Toys

Titans Return

• Daburu & Autobot Twinferno (Deluxe Class, 2016)

• Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro), Ken Christiansen (concept artist)

Available in the third wave of Titans Return Deluxes, packed in with his larger partner Twinferno, Daburu transforms from a robot modeled after the Beastformer White Leo into a head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger Titans Return figure.

This set turned out to be a pretty major shelfwarmer.

Appropriately, Daburu was redecoed in Japan to make Legends White Leo, the small Headmaster partner of Legends Doublecross. Daburu was also retooled into Titans Return Fengul and as Legends Platinum Tiger. It was also retooled to make Dastard and Hedgehog.

Notes

• "Daburu" (ダブル) is "double" borrowed into Japanese.
• His robot mode homages White Leo, leader of the Autobot-allied Beastformers, complete with eyepatch! Because of this, Jim Sorenson combined the two character/toy concepts for Beast Wars: Uprising.^[2]
