We've been teased about it, we've seen it in the San Diego Comic Con 2016 Titan Force set, we've seen him as the Walgreens exclusive at SDCC in the Hasbro area (right here !), and now fellow Seibertronianoffers us a very quick comparison between the standalone Titans Return deluxe Brainstorm, his Titan Force counterpart, and the Voyager from the Generations line, with Headmaster Arcana !

... those base modes are really freaking similar. Ramp in the middle, two extending parts out of each side, two spires at the back... it scares me.

I really hope they don't do it and, well, obviously they shouldn't because base modes aside even a blind dude could tell you they're nothing alike; but maybe that cynical side of me is really trying to scare me...



I highly doubt it. You can't make a scorpion out of a dinosaur, not even with the most extensive retooling. And Scorponok wouldn't be Scorponok without a scorpion mode. I highly doubt it.

I don't know, I could see it. On one hand, Scorponoc's robot mode would have the same limb placements as Tryp's, the only differences a being Scorp has longer arms and no tail in robot mode. And how involved was/is the transformation of the original Scorponoc? Doesn't he kinda just do the whole "hey look I'm a scorpion!" And then when you transform him he's just. Scorpion on two legs?

Maybe you can finagle a scorpion mode out of the dino mode, but what do you do about the bot mode? Trypticon's torso isn't the right shape for anything humanoid, his hips are too far apart and he doesn't have a proper pelvis. Scorponok's legs would have a mile wide gap between them on a squat body. There just isn't any way around making this work.

I guess the Walgreens version looks better?



I don't know.



MtMtE has such washed out colors most of the time that I got used to the lighter color scheme.



I wish neither one was as extreme in color as they are. Posted by Counterpunch on August 1st, 2016 @ 4:09pm CDT

I got the SDCC one over the weekend with the Walgreens on me on the way. I really like the SDCC one. It's very MTMTE and so it fits with what I wanted but I'm excited to get the retail release too to see them compared. Posted by Randomhero on August 1st, 2016 @ 4:44pm CDT

I'm sure others have said it but the Walgreens release is striking me as having a very toy inspired deco. I do prefer the SDCC lighter colors. Luckily I already have the voyager and don't need to have all the Headmasters in the same scale. Posted by SureShot18 on August 1st, 2016 @ 6:54pm CDT

I know I probably should have expected this, but the Titans Return Brainstorm makes the Generations one look like a powered-up version!



DUDE. Size DOES matter!

I don't really count Arcee as she's fiction-only and a toy of her was never made in G1. As for a possible TR release, expect a redeco of Chromedome like the original G1 proposal:

Yeah but she was made with the other 4

I think they might do the blurr mold. I don't know Yeah but she was made with the other 4I think they might do the blurr mold. I don't know Posted by Bumblebee21 on August 1st, 2016 @ 10:46pm CDT

The Walgreens one has unpainted altmode guns, whereas the SDCC one has them painted gray/silver. Posted by Sabrblade on August 1st, 2016 @ 11:32pm CDT

Really? I mean, the Voyager definitely looks better... But I found the Voyager Brainstorm to be an incredibly boring figure to play with. Whereas I am enjoying the hell out of Titans Return Blurr.

I definitely like the vibrant colours of the algreens version more. Where can I get one in the UK? I prefer the deluxe figure far more than the voyager too. I had the Voyager but there were so many things I didn't like about the design and overall shape of parts (the pointy feet bugged me for example) and they're all much better on the more G1-ish Deluxe here.
