Via actoys member kidzhao, we have some new Transformers product information that emerged from a recent Hong Kong toy show, including details on Generations Titan Class Devastator, upcoming G1 reissues, and 2015 Masterpiece info. Cybertron.CA member xueyue2 was gracious enough to translate the text for us:
美版:美复G1铁甲龙、三尖头套装、闪电和大火车套装、录音机和感知器套装(磁带好像是钢钎和犀牛,感知器 的肩炮有特殊用处类似能看幻灯片)Encore version (Platiumn?) tripticon, conheads, blitzwing & Astrotrain bundle, Perceptor & Blaster bundel
idw的大力神确实不错绝对泰坦级,因为是全年龄的所以单体的变形大家就别指望了,展示品都是手工未完成品 貌似肘关节不能动,组合方面下半年还有一个守护神,但只展示了热点感觉也一般。滑翔机还有一个紫色狂派重涂 不知道叫什么,同级别还有个战戟,还有几个没记住。坦克威确实不错还有个绿色。
IDW Devastator is indeed Titan class, but because it’s facing all the age groups, so single robot’s transformation is not much. The demo versino is hand-made unfinished product, eblow can’t move. There is a Defensor will be revealed in late of 2015, so far only Hotspot is showed, and just so-so quality. Scout class has Warpath.
日版:会有很多D级人物,都不是主线人物所以没细看,ps擎天柱和md老威不错但站立有些困难。组合方面增 加电镀和还原单体成员G1配色。
Japanese version: (nothing important, I won’t translate. )
MP:今年预计就发5个,mp25和某宝放出的预定款一样,配件是洛尔和收音机,大家去看看52集就懂了, 只看了灰模貌似可动性又提高了不少。21G没有斯派克改成飞行背包了比较坑,但官方介绍会降低 售价。
MP: This year will release 5 MP. And the MP25 is the same one as the pre-ordered on Taobao (I remember that Ironhide/Tracker on Taobao? Might be Tracker) It comes with “洛尔” ( a human?) and Blaster.
MP21G doesn’t have Spike, but just a jetpad, the price will be lowered because of that.
Discuss these new revelations and check out an alternate translation after the break! Cybertron.CA member chroma23 also offers his own take on the translation:
美版:美复G1铁甲龙、三尖头套装、闪电和大火车套装、录音机和感知器套装(磁带好像是钢钎和犀牛,感知器 的肩炮有特殊用处类似能看幻灯片)US re-release tripticon, conheads set, blitzwing & astrotrain set, Perceptor & Blaster set: cassettes included looks like to be the animals, and the shoulder cannon on perceptor has some special purpose, rumored to be able to view slide shows

IDW Devastator is indeed Titan class, because it’s designed for all ages, do not expect much in terms of individual bot’s transformations (complexity i presume). displayed toy looks like a WIP hand-made (or painted) prototype and joints do not seem to move (my guess it’s like the combiner wars at SDCC where the joints are hot glued?). for combiner wars, the latter half of the year will feature defensor, but for now they only showed hotspot but doesn’t look too interesting. powerglide will have a purple decepticon repaint but dunno what the new name will be. other combiner wars legend class (like powerglide) include warpath and a few others that i couldn’t remember. there will be a green repaint for the tank (assuming he’s referring to warpath)

japan releases: will have alot of deluxe class characters, but they aren’t main characters do i didnt pay attention. PSX prime and MD megs is not bad but do not seem to stand pretty well. bundles (my guess is JP releases of generations figures?) will have additional chrome and more G1 accurate colors

MP: there will be 5 MPs this year. MP25 is the same as the rumors going around (tracks/ironhide). accessories include…..something (my guess will be Raoul and a radio (blaster) in reference to season 2 episode 36 “auto-bop”). they showed a gray prototype and looks posability is good. MP21G (G2 bee) will only include a jet pack replacing the exo-suit, but the price will be adjusted and reduced
Cast
To be fair that is a pretty easy peace for a company to make an addon part for, its not like they are missing a core member.
LegendAntihero
I hope that doesn't mean he'll be missing his purple chest piece
Wh33ls
Ahhh ok. I took it quite literally and as gospel. My bad.
Thanks for the clarification.
Automorpher
This kidzhao dude from actoys already shared that Titan Class Devastator is based on IDW concept.
BenjaminXavier
That was a single throwaway comment by one guy, translated perhaps with less than perfect precision. Don't put too much stock into it.
Wh33ls
Ok, let me get this straight.
There's a Devastator for cw, G1 reissue Trypticon, Insecticons gift set, and a Blitzwing/Astrotrain 2 pack, the just released MP Skywarp and MP Exhust later. Is this what TT was talking about, about this is the year of the Decepticons?! That's just horse shit!
Don't get me wrong, all of this that we know about that's coming down the pipeline is awesome, and I'm definitely gonna buy them all, especially I will be able to own my own Tryticon, Blitzwing, and Astrotrain. But I thought TT was talking strickly about just the MP line?
BWfan86
this. A lot of posters on here complain that kids are being "dumbed down" by the simplification of transformations or the gimmicky simplified toys, but in all honesty when I was a kid, I had some of the most fun with the simple transformers like the micromasters. They are easy and quick to transform and dont "get in the way of" the imagination or play time.
Basically, I think there is a place for different complexities of TFs (and different lines geared toward different age groups) despite all the bitching and moaning from some collectors on here about "Hasblo" destroying the franchise
Friendross
is that where he keeps telling not me?

Hmmm, wondering if they're waiting to get their hands on Apollyon, see if they can get any good ideas. Apollyon definitely has better legs and a better scaled fusion cannon.
Ra88
MP-5 was literally designed in two weeks though. If this time around they don't rush things, I think it'll be fine.
Dean ML
Couldn't agree more. Take the time to get him right! At this point fans will settle for nothing less than perfection in an MP Megatron. Rather have him perfect in a year or two than tomorrow and lacking. Maybe this time they'll give the designers more than two weeks turnaround.
Afterburner
We might want to keep in mind that considering how many of you now seem to hate MP-5, Megatron v2 may not be the easiest MP to design. Sometimes things take longer to get right and I am sure they will want to get him right if and when they do him. No do-overs this time.

I remember as a kid doing battle as transformers with friends, that unless it was a minibot or simple transformation, we RARELY transformed toys during actual imagination sessions, it took too long… And this was back in the 80s! Might have been the sheer numbers (I had all of 1984 and 1985 releases, and quite a few of '86 and '87), but it slowed down the imagination process. The only time most transformers were transformed was during times of boredom… It was the equivalent of the rope/nails puzzles or a rubik cube. I can definitely see easier transformations appealing to imaginative kids. I, personally, plan to buy Tankatron and Combinewithus Prime for my boys.
I've been hearing that rumor since the first leaked info of mp10. Drinking from the ocean is less salty than that rumor.
Monari
We know, but you have to join the VIP section of the forums to find out more.
Weremole
We'll know in a few weeks.
Any worry for Prowlastator is unfounded though. Nobody has also ever mentioned "IDW style" in any of the reports.
Lazerwave
We are getting Prowl somewhere in the CW series. We don't know where or what.
Automorpher
We know its 6 Voyagers done in IDW style.
My question is:
Are we getting the original 6 Constructicons or a team that now comes with Prowl?
Lazerwave
Sorry, I don't think so.
Automorpher
Are there any additional new information/updates posted with regards to Titan Class Devastator?
If so, do share here, thanks!
