Hm... War Within Megatron isn't that impressive in tank mode. Still, the robot mode looks sweet and I've been wanting one.

And there's War Within Ultra Magnus?

I agree about Megs... tank mode is not that great but bot mode is good enough to buy. Im so excited about G1 Ultra Magnus but just once i would like to see the missles attached the the arms. Ive seen pics where they do come off. Im pissed im still looking for Rodimus... cant wait to have him and UM

Hey, he had his own mould in the War Within! He was more than a Prime repaint...

Honestly, none of these really look that impressive. I like the G1 Magnus, but his arms don't look beefy enough.

the War Within Megatron alt mode looked WAY better in the comics. Surprised that Sunfire made it in before Skywarp.

Good to see the G1 Ultra Magnus really looks good and that is a definate want.

The Titaniums really seem hit and miss. There are a few that are really good and then some that are just really poorly done.

I won't be buying these. The only one I'll get is Rodimus Prime. Trust me, these are flimsy. The plastic joints are being stressed by heavy metal limbs. These are good for sitting on a shelf, not for playing with. I dropped GI Joe Megatron 1 foot and it shattered.

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed the other 6"ers revealed.

Soundblaster with Ravage

Skywarp

Grimlock

Primal Prime

Prowl

I'm pretty sure Skywarp and Grimlock are War Within and the Primal Prime is pretty obvious.

I wonder if Soundblaster would go as far as getting a new mould after all the complaints from the fans. Perhaps even a War Withing version?

Prowl is anybodys guess. Personally I would like to see another War Within figure as long as it doesn't look as poor as Megatron does in tank mode.

Ya I know, Megs looks about as hard to transform as G1 Broadside.

As for Magnus, bring him on. I will welcome him into my family with open arms. Even WW Magnus looks nice, but then again I do enjoy Magnus repaints.

Does anyone have any idea what the listings at the top of the first catalog scan are for? Soundblaster w/Ravage, Prowl, Primal Prime, Grimlock, and Skywarp are listed. Are these for the 3" figures, or are 6" versions on the horizon?

EDIT: Whoops, I was a bit slow on the post. Down_Shift's already noticed the same thing and posted it before me.
:oops:

:D :D I am so thrill and can't wait for the G1 UMagnus! Love the robot mode. It's the closest figure to the cartoon. It's probably even more accurate if the alt.mode has the launcher mount on the side of the trailer. And yeah, I too would like to see pic with the missile launcher mounted on the shoulder.

As for WWI Magnus, I though the previous color/pic looked better. This new version with blue thigh, abdominal, and feet makes him look like a knockoff. Despites the criticism, I'll still get him just because I'm a UMagnus lover.

Every Ultra Magnus repaint ever released has always looked like some cheap knockoff in my opinion. He's always just plain plain plain white, with some little blue highlights here and there.... YAWN.

The G1 Ultra Magnus they have there looks much better than I expected - finally, a REAL Ultra Magnus that isn't just another Prime mold that fell in a vat of white-out.

oh, and Megatron's tank mode is atrocious.

I'll get Megs, the Fallen, and G1 Magnus for sure. Cheetor and Starscream, maybe.

They all look good. I think Ultra Magnus G1 would look even better if they took the missile launchers and put them on his arms.

Megatron WWI is a bit of a simple transformation, but the legs do get scrunched up, the forearms flipped and flipped and stored, and a piece from the back looks to flip over the head.

I really hope that Skywarp, GRimlock, and Prowl are all 6 inch War Within Style...PLEASE!!!

Wow they're really cranking these out, some look good, others bad, all of them look simple to transform except maybe the g1 magnus.

I was really hoping the 6" titanium line would stay repaint free. For whatever reason I think thundercracker looks great but the repaints look really cheap. Primal wasn't that great, sad to hear they're doing another lame repaint, this time more worthless than the seeker repaints. Looking forward to prowl. Magnus looks to be the best of any of the titaniums. It seems like they're doing a lot of figures that usually had break away parts (rid Prime, magnus) and making them one figure. If they want a challenge then I suggest doing a g1 prime with trailer affixiated like Magnus and transforms as part of the robot mode.

A-frikkin-men.
The last decent Magnus we had was from Robots in Disguise, and even he was a little off. (Robot on top of a tower, anyone?)

At least Megatron can keep Soundwave company warming the shelves.

Megatron looks really good, but Ultra Magnus is a definite pass. With the exception of Rodimus Prime, all the Autobots in the Titanium series are really weak.

You mean like a power master Prime or just a new G1 prime

Oops, looks like you misquoted me there :P Reminator said something else, you might have deleted the wrong user tag by mistake.

It should be:

But I'm nitpicking now because my job is driving me batsh*t crazy.

I really wish this Titanium line would just die already. Two new toys every three months of characters who have already been DONE-TO-DEATH is no fun for me.

They all look great, despite some minor details. I am not complaining much because they are still great and the fact they're only 6" tall. Granted. Better things has been done that size. Now I ask: is this a second wave? I don't see WW Optimus or the other megatron tank.
