    Losing track of all the Titans Returns rumors flying around? I was! So i compiled a checklist with all the info from the awesome Transmissions Podcast thread , Mr. Chaos's retail computer listings & other leaks and official/unofficial confirmations.

    This seems like an unbelievable amount of product (22 deluxes!!! ~ i guess CW had 24 though...), especially considering 2017 is a movie year. It looks like they will keep Generations Titans Return running alongside Movie 5 product this time, and replace RiD'15 at retail, as the movie lines have historically had the "kiddie" sub lines that are currently ongoing in RiD (1&3 step changers and the like).

    Big Update 09-14-2016!!!! Adding the "Take this with a major grain of salt!" rumors flying around the front page, apparently originating from Chinese social media. While some of this seems a little to good to be true (not enough obvious repaints, lol, but then i suppose Getaway wasn't obvious either) none of it also seems that far outside the realm of possibility either.

    Adding notes to the ones revealed via Computer Listing from Mr. Chaos, as those have a significantly higher chance of coming true (the only time in recent years i can recall something showing up in retail listings that didn't come out was the Brawn/Gnaw wave of T30 Legends)

    "Speculative" are mostly things i am adding because they make sense/are they way of things (i.e. if they make Rumble, there's a pretty dang good chance they'll be doing Frenzy) but some are also things that seem murkier from the Transmissions rumors ala Voyager Broadside (<-- who is no longer murky!)

    Let me know if i missed anything and i'll be happy to add it!

    Unknown:
    see these threads (one, two) for reference: may be 2017, may be 2018, may be exclusives, may be "he told me!"

    Flywheels
    Shockwave
    Abominus
    Predaking
    Landcross
    Windcharger
    Blood
    Darkwing
    Dread wind
    Black Zarak
    Carnivac
    Dinobot

    Power of the Primes:
    These rumors originated from 4 Chan, so take with an entire salt lick: i wouldn't even bother posting these, except for the fact that they largely seem fairly sensible/logical/likely ~ i guess they were posted a couple times the last two weeks, but i just saw the new thread today.

    Prime Wars next Gimmick is toys to life. Download an App and scan the card that comes with the figure onto your iphone. Play "stages"(it's unkown what type of game it's going to be) using said character.

    Titanmasters will be replaced by equally smaller guys. They won't be headmasters but closer to Micromasters that become target masters or weapon platforms.

    Legends will still be able to cart the tiny men around

    Prime Wars (<--probably means Power of the Primes) will still be mostly 88-89 crew. (<--hopefully meaning we get to the Headmaster Juniors)

    Things like Turbomasters will show up from time to time.

    All 5 Dinobots will be made as well as the remaining 3 insecticons will appear. (<--seems like a no-brainer, as they an Shockwave are some of the last iconic G1ers that haven't got any sort of update outside of Grimlock)

    Ransack will show up towards the end of TR as will Barrage.
    Venom will either be Wave 6 of TR or Wave 1 of PW. He's like Buzzsaw in CW where he may not be able to fit into wave 1. (<--this seems less likely to happen in Titans Return as we already have names in place for at least some of Wave 5, but i still believe it will happen eventually, at least the ones that are easy repaints of the existing Insecticons)

    Scorponok will be Next Titan after Trypticon (<--and I bet be a retool thereof)

    TR Arcee is just a repaint of TR Loudmouth (<--I would assume/hope with a new face)

    Looking good!

    If all those Deluxes pan out I'm going to be a happy camper.

    Legends Rumble is totally confirmed.

    Also, anything with more sources than That Guy's Podcast is listed here as well.

    Sounblaster and Twincast are Soundwave and Blasters titanmasters. So I doubt they'll tag black Soundwave or blue Blaster with those names.

    Very good,but you forgot Frenzy/Rumble (red one), under confirmed legends. Then under speculated you can put Frenzy/Rumble (blue one).

    Also Broadside should be considered Tidal Wave repaint.

    i honestly will be pretty shocked if before it's all over we don't get at least 1 of those guys between Hasbro/Takara, but that's why it's under "speculative" ~ but I take your meaning!

    the podcast peeps didn't know, speculated a new character. Seems like its a natural "for trademark purposes" rename of Thunderclash, but there's not really an appropriate mold. Would also make sense as a GI Joe homage repaint of Hardhead, but we heard there'll be a Quake redeco of that mold.

    I thought Thunderclap was a Titanmaster, not a deluxe figure.

    You can also add under Titan class Trypticon as "Speculated". He's confirmed, we just don't know if he'll be under the Titans Return sub-brand or the Prime Wars pt. 3 sub-brand.

    yeah, that's exactly why i left him out. but i might go ahead toss him in there, but my suspicion is he'll kick off whatever PWIII ends up being (since he'll probably be a Christmas 2017 release which should be when the next line shows up with wave 1 2018 appearing in late Nov/early Dec ala Combiner Wars.

    If he's released like every other titan, he'll have the branding of whatever line is going on during summer 2017 (Titans Return) and start trickling out late summer with the intention of being on shelves until christmas. Add to that the fact that his poll was all Titans Return branded, I'd say it's a very safe bet he'll be under TR.

    Well, so far, Titans have been released Q3 (August). Not sure why we'd assume Trypticon would buck the trend unless we think:

    1. Titans Return will continue the 18 month release window other Generations sub-brands usually get.

    AND

    2. Prime Wars Pt.3 is Beast related, meaning Trypticon would be an obvious fit.

    It could happen. But if Hasbro chooses to hold fast to the traditional Q3 release date, it might not. It's tough to say one way or the other...but my gut says there's a 60% chance Trypticon is a Titans Return figure...meaning there's at least a 40% chance he's a "Beast Battles Whatever" figure as well, just because Hasbro would like to use both Q3 and Q4 to move a Titan class product before the holiday.

    ha ha, i can agree with all that!

    only other possibility i could see would be the "tease" whatever the new line is on Trypticon's packaging.

    If he's released under Titan's Return (and now that i just typed the line name, it kinda seems even more likely he would be :D ) you think they go double headmaster like Fort Max?

    I think Full Tilt is the Titanmaster. Trypticon itself won't have a removable head.

    I'm hoping they just add a Titanmaster seat to that cannon on Trypticon's forehead and leave it at that.
