AUTOBOT BLASTER TITANS RETURN FULL

If you really stretch your imagination there are also rear vertical stabilizers formed from the rear legs of the beast mode which, while not thin are in the right place at least. Sure the front has a cockpit section with a nice pointy nosecone and there are wings. This form is meant to be a jet but it's a bit of a tough sell.

Such is the challenge faced by the designers of this figure and the results of this challenge are demonstrated heavily in Stripes' vehicle form. This goes even more so for smaller figures. When you try to create a triple-changing figure, there are always challenges due in part to limited budgets and just how much functionality you can squeeze into one figure. Since Stripes is not a Titan Master, there is no additional ten points of power on the scale that you would find on say, the tech specs card for Skullsmasher's tech specs card. These are laid out on the X axis of a bar chart with lines going across from a scale of one through ten.

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. The back features the figure in all modes along with the requisite legal information in multiple languages.

If you are facing the card, the artwork for the character is on the left while the Transformers logo is set vertically on the right. The style continues the style used for the 'Combiner Wars' Legends Class figures such as Powerglide. Stripes is packaged in a bubble sealed on a card. This was a Japanese exclusive toy however, so this makes Stripes' first release as a part of a toy line released outside Japan. He would later be replaced with Ramhorn in the movie, but in 2012 a figure was finally released of the character, a redeco of G1 Ravage. In the original draft of the script for 1986's 'Transformers: The Movie' Stripes was going to be one of Blaster's cassette force who took on Soundwave's team. Unlike Rewind he is not a really well known character but technically he is a 'Generation One' character. One of the first Legends Class 'Titans Return' figures is Stripes. While other size classes in the 'Titans Return' line focus on the 'Headmaster' style play pattern, the Legends Class rolls forward bringing modern day versions of smaller G1 characters to life. Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro. Also includes a collectible character card with tech specs. Subject to availability.) The figure changes from beast mode to spy tablet mode in 7 steps, and from spy tablet mode to vehicle mode in 6. In spy tablet mode, the figure fits inside the chest compartment of the Titans Return Leader Class Autobot Blaster figure. This Legends Class Autobot Stripes figure is a Triple Changer figure that converts from beast mode to vehicle mode to spy tablet mode. Titans Return Legends Class figures deliver exciting Transformers conversion play in a smaller scale. Autobot Stripes is trained in stealth tactics, but he's ferocious enough to fight his way out of trouble if the Decepticons detect his energy signature. He was created by the Autobots to counter the Decepticon spy Soundwave and his team.
