[edit]
- Blunderbuss & Broadside (Voyager Class, 2017)
- Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro)
- A retool of Titans Return Sovereign, Blunderbuss transforms from a tiny robot based on Safeguard into a head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger Titans Return figure. Blunderbuss was only available with his larger partner Broadside.
- Even though early Hasbro CG renders used colors very close to the final product's light gray plastic, pre-production samples used for stock photos (depicted on the right) featured a gray face for Broadside's head and even darker plastic (with a green-ish tint) for Blunderbuss's arms, legs and head.
Notes
[edit]- A blunderbuss is a type of short-range gun, commonly featured in pirate fiction.
- As a redeco (other than the new Broadside face) of Sovereign, Blunderbuss has a particularly weird design lineage, since Sovereign was designed to resemble Fun Publications' BotCon 2007 exclusive Beta Maxx figure, itself a redeco of Cybertron Safeguard.
- According to Broadside's online bio and Trypticon's Titan Master Crunch, Blunderbuss's ability is a radar and sonar boost, rather than mass shifting.
