And we have seen the light! Yesterday, a mysterious character concept art surface via South African Online toystore Toy Adventures and it sure caught the attention of fans. A lot of speculation came from this art, some of us placed our bets on a new character for the upcoming Siege line, even when the drawing didn’t match the current Siege art style. However, we didn’t have any reliable source to confirm our theories.
Thanks to 2005 Boards user tackertackle for his amazing detective work, we can say “Mystery solved!” and confirm that (sadly) this is no new character or toy, but an early concept art of Alpha Trion’s Titan Master Sovereign.
This is a very unusual but interesting turn of events.The original illustration comes from an uncolored sketch brought by artist Marcelo Matere while back in Botcon 2016. It is a very early concept art from before the final specifications for Alpha Trion and Sovereign were made. It also shows an early Alpha Trion’s ship mode which seems highly based on the Darold battle ship from Yamato 2199 anime.
Titan Master Sovereign seems to be drawn based on the Power Master Lube illustration from Dreamwave’s More Than Meets The Eye character guide. What we have seen in the Toy Adventures website is a colored merchandising art using Alpha Trion’s colors (purple, red and gray).
There you are guys, our mysterious robot identity revealed. But why and how this art was finally colored and revealed after so long on a South African website is a mystery for another time. Check the images after the jump and share your impression in our 2005 Boards!

Woah woah man, I know its sovereign I was trying to establish that by saying that it was most likely a titan master a.k.a. alpha tons sovereign I was making s point that the design was similar to spectro or spyglass, and try not to be so rude, thank you for your time!

It’s not siege art, it’s titans return art, that was covered in the thread
Gamerlingual
Well, my thought was there could be more siege art for this since the series is still ongoing. So I don’t see anything wrong with raising this up if someone can share more siege art
Nevermore
It's been confirmed on the previous page that it's a colored version of an early concept for Sovereign.
The next time you bump an old inactive thread, you'd better read more than just the first post…

Got it. Thanks

Not familiar with Spectro or Spyglass. Is that something bad?
Firstaidfan4life
It is most likely a titan master of sorts but looks like spectro or spyglass.

Looked like huffer to me.

I bet it's actually concept art for Alpha Trion's Titan Master, Sovereign.
King Glurch
Now that I think about it, yeah. It looks a lot like a Titan master. Maybe this was concept art of Toraizer before he was canceled.

Lmao this thread is still going on after being debunked. It’ll never die
BB Shockwave
Well this was a surprise. I would have never guessed that origin.

Oh it’s got to be springer
Black Convoy
Yup. It's a very early concept art, made when no final specificationa were still available. I think Emiliano Santalucia did a concept art with the final directions for the toy.
Jtprime17
Yep pretty much.
WishfulThinking
Got it. So, it's just "random Titans Return dude" in the end…

That’s the concept art of alpha trions “ship mode”. on the page to the left of the binder (not pictured) it has concept art of alpha trions robot mode and lion mode.
