![]() ![]() I'm really glad these were added in as I think it was a missed opportunity not to do so last year. This extends the line into the zone past the number ten. Traditional tech specs only go from one to ten, but these tech specs take into account the Titan Master being combined with the Transformer. These are laid out on the X axis of a bar chart with lines going across from a scale of one through twenty. The four icons are: A robot flexing arms (strength), a character running (speed), a brain (intelligence) and a missile (firepower). ![]() The back features something fans have wanted since last year: tech specs! These are not traditional specs with a full motto and so on, but instead there are four qualities reflected here (via icons). The front features the character's artwork, giving you a better look at the full body. However these cards are shaped differently, with corners cut out on two sides. Titans Return figures come with a collector card, similar to last year's "Combiner Wars" series. Sentinel Prime's co-sells are Nightbeat, Hardhead, Galvatron and Powermaster Optimus Prime. The right side of the back features the "eco system" for the Titan Master system, illustrating that the Titan Masters can work with various size classes. The back features all three of Sentinel's modes along with Infinitus in both modes. The side of the box features a more extensive look at the artwork. On the upper left hand corner you'll see a symbol with a robot, jet and car indicating the figure is a triple changer. Interestingly the names are listed as "Autobot Infinitus & Sentinel Prime", giving the Titan Master priority. The lower left side has a bit of Sentinel's artwork with the "Titans Return" logo under it. The figure is packaged in robot mode in the center and off to the side you can see the Tech Specs card. The background of the box is black and the right side of the box (if you are facing the box) has the vertical Transformers logo on it with the "Generations" logo above that. The Voyager Class packaging for "Titans Return" is very similar to the "Combiner Wars" packaging. Now he makes his appearance in the G1 inspired "Generations" toy line in an all new form as a Titan Master. The name would appear again in "Dark of the Moon". Sentinel Prime is a name that was introduced back in the G1 era, but he was never a major character until after the 2000's when a character with that name became a feature character in "Transformers Animated". While most of the figures in the first wave of "Titans Return" figures are based on G1 characters, this one is not. In true "Generations" fashion, Titans Return gives us characters from the Headmasters era in new forms. In some ways the story resembles "Armada" which had a similar conceit for the Mini-Cons. Titan Masters focuses on the return of small robots to Cybertron that can unlock incredible power, and it is up to the Transformers to merge with them and harness those abilities and strengths. Now almost thirty years after they were originally introduced the Headmaster gimmick has returned in a new form: Titan Masters! Headmasters were Transformers whose heads detached and became smaller figures that could then pilot or ride the Transformers in beast and vehicle forms (or in a couple cases, their battle station or city forms!). In 1987 Hasbro and Takara took a bold step into a new play pattern by introducing Headmasters. Once figures like Combiners were introduced it became clear Transformers could be more than just a robot that changed from one form to another. Very early on in the life of the Transformers line the toy line began to move away from the sole gimmick of transformation. The Autobot Infinitus figure becomes the head of the Sentinel Prime figure. This Titans Return Voyager Class Autobot Sentinel Prime figure comes with a Titan Master Autobot Infinitus figure. The Titan Master Autobot Infinitus gives Sentinel Prime temporary invincibility by shielding him with a forcefield. One of the most powerful warriors who has ever lived, the former Autobot leader looks to impose his will on a universe that sits on the edge of full-blown war.
