A couple more Galvatron shots, focusing on his Head/Titanmaster Nucleon.

While unpainted except for the eyes, the head is a nicely-detailed likeness of Galvatron. With a little paint, the flip-out faceplate would be unneeded.

The head becomes Nucleon, who looks like a tiny Megatron, a reference to the fact that Galvatron is traditionally an upgraded Megatron.

On the right, Titan Wars Galvatron (again - loving this figure.) On the left, TF: Energon Megatron, who was modeled after Galvatron and got a purple repaint called Galvatron.

Not the most convincing truck mode, but a very fun figure with cool features - two missile launchers, a sword and a built-in flight pack. Most of the bad guys in Beast Hunters turned into dragons, and Prime looks ready to handle that!

My small collection Titans Return Autobots - Hardhead, Wheelie and Blurr.

As TR figures, they all either have a companion figure that become the head, or the ability to interact with such figures, Titan Masters. If you look closely, you can see Blurr's partner Hyperfire in his driver seat. Wheelie's car mode is a little unstable - the pegs aren't as solid as they ought to be. The others are very good in vehicle mode.

Wheelie doesn't come with a Titan Master, but has a seat for one. At the moment, he's got Hyperfire in the driver's seat. Here you can also see Furos (or Duros as he was called in G1) in Hardhead's driver seat.

The figures have multiple ways of interacting with Titan Masters. Hardhead's cannon opens to reveal a control seat, occupied here by Hyperfire.

Finally, robot modes. All are very true to the classic designs, even with the addition of the Headmaster/Titanmaster feature to Blurr. Good posability on all figures, and the heads stay attached solidly. Wheelie's been in that side kick pose for a couple hours now, with no sign of sagging joints. All in all the new line looks to be quite well done.

They did a hell of a job there on Titan Wars Galvatron

Yup. The best Galvatron we've gotten. It would be nice if he could turn his head with the faceplate in place, of course. But there are mods for that, and I'm considering painting the crown detailing on Nucleon's Galvahead mode to bring out the likeness. With a bit of paint, the faceplate would be entirely unnecessary.

 

Energon Megatron was kind of my Galvatron stand-in for years. I could have gotten the actual Energon Galvatron (same figure painted purple) for the job, but I didn't like the overall look, despite making the galvatron homage much stronger.

As the forum messes up facebook links Ive inserted it in code brackets

 

HA!  I like explosions, so perfect. And the bullet holes on the walls.   They have done a good job with the video.

My latest purchase - the figure I was most waiting for in Titans Return - Powermaster Optimus Prime. It's an update of my favorite G1 figure. An extensive remold of Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus, though apart from sharing the general transformation and both being trucks, there's not a lot of commonality left - a lot was changed.

Base mode - not the official one, but a fan one that approximates the base of the original toy. Manning the base are his Titan Master Apex (Hi-Q for the G1 fans) and Hyperfire, Blurr's TM.

 

20160818_175315987_iOS.jpg

 

Truck mode. Again, similar to the original.

20160818_185506533_iOS.jpg

 

Robot mode, with Titan Master Apex in place. Apex's head mode is modeled after Orion Pax, Optimus' identity before being rebuilt into Prime

With helmet in place, Prime looks the part - the head is a great homage to the original PMOP super mode.

And finally, Prime in robot mode, with all weapons attached. His chest armor is modeled after Hi-Q in engine mode from the original toy. The Titan Master feature replaces the Powermaster engine of the original, but the change doesn't make the figure any less fun.

A comparison shot between the new Powermaster Optimus Prime and the original from G1. The new figure does a good job of evoking the original design (which was, of course meant to be evocative of the Diaclone-based Prime). There are some differences - the chest armor on the new is meant to be a callback to Hi-Q in engine mode, seen on the original's abdomen. But it's a bit too large for the homage to be completely effective.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
