FEB 2016 - Titan Wars

Unknown original posting - mirrored posting here.

Headmaster Star Convoy / Laser Prime from G2.

Headmaster Megatron is obviously Blitzwing, but with a Megatron head. You can see his tank turret on his back, and jet fins on his ankles. He comes with two guns which merge to form his big cannon that can plug into his arm. Megatron's head looks very G1 in head mode. In "Nebulon" mode it has a red torso, and grey limbs.

Chromedome's getting repainted as Getaway. Head looks G1.

Triggerhappy is a headmaster who looks very G1.

Hot Rod is a headmaster who looks G1 in vehicle mode. Robot mode looks vaguely IDW to me. Small waste. Long thinghs. Big hexagonal kneepads with vents in them.

Alpha Trion's a triple changer. Beast Mode is a wolf with a unicorn horn (I have no idea why). Jet mode looks very Vector Prime.

Weirdwolf looks good. Very G1.

Powermaster Prime is getting a Diaclone repaint, so it's a blue COE truck. They seem to be calling it Magnus Prime or something along those lines (I can't remember for sure).

Tidal Wave seems to be coming back (investor art, photoshopped, rough). Looks like it'll share a mold with Broadside. Vehicle mode seems to be USS Flagg homage. Part of "strength series". Tidal Wave's head is called Powerhouse. Grey body. Green limbs.

Decepticon Clones. Looked to me like they have a Predaking. And the D-clones were Predaking parts. Same with Horri-Bull.

Sharkticon looks very round and G1.

Technobots look like you'd expect. But Afterburner is weird. Instead of making him G1, or just an orange Takara Groove, he's got this really long warped/bent windshield. It looks awkward to me. But that was my only complaint from everything I saw.

SDCC Fort Max comes with red sword. Has blue hands, instead of white.

Griffin, you have TR Gnaw (legends class) described as transforming into a shark but he actually transforms into a sharkticon.

Nah mate. Gnaw IS a Sharkticon. That is the faction. He still transforms into a metallic shark. ;)

You don't say Grimlock transforms into a Dinobot, do ya? ;):p:D

If you compare the alt. modes of Generations Sky Byte and TR Gnaw, you'll notice Sky Byte turns into a shark (a design from nature) and Gnaw turns into a sharkticon (a design from the 1986 movie). Note the metallic shark is Sky Byte. I'm being specific, so I'm not focusing on factions.:D

Yeah, still no. :o

Tfwiki states that Gnaw is a Sharkticon that transforms into a 'squat limbed, shark like monster'. Yes, Sky Byte still has more of a recognisable shark mode, but Gnaw does not transform into a Sharkticon. :o

As I said, Grimlock doesn't transform into a Dinobot, nor does Kickback transform into an Insecticon.

Thank you for clearing that up.:)

Sharkticons always looked like frogs anyway.
