Weeks before its release, it was confirmed by an article on Dengeki Hobby that Legends Fortress Maximus will include sound clips of main theme song from “Transformers: The Head Masters“, and also voice tracks recorded by the original voice actor, Mr. Ikuya Sawaki. With the figure officially released, these sound clips, including “I am Fortress”, “Head On!”, “Master Sword”, and many others, has been captured in a video mirrored below.

Hasbro Asia appear to be continuing their trend of releasing official upgrade stickers for the Titans Return line, according to this report from Autobase Aichi.

A before-and-after image set with Chromedome has been provided by Blacklai – check it out and see what you think.

We’re back with another gallery from the Titans Return line, and this time, we’re putting the focus on the big red truck himself, Optimus Prime! He’s been reincarnated in his Powermaster form for the Titans Return line, as a very thorough reworking of the Ultra Magnus released in the Combiner Wars line – with the majority of his parts completely remolded, and even some new steps in the transformation. It’s a pity, though, with so much work done on making Powermaster Optimus his own toy, that he then recycles the rifles from Ultra Magnus – of course, Renderform has you covered with their Power Rifles if you feel the need for some Generation 1 styled guns.
Poseability is carried over from the previous Leader class Ultra Magnus – so in other words, it is excellent, with good all-round mobility in the joints. One thing to note – because of the new transformation on the leg panels, it is harder to stand Powermaster Optimus Prime with his legs together. There’s some rather glaring hollow spaces on the forearms too, and a lack of paint on the Titan Master, Apex. Shout out to a very cool touch which makes the face beneath the Optimus Prime helmet that of the E-Hobby style Orion Pax.
However, you may have noticed that most of these points are mostly minor complaints. Powermaster Optimus Prime is a fine flagship release for Titans Return along with Blaster who gives us fans a long-awaited update of the 1988 rendition of Optimus Prime. He’s got a solid, strong look distinct from Ultra Magnus, with many of the design touches which defines the Powermaster design, with the head in particular looking a lot like the Marvel Comics artwork. All in all, a solid release and worth the price of admission – check out this 177 image gallery, and see for yourself:
