Official Transformers Facebook Page has been updated with a video featuring the Titans Return toyline for the Transformers: Generations series.
The video showcases the Titan Masters, Pilot Vehicles, Main Battle Stations and Fortress Maximus.
“Here’s a #TBT to last month, when we let the world know that the Titans Return toys are taking over.” -Hasbro
Check out the video via the Official Transformers Facebook Page.
Update: You Tube version is also available for those who cannot access Facebook. Check it out, after the jump.

Well no, that one's clearly a painted prototype. You can see that all the parts are a gray resin underneath the paint chipping in several places, whereas the one in the video is purple plastic. I do believe the colors in the video are a result of bad color correction though.

Ergh. That gimmick was kinda dumb, since Optimus' face plate didn't move in the cartoon.

Do you think it would look better with the skull jaw that MP-01 had?

I believe that Optimus's TM eyes and nose show through ~ like, it's a full helmet + facemark.
Edit: looks like his nose is on the mask too, but the eyes do show through.

Who's John Oliver?
Jerrimus
There's been wayyyyy more evidence to support that Galvatron will be the color he was originally shown to be, so everyone should relax, we will have a glorious GALVATRON soon!

No John Oliver shows up and goes "IT'S 2017 PEOPLE! COME ON!" at the beginning of every episode.

before freaking about 2-tone Galvatron, here's what he looked like at Toyfair, which SHOULD (theoretically; based on what i know about the lead time of video production) be a newer sample: his purple actually seems to be a midpoint between the dark purple parts and bright magenta bits seen in the commercial.

i feel like calling him a "retool" is selling Fort Max short ~ and he's not even so much a "reshell" like we saw in Combiner Wars ~ he's more like Skydive -> Airraid where it's pretty much a new mold that shares some common parts.
i think everything from his knees to his elbows is new aside from the reversed crotch piece.

That was actually a pretty cool commercial. I'm convinced to buy some Titans Return (as if I wasn't already…)
YoungPrime
Good look! The back end feels like it'll tip over at any moment. Though I refuse to believe Hasbro would make a mistake like this in a legit commercial on purpose so could it possibly be a hint at a Shockwave remold?
Side Note:
Wow Soundwave and Blaster's bot modes both look GREAT! But I hate that they're both Leader Class which in my collection is a deal breaker.
I'll just stick with my FOC's. Does it annoy anyone else that the bots that should be Leader Class usually aren't?
YoungPrime
Yeah, I feel the same way, though I'm still looking for Sky Lynx, he's technically out in retail already so I can't see the next wave of Voyagers not releasing until Sept-Oct 2016. Same with Deluxes.
June/July makes more sense for a release otherwise Hasbro would have a significant decline in at least one of their yearly quarters coming up.
Murasame
Mostly he's not even purple but magenta.

I'm 99.99999999% sure that Galvatron's just a work in progress. I know it has paint on it, but they probably rushed to put a plastic test shot in the video. I'm also fairly certain (mostly because it's too long) that this isn't intended to be a TV commercial, but more of a sizzle reel for retail/buyer viewing. But, seeing as these display commercials cost money, somebody probably thought they could just throw it up on Youtube, but then, this half-assed Galvatron slipped out into the public eye. If you look closely, the purple tone is really half-ass-edly split down his different parts, and I can't imagine Hasbro would be that amateurish about the color scheme.
Murasame
Yup, felt like that as well. Maybe we should call our parents and ask them if they buy us these! Just for the heck of it! To see their reactions!
Murasame
Looks more like a prototype. Maybe that's why he was shown only briefly.
Mirimus
This line is just doing nothing for me; even though I'm not, my wallet is happy about this.
For the first time in quite a while, I think I can count on one hand the number of TF's I'll be buying this year…
TeletraanIV
I honestly couldn't tell from the close up on 'Wave and Blaster's heads, but good to know.

As I already knew for a while, Titans Return is going to be great for me.
The video is just more confirmation. Little iffy on the Galvatron deco, but then again,
I liked the Takara version better in the first place already.

Optimus, Galvatron, Soundwave and Blaster all have the helmet gimmick.
