If he was an individual sure...but if he was made to be part of a combiner team...Silverbolt is the only one I see that nominally fits, unless they did a whole new Voyager...which would be awesome.

Just saying, but if they did beast combiners it'd be inanely easy to make Autobots/Maximals and a new combiner out of them. Razorclaw > Lio Convoy, Headstrong > Rhinox, etc.

How about a repaint of the Predacons as the the Anibots? (from the draft script for the '86 movie).

I think we have enough existing characters to make toys from without going into hypotheticals 9though we did get Op max, Galvatronus, and Skey Reign...so who knows...)

The other I forgot (shame on me) is Raiden. I've seen some good fan kitbashes. I mean when you look at the Alpha Bravo (or any CW deluxe helicopter) take the blade off...and you already have 1/2 a bullet train...I cant imagine it would take too much engineering effort to bring the Trainbots to life...but then again I'm not a toy maker...

The first thing I did when I opened Titans Return Galvatron was kidnap one of Peppa Pig's parents, forcing my niece to chase after him with her new Supergirl figure. Supergirl's heat vision was devastating once I taught my niece how to make the noise.

But Daddy Pig's big tummy!

I really hope Predaking is not just a bunch of repainted vehicles.

He really won't be. If he was going to be we would have gotten him instead of Liokaiser, let's be honest.

Agreed...in addition, although Hasbro influences between the IDW comics are not always absolute...the hinted coming of Onyx Prime in IDW comics no doubt means a lot more beasts will be poping up in the comics next year...Would sure be nice to have some cool toys to go with that

He really strain's the engines. If it'd been Astrotrain flying they'd have kicked Daddy Pig out the air-lock.

So is there a reason why canada keeps getting awesome sales and everyone else doesnt? Other than target cartwheel coupons every few months i havent seen a sale in a very long time. On a side note i really hope carnivac is a new mold and not a repaint of weirdwolf or a stupid titan master, been trying to get a carnivac since i was a kid but have had zero luck. A new deluxe or voyager would be a great fill in.

A year and a half ago, we got a rumour about Predaking.

It was one of those "I know someone who is working at Hasbro and has seen" rumors that have mostly panned out as true, but can be easily spread with no discernable eviidence. Anyway, that rumor pointed to Predaking and Anominus as Platinum sets, like Devy and pretools of each other. I wonder if that is what this is

I think a neat way they could reintroduce pretenders would be making the titan master partners be little human figures with 5 points of articulation (head, arms, legs) and a weapon (3mm holes?) and having a hole where the titan master could plug into filling the figure out using the legs to give a backpack look.

HA! The Deluxes are the same price as the Legends

william-james88 wrote:Thanks N, I will be working on that news post now. In the meantime, here is the pic for us to see here

So......it looks like we're getting a Dreadwing after all

but...wait a minute? BlackZarak? how can this be? I thought we were only getting one Titan Class Citybot per year? & Scorponok isn't out til one of following the years AFTER next year

good to see Snapdragon on that list....as i did ask if we'll ever get him.....although i wonder if he'll come in the same Titan Master size that we got Apeface

also good to see Godbomber on there as well

no sign of Siren, Hosehead Punch/Counterpunch, Doubledealer & Minerva on that list though

some on there we kinda knew already....like Octane, Tidal Wave, Quickswitch, Overlord ect

if they weren't going with a new mold.......then they could've reused the existing CW Swindle/Hound mold for Beachcomber....i s'pose

As noted before, everything Deathsaurus onward is listed as 'unconfirmed' by the source, so take everything Deathsaurus onwards with a few pinches salt more than the others. For the reason you mentioned, BlackZarak is definitely one of the least likely of that lot. Along with Landcross imo.

actually...i've just read on The Allspark...that some are suggesting that Black Zarak may come as a little TM figure(much in the same veign as Apeface ect)

oh...and my Beachcomber remold idea from CW Hound/Swindle....is out the window!(not that they were ever going to go that route anyway) coz apparently....he's Legends Class!

Stuartmaximus wrote:oh...and my Beachcomber remold idea from CW Hound/Swindle....is out the window!(not that they were ever going to go that route anyway) coz apparently....he's Legends Class!

Likely a blue wheelie repaint

And I think a little scorponok TM vehicle would be really cute

(seriously, the animal tm vehicles have just hit it out of the park)

If that is gonna replace a Titan class Scorponok I'm gonna flip my s***.

Why in Primus' name would it? What would imply that at all - they're not even the same character

I meant titan master Scorponok. Not Beachcomber.

Yeah that's who he's talking about. Scorponok and black zarak are different characters

Yeah I know. I think they would leave Scorponok for titan class, and then probably do Black Zarak instead in titan master class. A Titan master Scorponok would just make me question if they're actually gonna release a large Scorpy at some point, or if they are just doing a sick joke just because Scorps didn't win against Trypticon in the vote thing.

So I was looking at my new MTMTE shelf - which includes a really bad knockoff device label Ravage - and looking at Chromedome and Cyclonus next to each other made me realise another reason, among many others, why a Titans Return Cyclonus would not be a good idea.



Unless he gets a voyager/leader-style helmet dealio, this head design just ain't compatible. Probably the reason we got him in CW instead of TR in the first place.

I'm... gonna go out on a limb and guess that isn't really how hasbro handles brand decisions, but I may be wrong

On the other hand, this would be a convenient way to squeeze a profit out of the titan scorps mold earlier than imagined

If that list is legit, then Godbomber is not a surprise given the extensive retail the new Godginrai got. Too bad it won't be compatible with the Hb version.

Maybe they could give him really long arms
