Soundwave and Blaster look weird with swapped faces.
This is not how you Headmaster.

And that SDCC Windblade isn't really doing it for me. I guess I never got a close look at RiD Windblade. If I don't get that SDCC 3-pack, I think I can rest easy...

It's a cross-company thing. It's a new iteration of Soundwave that transforms into a tablet.
So no, not Vos

There's a PE-DX03 Warden in the glass case over his shoulder.

Not only does he come with the Master Sword, there will also be a poster - just like we saw with the Victorion set - featuring some tasty sword action. Check it out below!
Just a question. Will IDW support a back story for this line? Will this be the "warden" Fortmax we all have come to love? 'cause that image sure is an angry angry 'max!
That illustration doesn't look like Fortmax. It has two antennas on his ears like 'plex. 'max has those horn like things.

Thanks you two. I remember that article now, but couldn't place the figure in only bot mode. (Plus, I like the Vos idea better...)

You went Takara for Prime? Any reason why you preferred the stickers over paint apps? Or is it because you liked the extra microns?

He does not have it. It was shown that the hole and flap are still there, but the gun has been removed

You asked if Titans Return would be given a story in the comic, that's a comic that says "Titans Return" on the cover. You asked if "warden" Fort Max would be used, that's him on the bottom looking over a bunch of dead(?) Titans.

Can anyone make that artwork out as something we've seen before? I can't tell. It's something Titans Return.

Nice to see these side-by-side for a good comparison. The SDCC version has too much dark red for my tastes. The muted gray helps to break up the over-saturation. If you're into the Burning Convoy look, then he is great. But for me, I'm just afraid my eyeballs will catch fire from looking at him for too long.

See, Fun Pub was thinking ahead when they made that Marvel Masterpiece Ratbat.
As for Sentinel vs Sentinel, I wonder why they bothered to make the top of the SDCC version's feet translucent orange like that when the rest of the gray plastic is dark red. I know they can put blocks in the molds to custom color parts, but Hasbro typically doesn't like to do that. Doesn't mater, I'm only interested in Brainstorm and Windblade, he's just an extra.

Aww. They couldn't come up with a new name? Even something like Laypoad or Loadpay?
Posted by Sabrblade on June 24th, 2016 @ 12:14am CDT
It's just the same character. I don't think the toy itself even has a name in the packaging or instructions. The identity of it still being Payload was given at BotCon this year.Gearslide wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It's still just Payload.

But, hey, it's one more new modern day toy for an obscure G1 Micromaster. Not many other Micromasters can brag about having more than one new modern day toy release. Lucky ol' Blast Master.

We don't know yet. Maybe if they get really money hungry, but I think Blaster getting both a retool and a redeco out of both that retool and himself is a bit harder to justify to fans than, say, Nemesis Prime and the seekers...
Posted by Sabrblade on June 24th, 2016 @ 9:25am CDT
Blaster's Titan Master is already named "Twin Cast", so that might be all we get.peaces wrote:are we going to get a twincast redeco of blaster?
After all, we never got a Twincast version of FOC Blaster since a blue Blaster is a already too similar to Soundwave.

Unless they make a Twincast figure with the headmaster called Blaster But really I think with Blaster and Soundwave literally being the same mould this time, a blue Blaster is not likely.

Remember, if you across any toys, help out fellow collectors by updating the Sightings database and flag it up in the forums here. Happy hunting.

TakaraTomy's Twin Cast is even decoed in his signature blue, so they don't seem to have plans either.

Still. Good that we're getting them. I might get Galvatron, Skullcruncher and Hardhead, but given our country's habits of skipping waves (probably exacerbated severely after the Brexit made Britain great again) I won't get my hopes up for any others.

Yeah I'm not entirely sure myself, just something I keep hearing. Something to do with exchange rates.
Of course, you know what being out of the EU means? NO MORE MULTILINGUAL PACKAGING. FULL-LENGTH TEXT BIOS.

Look in the back behind the Hulkbuster Iron Man and behind the My Little Pony packaging.
This person is a toy distributor for Walgreens.
Though, notice that Arcana's name has been changed to something ending in "-slor".

Wow, that takes me back a good 15 years to when they used to sell tf's, he'd be super over-priced if that was the case though, they have horrid mark-ups
