Well Hasbro has unveiled their new Titans Return line and I must say wow. Check out all the pics here courtesy of TFW2005.

Deluxe class Twin Twist
Deluxe class Windblade
Legends class Cosmos
Legends class Seaspray
Titan Master Ramhorn
Voyager Blitzwing
Voyager Octone
Leader class Overlord

I'm confused, Cosmos is just a reissue without his targetmaster?

[GoktimusPrime]

Can't wait to get Overlord, Seaspray, Topspin, Twin Twist, Metalhawk, Pounce and Fastlane!

I'm confused, Cosmos is just a reissue without his targetmaster?

I'd buy it!

The two exclusive multi-packs are a surprise, for being so big - each has a Leader, a Voyager, 2 Deluxes and a Titanmaster - the price will be enormous... especially here if we get them. They have the equivalent of about AU$210 worth of toys in them, and if TRU or Myer get them, expect $300 just because of the size of the box.

It's just disappointing that each one looks to have a new mould in the set, as well as exclusive characters. Particularly the Clones - if their partner is released at regular retail, the Clone in each of these sets can't remain exclusive to these sets, or else fans will be really upset. I guess Hasbro don't need to worry about bad decisions now that they don't have to face the wrath of fans anymore with no more BotCons.

It also amazes me that Hasbro have done another big boxset, after poor sales of the big 2014 Movie boxsets and the similarly sized Autobot Movie 5-pack from last year, that never showed up in most countries, and was hard to find in Asia and America.

And one is a BBTS exclusive? They aren't the big online source they used to be for Transformers, now that there is a lot more competition compared to when they last had exclusives (Seacons and Battle Unicorn). And neither of those sold out, prompting them to heavily discount them in the end. I can't see them taking on too many, and if they do, they are likely to be significantly overpriced, to the point of still sitting on them a couple years later.

Pounce and Fastlane appear to be legend class and also new molds, which is a little surprising. The pics supplied to TFW have Legend in Fastlane's name, but interesting/teasingly call Pounce Cloudraker in error. Both look, in the renders at least, simple enough to be Legends size.

hmm im not sure i'm really into many of these. Blitzwing looks kinda weird in tank mode with all the jet bits right at the front. Nautica doesn't look much like the comics either. :/

They do look slightly smaller than the Deluxe toy next to them on the shelf, but I think they look bigger than Legends class, and I wonder if they are intentionally between the size classes so that they would be later sold as 2-packs at the Voyager price point. (in America, Legends are $10, Deluxe are $17 and Voyagers are $25... so two toys between Legends and Deluxe would equal a Voyager retail price)

I thought that Fastlane looked a bit simplistic for a Deluxe Class, almost a mirror of the G1 toy. To be honest I thought Pounce was just a retool of Wolfwire.

A shame they won't scale with the rest. Oh well, Fastlane will scale well with TT Override I guess

The green seems to be darker and there is red on his neck instead of white. There were distribution issues with Swerve and Cosmos, maybe that's why?

A few nice pieces, a few would-get-it-but-already-have-the-character-s, and a lot of not-interesteds.

I really can't help thinking that Nautica would have been better off as an extensive TR-Windblade retool. As it is she kind of just looks like a lilac Blurr with stumpy VTOL wings.
