    We at TFW2005 have decided to set up what we think will be a fun little activity for the community to participate in - monthly polls! These will mostly relate to recent events and will be open for the entire month before the poll is closed and a new one is moved onto. Results will be shared in each subsequent news post.

    With that out of the way, let’s get to it. The first poll’s topic was a pretty easy one to choose - Titans Return is approaching rapidly, and now that we've seen a good chunk of the line, we'd like to hear your opinions on it thus far.

    Cast your votes and share your thoughts here!

    Also, reminder to please keep it civil and respect each other's opinions. Thanks!

    I would have chosen 'dislike it', but there actually are a few figures I'll get, so I went with 'neutral'.

    I love it. Besides a few Titan Masters(Brawn & Nightbeat) I want pretty much everything.

    I dislike it because of Headmaster palooza, but I find it great because the OG Headmasters are there. Also, individual heads that have no transtector. This is the same problem that CW had. The OG Headmasters are what is keeping me from hating this line. I dislike it.

    Wouldnt have minded seeing CW improve in quality at least to Takara standards. But hey, Rodimus, Wolf Wire and Trigger Happy look decent.

    Awesome figures! But the amount of people complaining about their entitlement and not just saying they don't like the figure for A. reason and it not being right too the source material really bums me out

    Neutral--how can we have a poll about figures that are not released yet?

    I chose 'like it' because while I'm interested in a lot of these figures, there are only a few I'll actually get.

    Don't like the general aesthetic, the boxiness, random geometric greebles, alternate modes not really looking like real things, the Headmasters being rather large and somewhat unnatural looking.

    Also have no need for characters who weren't already Headmasters to now be Headmasters. I mean, it doesn't affect me that much because I don't really care about the available characters anyways, but gimmicks tend to be the defining feature of many Transformers; homogenizing them kinda defeats the purpose a bit. Like, I wouldn't want everyone to store a bunch of minions in their chest like Soundwave.
    (plus adding a "remove head to transform" step to everyone would just get annoying)


    That being said, I do want to get Crashbash (if more to repurpose him as Vos), and maybe Horribull if they ever make him (assuming he's still a Ghostbusters Terror Dog, and not reimagined as a proper bull)

    Do we know yet if these heads will fit with old Headmasters? I'd love to buy the new Squeezeplay head that's being sold on it's own to put on my headless G1 Squeezeplay.

    Just release Ft Max, Double Cross and Wheelie already! I'll be good after that.

    I don't like the headmaster gimmick for non-headmasters.

    "Like it"

    While I think in concept Combiner Wars is the superior of the two "wars" lines, I do think it'll be nice just buying a few $15 figures rather than $85+ investments. While some of the figures are unnecessary (The Voyager Prime, if it is real, and Sentinel Prime), the figures that look good do look really damn good. I'll honestly have to wait till the line actually comes out to make a proper decision on whether I like it or not.

    It's everything I've been waiting decades for. This line will make me poor.

    Like. Only because I'm working on my Classics 84-87 checklist and CW made a huge dent in that. With the redo characters that were getting I'd rather those spots go to characters not yet made. I love everything they have shown though for the most part.

    Love it.

    TR Aesthetics seem to fulfill my every wish and the more we get into 88/89
    characters, this will get even better.

    My most anticipated line in years.

    I voted love it because of how we are finally getting updates of characters we haven't gotten yet though at times I wish it didn't have the headmaster gimmickbbut its fine. Though it sure makes up for the many repaints in combiner wars....

    Finally a decent representation of 1986 Galvatron, an articulated Powermaster Prime, the original Headmasters, Trigger Happy, G1 Blurr and Scourge with original vehicle modes, Double Header, yes - I am VERY excited about this line. Just release it already!
