Titanmaster Clobber as Grimlock’s Brainmaster?

While never used in fiction, brainmasters were intended to be like little symbiotic extensions of larger transformers that could interact with smaller life forms and objects safely, while also interfacing to increase admirable qualities such as strength-optimization algorithms, or courage, skill, or intelligence.

So Clobber could be that for POTP Grimlock. Perhaps due to being the “same entity but different” at same time you could have Clobber being a good G1 cartoon conscience to a Marvel-comics inspired larger half, staying in one of his gauntlet accessories that can store matrixes, titanmasters or prime masters. 

Same could be done for Ptero and Swoop...but Imo the armor  doesn’t look good on Swoop so I’d have him be loaned out to Grimlock for storing in other gauntlet

🎫 Strayshot

Ough, that will be an interesting one.

He is gruff and mean and oh so scared of the higher powers he works for, because he has seen what they can do a mech who wanders out of line and he doesn't want to be that mech. An enforcer's job is to carry out the will of the government and not protect the people, right? Right. His new partner Prowl doesn't see it that way, sadly. He can already see his helm dangling from the Prime's servo as he holds it up, posing as an example, showing everyone the fate that awaits those who question the infallibility of their leaders.

Strayshot reprimands him a lot for going easy on suspects and witnesses - which is the morally correct way to carry out any investigation. Not that he cares. A favorite hobby of his is to criticize his partners and all fifteen Prowls before this one have caved in to his cruelties. So why is the sixteenth persevering? He may never know. The new guy is a good actor - he may fool everyone else but not him. No, Strayshot of Praxus is the only one who can see behind his guise, or so he thinks.

He dies very early during a chase because he was made only to be killed off just so that Barricade can be assigned to Prowl as his new partner. The two of them are a much better team than he and Strayshot had been anyway. Uh, yeah. That's all there is for this guy.

because outliers are so common on Aventuras, some cultures actually consider more powerful people to be lower on the social ladder! Divinex for example considers Titanmasters and cityspeakers to be the ones with the highest social obligation to serve and be subservient, and anyone with sufficient aptitude and skill is pressed into service in Triumpha's guts, below the grand towers of Jubilee. (consequently, Triumpha and the rest of the Titans all have a host of cityspeakers rather than a single representative!) loadbearers are a step above those, and then a whole variety of sparktypes and special abilities sorted into a sort of social hierarchy that will determine your fate, maybe comparable to functionism. being superpowered on this planet might not be as cool as it looks at first glance

of course, people with no special ability at all are dull and will face their own discrimination, so it may just be a lose-lose all around!

Meet Lodestar

Full Name: Lodestar, Titan of Guidance

Date of Discovery: Mon 06 / Dei 31 / 1500 AH

Favourite Colour: Midnight Blue

Hobbies/Likes: Exploration

Dislikes/Fears: Being alone

-Lodestar's lack of memories prior to arriving on Acadeimos are thought to be the result of the crash isolating memories from context, and efforts have been made to try and remind Lodestar of possible events in the past, with lack of meaningful progress. Some have even started to speculate that her memories aren't isolated but lost altogether, though the idea is kinda self-defeating enough that the crew'd rather not discuss it.

-Internal exploration of Lodestar's robot mode revealed that she lacked the internal forges some Titans possess, which means she lacks the ability to create new sparks, and also might not have the ability to terraform areas to create accommodations, as these two abilities are commonly believed to be tied to each other. Lodestar is somewhat disappointed by the lack of terraformation abilities after seeing one of her fellow Titans manage to do so, but is seemingly unbothered otherwise.

-One time she got hit by a solar eruption, and managed to protect all her occupants from tech loss and severe power overload... but then she spent a whole earth solar cycle acting like a normal-sized Cybertronian would after heavily hitting the Engex, including some incoherent babbling about how pretty the night sky was and accusing Lightbright of being too focused on her duties as de-facto captain and navigator to have any real fun. Upon recovering her faculties, all involved in the incident have resolved to never speak of the incident again.

-Technically speaking, Lodestar seems to have formed a secondary Titanmaster bond to Maxima, allowing Maxima to easily take over if Lightbright is incapacitated. This is an uncommon trait even among the few Titanmasters known, and is believed to be a result of Maxima's origins. Of course, such theories fail to account for sisterly bonds.

Dear, Vector Prime.

Who is Borebit's Titanmaster?

Dear Borebit Bemused,

Unfortunately Borebit never survived long enough to gain a partnership with a Nebulan Titanmaster. Instead he had, as one of the warriors who served under Star Saber, a Brainmaster. In his case I think it was the Brain of Endurance. Of course, when things with Star Saber turned out the way they did, he and his partner Corkscrew fell in with Perceptor's resistance group.

[retrofuturisticrobot]

I think Hasbro missed a trick by not doing Stardrive I'm Transformers titans return with Rom SpaceKnight as her titanmaster partner. I hope we haven't seen the last of these characters.

[vangeluscentral]

Considering Transformers has been exploring Scrambler City gestalts and Headmasters with Combiner Wars and Titans Return, do you think future Transformers lines will explore things like the Powermasters? Or do you think that too similar to the Titans Return gimmick to merit its own line?

it's been over 5 years and I feel like the answer turned out to be "powermasters are neater when slotted into being titanmasters and cassettes and etc", but hey Legacy could flip the paradigm

Digibash idea I had at work today

A fusion of Wingthing and Tyrannitron by an accident involving either spelunking inside the remains of Unicron or invading a Quintesson lab, the split loyalties of the new being are capricious and often self-serving, becoming a mercenary.

A set of Titan Masters commissioned by Arbitrary Hero! Lots of fun to work on with all the details.

[allspark]

Flying into the Allspark Studio at 9999 Powered Knots is the Autobot team that’s in the Zone, Road Fire, Sonic Bomber and Dai Atlus!  Is this Big Powered group of Autobots going to defend your shelves from Violen Jiger and his Decepticon Generals, or will they spend their time in jet mode making rainbows?  Tune in after the break to find out!

I start this review off by saying that if you don’t know anything about these characters, go straight to the TFWiki right now and do your research.  Go ahead and click on all the links.  We’ll wait…

  OK, now that you are all caught up, let’s take a look at a neat set of Japanese exclusive updates to…Japanese exclusive Transformers from the early 90’s era of the franchise!

   Road Fire

Road Fire is a solid remold of one of my favorite childhood characters and Titans Return molds, Twin Twist.  Remolded parts include the kneecaps, chest piece, the entire cockpit mechanism, Titanmaster head and faceplate. 

  Road Fire Vehicle Mode

Road Fire is a Cybertronian tank.  While he may not have any “Master” launching mechanism like the G1 figure does, he is able to store a “Master” class figure in his turret, which features a nice cockpit for storage of the head in vehicle mode.  I love the aggressiveness of the vehicle mode and appreciate that they maintained the double cockpit look of the G1 figure, which makes it appear that this guy takes Cybertronian and Human pilots.  I personally prefer to flip the treads up to give the vehicle the appearance of a hover tank…which would make sense for Cybertron.  Another cool “feature” is that the turret can be rotated back on top of the tank body, giving it a squatter, more Terran look.  This is a great vehicle, no matter the style you prefer, but you do have choices.

  Road Fire Robot Mode

His colors nicely contrasting white, red, blue and black, with bits of orange highlights in a few spots like the knees and chest.  He balances and poses about the same as Twin Twist, unless you have him holding his “Burst cannon”, which tends to make him heavier in whatever direction it is placed.  One nice “feature” on his robot mode is the chest compartment that holds the connector for vehicle Big Powered mode.  Pressing on the Autobot symbol pops open the compartment, revealing what I will be imagining as his spark chamber.  In addition to having a great color scheme based on a mold I already loved, I have to say the best bonus is adding this guy to my “Jumpstarter” team, which you can see in these reviews: Topspin-|-Twin Twist.

  Sonic Bomber

Sonic Bomber is a heavy remold of Titans Return Crossfire.  So heavy, in fact, that it would be easier for me to tell you what is NOT remolded.  Parts that remain the same as the original are the thighs and hips, the inner hip piece that has the hip ball joint posts, the entire arm assemblies, and the Titanmaster thighs and torso plate.

  Sonic Bomber Vehicle Mode

Taking into consideration all the extra parts in this remold, especially in the robot feet which form the back/wing section of this figure, it is not a huge surprise that it looks so distinct from Misfire, very accurately approximating the bomber mode of the original toy.  As a jet it holds together well.  It maintains the “Titanmaster” cockpit, though it is molded in solid black plastic, so the smaller robot is hidden from view.  Overall, I like this mode, but I do have one minor complaint. The original Sonic Bomber sported a yellow rifle, which broke up all the black in jet mode a bit nicer than the black rifle the LG EX version has.  It’s not a major issue, but it would have been nice to get it in yellow, especially considering how close the rest of the jet mode gets to the G1 toy’s appearance.

  Sonic Bomber Robot Mode

Takara did a phenomenal job recreating an updated Sonic Bomber robot mode.  While some liberties were taken (mostly in the arms) this figure is a nice amalgamation of the G1 toy and animation model. Most importantly, the reds, whites, blues and yellows are pretty much in the right spots, with the exception of a few details on the legs.  The chest piece and robot head really top off a spot-on look.  The QC on my Sonic Bomber is great as well, apart from the hips being looser than the rest of his joints, and the ball joints for the feet being a little too tight.  Still, he looks really cool in robot mode, he poses well, and gives the Autobots some additional air support.  He gets an A in my book.

  Dai Atlus

Dai Atlus is another super heavy remold of a Titans Return figure, this time being Black, er… Sky Shadow.  Again, this figure has so many parts it will be faster to identify those which were not remolded.  Original mold parts include the feet, knee/tread section of the lower legs, thighs, hips, inner shoulder assemblies, and the entire Titanmaster, minus the head and faceplate.

  Dai Atlus Jet Mode

This figure is neat because it technically has two vehicle modes, “Drill Tank” and “Jet”.  Both modes are very similar and require a bit more suspension of disbelief than normal for Transformers, but they are neat and harken back nicely to the original figure.  Other than the weirdness of being a jet sitting on tank treads, I don’t have anything bad to say about these modes.  They are what they are, but at least they hold together nicely, which was one of my fears ever since I saw the promotional images.

  Dai Atlus Robot Mode

Robot mode is really where this figure should shine.  Before I bring up the issues, let’s look at what does work.  The original Dai Atlus figure was the definition of a G1 brick.  I’m not sure anything other than the arms was capable of movement.  This figure gives us a fully poseable, “anime” styled update with a few cues to the toy details as well.  He also has tons of articulation (even more than Sky Shadow), which should make for the perfect recreation of a G1 character…but the new parts mess that up.  This is where I am less happy with how the figure turned out.  The waist piece blocks the forward movement of the legs, limiting his poseability.  Additionally, while the new part connecting the lower and upper halves of the body in vehicle mode provides some waist articulation, it makes for a somewhat wobbly upper body that just does not feel as solid as it should.  Do not misunderstand me, I love this set, and I like this figure, and I am really glad we got it…but this is the one spot where it really falls short.

  Base Mode

All of these figures can form base modes.  I have never been a huge fan of base modes, but I never had any Transformers that had them when I was a child, so they don’t hit me in the nostalgia like they might hit you.  They do sit together nicely as a set of bases.  It’s a thing kids would love…if this was a set that was cheap enough to let kids play with it.  Hey HasbroPulse…

Big Powered Mode

Not only does Big Powered magically shoot rainbows from its backside like a Squatty Potty Unicorn, it is held together mostly by magic as well.  I mean, magic, and a few peg/ports.  2 peg ports.  It connects with two connectors.  Basically, you put each vehicle in its “Big Powered Mode” form, then clamp Road Fire on top of Dai Atlus via that clip in Road Fire’s chest, then you peg under Dai Atlus using the 5mm port on the just behind Sonic Bomber’s hidden Titanmaster cockpit.  Two connectors get you this rainbow spewing wonder.   It’s both a mess and an absolute beauty to behold.  I think I love it.

  Recommendation

Big Powered gets 8 Energon Z’s out of 10.  It gives us a nice update of a set of hard to acquire G1 bricks as a group of pretty decent figures.  It is faithful to many of the important details, but the molds have downsides, especially Dai Atlus.  Should the downsides stop you from getting this set?  Absolutely not!  It may not be perfect, but it is fun, and will definitely be a focal point for conversations when you have friends checking out your collection.  Get it now, while you still can!

Ahshdhdj thank you for the explanation post! However there are some characters I don't recognize, those being Solduron, Apex Ginrai, Physis, and Logos Prime. Also, how did Heatwave make the Hydrafire Blasters? Isn't he still a toddler?

for the most part, the various Knights of Cybertron who made these relics aren't, in fact, super important, outside of a meta sense of recognizing another canon name peppered into SNAP lore. they're looooong dead historical figures that have little influence over what's going on today, outside of a possible ghost left inside their relics

Solduron was a set of armor invented by Primacron, an alien POW back during the God War. Apex Ginrai was the first Titanmaster, and essentially my version of the canon human Ginrai. Physis... now Physis is some meta stuff, but essentially all you need to know is it was a moth. a very meta moth, much like another moth, perhaps? and then Logos is one of the Thirteen original Primes in this canon, a trinemate of Quintus and Vector. you can see him being a dumb teen over at @ask-the-firstforged which i have NOT abandoned i simply do not have the time to draw and haven't for a good while

Heatwave the ancient powerful Knight just happens to share a name with bitty baby Heatwave Pax! repeated/shared names are fairly common in this universe. kind of like how it only took one Alexander the Great for the name to be common across multiple cultures even thousands of years later, there's a good number of folks with historical, traditional, or religious names. there's plenty of Megatrons/other variants of Megatronus-es, there's been several Optimuses who became Primes throughout history, and Servo is the most common religious name as a traditional term for the Guiding Hand. heck, some folks are named after the Knights' relics, like Star Saber the teacher, or Terminus the junker, or even a young Knight named Terminus millions of years ago who was the last to use an uncorrupted Terminus Blade, his namesake, before he was slain and the relic stolen
