I'm blown away with all this! My Godfathers! They've done it again, haven't they? First Combiner Wars, now this?! Great stuff.

Skullcruncher as a heavy remould into Snapdragon maybe.
Am I the only one who suddenly thought that Powermaster Prime could be a mental remould of Blaster? Blaster becomes the trailer (the base mode is already Primes) and the headmaster and or data disc remoulds becaome the cab. It would be a bit closer to E Ultra Magnus in design than traditional PMOP, but would sort of work in this line. It also seems like it would be no more work than remoulding Ultramagnus.

That *is* a mental idea. But given that I've now got Magnus in hand, I can't see that it would be any more or less work than retooling Magnus. Intriguing. |

I am excited to see how IDW jump through hoops to bring Hardhead back given that he's the most deadest of dead Transformers in the history of dead!!

Unless they just don't. They managed to not bring Cyclonus, for example, into the Combiner Wars, so I'm sure they have some flexibility.

I believe the rumors were the new deluxes would be the current voyagers.
I don't remember what the new voyagers would be.
I would hazard to guess the head packs would be simply called Titanmasters.

I hope Hardhead and Skullcruncher are the old voyager-size. Otherwise their pal Brainstorm will tower over them.

So... if the new Brainstorm will be voyager sized too, then why?  I was assuming it would be in a different size class, which would explain it |

Good golly miss Molly.
What a thread update to come home to after a very long tiring day at work. I'm very excited, but too comatose to try and process all this news. I shall dissect this carefully tomorrow.

My friend pointed out that hasbro will have completely failed if one of the headmaster packs isn't Henry Masterson, with a blue snowplow.
(Edit: corrected my mistake)

I had a brainfart. I mean Henry Masterson: AKA The Headmaster tfwiki.net/wiki/Henry_MastersonNot Danny Masterson the actor. But The Headmaster from TFA. The blue snowplow to nod towards Sentinel Prime. |

In trying to search for that name, I thought I saw TFWiki's auto-complete suggest Danny Kincannon. Which immediately made me wonder if we were going to be getting a CJ Cregg headmaster, too. And then things got weird and I decided I should go to bed...

news.tfw2005.com/2015/10/08/nycc-2015-hasbro-transformers-panel-updates-302802Hasbro panel. Only new thing we haven't seen is Sentinel Prime. Looks like that the size classes keep their names. Head pack pricepoint, as I thought, is called Titanmaster. And it took me a while, but I figured out why the voyager and leader class have built in helmets, is to make sure they don't have pinheads, since all titanmaster heads work on all three ranges.

Quite distinctive nose and body shape there. Scourge retool. Yet the slide image suggests Astrotrain and Energon Omega Supreme!  |

Slides hint at Optimus  And two more deluxe, one of which looks like Blurr  |

SennyPrime - the whole front end looks like Scourge but one thing I don't like about the toy is hands on show.

I think the Vehicle mode is slightly mis transformer in that respect: there appears to be a recess for the arms behind them.  |

Well. Sentinel Prime is definitely... orange. But I won't say he's going to be bad, because I thought Jhiaxus was going to be terrible. But Jhiaxus turned out to be a pretty good toy.
As to the rest, good spot with Blurr. I figured that the other leader would be Powermaster Optimus also, but you beat me to it. And as to the rest... well, we didn't learn very much more, did we?
And aside from the artist's impression on the opening slides, we didn't get a shot of Footloose Multipuss at all. Which is disappointing.
Still, given I'm not done with Combiner Wars, there's still enough to be getting excited about. :-)

The things with these Titan Wars products is that most of them are probably six months away in May. If all goes as we suspect we'll see Buzzsaw at Christmas, with the Combaticons, and Eject & Stripes in the Wreck Gar legends assortment with Sky Reign.
All the deluxe slots are filled till then, and I imagine the Voyager slot with Sky Lynx will be taken by the Onslaught colour variant. But I can see a scenario where Blaster is released as the leader alongside Sky Reign which would make sense if his tapes were out at the same time and tie into images of him escaping early.
I'm guessing, bar any image/prototype escapes, that that's it till Toyfair.
