hasbro. I'll just wait patiently by telling people who complain about lack of waist and wrist swivels and hollowness on Transformers to shut the f**k up and calm down because those exact problems have been on Transformers since G1!

Pfft. I got into Transformers when Fall of Cybertron came out. I was eleven.

Also, I'm pretty excited to see what TR Overlord looks like.

I saw the first live action movie when I was in kindergarten

And even better, if you arent satisfied with the deco there is another company that has its own take on the same toy. Thats really unheard of anywhere else. I do feel lucky.

Oh I'm extremely happy with what we have - the most recent figures I have (the combaticons minus vortex, alpha bravo, rook, CW windcharger and groove) are absolutely lovely. I just think there's some room for improvement; some wrist articulation would be very appreciated.

I don't get why people want waist swivels, though... like, to me it seems like the last point of articulation you'd really want, and I can't come up with any scenarios - nor can I physically come up with any poses with Classics Optimus - where a wrist swivel would be a benefit. Am I alone on this? I kinda don't understand it.

Wait swivels aid in making poses more dynamic. Its posing 101 when drawing.

Making the chest move 30 degrees off the center gives it a much more dynamic look.

Eeeeh... I dunno. Maybe it's just me but it just looks a little bit too much like they disjointed themselves. Waist articulation doesn't quite work when it's just a swivel like that imo.

Yeah, some can pull it off better than others :lol:

wrist swivels is something that I'm not actively seeking, to be odd and different. If a toy has them, then fantastic, if not then meh.

I mean skystalker hasn't got wrist swivels, or waist swivels and he's fantastic.

I got into Transformers during Energon and Cybertron, so I'm very likely one of the youngest people here.

Me too!
