Toy Review - Titans Return Wolfwire (AKA WeirdWolf)

[SharkyMcShark]

Thanks for the photos GP.

I genuinely prefer the Hasbro version, mismatched yellow and all, though I do agree that I'd have sacrificed the splash of red on the sword for a painted Monxo face.

I know I'm in the minority when I say I have a soft spot for Snarl (Cybertron series) but Wolfwire is what Snarl should have been.

When compared to Snarl, Wolfwire has the better head sculpt in both modes. In alt. mode the limbs are bulky and therefore better proportioned to match the body and the tail is more dynamic looking due to the curvature and therefore more closer to being realistic.
All up I find him to be the best deluxe in the TR series partly because I prefer beast alt. modes over vehicle alt. modes (no offense to the Hardhead fans).

P.S. Wolfwire has a better cockpit than Skullsmasher.

Love Cybertron Snarl. Couldn't agree more with your statement.

I would totally buy a redeco/retool of this if they ever decide to go all CHUG on the Cybertron line.

Opened this guy on the weekend, he is alright. I can't say I like him as much as some of the previous posters, mostly due to (surprise,surprise) Hasbro cost cutting flaws, namely the two shades of yellow plastic that don't match and the (on mine) poorly painted claws, and torso that comes of when you twist it around. The lack of paint on the titanmaster was already noted.

Still I agree they did make the transformation interesting. Overall I'd say Wolfwire/ Weird Wolf is the jack of all trades of the Titanmaster Decepticon Headmasters. Skullcruncher has a better alt mode and Mindwipe has a better bot mode, but Weird Wolf is the second best in both modes.

I'm pretty sure this is a deliberate 'brushed metal' look, but you're not the first customer to be unimpressed by the execution.

that's a good observation. that I totally agree with.

true, the claws look unfinished, especially when compared to the dry brushed AOE Dinobots 5 pack from the other year.

As for the figure itself, I never had the original, or any connection with the character, so came in with no expectations, and I'm pretty pleased over all, great looking bot mode, wolf mode is pretty sweet, and the transformation is pretty cool.

Is it my favourite from the wave? I'm not sure, but it might be a tie between him and Chromedome
