    There are some Titan Masters / Head Masters they haven't used. The most peculiar omission being Wilder / Fangry. Since it's available and he appeared in some comics.

    Encore God Fire Convoy, will have come out 5 years after the last Encore release (Fortress Maximus in March of 2013).

    If he is indeed under the Encore label (and this information isn't preliminary).

    I've been waiting for a Fire Convoy reissue so I'm quite pleased with this. Price might be killer though, I'm expecting something around 100-150 bucks. Still want it though!

    Also this is probably why Fire Convoy's VA was in the booth, new voice clips and sounds.

    And lastly... Targetmaster Jumpstarters. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.

    I'm not opposed to the Targetmasters themselves but they will probably cut the regular weapons for this :(

    Yep, I'm one of those who got into TF in the late 90s and early 2000s and missed out on both RID Optimus Prime and Ultra Magus, so it's a definitely a warm welcome.

    Fangry is used as Noble/Savage with Voyager G2 Megatron.

    If I remember correctly, Fire Convoy is about Voyager sized, Super Fire Convoy and God Magnus are Leader sized, and their combined form is the size of a CW/UW combiner.

    I believe Powered Convoy was referring to the Titan/Headmaster and not the TR vehicle/beast weapon.

    So I was thinking about this on the way to work. You could just use the Nightstick that came with Million Publishing Artfire, but then you'd have another Targetmaster character without a partner.

    The lack of Wilder is even stranger since they're going out of their way to make the other two Headmasters Jr as new molds but not the LAST ONE who doesn't even need a new mold. Maybe they'll surprise us and make a full Fangry/Wilder figure remolded from Doublecross and include Fracas :lol

    Cool! Since Hasbro & American stores don't want me to be able to find/buy Titans Return anymore I'll just buy all the Legends versions which are better anyway. I should have skipped TR & only collected Legends right from the beginning.

    Yes, exactly. Thank you Type-R.

    There are several Titan Master vehicles / animals that haven't been used. Ptero in both cases. Sawback's lion animal. There are obviously some other Titan Masters (figures not the vehicles / animals) such as Shuffler, and the various redecos with new heads that Takara didn't bother with (Krok, Getaway, etc) or did their own heads (Highbrow, Skullcruncher, Kup, etc).

    He does have Sparks though, so he wouldn't be completely alone. :) 

    I'm secretly hoping for this myself.

    Maybe Million Publishing will release Wilder with some bigger figure through their upcoming Generations book?

    Is this the first time we've seen a non-G1 figure in the Encore line?! If so, Takara, can we please please PLEASE get some Encore Beast Wars figures? Some Transmetals that won't flake and a TM Megatron and Magnaboss Silverbolt that won't crumble into powder would be amazing!

    Only with way more heft and bulk because they're a lot of packed parts.

    I fucking love God Fire Convoy, I still have my RID Omega Prime. I might just get this just 'cuz, but I know it's going to be super expensive.

    It's cool seeing the Encore label back and for something non-G1. I hope going forward they use "Encore" for a non-movie best of line with other past figures from Car Robots, BW, etc., and maybe figures that were cancelled for some reason or other in those lines.
