I been working on replacing all pre-digital IDW comics images with versions taken from Comixology and Humble Bundle releases.  ''Spotlight'' as a category is ''massive'', so I've made a checklist for myself to keep track of which volume I need to be looking at.
{{main|Transformers Legends (franchise)}}
[[File:TF-Legends-LG25-Blurr.jpg|thumb|200px|''Legends'' Blurr received a drastically different deco compared to its Hasbro release.]]
The ''Titans Return'' line did not see release in Japanese markets; [[TakaraTomy]] instead elected to roll its toy molds into the concurrent ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]'' toyline.  ''Legends'' releases were differentiated by their markedly different colours schemes, often including newly-tooled faces, generally attempting to replicate each character's appearance as seen in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Generation 1 cartoons|original Generation 1 anime series]].  With the absence of a dedicated Titan Master Class price point, ''Legends'' released the single-packed Titan Master toolings split up as pack-in partners with larger toys; examples include the ''Titans Return'' [[Siren (G1)#Titans Return|Loudmouth]] toy, which became the separate robot [[Shūta Gō#Legends|Goshooter]] and vehicle [[Cargot#Toys|Cargo]], and the ''Titans Return'' [[Horri-Bull#Titans Return|Terri-Bull]] toy, which became [[Bullhorn (G1)#Legends|Bullhorn]] and [[Tankette#Toys|Tankette]].  This even extended to Titan Master Repugnus; for Japanese fans to get a complete "Repug", they had to purchase his [[Repugnus (G1)#Legends|head]] and [[Repugnus (G1)#PartnerDrone|body/vehicle]] separately with [[Brawn (G1)/toys#LG48|Gong]] and [[Broadside (G1)#Legends|Broadside]] respectively.  As the line proceeded, the amount of retooled parts increased from merely new faces to dedicated new Titan Master molds, extensive changes to the toy's appearance, and even one completely original Leader-sized toy.


Associated fiction generally repurposed the Titan Masters as [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmasters]] (with larger [[Transtector]] bodies), though in toy terms, they remain cross-compatible with the Titan Master head swapping gimmick.  The ''Titans Return'' compatible toys in ''Legends'' are as follows:

Evidently thinking they'd mastered the concept, Hasbro and Takara would frequently dip back in the ''Titans Return'' well whenever a toy necessitated Titan Master engineering.  The toyline for the live-action movie ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'', which overlapped with the tail end of ''Titans Return'', introduced a pair of molds to represent new Titan Master-compatible characters. Elsewhere, existing tooling would be used to represent anything from new takes on old characters to real-life Japanese celebrities.  New toy designs based on Titan Master engineering were still being produced for the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toylines in 2020, four years after the debut of ''Titans Return''; of these, ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Snapdragon (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Snapdragon]] would herald a sea change in terminology, with his product copy referring to his small partner [[Krunk#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Krunk]] as a Titan Master and Headmaster interchangeably. The G1 nomenclature was retained for the subsequent ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Retro Headmasters (2020)|Retro Headmasters]]'' line, which brought certain ''Legends'' toolings to Western audiences, and it also appeared in the [[Source:Buzzworthy Bumblebee Worlds Collide|product write-up]] for ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' [[Fangry (G1)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Fangry]] and [[Brisko#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Brisko]].

====Hoist/The Waiting Game====
Following ''Titans Return'', the next and final instalment of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'' was ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]''.  This line featured the unified gimmick of "powering up", whether that meant gaining the abilities of one of the [[Thirteen|original Thirteen Primes]], [[Combiner|combining]], or evolving to [[Prime (rank)|Primehood]].

File:SpotlightHoistNoMurder.jpg
The line introduced the [[Prime Master]]s – small robots directly based on the engineering of the Titan Masters.  Instead of transforming into heads, the Prime Masters could become "spark modes" to slot into the Prime Armor of various figures, or into the Matrix handles included with the larger toys (see below).  Prime Masters ''can'' still be used as heads for ''Titans Return'' compatible figures, though the front of each spark mode features the [[insignia]] of that particular Prime and [[empurata|your mileage may vary]] on how well it resembles a face.

Deluxe and Voyager Class toys in ''Power of the Primes'' revisit ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style combination; each Deluxe includes a Prime Armor chestplate that doubles as a combiner hand, and each Voyager includes a pair of bracers that form combiner feet.  Each of these armor accessories features a slot to hold a Prime Master in spark mode – or, indeed, an [[Enigma of Combination]], one of which was also included in each Voyager Class release.

Spotlight images

[edit]

I been working on replacing all pre-digital IDW comics images with versions taken from Comixology and Humble Bundle releases. Spotlight as a category is massive, so I've made a checklist for myself to keep track of which volume I need to be looking at.
