The Planet Iacon Facebook page has uploaded a good number of scans featuring a mix of silhouette and grey prototype teasers for Takara’s 2016 lineup for Titans Return and their Robots In Disguise 2015 Adventure line! Batting for Titans Return, we have the already-announced Galvatron, Skullsmasher, and Hardhead, then for new reveals we have Scourge, Blurr, and Legends class Shockwave along with silhouette teasers of Blaster, the cassettes, Wheelie, UW Computron and the Technobots, a mystery spot, and most notably, Fortress Maximus! Fans will happily notice that he’s wielding the one and only Mastersword in this teaser, confirming that Takara’s version will come with the sword, and he’s slated for release this September. Computron also features yet another new detail teased, which is the silhouettes of not only the combined mode, but the robot modes and vehicle modes for the individual Technobots. Hopefully we’ll start seeing something tangible for that set soon.
Moving on to RID2015, we have grey prototypes for Adventure Scorponok and Windblade, a silhouette of another Optimus Prime, and a look at figures of Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Strongarm that come with minicons to interact with. In addition to RID2015 and Titans Return teasers, we also have some grey prototype shots of some movie-based figures coming up as well as a shot of MP-32 Beast Convoy aka Optimus Primal.
Check out all the pics after the jump and join the discussion to share your thoughts and excitement!

With only two days left until the reveal of Fortress Maximus (Takara version), I would like to speculate (again) with the changes of this version:
a) Cerebros (renamed to Fortress) repainted to grey & white
b) Cerebros's face remolded to Headmasters cartoon version
c) Both legs repainted with more grey
d) Hidden cannons in the forearms
e) Fortress Maximus' head with the horns repainted to dark blue
f) Head on sound
g) Little red sword connect to Fortress Maximus' head like Headmasters cartoon
h) A gun for Cerebros
i) A gun for Fortress Maximus that can connect with the starship mode
There are my theories, I would like to read yours

Not a question but a request if they're reading it. Thanks I'll keep checking on HLJ's website.

My mistake! Computron, Shockwave, Blurr & Scourge on Thursday.

According to the retailer catalog pics in the opening post, the official announcement date for LG Fort Max is 11 May.
Some retailers will put it up before then but the major stores like Amiami and HLJ will only put it up for order on 11 May.
payres
Assuming that's a question, HLJ haven't.
Keep looking at Transformers Legends | HobbyLink Japan on Thursday.
Assuming it's a statement, link please!

AE or HLJ put up fort max already

Update, jokingly!
Exact Translation:
Yes, this is my own little thing concerning the round silhouette of LG30. Truly, I think it's either one set of Clones or a body for a lonely Titanmaster transtector.
Collectibot
Well, darn. Just spitting out $170 for MP Shockwave and now this? Well, it's either Computron or Fortress Maximus. Looks like I may have to… Stick to Hasbro. Darn TFCon!

waiting oj japanese retailers to put up preorders

I'm on the fence over Fortress Maximus. I'd love to have something like Metroplex, but he's way too expensive. I can definitely swing Fort Max though. I'm going to wait for product pics before I make a decision on this.
I will be ordering quite a few of those Legends, along with TAV Swipe and Bee. Just waiting on HLJ or AE to post them for preorder.

good question… it costs more than a deluxe?
So it is either a voyager character, or a new mold deluxe?
dCon
Yes he does. I'm thinking more like Hasbro I.guess and forgot they really will go all out most likely. I think I'm.just hoping for a remolded chest/ab like area. I'm not hating the Hasbro version just not liking it to.its full potential u could say

God ginrai should need a pack of wings… or doesn't he?

I hope Takara also change the ball joint elbow of Cerebro/Fortress to a proper ratchet joint.

I may end up going for the Hasbro version. My interest was more in Powermaster Optimus than Ginrai, anyway.
