    Hasbro Inc recently filed a new trademark application for DECEPTICON QUAKE with the USPTO (reported Hasbro File for new DECEPTICON QUAKE trademark application with the USPTO | www.transformertoys.co.uk). It's your usual application which references two the registered marks 1327229 and 3619722 and includes the Titans Returns figures packaging within the applicstion - https://tsdrsec.uspto.gov/ts/cd/casedoc/sn87501450/RFA20170626081203/3/webcontent?scale=1

    You can view the application at USPTO TSDR Case Viewer

    edit - Not sure why my computer changed the subject to be Alnew rather than "new". Odd

    Aren't they a little late for that? The figure already came out.

    It's odd isn't it. The application suggests they were using it since the start of April this year, was that when he was released in the US?

    Oh if anyone wonders the two marks they refer to are DECEPTICON (SN:1327229) and DECEPTICON BLUDGEON (SN: 3619722)

    Who wants to bet we'll be getting all the second year targetmasters in Power of the Primes - Needlenose, Spinster, Quake, Scoop, Landfill, and Quickmix. The latter three could be retooled into members of a new, deluxe scale Devastator, if we're really lucky.

    Probably not Scoop. He was already done with both Target Masters. And doing "Buildking" from RID probably isn't high on the list for a redo since his mold is already modern compliant and could get re-released since his molds are intact.

    Don't think they'd redo Devastator either. That set is too recent and they still have too many others to cover that haven't had figures at all yet. Plus the retool potential of more recent releases that they could still do.

    Quake on the other hand could do for a full new mold since his current is only a repaint. Or it could be a filing to make sure they keep the name, especially with any potential Marvel figure releases coming up.

    As cool as that might be, this is an application for the current use of the name.

    Very odd. :confused:  I guess legal is catching up with the all the names? :lol 

    I heard mention of Action Masters... I wonder if that\'ll be part 3 of this Titan series. Or will it be Pretenders? Or heck, I wouldn\'t be surprised if they went BEAST WARS for this final part (as beast modes have been noticeably absent, AND it would be a noticeable change for the average consumer). They could go back and do a combiner Predaking and Abominus, for example, as part of this. Throw in some BW characters and I think everyone would be pretty happy. (And hopefully they remember some of the beast HMs like Fangry or Terribul).

    Buy TAV Roadblock and give him his Targetmaster...and then say the other became a Headmaster. That's what I did.

    Oh man, I would love a new Quickmix and Spinister.

    You're thinking of the wrong Landfill. The original Landfill was a Double Targetmaster that turned into a dump truck.
