For our next gallery update, we're bringing you a quartet of galleries - it's a look at Wave 2 of the Titans Return Titan Masters. Here for your viewing pleasure are over 300 images showcasing all that Apeface, Brawn, Clobber, and Skytread have to offer!

Wave 2 of the Titan Masters carry on what was good about the first assortment - these are small, inoffensive, fun toys which work well to supplement the larger toys, and are nice to mess with on your desk in their own right. Clobber (Grimlock) and Skytread (Flywheels) are remolds of Wave 1's Crashbash and Terri-bull, just with new faces for the head forms - I'm particularly happy with how Clobber came out.

Apeface and Brawn are all new to this assortment, and one cool detail is how each one has the original character's robot mode details worked into the little Titan Masters - Brawn even has his original toy head on the Titan Master, though he transforms into the animation version of his head for his Headmaster mode. Apeface's accessory is the best in the assortment, recreating both the jet and the ape of the original Generation 1 toy in faithful detail, while Brawn makes the best gun for the larger toys to wield.

These guys are not flawless - my chief complaint is the Titan Masters are devoid of paint which makes them feel unfinished - though they are lots of fun and for all they can do, you get a fair amount of bang for your buck. Check out the galleries of these four toys to see what you think:

Is there a revision case floating around already? 2x each of Apeface and Brawn popped up on once empty pegs with 2x each of wave one (seemed to make a full case) with no sight of the other two in the wave. Was at a store that I had been frequenting just about every day, so found it strange if they got a case of each and that was what had sold.

 

Nice pics as usual! They definitely look nice.

I myself never saw the appeal of these guys though, not worth the buck I guess. And also I was never a fan of the head swap idea, guess I'm only in for the Legends, Deluxes, & Voyagers so as to fill gaps in my CHUG collection.

I am however a fan that hopefully one day they give Grimlock, Brawn, Apeface, & Flywheels full proper bodies.

 

I want all of Brawn, not just severed head-of-Brawn!

 

And, I'd immediately buy a full-sized Leader class or Masterpiece Apeface. I had G1 Apeface as a kid-- I loved him even though he was ugly. Wish I still had him!

 

Almost wish they would do voyager Apeface and Snapdragon. Could redeco as Optimas Primal and Grimlock, maybe.

 

I've seen Apeface and Brawn a lot but no Skytread and Clobber. Is there a wave 2 revision that excludes those two?

 

At least they made a good effort on Apeface's accessory, since it manages to homage his vehicle and beast mode, and it makes a decent pocket toy. But he deserves a proper triple-changing voyager and so does his pal Snapdragon. Brawn's accessory is OK, I think I'll repurpose the set as Cybertron Overhaul stand-ins. But it begs the question of how did they manage to design and release Brawn as a Titan Master so quickly when they couldn't be bothered to do a proper Legends-scale version? This feels like another kick in the gut (like CW Huffer & Pipes) coming after so many mini-vehicle characters being updated in that scale in the last few years.

Can't wait to find Apeface. Assuming Target ever gets more Titanmasters than that lone Crashbash it's had for a month now...

 

Wait a minute: these guys are Wave 2?

If that's the case I don't think I've seen a wave 1.

 

Shame , I haven`t found Terri-ble or Skythred yet , but I didn`t know they shatted a titan master body , only thought it was the vehicle .... Interesting .

 

I actually found wave 2 first and got Skytread I passed on Apeface at first and then could only find wave 1, then finally found 1.

 

Ok, I'm confused. I put out a case at work that had Nightbeat, Loudmouth, Brawn, and maybe one I'm forgetting. But if Brawn is new to this wave, what wave wasa that?

 

These are great.  

 

I can also confirm that there's definitely a revision to this wave. I picked up Brawn, Apeface, Nightbeat, and Loudmouth over the weekend. Thought it was odd that I found a half set of each of the first two waves, but it gives me hope to find the other two halves in another wave or two.  

Also, great pictures. Can't wait to find the rest of these guys. For now the pictures will do!

 

I found Brawn a couple of weeks ago, but he was all alone.

 

Honestly, this feels as though it's meant to bait third party companies into making bodies for them.

I mean, obviously that's not the case, but this is seriously a lay up for them. There's really nothing you can put them on that won't feel out of place.

 

So this is what they call 'irony'..

 

Him Wheelie. Him my whip.

Or, to put it another way: "Yo dawg, we heard you like Grimlock? So we put a Grimlock in your Wheelie so you can Grimlock while you Wheelie."

 

I got Apeface last night. Super adorkable. I may get Brawny just because they're fun do-nothing pieces. It's like "here's a spare head and targetmaster piece to go with your figure you already bought."

I would agree the 3rd party fanbaiting is on high. But I also would contend that Hasbro is learning from the same groups about how to release something at a price point for cheap, and then hit up with separate accessories later on that equate to the price you would actually pay.
