    If I was only going to buy two, I'd buy Blurr and Wolfwire, and Hardhead and Skullsmasher would be my second choices..

    Galvatron and Astrotrain give you extra play value with their third modes so they aren't bad choices, particularly if you're not a fan of the beast modes

    Is Wolfwire the new Hasbro name for Weirdwolf? I haven't seen any reviews for him yet.

    It is, he's not out yet I think but I found a pictorial review here: http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...olfwire/36249/
    From just pictures I prefer my Fansproject not-Weirdwolf, but Wolfwire is not without his charms and since he wont be too expensive I'll probably pick one up

    Well since it's just 2 from the line, if im reading it correctly. Why dont you get Fort Max and wait a bit coz there's going to be the upcoming Sixshot figure.

    Ohhh Sixshot sounds exciting... but I'm not too impressed with Fort Max, TBH. I like Cerebros, but other then that because of all the new TR Leaders having Base Modes, he is basically an oversized, more expensive Leader.

    I should contextualise my Blurr > Hardhead comment.

    Hardhead has an excellent play pattern within the remit of the Titans Return line. The way the minifigs interact with the larger robot is delightful. I especially love how they can man the main gun. However it does suffer from some of the drawbacks of the post 2011 figures - hollow limbs, slightly rickety feel.

    Blurr, which also being a headmaster, is a much more straightforward deluxe figure. Paint aside (and I am aware that that's a killer for some people) he doesn't suffer from the same drawbacks. He's solid in both modes and doesn't have big empty spaces. The headmaster figure interacts with him in slightly more mundane ways.

    Blurr is a better figure by far, even if his Titan Master interactions are not as interesting.

    I don't own Blurr (the concept of the toy doesn't interest me) nor have I ever handled the mould IRL, so I'd say if people who have both are saying that Blurr is the better of the pair then it seems like sound advice.

    I'm assuming that you don't know of any other collectors near you that might own the toy for you to try before you buy?

    Yeah my only problem is that I don't actually like how Blurr looks, I think Brainstorm looks far better in that mould.

    Check out Baltmatrix's review on YouTube. He freakin' gushes all over it.
