    I'm just going to say that Trigger Happy looks fantastic and I will be picking him up for my Hard Head to do battle with.

    Carry on.

    Also, if a kid HAS seen Masterforce, and then looks at this, then there is a good chance the kid will be sorely disappointed, as my kid was, but again thats because he has just finished MF in the last week and has the g1 toy. If kids see the toys on tv they want them to look pretty close to what they see.

    The odds of a kid having seen Masterforce are a factor of ten less the already low odds a kid has seen the G1 show.

    The odds of a kid seeing the G1 show are not all that low. It's been rerun all over the place and pops up again when you least expect it, although admittedly, Hasbro shot themselves in the foot taking their shows off Netflix.

    Despite being a headmaster triggerhappy may be the first tr fig i get. I still say they shoulda included power masters and target masters in the titans like. Missed opportunity to be sure.

    If you have a Roku, the Hasbro channel has all the series there for free to stream (with commercial interruptions.)

    Man this wave is shaping up to the best of the series thus far.

    After getting Chromedome a week ago I'm even more excited for Getaway, he looks to be improving on Chromedome.

    Breakaway still looks the weakest of the four. I'm sure Chromedome is a decent mold, but that color scheme doesn't do anything fort me. Its missing a lot of paint that Getaway had, such as his maroon legs. I'm sure Takara will do the figure justice again if they decide to do Lightfoot.

    Trigger happy is such a great mold but I still hate that waxy browny-grey plastic they insist on using on as many bots as possible.

    I love how Triggerhappy can use all of his guns at the same time. Nice design.

    Triggerhappy looks to be made of pure concentrated awesomesauce and win.

    Getaway looks to be made of a poorly chosen mold and limited paint. His face sculpt doesn't even seem that great -- kinda soft and lacking in detail compared to most of the excellent sculpts this line and CW have had.

    It might be a bit too soon but I think Triggerhappy could be remoulded into a new Cyclonus based on his alt-mode shape.

    I'm personally hoping for a new Cybertron/Galaxy Force Starscream though.

    There aren't many Titan Masters with cars as their alternate mode. Chromedome is a better choice than Hot Rod, its just the serious lack of paint that lets him down. But they didn't have to do a Getaway toy, they could have done someone else instead from another mold.

    Yeah, they coulda done anyone actually. Heck they coulda made Armada Sideswipe or G1 Runamuck And/Or Runabout out of those molds.

    Getaway seemed like a natural choice considering him being a headmaster could be the closest thing to him to being a powermaster, That and to tie in with the IDW comics that people enjoy.

    Even though Getaway uses vehicle mode kibble for his chest and legs while Titans Return Chromedome doesn't, there is still much they could have done to transfer Getaway's color scheme onto the Chromedome toy although it won't be a perfect match obviously. Some people may like the new color scheme, but personally I prefer the toys to be as 80s accurate as the mold will allow. I don't need a new Getaway to have his iconic shoulders, but I do need him to have dark grey head, legs and toes, blue arms, and maroon on his lower legs.

    To me those were always wings and not shoulders. That's why I loved him, cos he could fly. You know, in my kid's fantasy.

    I don't understand why they wouldn't reshell Chromedome for Nightbeat and Siren instead of the extremely poor fit of Getaway. (I mean, aside from budgetary restrictions, obviously :p )
