    And I thought I was going to skip out on Prime...

    But if this is real....why has pretty much all of the major Titan Wars figures been revealed?

    That's interesting. Definitely looks like a remold of Magnus, but a pretty heavy one. Robot mode looks nice, and I think I see a powermaster on his chest!

    Thank Primus he doesn't have the Godbomber/Apex Armor chest!

    Those pics seem pretty legit, if I say so myself.

    It looks like it fits with what info has been leaked about him. Hopefully larger/better pics will pop up soon.

    That's gotta be legit, all right. Been looking forward to seeing this guy. My initial impression is that I prefer Magnus, but I'll be curious to see better pictures.

    Looks like the thing the Transmissions Podcast rumors described. Leader class, heavy remold of Leader Ultra Magnus.

    Interesting. I think the people who didn't want the God Ginrai chest will be pleased, as it looks like Hasbro didn't go that route after all.

    Although it doesn't appear they remolded the guns... which kinda sucks.

    Base mode seems useless, but the other modes look cool! The torso might be half/half (possibly because it has gaps)? It's not fully white/silver, but not fully red either.

    I don't expect that kind of stuff from them anymore. Eh, maybe some 3Ps will come along and give him better guns.

    I'm also very curious to how they did away with the shoulder stacks, since that was an integral part of Magnus' transformation.

    It looks pretty cool. I approve.

    Alright, I'm curious. What's the deal with weibo? What is it? Why is it sometimes legit and why is it sometimes proof that it's fake?

    How ironic. The lack of Godbomber armor is what I love the most about this toy.

    If legit... so far so good.

    Much needed clarity tho.

    Looks alright, are they going to try and force the headmaster gimmick in place of the powermaster gimmick he SHOULD have? It also would be nice if he had G1 PM Optimus' "concussion rifles" instead of CW Magnus' handguns (which are already available in black with that figure...)

    Why not both?

    Hasbro said that Headmasters, Targetmasters, Powermasters etc will be called just 'Titan Masters' from now on to avoid confusion. That leaves the opportunity for a Powermaster in Titans Return Powermaster Optimus Prime open.

    Anyway, I don't see a reason they can't have both.

    Base mode seems more like a Star Convoy thing rather than Powermaster but whatevs that's Titans Return's thing.

    If it is real, it looks good. I mean, for a retool I can only count about... five reused parts. The feet, guns and maybe some of the cab.
