Cool, I'll show him the trailers and stuff. I had my doubts because Platinum does have their (well deserved or not) fame for difficulty and occasional obscure mechanics.

Guys I'm looking through the window and I see Blaster!

On a different tickle I got MP Takara Tiger Tracks today, and he's pretty much identical to my KO Red Alert. Similar leg/hip problems, only difference I can see is how the armes on TT attach to his shoulders, and his chest clips in properly. Oh yeah, it does say Countach above his ankle too instead of cantach. Guy I bought him from had already put blu-tac in his hand to help the gun hold, which isn't a problem I've had on any other MP I own. gently caress it, both of them were £25 rather than £60+

Titans Return is the second part of a grand multimedia trilogy which started with Combiner wars and will include IDW, the new machinima series and toylines.

Shuttle guy is Sentinel Prime.

Guy who has no speaking lines in G1 (I think? Who cares), Guy who is a prick in animated, guy who megatron killed in IDW and guy who megatron killed in wfc, all of whom are different characters.

Yep definite fan favorite here. There's probably some others one I forgot about too. Oh right, guy who Optimus brutally executed firing squad style in dotm while begging for his life.

Sounds cool anyway though.

I like the little vehicle guys, if they're supposed to be legends I'm ok with that. They look strangely enough like they belong in G1, they almost resemble those micromaster trailers that turned into vehicles. Also can we get a confirrmation that the Purple Dinosaur thing is supposed to be a reference to the G1 griffin episode? Because it seems to strongly resembles it.

Headmaster Blaster. Not too sure how I feel about his head turning into a DJ.

No his head turns into Blaster

in the distant future transformers become so swole and buff that they cannot fit through doors normally so the only solution is to cut off their heads and have the heads turn into a smaller version of themselves.

If it's one of the things we just saw I don't get it but I think you've talked about Pretenders more than usual? Some kind of Pretender homage? That's my best guess...

It might have a fix or two but it doesn't look much past a remold.

Way more paint, though.

I like how shockwave is hiding on Bruticus' back. Have we even seen a picture of that legend before?

The Taint Reaper

So they're pretty much targetmasters for larger figures that also come with their own Headmaster head then?

That sounds pretty good for a legends figure, I miss the partners that came with the Thrilling 30 legends but these sound definitely comparable if the main figure itself can be a weapon for a voyager or a leader.

I hope they missed a spot painting Skullcruncher's face, it's like the visor is just split.

His robot and altmode prototypes are painted a bit differently so it could be.

The tech specs show how much the headmaster boosts the robot's specs, and Blaster's is called Twincast.

Galvatron's third mode seems to be some sort of spaceship.

I might be having a stroke; I can't figure out the size class of any of these toys. Is Galvatron a leader? Is Skullcruncher a voyager? Everything is so new and weird and cool and there's nothing in frame to let me get a handle on size...

Alright that's passable, if his purple head can be used on any type of Headmaster body that's cool. I mean there's probably going to be a few characters who are unworthy of having a new figure so the alternate heads will provide a nice alternative.

I thought it might have wound up to be a Beast Wars Megatron reference since a T-Rex and a Dragon were both of his alt modes.
