The TF Collectors Club has been teasing another fan favourite release along with the Seacons. I am wondering if it could possibly be the WW Grimlock we saw a while back posted by Don Figueroa?

If not, perhaps we could see this mold for Botcon?

I really want WW Grims, I could see them releasing it at botcon as part of a War Within boxset, with a skywarp repaint of the screamer mold to kind of complete the WW seekers.

Thoughts?

Just to stir it up a bit let's speculate on what else could be in such a supposed boxed set. WW Prowl was already supposed to have had the moulds created as well as Grimlock so that would be a no brainer. A repaint for Bluestreak would then be possible. To round it out to five (no larger toys, but die-cast instead of all plastic to balance it against previous sets) a Nemesis repaint of Prime, wasn't in the comics but I'm pushing it to think of any more obvious ones from existing moulds.

Since we got the Dark (filler names be damned) Rodimus for an SDCC exclusive this year though, I wouldn't be surprised to see Skywarp going the same way next year. Of course it's still possible that Grimlock and Prowl may still show up at retail at some point down the line. Far as I know the last word from Hasbro was that the line was coming to an end after that wave.

Either way I hope this mold sees production even if it is limited.

Titanium seems to be the only place collectors will be able to have toy versions of the WW series, that being the case, no grimlock just leaves the entire thing hanging.

Good call on Prowl, that would be sweet. I like the Nemesis Prime idea too. My boxset would be Grimlock, Prowl, Nemesis Prime, Skywarp and the recent Cosmos mold that has been floating around.

Wouldn't surprise me if Hasbro made a Trypticon repaint from the Grimlock mold to get their $$$ worth.

My friend at Target is saving one for me, a.k.a. Toyotus Superion. It's the only shipment they got this weekend. I wonder if it's the same Grimlock you guys are talking about. His alt mode is a tank, after all.

Cosmos is a no go I'm affraid. As far as we know Grimlock and Prowl both got beyond the proto stage and had moulds produced. The Cosmos, Bumblebee/Cliffjumper, Arcee and Shockwave that were seen on the Botcon tour this year didn't get moulds produced and the cost of creating the moulds, even with the design work already done, would be too much for Fun Publications to cover for a limited run exclusive.

I hear you, shame though. I have always thought that if Dreamwave could have held out just a little longer, and the WW series had properly concluded, we would have seen A LOT more WW product.

I vote NO to both options. It's bad enough the remaining G1 Classic Seekers were exclusives, I will be beyond pissed if they make the final Titaniums, especially one I've been waiting less-than-patiently for exclusives as well.

Target might have Titanium War Within Grimlock....

Wait, saving you a what? We've never seen packaged versions, are you telling me that WWI Grimlock is in stores now?

I'm a little confused. Titanium Fallen and WWI Megatron are both tanks that have been released recently that he may be talking about.

Can you clear that up for us?

Yes, I think it is the Grimlock that Donfig was talking about. I showed a photo to Mario, and he said yep, it is indeed WWI Grimlock.

Sure it's Grimlock? We only seen a proto so far and no announcement about any WW Grimlocks have been made on the front page nor the sightings page.

Only tanks that have been released in the Titanium line so far are WW Megatron, The Fallen and G.I. Joe Megatron.

If you could get proof, like in your hands, and with a pic, I'd love to front page it, but this would be out of the blue news indeed! :-?

I will go on Thursday to pick him up.

Of course. ^-^ Ask Toyotus Superion, he is on here.

If this gets fully confirmed and Prowl is in the same wave then ebay should have plenty of them turning up with exagerated price tags over the next few weeks.

I really hope WWI Grimlock and Prowl see general release very soon. If either were to become TTCC exclusives I would be soooo pissed off. I hate TTCC and their overpriced excluisives that you have to pay an extortionate annual supscription fee to get a chance of buying.

Yours AK

I'm checking with him, if he answers PMs. Thanks. We all hope this is happening!

And I also hope Prowl is there too. :-?

I am seriously doubtful this is actually WW Grims we are talking about.

How would this release slip by? Why is it not on preorder ANYWHERE? I have a feeling these pictures are going to be of Fallen or Megs.

I'll have to pick him up on Saturday morning, please be patient everyone. Because my friend does not go to work at Target on Fridays, and he has break today.

LOL, I wish I was wrong, but Seibertron would have announced this in some shape or form.

I will hope for the best....

Unless, nobody knows. I have contacted Toyotus and he is supposed to get us pictures, and Obsidian gets it first he can share with us. If it turns out not correct, nothing is lost, but yeah, it would be an awesome, out of no where surprise.
