So disappointed you didn’t go with TriKlops and Shockwave…

Like I said, it's harder than it looks. Does Trap Jaw work as Soundwave? Not sure Beastman and Merman work as anyone, at least from early-ish G1. I guess they could all wear various Seeker/Conehead armors.
Having recently looked up the MOTU/WWE line, my first thought was to make Triklops Man-E-Faces, like, three Seekers. Maybe the coneheads.
But reallyTriklops Man-E-Faces works well for (Animated/T30 style) Blitzwing.
Two Bad can have Rumble/Frenzy armor.
Fisto can have X-Brawn themed armor (is he ambidextrous?). If this has to be a Geewun lens I'll take an Ironhide I guess.
Modulok can have, idk, Devastator armor.

Yep!
Nah, Modulok should be matched with Devas--
Okay, now that was just rude.
The Hot Wheels stuff looks great. These are the perfect crossovers. No shoving existing Transformers characters into alt modes that really don't fit their colors, and no awkward attempt to resemble organic characters either.
they remind me of something we'd have gotten during like the UT days or something idk
Back when toy people made toys.
Not remake 30+ year old designs or try and make a physical model from whatever graphic Designers whipped up for a new show or movie.
Back when Hasbro had little reverence for the past, always looking forward and never looking back.
Back when Soundwave was forbidden to ever become a cassette player or even a non-vehicular object ever again (Takara's MP3 player Soundwave had no creative input from Hasbro).

I guess nobody told the Titanium designers.
Heh, Galoob not having creative input from Hasbro proper on those figures is a strong factor for why so many of those figures turned out the way they did.
It’s not that they didn’t have reverence, they just didn’t let the brand’s past define it for all time.
The Galoob naming was a trademark grab on the Micro Machines/Titanium lines. “Galoob” functionally stopped existing several years earlier.
Maybe "the Titanium line design team", then. There were separate teams for that and the main TF stuff, right?
Man, it's frustrating that Titanium was basically the only outlet we had for War Within stuff. Which is now either in limbo due to Dreamwave being Dreamwave or internally viewed as being superseded by IDW stuff. Those were cool designs I still want as toys.

I don't know...any Animated Blitzwing that does NOT wind up with a Man-E-Faces crossover I think missed the boat, despite the hero/villain mix being off.
... Well, damn it, THAT illustrates my MOTU noobishness like nothing else. I've been saying "Triklops" while thinking of "Man-E-Faces" the whole time. I'll edit the above posts to reflect that.
Don't feel so bad. I'm probably one of the few people on this board who has never ever seen or read any He-Man fiction at all (besides the old Nostalgia Critic reviews of the Chirstmas special and live-action movie, and the old Nostalgia Chick review of the She-Ra pilot movie) because I have zero interest in that franchise.
No worries, He-Man has about a BAZILLION characters, and a great many of them overlap their gimmicks (arm-swapping Roboto/Triclops, three faces/eyes rotating, neck/limbs extending, battle armor EVERYONE, etc), I don't know them all and I had a Skeletor the year he came out for the first time...
