Titans Return Toyline: Rumors, Speculation, Ideas etc

[Paulbot]

There is a logic to having a Pounce/Rampage and Wingspan/Divebomb share molds if repaints will help all four get made.

Saw a suggestion on Twitter that the new Blurr and Brainstorm toys could be made into Fastlane and Cloudraker. Was going to digibash it but haven't had time.

Also saw the new Chromedome digibashed as Pretender Bumblebee's shell. Very clever.

Seibertron has quoted someone's listing (from somewhere unknown), of some possible future items for Titans Return...Hot Rod is a headmaster who looks G1 in vehicle mode. Robot mode looks vaguely IDW to me. Small waste. Long thinghs. Big hexagonal kneepads with vents in them.

Has this Titan Master Hot Rod rumour since been confirmed or rejected?

Is there a titan master thread?

Anyway, is there a list of the special abilities each titanmaster nebulon has?
Can't find one anywhere

Thankyou

Maybe on the TFWiki.
If not, you might need to google-search photos of the card backs, and compile the abilities.

Just saw that Krok will be a headmaster using the Skullcruncher mould. Got me thinking, what else can be done? I know a few folk here have discussed turning Topspin into Misfire. What about turning Weirdwolf into Carnivac? Thoughts anyone?

Well, I have a few...

Topspin has everything in place to be Misfire as I mentioned elsewhere. Others say Slugslinger and it could work too. And not forgetting retooling him as Twin Twist too.

Weirdwolf as Carnivac would make sense... maybe even Catilla too? Or reversed back to Cybertron Snarl! Beast Wars Wolfang? Or something else from 1987: Pounce

Remold it greatly to make a Wingspan? Or make Wingspan from Mindwipe? Not sure who else Mindwipe would be retooled as. Ratbat? Wingthing? BW Sonar? BM Nightscream?!

Blurr and Brainstorm as Fastlane and Cloudraker are calling out to happen. And once Blurr's got those wheels, make him Sureshot too.

Highbrow as Pretender Sky High? Action Master Overrun? Pretender Crossblades? Wouldn't mind seeing him in Micromaster Blazemaster's colours!

Kup looks set to be Crosshairs. We know Megatron's going to be Blitzwing (and maybe Flywheels?!) and G2 Prime's going to be Octane. Broadside could do with a Tidalwave colour scheme.

After I got Twinferno I realised he could be remade into Grotusque and Fangry. And from there to Cutthroat and Pretender Monster Wildfly. And without the wings he could be made a few other stand-up monsters like Blot, Rippersnapper, Skalor, and Overbite!

That makes little sense considering that G1 Krok's faux-kibble suggested that he would transform into some sort of aircraft or spaceship, and indeed the Club Exclusive redeco of Generations Megatron has him transforming into a stealth bomber, which looks pretty good (too bad it's not a mass retail release figure). Gatoraider, Krok's AM partner, transforms into a crocodilian robot... but that's not Krok. It'd be like say having a CHUGUR Grimlock that transforms into an anti-tank battery just because his AM partner did. Or a Jazz who transforms into a rocket-powered skateboard. The most obvious redeco would be Megalligator.

It would look nothing like Carnivac though. I'd get it for the same reason that I got CHUGUR Huffer and Pipes, because they're the only CHUGUR versions of those characters... but still feels force. The wolf head would need to be retooled because that visor-eye on it is quite distinctive. The shape of the robot mode would be completely different though. Speaking of which, good luck with that.

[Deonasis]

I do want Misfire (as you may know) but I hope he is massively different from Topspin. I think I'd like the Triggerhappy legs on him better.

[GoktimusPrime]

Topspin should be retoolable as Twin Twist. And I think that they should be able to develop a shared base mould for Misfire and Snapdragon.

I think it'd be a bit of a waste not to re-use the Wolfwire mold. I don't know anyone else in G1 who turns into a wolf (besides Carnivac, Fangry and some Beast Wars characters). If they do Carnivac, it might not look or transform like his original self, but then G1 Quake didn't look like Hardhead either, so I think there still hope for a Carnivac.

I've been thinking about the new Perceptor. They'll eventually have to re-use that mold for something, like how they did with Hardhead to make Quake. But no one else turns into a Microscope (besides Magnificus - who's the most obscure of the obscure). There have however been instances (namely Botcon 2010) when Hasbro announced they'll do a Reflector using the RTS Perceptor mold (but didn't). I think the new Perceptor could be redeco-ed into Reflector.

It's about time. Reflector has existed since 1984, and he's still not gotten his own general retail release figure (I don't count the one that came with Shrapnel). If Characters like Alpha Trion and Sentinel Prime can get a Titans Return toy; there's hope for Reflector too
