Titans Return display at NY Toyfair

Well Hasbro has unveiled their new Titans Return line and I must say wow. Check out all the pics here courtesy of TFW2005.

List of reveals include:

Titans Return Chaos on Velocitron set (formerly, Speed set) – Quickswitch, Nautica, Fastlane, Optimus Prime (Generation 2), Rodimus Prime
Siege on Cybertron set – Pounce, Metalhawk, Tidal Wave, Magnus Prime (Ginrai), Thunderwing
Deluxe class Twin Twist
Deluxe class Windblade
Legends class Cosmos
Legends class Seaspray
Titan Master Ramhorn
Voyager Blitzwing
Voyager Octone
Leader class Overlord

I'm confused, Cosmos is just a reissue without his targetmaster? :confused:

Can't wait to get Overlord, Seaspray, Topspin, Twin Twist, Metalhawk, Pounce and Fastlane! :D

I hope some of those in the packs get individual releases too. For instance I want Pounce and Metalhawk is a maybe but could happily skip the rest of that set (I might have wanted Tidal Wave but don't like the colour) . I wouldn't mind the Velocitron set but don't really want the Prime.

Looking forward to Octane, Blitzwing, Overlord, Ramhorn, Seaspray and of course Trypticon! Seaspray is a little blockier than I'd like but still a must have :D

The sets are also exclusives. Chaos is TRU and Siege is BBTS!

The green seems to be darker and there is red on his neck instead of white. There were distribution issues with Swerve and Cosmos, maybe that's why?

I get most of my figures from BBTS. Typically that's the set I don't want :rolleyes:

Looks like I'll be calling on people that live near a TRU to go hunting for me later in the year

A few nice pieces, a few would-get-it-but-already-have-the-character-s, and a lot of not-interesteds.

I really can't help thinking that Nautica would have been better off as an extensive TR-Windblade retool. As it is she kind of just looks like a lilac Blurr with stumpy VTOL wings.:(

My wallet is going to be screaming "Nooooooooo" lol. The only one I won't be getting is Hasbro's TakTom version of Prime. Everything else is a given :D

Can't wait to get me some Seaspray action! Overlord is pretty average though. Glad I got Carnifex :)

There's my shopping list :)

I'm happy because we're finally getting Pounce (and hopefully Wingspan will follow). Pounce And Wingspan were my first ever Transformers as a child. But dammit, the only way I can get Pounce is by buying that uber-expensive Seige on Cybertron set :(

EDIT: Other reactions:
- Ah, so we are getting another Windblade.. Doesn't look too shabby.
- I missed out on Generations Cosmos and Payload, so I don't actually mind a cosmos re-pack.
- I know the original G1 toy Blitzwing's face was purple, but Da-yum!

Well i'm disappointed that unless TT releases a bunch of the characters from the two sets individually I'm going to have to buy the sets with characters I don't want.

But it is worth it for that diecast Rodimus Star. :D

Titans Return is getting better and better!

It's a shame that they kept Optimus' shoulder pylon thingies on Octane, which are sculpted after Prime's ear pieces, but everything else on him is perfect. The colors are just spot on!

Overlord is everything I expected him to be, so no real surprise here.

Twin Twist is really smart re-mould, and he looks fantastic. So does Seaspray.

A bit disappointed that they did at least give Quickswitch and new beast head.

I'll bite and get G2 Prime too. It's a real fun mold.

As for the clones, I'll hold out for individual releases. And it'll be illogical for them to not do Cloudraker and Wingspan:D It'll be interesting to see the identical bot modes realized with modern engineering.

Well I know who I'm getting:

Deluxe class Twin Twist
Legends class Seaspray
Voyager Blitzwing
Voyager Octone
Leader class Overlord

Probably also maybe Magnus Prime and Tidal Wave as well. Hope hasbro makes a god bomber

Meh, I'm sure TT or Hasbro Asia will release a slightly-less-expensive 2-pack set, and/or there'll be a 2-pack reissue somewhere down the line.

Pretty cheeky of Hasbro with that Magna Prime though.:D Hope they do an Apex Armour release as well.

Yeah I'm just going to go ahead and buy them all :p

I do hope we get the Velocitron set, but the Prime is fugly. I only want Nautical, who looks divine.

The two exclusive multi-packs are a surprise, for being so big - each has a Leader, a Voyager, 2 Deluxes and a Titanmaster - the price will be enormous... especially here if we get them. They have the equivalent of about AU$210 worth of toys in them, and if TRU or Myer get them, expect $300 just because of the size of the box.

It's just disappointing that each one looks to have a new mould in the set, as well as exclusive characters. Particularly the Clones - if their partner is released at regular retail, the Clone in each of these sets can't remain exclusive to these sets, or else fans will be really upset. I guess Hasbro don't need to worry about bad decisions now that they don't have to face the wrath of fans anymore with no more BotCons.

It also amazes me that Hasbro have done another big boxset, after poor sales of the big 2014 Movie boxsets and the similarly sized Autobot Movie 5-pack from last year, that never showed up in most countries, and was hard to find in Asia and America.

And one is a BBTS exclusive? They aren't the big online source they used to be for Transformers, now that there is a lot more competition compared to when they last had exclusives (Seacons and Battle Unicorn). And neither of those sold out, prompting them to heavily discount them in the end. I can't see them taking on too many, and if they do, they are likely to be significantly overpriced, to the point of still sitting on them a couple years later.

Pounce and Fastlane appear to be legend class and also new molds, which is a little surprising. The pics supplied to TFW have Legend in Fastlane's name, but interesting/teasingly call Pounce Cloudraker in error. Both look, in the renders at least, simple enough to be Legends size.

hmm im not sure i'm really into many of these. Blitzwing looks kinda weird in tank mode with all the jet bits right at the front. Nautica doesn't look much like the comics either. :/

They do look slightly smaller than the Deluxe toy next to them on the shelf, but I think they look bigger than Legends class, and I wonder if they are intentionally between the size classes so that they would be later sold as 2-packs at the Voyager price point. (in America, Legends are $10, Deluxe are $17 and Voyagers are $25... so two toys between Legends and Deluxe would equal a Voyager retail price)

They can be folded back at the cost of articulation, and the head pylons can be shoved down.

Otherwise waiting to see what takara does, am NOT a fan of the stickers, but the rest...is good

A friend of mine who was at the Fair described the Clones as being the size of a Commander Class figure (which is about the size of a Generations Legends figure). Sucks that the Clones have no weapons though. :(

Trypticon actually really appeals to me.

Honestly I'm kind of underwhelmed by the rest of it, especially the deluxes. That said we've not yet seen the rumoured Misfire (from Triggerhappy).

I've got a bunch of weapons not in use by other bots atm, so I'm sure I've got something that'd work for them.

I'm looking forward to much of this (though my bank account surely isn't)

That Windblade looks like a pretty sweet upgrade, and most of the figures in those box sets...

This video shows Trypticon's eating gimmick. Unlike Combiner Class Devastator, Trypticon swallows!

I thought that Fastlane looked a bit simplistic for a Deluxe Class, almost a mirror of the G1 toy. To be honest I thought Pounce was just a retool of Wolfwire.

A shame they won't scale with the rest. Oh well, Fastlane will scale well with TT Override I guess

I have been in Melbourne on a boys trip so I have totally missed all the excitement... :eek::eek::eek: I cant believe all of the reveals, these are amazing and alot of unexpected surprises.

Not that I could see.
We didn't get a lot of details on them actually, as we don't even have the names of their heads yet either.
