Editing Titans Return (toyline)

{{nav-TitansReturn}}

[[File:TitansReturn workswith.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.25|The Titans Return play pattern, or "ecosystem", as Hasbro calls it, in a nutshell.]]

'''''Titans Return''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' toyline, constituting the second portion of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]''.

Introduced in mid-2016, ''Titans Return'' (initially touted under the early working name ''Titan Wars'') features its own new line-wide gimmick: all Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures include a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]-style [[Titan Master]] partner, all of which are completely interchangeable. To compensate for the size differences, Leader class figures feature large helmets that cover the Titan Masters, while Voyager class figures have spring-loaded pop-out adornments to "bulk up" their heads.<ref name="heads">It should be noted, though, that most of the Titan Master heads for the Leader Class figures are basically just larger-scaled "faces" that look incomplete without a corresponding helmet, which results in the smaller-scaled full heads of the other Titan Master figures looking rather obviously out of scale when used on a Leader Class figure.</ref> All Voyager and most Leader class figures are [[Triple Changer]]s; each Leader class figure's third mode is a base/battle station, which can be manned by the Titan Master figures. Each Deluxe and Voyager figure's hand-held weapons can transform and/or combine to form a "turret" that any Titan Master can sit in, and which can attach to the base modes of the Leader Class figures. Most figures feature several tiny pegs dotted across their bodies, which allow Titan Masters to stand securely on them.

Additionally, a new Titan Master assortment was introduced, each including a single Titan Master, plus a small vehicle or beast. These can transform into a vehicle/beast for the Titan Master to ride, a second vehicle/beast formed by ''combining'' with the Titan Master, and a [[5mm post|5mm]] weapon for a larger figure to wield. Some Legends Class figures are [[Mini-Cassette]] characters, and can transform into both a vehicle and a blocky PDA that can fit inside Leader Class figures such as [[Blaster (G1)/toys#TitansReturn|Blaster]]. Though never officially addressed by Hasbro, Deluxes no longer included comic books (previously included with ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' and ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' figures in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Asia) in any market, thus eliminating the need for English-only packaging entirely, leaving only two types of [[multilingual packaging]], one for Europe and the other for all non-European markets. However, the character cards included with all figures (except for Titan Masters) now featured [[Tech Spec]] stats on their back.

Titans Return also finally brought back a minor but significant feature missing from several previous lines: All [[size class]]es are explicitly identified by name on the packaging again (in multiple languages, no less), thus leaving no unnecessary room for confusion with outdated working names floating around. [[#Notes|Sort of]].

Voting for the second Titan Class figure was conducted via Facebook, with fans choosing between a remake of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Generations|Trypticon]], or [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/926169094119952/?type=3&permPage=1 November 24 2016 photo]</ref> Trypticon won.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/931380200265508/?type=3 There truly is nothing that can stand in the way of Trypticon. With your votes, he smashed his way to becoming the next Generations Titans Return Titan Class toy. Mark your calendars, and look for him to hit shelves late 2017.]</ref>

====Store exclusives====
While most of these figures and sets were exclusive to particular online or brick and mortar venues in the U.S., they were available at general retail in Asia, with the exception of the "Chaos on Velocitron" set, which was a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Asia as well. In Canada, "Chaos on Velocitron" was released as Toys"R"Us exclusive, while "Siege on Cybertron" was initially available via Toys"R"Us but was later stocked by other stores and online retailers as well.

A pair of three-packs featuring [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] and [[Grotusque]] were shared exclusives, having initial releases via Hasbro Toy Shop (and in Arcee's case, a special "early access" release at [[HasCon 2017]] and [[New York Comic Con#2017|NYCC 2017]]), before later being made available via the Toys"R"Us website.

*As has been noted at the beginning of this page, ''Titans Return'' started out under the working name "Titan Wars". That earlier title was featured in schematics on display during [[BotCon 2015]], which constituted the first public hint of the successor to ''Combiner Wars'', as well as in a leaked internal Hasbro sheet for the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2016 exclusive version of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#SDCC2016FortMax|Fortress Maximus]].<ref name="fmsheet">[http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/11/13/titan-wars-fortress-maximus-revealed-305250 Leaked internal Hasbro sheet] for the SDCC exclusive version of Fortress Maximus at TFW2005.</ref> The final name "Titans Return" was first officially used at [[New York Comic Con]] 2015.

*Technically, the first figure specifically designed for the ''Titans Return'' [[play pattern]] that got released was Legends Class [[Buzzsaw (G1)#CWLegends|Buzzsaw]], who was given an early release under the ''Combiner Wars'' subline imprint. In fact, comparing the product code and assortment numbers of the first two waves' worth of figures strongly implies that Hasbro originally intended to simply continue the ''Combiner Wars'' assortments with ''Titans Return'' product, rather than relaunching them as new assortments. Under this line-up, Stripes and Rewind would have presumably been released as part of wave 6 of the Legends Class assortment alongside [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Generations|Wreck-Gar]] while Wheelie would have been released in the subsequent wave together with Ravage and Rumble, and Laserbeak in the wave after that. Blaster would have been released as part of wave 6 of the Leader Class assortment (following wave 5's [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Skywarp]]) with Powermaster Optimus Prime released in the subsequent wave. The Deluxe and Voyager line-ups would have presumably remained unchanged.
*Early in the toy line's life cycle, Hasbro Australia promoted the ''Titans Return'' figures with three different full-scale advertisement posters (alternatively depicting Powermaster Optimus Prime, Fortress Maximus, or Galvatron) found at numerous public transport stations. This form of public advertisement is pretty much unprecedented for ''Transformers'' toys in general, and for a "collector"-oriented line in particular!<ref name="ozads">[http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/27/titans-return-bus-stop-adverts-high-resolution-images-325451 Titans Return bus stop adverts high resolution images] at TFW2005</ref>
*Beginning with wave 3 figures, the pictograms on the tech-spec cards went through some minor cosmetic changes from the previous waves; the strength icon changed from a whole muscular torso to just a muscular arm, the 'motion blur' effect on the running humanoid figure which marks speed changed from triangles to striations, the intelligence icon switched from a human brain to a Cybertronian's head silhouette with gears inside, and lastly the firepower icon changed from just a bullet to a bullet followed by a blast effect.
*Another change that occurred with the wave 3 figures was that the default packaging design was now "Decepticon"-themed, after having previously been "Autobot"-themed ever since the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' line in 2014, prompting some people to incorrectly assume a packaging design error.
*Listings on Amazon Germany indicated that Wave 5 would also include [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] and [[Toraizer]] Titan Masters, but no such toys ever materialized, with Ramhorn being the only wave 5 Titan Master.
