I'd like to see the return of Micromasters. The current Titan Masters are pretty close and Hasbro's bringing back Micronauts, so it'd make sense.

 

It could work with the deluxe price point being a transformers with a small thing, and legends staying as is. Then voyagers and up are bigger things that interact some how, kind of how cyberverse was.

 

I never owned the classics Prime and Megatron, plus the platinum colors just look so g1. Going to be watching for this one.

 

I'm confused. Earlier this year (I believe at NYTF), the release date for Titans Return was listed as "Summer 2016" and I think that July might have even been thrown out as the release date. Online retailers are taking pre-orders with a July estimated ship date. Now, at Botcon, ALL of the figures are shown with a Fall 2016 release date.

When they say Fall 2016, I would assume that they are talking about Wave 2, with Wave 1 scheduled for release in the summer. Or have they pushed back the release of the entire line to allow for the last of the CW figures to be released and then have TR on the shelves in time for Christmas 2016....?

Can anyone shed some light on this for me....?

 

I think Hasbro has always said "Fall 2016" - it's been a general fandom translation of that into summer appearances. Part of it is that the third wave of CW showed up last year in April or May last year and TR wave 1 would be the third 2016 wave. Part of it is that a listed date is usually the "shelves will be populated by" date.

 

Well, there's always pretenders, haha. Smaller robots duking it out over bio-suits is kinda similar to titan masters, though, so maybe they'll bring back real mini-cons. They make for a great blend of micromasters, targetmasters and powermasters and they continue the TM theme of the larger robot being a sort of playset for the smaller robot. There are certainly worse things for the 2017-18 line to be than Armada 2.0.

 

i really want pretenders... please hasbro give us pretenders that are not exclusives!

 

I'm way more into having Pretenders converted into new designs without the shells, like Bludgeon.

 

I think for better or worse you will have to look for a celebration of Beast and IDW within Generations. I don't think they will dedicate a year of a line to either. With that said I think their is potential through repaints and retools.

 

Does anybody know how the new version of Brainstorm will be released. Will he be released individually or in a pack

 

So far he's only exclusive to the SDCC pack, but you can bet that he's being planned for an individual release soon enough. Hasbro wouldn't spend money to do a retool and then make it an exclusive.

Edit: You don't have to post the same question in more than one thread. Just saying.

 

The Hasbro guys at Botcon were adamant that he wouldn't be released on his own. Doesn't mean Takara won't release a Headmasters-anime-accurate version, but in the states, SDCC is it.

 

There probably will be an individual Brainstorm. There are two separate artworks of him, one for the boxset and one presumably for the single release.

 

Has there ever been a figure in Transformers history that has ever been released just once? Are you people insane? Or have you not just been paying attention at all?

 

Sometimes you have to, I didn't want to but I just had to know. All these headmasters look awesome and the guy in the other thread gave a different response than you but similar, thanks though

 

It's weird how the SDCC Brainstorm artwork has him in a different deco than what the toy in the pack had at the show.

also the individual artwork has some black decos on him.
