    Misfire's head is not only the wrong colour, it doesn't look like Misfire one bit. Like, it's a completely different design,\ to the poitn where I'm wondering if it's even his.

    Otherwise, they look great. Impressive amounts of new parts. Honetsly it seems like the legs are the only parts noticably left over from Triggerhappy. Guess they all shop at the same shoe store. :D 

    Those aren't painted protos, they're clearly coloured plastic. You can tell by the way light reflects off them, Misfire's guns especially.

    YES!!! That means all of the original Decepticon Targetmasters have received Generations updates. Now we just need a few more Autobots like Crosshairs, Pointblank and Sureshot.

    The Triggerhappy retools look brilliantly true to character. I don't own Triggerhapy yet, but I heard it's a great figure. I'm glad Hasbro individualized the figures with different shoulders and chestplates. I think it's funny how Slugslinger has three cockpits now, and the hot pink on Misfire looks absolutely faaaabulous! XD But if I could change one thing, I would make Misfire's head black like in the cartoon. Having a pink head doesn't break up the colour scheme enough.

    Okay, I'm now hoping that I don't like Power of the Primes, just to give me a year off; I need something like Armada where I get like 10 figures from the entire year, because Titans Return have been killing it and I'm getting so much of it.

    I love Triggerhappy, I'm going to love Slugslinger and Misfire, that much is certain. Would've loved a double cockpit on Slugslinger, but at a Deluxe, I wasn't expecting it.

    For those who want an easy black Misfire head, you could always just use Ptero.

    These two were hoped for and even expected, yet they are still pleasantly surprising. Triggerhappy looks great & the re-mold for Misfire is fantastic. My only qualm is that Misfire seems way too pink. I always thought he was more of a magenta kind of like Generations Disc-RatBat. The head needs to be molded in black as well; it's not as though Hasbro hasn't ever left a Titan Master unpainted before.

    I'm tired of waiting for the latest waves of TR Deluxes (Perceptor, Kup. Topspin) too hit the shelves & BBTS doesn't have pre-orders up either. Waiting for these two will be another test of patience.

    I like them. I'll probably get them both and paint Misfire's head.

    These look really nice! My son just opend his Triggerhappy today (he did really good on a big test and so I gave him one of his birthday presents early). He's really a nice mold like everyone says. I'm sure my son would like to add these to his own collection.

    Now we just need Pointblank (Hot Rod retool?), Crosshairs (Kup retool), and Sureshot (not a clue). No clue how to get Quickmix and Landfill without new molds..

    Wow. These robot mode colors look real terrible. Pink head on Misfire? No visor on Slugslinger? No thanks.

    Damn, I'm excited. I've been trying to avoid buying remolds, but Triggerhappy is a sweet little toy so maybe it'll be ok to own a couple of him...

    Both heads are based on their animation models. Just like Triggerhappy. Misfire's is the wrong color though.

    Wow, those jet modes look slick, although Misfire's is a bit awkward around the canopy frame. Kind of wish Slugslinger had opening dual crockpots instead of a third one for the TM, but it'd probably be too small.

    What's so bad about Gundam Markers? I'd say a black Sharpie'd be worst to worst.

    He said they look like painted prototypes. But I would've hoped that they are, because ugh, that pink-ass pink head on Misfire is bad. That's another thing, it feels like they got the color wrong on Misfire. Doesn't look so much like magenta as it does normal pink. Oh well, I'm gonna paint the head anyway, might as well fix the color.

    He'd be perfect for a box set. One head on him, the other could be the set's Titan Master.

    Titans Return continues to be one of, if not the best TF line, since G1.

    Wasn't Windblade also the Triggerhappy mold? If these are all wave mates that'd put CW's retools to shame.

    Windblade is Highbrow/Scourge. Metalhawk is Triggerhappy
