That God Bomber is something else. May can't come soon enough!

Magnus Prime looks good but I really don't like the Godbomber stuff at all.

Rodimus Prime head looks cool but what body would you put it on?
Don't like the Thunderwing face much. But still their robot modes are nicely painted.

Well... given that their only difference in animation was ever their head design, probably Hot Rod.

In any case, think you've got the wrong thread friend

What do you mean? The Hot Rod body isn't Rodimus Prime.

And why wrong thread? :O

In both the cartoon and Marvel, Hot Rod and Rodimus had no discernible differences between their bodies other than Rodimus having slightly darker shades of colour, more lines on his face and sometimes he was taller. So the Hot Rod body... does work as Rodimus if you really want it to.

And that'd be 'cos all the stuff you mentioned aside from Godbomber were Hasbro reveals last night, not Takara

Titans Hot Rod works fine as Hot Rod but doesn't have the size/stature of Rodimus Prime who should be Voyager class in comparison to the HR toy and scale with other figures of similar rank and power like Voyager Megatron, Galvatron, Optimus Prime. And plus the alt-mode is vastly different. A full Rodimus Prime voyager figure by either Hasbro or Takara could be awesome. He's never really had a successful & affordable one of that form.

And I was responding to the image posted in this thread just a few posts above.

Was this it for Wonderfest? If so that's incredibly disappointing. Takara hasn't shown a thing for the legends series besides the headmasters set for months. I really thought they were just saving stuff for this convention.

The whole Transformers booth was not that big, admittedly, and they focused a lot on Godbomber, the TLK stuff, and then general showcases from the MP line and Prime 1 Studio. Maybe Legends is reaching towards its end, to make space for the movie year? Maybe a hiatus? I dunno, I'm just saying words.

It's entirely possible that legends is ending. Disappointing if the case but at least I can order Sixshot now and quit waiting on Takara so I don't miss out entirely.

Quickswitch not Greatshot? Please Takara! Maybe Christmas 2017?

After all the stuff bought in 2016 I wouldn't mind a short hiatus.

Looking forward to the clones though.

Can Sixshot transform without removing the Titan Master?

He can indeed, though if I recall correctly not removing the Titan Master somehow interferes with the Wolf mode.

Cyberpath wrote:Can Sixshot transform without removing the Titan Master?

Yes.

Cool! I might replace my "G1" brick sometime.

Leader class is a good size too, since he was Skyfire-kind of tall in Rebirth. (He could also scale down like Megatron in gun-mode. Shame he doesn't come with a mini-me gun. )

There is a hole in the wolf head right behind the ears. The titan master, in head mode, is supposed to lodge right in there. If you keep the titan master in the helmet for transformation, there will be a hole in the wolf mode neck

Yes! Get him bro'/ Aside from the lack of ratchets on the knees, he's a great fig! Or maybe wait for the Takara version

Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm. I can see Takara taking a break for the movie line, then coming back with their versions of the Wave 3 and 4 figures.

That's very strange to me. Is there precedence for this sort of thing happening? I know there's quite a few figures they've originally skipped, but the bulk of a main line like this kept on hold for so long?

Honestly, I don't remember. I know Animated was held off because retailers wanted more movie toys. Thinking like Takara, outside of Sixshot they might feel the Headmaster line is done since most of the major characters have been released.

I suppose... though also it would be odd of them to release Astrotrain and Blurr without giving us Blitzwing, Octane, Hot Rod and Kup. Those are a few pretty significant sets.

Yes, but I also think it was odd of them to release the non-classic Headmasters.

Not necessarily - after all, these are major characters. They released Optimus Maximus and Sky Reign just fine and even added their own new Combiners-out-of-previously-non-combining-characters into the mix, so they seem pretty easy-going on gimmicks being added like that.

Yeah, I think I'll wait to see what Takara does with him first.

Anybody else hoping Takara releases a gift set of the Insecticons with matching paint and weapons? I'd be happy if they just included three reflectors.

I'm definitely hoping for that. Maybe we could get a retool of Shrapnel and Bombshell to include transparent yellow cockpits to match Kickback as well?
