    Sweet! Shrek-cellent news and reporting Mechafire! I have no interest in Wheelie, but the others sound interesting, and hopefully more Titans Return figures will be revealed down the line. A Legends or Deluxe Beachcomber would be nice.

    :banghead: 

    And the worst part is that, since it's a Platinum release, it'll be at least $60.

    That Platinum set with Rodimus and Galvy sounds horrendous. Remember when the platinum line was announced to be like this big thing for collectors along with thrilling thirty and then thrilling thirty ended up being "eh, we'll throw whatever into this number system" and Platinum was just an excuse to make people pay way more mostly for molds that have been around for years?

    In any case, it's AWESOME to hear that the main line stuff is looking good. Even though I have issues with combiner wars, I think that combiner wars and Titan wars is the single best marketing idea they've had in decades for this brand. Something magical about almost every toy in a line being compatible with every other one. That's what made Armada and Energon so spectacular even if the toys weren't as top notch- amazing playability.

    Well, looks like the Rodimus vs. Galvatron set may be a big pass if only because of the figures used.

    • Titan Masters Apeface
    so If Apeface is only a head, then whats the point of making the Voyagers triple changers?

    • Legends class Wheelie
    wooooo!

    • Rodimus Prime vs. Galvatron set – uses the Titanium Rodimus Prime and Universe Galvatron molds

    ick. allthough I am curious to see if rodimus retains his diecast or is done as al plastic.

    • Another set with two Sweeps (one apparently using the Botcon Devcon head) and the Universe Cyclonus mold

    this intrigues me, if only to see funpub heads at retail

    All of the heads that are being released will have full figures released as well so there will be 2 alternate heads for that figure, 1 comic version and one cartoon version from what ive heard.

    apeface being an ape-like face would be kinda funny.

    years from now. after the pain had died down to simmering resentment.

    I´m pretty sure, they will show most of the highly awaited toys in a few weeks.

    Wheelie should be OK, wonder if they would also do a Beachcomber that can accommodate Titanmaster figures (given how dunebuggys usually have cabs that are framed with pipes anyhow, should be able to make the space open enough). The Cyclonus/Sweeps set might be interesting, if Cyclonus finally has that left hand remolded to have a peg hole. Not sure about a Sweep using the Devcon head (Hasbro can use FunPub toolings now?) but a decent Sweep in distinct colors from Gen. Scourge would be cool. I am surprised Hasbro is finally going to bring Universe 2 Galvatron back but I did miss Titanium Rodimus and I guess they have no other matching molds at the moment (WfC Megatron in Galvatron colors would be ok).

    Nice maybe we've get a Optimus Primal repaint.
    Yes maybe he could replaced my DGO Wheelie,now where's the Dion Repaint,now.
    Well that's kinda cool, at least isn't a G1 reissues or TR Repaints.
    So it's just the Sweeps and Cyclonus' Armada pack,cool!
