Titans Return is a 2016 multimedia branding used by Hasbro, encompassing Transformers toys, comics, and other merchandise. It focuses on Titan Masters (renamed from the Headmasters of the 1980s).
As the second installment in the Prime Wars Trilogy,[1] Titans Return follows the Combiner Wars subline.
Toys
Following the conclusion of the Generations toyline's Combiner Wars subline imprint, it was refreshed with Titans Return branding. This new subline ushered in a new, unified play pattern whereby most toys have a detachable head which transforms into a robot of its own, a Titan Master. Voyager Class toys are Triple Changers while Leader Class toys have a base mode. Furthermore, some Legends Class toys can also interact with Titan Masters.
Takara released these molds under the Legends banner, utilizing the toys as new forms of classic characters from The Headmasters and Super-God Masterforce cartoons.
SDCC comic
At San Diego Comic-Con 2016, Hasbro released a catalog comic highlighting the first and second waves of Titans Return toys, expanding upon the toy bios.
IDW comic
Similarly to "Dark Cybertron" with the Thrilling 30 toyline and "Combiner Wars", IDW Publishing produced an "event" storyline tying into Titans Return, which overlapped with the IDW "Revolution" event.
Notes
- The SDCC exclusive Titan Force 3-pack included a map of 15 worlds. It's labeled in Cybertronian "Titans Return" and "Find the 13". Also labeled in Cybertronian are fifteen planets, some culled from Transformers mythology and some original creations: Micron, Botropolis, Aquatron, Gigantion, Biosfera, Velocitron, Earth, Caminus, Antilla, Junkion, Nebulon, Dominius, Paradron, Cybertron, and Unicron.
- The poster given away with the SDCC version of Titans Return Fortress Maximus also features Cybertronian writing along the bottom that says "They voyaged far with worlds to seed, on their return the smallest voice do heed."
