Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet but it looks like the Takara versions of certain Titans Returns figures will have a more cartoon accurate headsculpt:

I'm curious if we'll be getting Highbrow during this run as well. We're getting the other Autobot Headmasters with Brainstorm, Chrome Dome, Hardhead and Fort Max so it just makes me wonder.

I still haven't been able to find Onslaught anywhere, but I did pick up Swindle. Other than his face sculpt (get this bot a smirk, stat! Animated Swindle is still the best head he's ever had), he's pretty awesome. Chunky and solid in both modes, with ankle tilts to boot! I will have to pick up the others now. Dammit. And I know I keep saying this, but I really need to start reading the comics. Every one that I get with a figure is incomprehensible. Starscream is a good guy now? Maybe kinda?

Swindle is so good I almost want a second one just to have stand around and not be a leg. Also:  I got linked this in this thread a couple years ago and that's how I got started reading them. There might be a better updated one now but a lot of the issues are in the big volumes now which is helpful.

MP Ironhide arrived! He is lovely! And his transformation sequence is just nice and straightforward and feels wonderfully repeatable as opposed to a nightmarish pain in the rear end like more than a few have felt of late. And good grief, that red. Sideswipe and Prime look positively anaemic next to him. Initial feeling is he's the best Autobot since Prowl/Bluestreak, he just feels so right.

Good Listener posted:Oh well hey. Mystery solved.. It was in the Spoilers thread on TFW2005 along with everything else that was later shown at the conventions. Highbrow had computer listings that showed up around the same time as wheelie's computer listings IIRC, which was months before the figure was shown.

I picked up the first 50 issues of both on the Humble Bundle Sale for like $20, that was an amazing deal, and worth it. If you're not sure where to start just grab MTMTE vol 1, as it's pretty well self contained until Dark Cybertron.

I cobbled together a Bruticus using Alpha Bravo & Slingshot (I only have Swindle/Vortex so far), and Onslaughts legs really don't like standing him up. Is this a Futurey polish fix, or did I just get a fairly shoddy one? I really like Onslaught otherwise. But not as much as Sky Lynx, that figure rules despite his hollow-arse underside.

I've noticed my Bruticus tends to lean forward or back close to the tipping point. Which with his arms being tilted slightly in when they're down makes him look like he just got rejected at Prom.

I'll have a look at the review DoctorWhat said about though.

The PE upgrade feet help him stand up straighter due to the wider base of stability, I find.

Since they're doing Animal to vehicle now for a few of the voyagers I would like a re-do on Double Dealer. The lack of Bird Mode is noted and needs to be corrected. We're getting another Nightbeat and he appeared in Thrilling 30 the last time. It can happen. Also looks like that Titan Class Voting Poll may have been useless in the end http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/02/22/hasbro-applies-several-new-trademarks-omega-supreme-vector-prime-music-cd-310377 all it may have decided is release order.

I wish people wouldn't say "need" when it comes to putting out transforming toys. I "need" water and air. I don't "need" triple-changer Snapdragon. I want one, though.

I think I'd much prefer cleaning up the sexual reaction then this option, personally. One is cleaning a pair of pants, the other is replacing a couch. Either way you should talk to a doctor. Also, just picked up Buzzsaw, And my trip report is that I neither jizzed or shat myself. So, uh, yeah. Thumbs up, me.

Hey DT I'm curious but has your department heard of any complaints about the weak plastic that hasbro apparently is using which is causing a few of their lines to be so delicate that the toys break mere minutes out of the box? I mean there's horror show images being attached to the amazon reviews now and a few other collector boards have also shown stuff that's worse than the video of Beast Wars Neo Randy being crushed in someone's hand.

TR has this condition where any wishful thinking expressed is immediately a rumor and every rumor becomes basically confirmed. The same goes for individual reports who then automatically become widespread problems. Someone here calls it wizard vision or something.
