    Alpha Trion looks alright, but Weirdwolf/Wolfwire and Highbrow are the real gems here. Grimlock/Clobber and Brawn being Titan Masters is a little odd in my opinion, but they do look pretty good (well, Brawn's colors are pushing it...) Skytread/Flywheels and Apeface are also appealing.

    Weridwolf/Wolfire looks great, he's got that Transformers Cybertron chunk I love, and he looks really articulated. Highbrow's excellent, surprisingly looking forward to that.

    Alpha Trion looks badass. The only thing I don't love is the visible robot mode thighs but that's kinda a small point.

    I gotta say though, Apeface is the one I probaby want the most. He rides around in a tiny little gorilla, that turns into a spaceship! That's really clever.

    I really love Weirdwolf. Alpha Trion is also neat looking. He's visually distinct from many of his appearances in fiction, but you can also tell it's Alpha Trion.

    Was there a vehicle shown with Clobber? I'm kind of hoping for an orange and black recolor of Crashbash that I can have hang out with Snarl . . .

    I love the Titan Masters! I'm really glad they didn't go the obvious route with those.... *cough*blindbags*cough*

    Don't you think you're pinning that on the wrong people?? The lack of anything that feels "fresh" is largely due to people leaking all this stuff months in advance. You really can't blame Hasbro for sticking to their intended reveal plan.

    Apeface... awwwwwwww. Brawn not so much.

    Wolfwire and Highbrow are so G1.

    Alpha Trion is a mess. Pass.

    So, the only way to get Brainstorm will be the Titan Force set?

    Wow the Saturday reveals are awesome.

    Weirdwolf and Highbrow turned out great. Was hoping to get a peek at the new Brainstorm...but I can wait for it.

    Apeface literally had me grinning ear-to-ear. So cute. Admittedly, I would have preferred a voyager of him and Snapdragon, but who knows....those might end up coming out later.

    I love the ridiculous amount of detail on Alpha Trion. It give him such a distinctive look yet familiar look, which is how I normally picture The Thirteen. Can't wait to get him standing alongside GF Vector Prime.

    All these new figures for the original Headmasters have me longing for a new Scorponok now.......

    Thanks for the pics guys! :D

    I like how the tiny Apeface seems to be a runaway favorite. I need a tiny Apeface on my desk.
    It'll be kind of funny, cause I had a Apeface with no head as a kid, now I'll have a head with no proper body for him to attach to.

    That Alpha Trion is crazy looking. He almost looks like he belongs in a completely different toy line.

    God I hate being broke.

    Hey, Wolfwire's wolf mode head can rotate! Nice! That's one better than Quadruple U. :)

    I think I may actually start buying some of the hasbro retail stuff again with titans return. Can buy 1 off figures here and there that are cool, with no commitment to buying a larger combiner that will likely not be very good, and require a lot of pricey 3P upgrades to make a decent display piece. Plus the little minifigure headmaster and targetmasters always appealed to me.

    So I think I'm down for most of the deluxes and maybe a couple voyagers in this line. They look better than the CW stuff, to me at least. Will have to get a couple in hand and see what my opinion is then.

    Yeah, that's what happened with my CW G2 Menasor. I was waiting and waiting for preorders, and he just started showing up one day. As long as there's enough available for everyone that wants one, I don't care if there's preorders.
