Botcon 2015 – Get Ready for the TITAN WARS

under Conventions, Generations / Classics

This just in from Botcon 2015! Our guys are there grabbing pics of the initial Hasbro cases now, but one little nugget was too good to hold out on. A backdrop at the Hasbro booth has artwork for TITAN WARS – with wireframe models of what looks to be Fort Max. Check out the teaser pic below and stay tuned all afternoon for more!

Update:

From the wireframes we can make out the following:

  • Astrotrain NOT Astrotrain, sorry, miscommunication. A bubbly space jet of some sort. Galaxy Convoy, Star Saber? Unknown, check the pics. Update again – figure likely IS Astrotrain, yay. The figure appears to contain both shuttle and train bits and features a headmaster gimmick.
  • Fort Max- Fort Max appears to be a retooled Generations Metroplex.  The figure is true to original with Spike transforming into Cerebros’ head, and Cerebros transforming into a head for Fortress Maximus. There is also interaction shown between a tank, a car, and the smaller Headmaster figures.
  • Blaster is also a Headmaster. The figure appears to also include a base mode transformation that the smaller Headmaster figures can interact with.

More soon, stay tuned.

Pics updated, click in to check em!

More pics @ 3:57 Eastern, Fort Max Head, possible shot of Nebulos…

Anyone else think that Blurr would make a great Devcon? Make the light blue parts white and change up the Scourge head to give it blue eyes and remove the mustache is all they need to do

You know who I think this looks like?

Wouldn't it be funny if you got a Legends Nightbeat with a seat for a Titan Master, and the a Titan Master Muzzle? Then you could put them together? You just put the Titan Master inside the cockpit in robot mode, and then it used the Titan Master vehicle as his gun.

I really hope Nightbeat will either:
a.) Be a deluxe figure with the G1 Comics Visor.
b.) Be a brand new Legends mold that does not support the TR gimmick, or is not hampered by it.

Oh well, the Thrilling 30 figure is really good, so I guess it's not the end of the world if we get a Legends figure.

I personally wouldn't mind that being Nightbeat…

As long TakaTom give me a Minelba from that mold eventually. :)

I really hope FortMax is not just the same mold as Metroplex. That will be extremely disappointing.

Man were you wrong….

Spectacularly wrong.

We have about as much chance of seeing a Headmaster Blaster as we do of seeing Unicron or impossibly-animation-accurate G1 Megatron. This artwork exists purely to fuel fan speculation and grease the wheels of the hype train. And that's exactly what it did. For thirty pages.

My jaw is through the floor. This thing looks legitimately batshit crazy.

The whole affair was ambiguous in the sense that there was nothing more concrete than the juxtaposition of the "Titan Wars" branding, and the artwork – which appears to originate from the same source as this, which people similarly worked themselves up into a frenzy over, and amounted to nothing.

At the end of the day, until we have some more substantial to go on, this speculation will likely go on endlessly. My gut feeling is that this either isn't going to go within a thousand miles of where people think it's going, or it's going to culminate in something significantly less noteworthy than anticipated.

Man were you wrong….

In case anyone was wondering, looks like Titan Wars is real.

Question, will leader Optimus look like G1(sh) Powermaster Optimus or does anyone think they will do something completely different?

Hope they do a powermaster prime so I can repurpose it as ginrai. Takara will probably sell it as such.

Yeah, Powermaster Prime will end up awesome immediately after I spent a bunch of money on paint and 3P parts to make my CW Optimus leader class.

Lol.

Most TF podcasts in a nutshell.

That's why I keep my show about 15 minutes. I figure NO ONE wants to hear me talk for much longer.

Eh, "pretty great" is pushing it. I'd put it at "It's ok".

*shrug*

Definitely one of the best IMO.

Does that link say the podcast is three and a half hours?

No thank you.

There are notes showing at what time each subject in the podcast starts. You can hear the Titan Wars stuff at about 2 hours and 2 minutes in.
