Titan Wars!

[Trent]

So, what actual news do we have in all this? Do we have more than just a wireframe poster to go off?

[BigTransformerTrev]

Fortress Maximus... as long as he is a headmaster I will be happy...

Yep - pretty sure he is going to have Cerebros and possibly Spike too

Sorry Trev, I bet some of them will find something to complain about!

Heh - very true

Bring on Animated Omega Supreme!!

I'd be happy for either an Animated or a proper WFC Omega. Perferrably both

That's all at this stage, I think there are going to be more announcements at SDCC

The wireframe images of what appears to be Blaster forming some kind of base or station is intriguing. Add to that, this from the Wiki, about the Combiner Wars epilogue issue.

Galvatron corrects her; it is not for himself he asks, but for the sake of Soundwave's dream. He tells Arcee about the construction of the Decepticons' Jupiter commune

If we're getting a Blaster, I wouldn't be surprising anyone by saying that there would be a 90% chance of it being retooled into a Soundwave.

Add to that, Thunderclash and the Vis Vitalis. He integrated his systems into an entire ship -- so why couldn't Blaster and Soundwave incorporate their systems into an entire station?

Am I making sense?

And then, of course, we have to look at the mythological meaning of the word Titan. Gods, essentially. And wouldn't you know it, they had a war of their own -- the Titanomachy, or, Titan War.

It involved the Olympian gods, of which there were 12 (sometimes 13, when Hades is included...), and an imprisoned cyclops being released.

Here's a little tidbit from Wikipedia:

... and the Cyclopes forged for Zeus his iconic thunder and lightning.

We all know of a certain cyclops (currently imprisoned in the IDW-verse) who has an inventive knack.

So there are a few parallels between that and the recent inclusion of the 13 into the IDW-verse.

Well if its gods we could hope for another Primus and Unicron

I think they will probably go with the IDW use of Titan though - in other words 'Giant Fraggin Bot!'

[Verno]

Headmasters aren't Titans in the IDW universe, though. But, if we could Scorponok's head inside a dead Metrotitan's body, then we're getting somewhere!

Sorry - I meant Hasbros toy classifications

I want a shockwave that is the head to the necrotitan

Primus needs to be made and retooled into gobotron

[CoRDS]

bring on Titan class tripticon and unicron

Tidal wave is a straight retool of metroplex

new head
remove the little city kibble

and now you have tidal wave with legends starscream as ramjet (perhaps a dual homage)
