Titanmaster, dude. Titanmaster.

Man, I actually saw freakin' Combiner Wars toys in my local grocery store. Granted, they only had the deluxes, but still, it's a huge step up.

That's like finding Hobgoblin in their beer section but not in the big supermarkets' import section (which is also something that happened).

How can a Deluxe sized toy be a Titan...?

Stupid brand nonsense.

It can't. It can however be a Titanmaster. See how words are fun?

Shut up you, with your grasp of the English language and clever use of being right.

Wow, it's like the end of every real world conversation I've ever had.

Takara are redoing Ultra Magnus in Diaclone colours, in a move that absolutely nobody could possibly have predicted.

Now we just need James Roberts to come up with a name for the urine coloured Ehobby homage...

Liking that Magnus. Not sure if I'll insta-buy him, but definitely liking it.

I also like Delta Magnus

Looks like those red crosses on his shoulders may be optional...

Dunno if this has already been posted here and I've just missed it, but had to share...

Some Platinum release of Classics Voyager Optimus Prime and Megatron (Nerf gun). I'm guessing the Platinum series has stopped being premium decos and become whatever random colours Hasbro feel like or something, as it looks pretty weird. I mean, they've not bothered painting the side of Optimus' truck mode, and Megatron has red as a main colour. Maybe I just don't know what they're referencing...

Anyway, up for pre-order here if you fancy it, and lots of other images online if you Google it.

I like that it's an option.

...and they're definitely not implying you could just cut the red crosses into the right shape.

That actually looks really good! It's too bad they didn't shorten Computron's antennae to make his head look a bit more like his and a bit less like Superion's, though.

Do we know if any of the limb-bots have new heads? Most of them have passable matches already available for those molds, but it'd still be nice to see at least Nosecone get a new noggin. There does seem to be a lot of remolding going on, what with Nosecone's drill, Strafe's jet parts and Afterburner's front end, so I suppose it's not impossible.

Not going to pay the $150 that local stores seem to want for the combiner box sets, since I could buy four deluxes, a voyager and a legend for around $20 or $30 less than that on their own. But if one of Toys'R'Us's frequent sales comes along while these guys are in stock and I can get them for closer to what they're actually worth, I think I'd be up for it.

Pretty decent. Did I hear that the yellow Cosmos repaint is Scrounge?

Skyquake87 · Post by **Skyquake87** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 8:29 pm

That does look pretty good. *Hopes for Abominus*

So is Afterburner made from Groove?

Yes. Not sure who the little Targetmaster is meant to be, though.

Clay wrote:So is Afterburner made from Groove?

Looks like it! It seems like they added new parts to make him look more futuristic, though.

Doesn't seem likely anymore. Not unless we want Sinnertwin to be a car, Rippersnapper to be a jeep, etc., anyway...

Bum. Stupid "no animals for you" toy making ethos. *shakes fist*
