TFW2005 boards member Nevermore has let us know that Amazon has updated with stock photos of the upcoming Titans Return Legends Wheelie, Rumble, and Ravage figures. These images display them in their robot and alternate modes, in addition to giving us some nice looks at their packaging and collector cards. At the moment, all of them are listed as being currently unavailable.
Check them out after the break, and let us know what you think of these guys in the discussion thread!

UW Devy was a similar price shipped.
Preorder for Fort Max made at $197 shipped. Not bad….not bad at all.

Fort Max is only 4700 yen to ship by EMS? I think NY has got it wrong on the cheap side this time. That's same as shipping a Unite Warrior box set.

Thanks to my intervention, NY has the preorders up:

Me too. But what i really want is for them to do the Deluxe insecticons in deluxe class

Thanks so much for all the info guys, very much appreciated! Good to know I don't have to wait for months still for Wheelie n Blurr also, I don't think I coulda made it with my sanity intact!

Legends figures are small. Around the 8cm mark. (3.15 inches)
Wave one should be hitting stores within the next month or so
All deluxe, Voyager and Leader class figures are headmasters. Plus wheelie has a cockpit in vehicle mode to let headmasters ride inside him. The Japanese version comes with a headmaster toy of Go-Shooter to ride him or be used as a head for larger figures.
Go-Shooter is just a repaint of the Siren/Loudmouth headmaster toy Hasbro is releasing separately with a small vehicle as part of their "Titan master" size class

Yeah, that's about right. Don't try putting him or other Legends figs with 3 3/4" figures, it won't really work.
We're being given an ETA of late May to early/mid June.
Well, here's one detail about Titans Return you probably missed: everyone in this line, bar the Legends figures, is a Headmaster. Blurr, Galvatron, Powermaster Optimus, Blaster, they're all Headmasters. Hence, the pack-in each Japanese figure comes with is just an homage to another character, and there's not much of a chance that those characters will see release in either the American or Japanese lines as a result.

Hey Folks!
I haven't been too much in the TF world for some while now, but I just popped in to see what's new (to me at least) and lo & behold, A G1ish Wheelie & Blurr!!! Hot Dang!! These guys look so good, can honestly say & I'm sure i'm one of few, I've been looking forward to a great G1 Wheelie for a long time now. So he's listed as a "legends" class figure, does anyone know if that puts him in around the normal 3"-4" tall mark?
Excuse me all if this has been covered way before now as it most likely has,but, does anyone know when the HASBRO wave 1 figures will see released here in the states?
Also, I've just preordered the TT version but don't really wanna wait til Sept. Does the little guy he comes with make him a headmaster or is it intended as a bonus that will fit another figure entirely?
Thanks so much to any and all for your help!

So these will be compatible with slots in Blaster and Soundwave? I thought of that and then saw "compatible with" in the top corner, as it points to the side of the packaging and of course doesn't show us that.
Not a fan of yellow and orange, but wheelie looks nice. Really enjoying the legends class line too. They've done well with the molds and transformations considering the size. Still have a problem with powerglide's legs splitting in plane mode…

Beet Papil was sadly never produced.
YoungPrime
It was said before that there was Lady bug deluxe insecticon that was never released. Any truth in this?
YoungPrime
The wings look crappy and there's no real improvement from the G1 bird Cassette. So even if I didn't have the 2 MP cassettes as my #1 picks in my collection/display these current ones would still be a pass.
artiepants
I totally agree with you. A Nightbeat mold would likely be generic enough to use for tons of different characters with just repaint and new heads.
MWG
I don't see how they can refuse to at least make a full Nightbeat body. That could be remolded into Siren, and those two variants of one mold could be repainted into Minerva and Go Shooter (Takara would definitely do those two repaints and Hasbro might also do them). Plus the ability to repaint the existing Nightbeat & Siren heads into each other to placate fans of the original toys and also the Marvel depictions where they seem to have switched heads.
It is harder to say for Hosehead or the three Decepticon small headmater characters.

I think wheelie will be ok as long as he's orange and orange, not yellow and orange like sandstorm. I have both versions on preorder juuuust in case though :/
artiepants
Yeah, this week I added things up, and with all the Transmissions podcast leaks, I think we know at least 90% of the deluxes being released in TR (based on the #s released in other Generations lines). Unfortunately, doesn't feel to me like there is room left for the Headmaster Jr.s, which is a dang shame, I'd MUCH rather have gotten them instead of the 86 redux movie figures, whom already got decent-to-great Generations releases.
G1primus01
That wheelie is looking amazing! On my list of things to get.
Soundwinder
Oh… shit.
I just realized Ravage is designed to resemble a goddamn U-2. That turns this from an easy pass to a… slightly conflicted pass.
Still getting Stripes. The perfect storm of the name, gaudy color scheme, fat robot mode, and derpy alt-mode really gets my "buy this weird thing" sense going.
Still repurposing him as Hooligan undercover and given an awful alt-mode and name as punishment for putting sugar in Megatron's gas tank.
combaticonsfrvr
Definite buys on all of them… well, all but Ravage. If one of them gets cut, he's the one, unfortunately.
That said, he's still okay. He's just not on par with everyone else.

Frenzy, Rumble, who cares? As long as both get made. Ravage still looks pretty bad. Wheelie looks nice enough to me. It's gonna be a real conundrum once I get him though. I actually really like the GDO figure.
