No, that was Takara releasing toy-based heads for the Legends line, plus their own versions of Clobber, Skytread, and the Titan Master version of Brawn.
FORT MAXie
There was a multi pack that had Cartoon based heads for the titans return line. Some near identical to Takara style heads…. it's in something like a 8 pack, also Ramhorn has 2 color variations.

I have not had any hip issues but I did have tail issues and that was a engineering issue. I attached some pics to show what I can and the last pic shows what is the cause of the issue and the top image shows how it effects the gear parts. More or less external gear gets stuck because other parts are on a angle and it's a pressure connection that lacks pressure so tabs get bent when outer gear gets wedged.

Shit, after everything did we learn nothing about the Hasbro Chromedome with the Takara head? Or did I miss some info?

FRIGGIN MATPAT IS GOING TO BE COMPUTRON!!!?
I have some concerns…..
Bob Schoonover
I mean, you don't have to put the armor on him . Also, it seems likely the armor/gimmick are combiner parts, so the "armor" mode is ancillary . . .
VortexPrime
agree 100% this time.
YoungPrime
Wow…. These gimmicks are compromising characters who were great without them.
toaprime
Actually, I believe that they released one in 2015, which showed that AOE made just as much as DOTM.
Post 35:
Transformer generated revenue for Hasbro down in 2015

Surprised they didn't do a reveal of upcoming Tribute figures/packs, thought they'd make a big thing of the 10th anniversary. Maybe they're saving them for Hascon. Would love to get box sets of the 2007 Autobot and Decepticon teams.
payres
They'll be a few more Pretenders, Cloudburst almost for sure, at least one more Legends, two more deluxe and one Voyager.
AnonymousDwell
So Roddy, a Pretender, Beachcomber, and one half of Dreadwing are all WAVE 1? This might be the first whole wave I buy ever.
Haywired
Just sell me Cogman and, frankly, the rest of the movie line can get lost.
payres
Meanwhile the Starscream from the same slide clearly shows the ankle rocker for the foot, ala Victorion & Computron, on top of his armour

Here's the only picture we have of the armour cropped, auto corrected and enlarged

Really hoping the armor things on the deluxes are also new hand/foot/guns. It would be pretty cheap even for Hasbro to not include any extremities for their limb modes.
payres
Ha! Yes I suspect so!
Swoop Dogg
Hasbro's reply to all your questions:
"Stay tuned."
payres
So questions I would have asked at SDCC:
Why the decision to switch the Clones from the boxset, like the first two, to a 2 pack?
Are there more boxsets to come?
Are there more Titans Returns to come or is Slugslinger shipping as an exclusive? (apparently he isn't an exclusive)
If so why didn't we see them here instead of POTP which is further down the line? WHEN is Power of he Primes?
What about Scorponok, Apeface, Snapdragon, the smaller 88 Headmasters and the Autobot Targetmasters? and all the other 87/8 groups half started by TR?
snoopcow
They even share the same color scheme lol
