![]() The back of the packaging shows off the stock photography for the photo but more importantly, it shows off a diagram explaining the way the Titan Master play system works. The side has the now familiar "Generations" logo with an Autobot symbol on it and the vertical "Transformers" logo under it. While entire bodies were drawn for this line, the packaging zooms in to the chest and head to focus on the Titan Master gimmick, wth the head hovering a bit over the body as if it is about to connect. Most of the backing card is plastered with a close up of the character's package art. The side of the insert gives you a look at the character's artwork. An insert shows you the alt mode along with the names of the Titan Master and character along with the "Titans Return" logo. The figure is packaged in robot mode with its weapons to the side. The Titans Return packaging uses the design of the last few years and updates it. While that version was awesome it was not available at mass retail, so this is the first time fans can easily add Chromedome to their collections in a long time. ![]() Bumblebee was my main Mini-Car, Hot Rod was my main Targetmaster and Chromedome was my main Headmaster and he led my Autobots on many missions over the years.Ĭhromedome is fairly well known among fandom, but interestingly the only recent action figure of the character was the Timelines version. See, Chromedome was the very first Headmaster I ever owned, and in my youth my family could not afford to buy entire waves of figures for me, so every figure was precious and represented his "kind". However at the risk of sounding cliche, I was into Chromedome before it was fashionable. Sure right now he is immensely popular because of his appearance in the IDW Publishing comic book (in part due to his relationship with Rewind). I have a very specific attachment to the character of Chromedome. In true "Generations" fashion, Titans Return gives us characters from the Headmasters era in new forms that pay homage to the originals. 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 twenty 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. Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.Įarly on in the life of the Transformers line the toy line began to move away from the sole gimmick of transformation. Also includes 2 blaster accessories and a collectible character card with tech specs. ![]() When the Chromedome figure is in vehicle mode, the Autobot Stylor figure fits inside.
