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!

Which ones are you gonna get right away? Are some a bigger priority than others? Let us know. We have reviews up for many toys if your mind isn't made yet, and we have a new one here from StarblightSkylynx featuring Stripes. Remember that this mold will be redeco'd into Ravage later this year.

Alright... that's cool. Kudos artist.
... looking at the perspective here though, does this mean that Fort Max is on Sentinel's side?
... that's a bit scary.

Whats the difference, you can just buy them online and they come to your door, plus its free shipping over 79$ Buy 2 leaders and shipping is free. It could take another month for theseto be at retail, but the boards will still be filled with fellow americans who aleady own them by then.

Looks like he's intentionally hitting buildings with his sword so who knows?

If laserbeak turns into a skateboard, does that make ravage a hoverboard?

That's better than becoming the world's most impractical plane.

Yeah, and people thought it couldn't get worse than Silverbolt... that bar has now been raised
It'd be seriously cool if they had a peg that you could attach to the bottom of the feet of combiner hfg's like rook... combiners on roller skates

Yeah his is pretty bad too, I think the rewind mold is the only one that actually pulls off the three modes well.

Agreed! And unlike the others they arent random at all. One is an homage to the casette and the other homages the classics casettes that were turned into tanks while also homaging G1 casettes that turned into tanks.

That plan works better if you're a completionist - if you only want, say, half of any given wave, then that's problematic, as they end up being marked up more when sold individually. Assuming individual figures were in stock (which they aren't in the places I've looked), deluxe class figures have a have a 27% mark up vs. retail, and Legends and Titans class are as much as 40% over retail. :-/

There are also more images of Hasbro's Computron both combined and seperated as well as more images of the upcoming Power Surge Optimus Prime from the Robots in Disguise line.
There is lots of great stuff below so take a look and let us know what excited you most and if you have learnt anything new.

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

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.

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.

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.
