Galvatron, Hardhead & Skullcruncher look bloody good
So Good!!! OMG :eek::eek::eek::eek:
I am totally nerding out at work :p
Me too! Gotta wait for lunchtime to have a proper look rather than a sly look at non-work stuff, but what I see looks pretty goodQuote:

Wow they look amazing.
I noticed the Decepticon cassettes in the Blaster photos. Hope this means we get a huge headmaster version of Soundwave too!
Wow, the new figures look awesome! I don't care what anyone says, I want the Blaster so badly :p
Galvatron looks very nice, and Hardhead looks great too. Hasbro is really stepping up their game for the new releases. Hopefully they can keep this up next year!
Skullcruncher comes as a big surprise from left field - but very impressed all round with this group of figures - great stuff! :D
So many characters I've wanted in the what they're meant to be! A proper Skullcruncher (even looking better than FP's) and Voyager scaled Galvatron + Blaster! :eek: So much G1 Season 3 goodness!
RID Decepticons look great too. Still haven't watched the cartoon, but am keen on getting these guys to be used as grunts!
Blaster looks brilliant. The only thing I can say is they missed a great opportunity for him to - instead of turning into a battle base bristling with guns - turn into a rock show stage with mikes and spotlights instead. That would have been very cool and in shape could have been pretty much the same as his battle base mode is.Quote:

While I do like both Blaster & Galvatron, im not sure I like that both Are Headmasters.
A good point - I'm indifferent to the gimmick as long as it hasn't affected their distinctive aesthetics. Judging from the pictures, I think I can finally set aside Device Label Blaster as his proportions has always been hard to reconcile into my classics collection.Quote:

titans return is part of a multi year, multi platform phase for the brand and there will be a sentinal prime figure. (sorry if already posted)
So much yes here
HOLY SH*T!!!! BLASTER AND GALVATRON FOR THE WIN!!!!!!
I'm impressed. Too bad I'm bowing out of classics. It's a great time to be a collector!
(I'm making an exception for Sky Lynx though ;))
Not sure how keen I am on a headmaster Galvatron or Blaster, I'd rather them use the gimmick on re-making G1 toys then applying it to non G1 headmasters, but that's probably the purist/nostalgiac in me :p
Saying that, Hardhead and Skullcruncher are great! And really glad they are finally adding to the Decepticon RiD 2015 warrior class roster, it's been pretty bare with only Steeljaw there to lead his little one step army
Hmmm... to snap up Galvatron right off the bat, or to wait for the inevitable toy colours repaint? Decisions, decisions...
I've been waiting for a decent Generations Galvatron that's worthy of the character since before the awful Universe version was released. I currently have Superlink Galvatron General acting as a "stand-in" for him. But now the problem is that I've grown to live Galvatron General so much over the years that I don't want to part with him. I suppose that's a good argument to wait for the repaint.
Blaster looks cool too. I particularly like Skullcruncher. But this might be another year where I'm not willing or able to resist buying into the line, like with Combiner Wars.
It appears to be an amalgam of both American & Japanese headmaster lore in that the heads are not human or nubelon, there are transformers themselves. But the body is also a distinct character, not an unformed transformer with no personality.
Good lord does that Skullcruncher crap all over the Fansproject one (i say with disappointment cause i really like that line). Hardhead looks great too, now i'll just cross my fingers they scale with my FP versions :o
Galvatron looks good too... is it leader or voyager size? I'm gonna assume that's a test bed for MP Galvy (kind of following the MP/Generations Ultra Magnus lead, but in reverse). Bring it on!!
So awesome.
Just had a quick look during lunch break. If I'm not mistaken, that little grey figure next Galvatron is his headmaster, who totally looks like Megatron. AND I think it transforms to a Megatron head, and the Galvatron mask is a separate piece that is attached to the body...:eek:
I love how lame Stripes' (I assume that's Stripes) vehicle mode is. He looks like a paper aeroplane.
Who know what's weird? Over the past week I've toyed with the idea of making custom Skullcruncher, Hardhead and a leader-ish sized Galvatron... and then this pops up. :eek:
Skullcruncher looks near perfect, colours spot on. Same goes for Hardhead.
Galvatron's a beefy dude but he looks ready. Alt mode is spot on, as is the arm cannon. I presume the shoulders aren't fully rotated over those otherwise annoying Decepticon symbols on the side of the torso. I hope he's not that big a leader. I reckoned he'd be a leader, because having a voyager Galvy and a leader Megs would be kind of weird.
Blaster is just pure gold. Alt mode looks nice, as does base mode. Rewind is great too.
That would have been fantastic! Would have put Animated Soundwave on that stage.Quote:

All this new stuff looks awesome but most I'm Interested seeing more of the nightbeat headmaster. Hope they show off some more stuff soon!
The only thing I find with Thunderhoof is from a farming point of view he doesn't make any sense. I had assumed when watching the cartoon he was some kind of snow plow to begin with but the toy shows that he is a farm tractor. However the rake or plow (not sure which it is supposed to be) should be on the back, not the front. You only put a fork or a bucket on the front of a tractor. If it was a bigger styled tractor like a harvester you could be a thresher or a combine on the front. Where has the reality in regards to giant-alien-transforming-robots farming alt-modes gone? Fie I say!Quote:

More headmasters will always be cool.
But I really, really don't like Galvatron's arms. They just so hollow and oddly proportioned.
Does Galvatron have a third mode? It looks like there is some sort of cockpit hanging off his back in robot mode and I can't see what happens to it in vehicle mode. I'm wondering if there might be some sort of piloted space cruiser mode as a homage to Energon Galvatron.

Blaster looks amazing! Bit suprised with Galvatron bring a voyager. Guess he will scale better with Cyclonus this way but was hoping for a leader sized version to go with leader megs.

One of those little "titan masters" Terribull (headmaster head's) has a very Optimus look. I wonder if we will be getting a Croctimus repaint of Skullcruncher?
yeah it is, you can see it in the official cg imagesQuote:

I reckon that's where the headmaster sits in alt-modeQuote:

Makes more sense than the G1 giant space handgun mode.Quote:
