I do like how it worked the other way around, when Hasbro made toys of a bunch of characters who'd become fan favorites through that era of IDW. Tailgate, Brainstorm, Swerve, Whirl (albeit less MTMTE and more G1)... I just miss having regular fiction tying in with the toys and bringing things...

Yeah, and then there's things like Starscream dressing up like his Armada self just because and Jhiaxus copying it but in orange just because. Titans Return was like Crosscut's situation but for the concept of Titans Return.

It's kind of a shame after how well everything went (more or less) with Dark Cybertron/Thrilling 30.

Man, I really need to (checks notes) not be on a totally different continent when this sort of thing happens

I just had a vision of a "distant dystopian future" Jurassic World, with humans riding teched-out dinosaurs to fight robo-dinosaurs and other mutated creatures...

I love how their hand positions make them look like finger-snapping backup singers.

Yeah, damn, I'd have definitely grabbed one at that price.

I guess I do prefer that to the rumored "Mandrake". He can just be The Other Mandalorian. I mentioned it in the front page article I think, because that was the thing that most caught me off guard about it. Neat idea. (Do you mean you can't help but love it?)

oh lawd he comin

This has been the last few years for me, too. It's too bad selling stuff is such a pain.

Interestingly the box just calls it The Mandalorian, which may be new to Collaborative (existing character turning into their vehicle?). But to your point, it could jut as well be A Mandalorian...

Hell yeah. Bring back Mini-Cons. And Botbots.

I've honestly lost sight of what I was originally saying, but I don't think I disagree with any of that.

Okay, look, I've tried to be nice all day but I am hangry so I hate you temporarily

Ah, okay, they did essentially crew the Titans, thanks! Interesting, that, and does nominally leave room for other types of Masters. Just have them also be crew in-story and happen to lend power in different ways (But yeah, better to have "Masterforce" as a cluster with subtypes, rather than...

Yeah, it sounds really good. And I didn't even know about the other biscuit types (thinking BoBerry was just their name for their biscuit), although it makes sense that more standard types are also there. Alas, I am overdrawn at the moment, so I can't even chase down a local equivalent after...

I am very hazy on what little lore we have from the time. Why WERE they called Titan Masters? Were "bulks"/main Autobot/Decepticon partners the titans being mastered by becoming their heads? Or were the heads themselves titans and masters? Or something.

It's not dawned on me until recently that they just reused Core class Soundwave's altmode box art for Legacy. Pointing-out-of-tape-deck feet and all.

For me it's less urgent that I track down Selects Hound because the Universe 2.0 Hound still works so well. Weapon attachment point aside, that's overall a really good mold.

I remember now, that was a very welcome surprise at the time.
