    I will get most of the deluxes and voyagers not all but most and a takara Galvatron. The 86/87/88 and beyond thing is right down my alley

    I like what I've seen thus far, but until I get some of these figures in my hot little hands I won't know if I'll continue liking them or end up disliking them.

    I'm really looking forward to Titans Return. I love all the character variety we're getting finally moving into the 1987 and beyond range of G1, and even if I have little attachment to some of these characters, their toys look cool enough for me to be onboard with getting them (examples - Highbrow, Weirdwolf, Triggerhappy), and characters I love are finally getting good updates (Galvatron, Hot Rod). At this rate I think I'm gonna end up getting almost everything from Titans Return save for Stripes, the extra heads, the Voyager Optimus, and maybe Sentinel Prime - I've been really back and forth on him.

    I wish there was something in between dislike and neutral.
    Im in between there because i only like what they show of the original headmasters but the still look cheap to me.
    Im holding out hope that they get better than the last line so i will see.
    So far im buying less and less each year not only from quality but also availabilty.
    I refuse to buy at a markup online without actually seeing the product in hand before buying it.
    I must be old fashioned.

    Neutral.

    Couldn't care less about the gimmick and not on board with everything having the gimmick.

    But...

    At the same time, much like with the Combiner Wars, there are figures looking good enough that I want them despite the gimmick.

    But I think I know by now what exactly I'll purchase from this line, the list is already made and not a very long one, so...

    I'm looking to see more reveals for Legends, since I already made my mind about Deluxes and anything bigger.

    I chose "dislike" because:

    - Headmasters of non-headmaster characters.
    - No Target/Breast/Power/Action-Masters (because Action Master characters could easily homage the playset/vehicle, with the head-bots being the action master).
    - Having the audacity to name a toy "Powermaster Optimus Prime" (instead of just "titan master"), when the Powermaster AND the individual cab/robot isn't a part of the toy.
    - The lack of specific, original Headmasters (especially when non-Headmasters are being included), such as Snapdragon, Apeface, Japanese Headmasters (Rodney, etc), Headmaster Juniors, Scorponok, etc.
    - New characters, even if they are recolours and remolds of existing toys (with alternate head combos).

    the new ones seem to be smaller than the original ones from back in the day. They may fit, but from what I saw at botcon they're going to be small. I may be wrong, the head plugs may be the right size but from a glance they seem tiny.


    IN regards to the line, I think they look great. Why does everything have to be exactly G1? Hasbro and IDW seemed to incorporate a lot of the CW concepts from the comic into the toy line, I wonder if headmasters will be coming to IDW now. New takes on old things is what keeps it interesting.

    Like it because the expanded cross pricepoint play is a great step forward. But I don't love it just because I don't have much connection to these characters.

    Its always a challenge to bring something new into the historic brand of Transformers. Titans Return is a fresh twist on an old concept. But being childrens toys first and foremost, the fan service is titanic-ally apparent...

    The character choices such as Sentinel Prime or Double Cross are refreshing. But the class sizes are far from titanic. Our figures seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Withe the exception of Fort Max...

    I sternly believe figures such as Galvatron should be Leader class and Scourge should be Voyager class. But I digress...

    The line looks fun and full of fresh characters with the great possibility of new repaints such as Blitzwing (Voyager Megatron) or Octane from (Voyager Laser Prime).

    The quirky backwards repaint first with Sent Prime / Astrotrain is a precursor to what is to come IMO...

    Keep it up Hasbro / TT. Hopefully the kids / fans will have tons of Titans to enjoy...

    I am neutral about the line itself I won't be buying any of the figures but some of the designs do look good and it's nice to see updates of the G1 headmasters... However I do think like Combiner Wars it's rather one note, remake all the characters we did last year and the year before only this time make them [insert warmed up G1 concept here]. Further more I am rather annoyed that in 2016, the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars, Hasbro are giving us yet another G1-themed line with no Beast Wars inspired figures whatsoever. It's almost insulting.

    Gave it a love it for the sole reason we are getting an Apeface. Yes he is a tiny little thing, but each mode represents each one of his transformations. Only thing that would make me even more excited if they did the exact same thing with Snapdragon.

    As far as what we've seen so far it has potential for being a great line. Putting aside the fact that quite a few characters are now headmasters when they never really were before, for the most part the gimmick doesn't ruin the figures. Looking forward to this far more than CW. Still going to pick and choose but what can you do with limited space.

    I'm loving the line. Sure, aside from Apeface and Skytread I don't see much in the Titan Masters but still. I'm not too much of a fan of yet another Hasbro takeover of the comics, but still.

    I like that we are finally seeing some other characters get spotlighted. Part of me dislikes that characters who weren't headmasters now are but at the same time some of these figures look great.

    Went neutral.
    There're figures I like, but a lot that I won't be getting. Not a Headmaster fan, and seeing characters who were never Headmasters become Headmasters is disappointing. I can excuse everyone being a Combiner in Combiner Wars because you didn't have to turn them into a limb or torso. But you have to remove the Headmaster's head for transformation.
    Also don't really like how G1 the aesthetics are. I prefer some stylization and design updates which is why I love the IDW designs so much.

    But like I said, there are some figures I'll get. I expect some cool figures down the line, so I can't say I dislike it.

    I like it for the original headmaster characters and most of the legends toys. But I don't like how they're forcing the gimmick on every figure above legends class.
