View Full Version : Titan Wars to be called Titans Return?

We all saw the (accidental?) reveal of the Titan Wars banner at BotCon this year, with the word Titan Wars all over it, along with a number of unknown toy outlines.

Last week a Trademark was filed in America (http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/09/30/another-new-hasbro-transformers-trademarks-revealed-titans-return-302121) in the Action Figure category, of "Titans Return".

So... did they have trouble registering Titan Wars, or did feedback prompt them to not include "Wars" in the toyline name.
(it can get negative publicity for sounding too violent, and some countries might have interest groups lobby against it's import into the country - like Beast Wars needing to be called Beasties in Canada)

Next month is the NYCC in America, and in recent years we've had some decent new reveals... so fingers crossed that we get a teaser of the new Titan Whatevers.

perhaps they decided that having another line with wars in the title was getting a bit boring, and since the Titans have featured fairly heavily in comics in the last couple years, Titans Return feels like it makes a bit more sense to me.

I reckon they'd have troubles in Canada as well, wasn't Beast Wars renamed Beasties or something to remove Wars from the title?

What'd they do for Combiner Wars?

Are we sure this is related to Hasbro's upcoming TF toyline? It could be related to a completely different toyline - maybe The Teen Titans or something.

From the link that I forgot to put in the first post (it's there now)...

Category: Toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms

That means it is likely (but not guaranteed) for Transformers.

After having to rename Beast Wars as Beasties, Hasbro Canada decided not to apply the same nomenclature for Titan Wars. ;) :p
