San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) has updated their website with images of Titanium Series Transformers MENASOR (which is a repainted version of Rodimus Prime), Transformers Alternators RODIMUS (a repaint of Kiss Players Rodimus) and the War Within Grimlock statue bust.

Titanium Series Transformers MENASOR:

Experimental mechanics may have successfully unified the gestalt frame of MENASOR into a whole physical creature, but no level of shell programming or kernel restructuring has been able to modify his fractured mind. Constructed from the bodies of the five DECEPTICON® warriors who once combined to form him, he is nearly indestructible. He is the ultimate in state-of-the-art destructive capabilities, driven by an almost mindless rage at the psychic agony that constantly torments him.

The dominant personality within him is that of the former leader of the Stunticons, Motormaster. Hated by his teammates, he nevertheless exercised an iron-fisted control over the team - a control that slipped only once the five found themselves unified in MENASOR. Even now, hardwired into the command network of the new body, he withstands a constant mental assault from the suppressed personalities of his four underlings. As a result, MENASOR, who should be the ultimate weapon, is little more than a destructive monster, incapable of following a plan, and desirous of nothing more than to smash everything around him. Available as a HasbroToyShop Exclusive at this summer's 2007 Comic-Con!

That's pretty freakin sweet. If only we had a Titanium figure of this.


Hmmmmm

I think as more time goes by we will see a titanium war within grimlock as with a bunch of other war within characters.
Could titanium be the war within toyline ?

Not bad at all. Not a huge fan of the Magma sword, but it could have been alot worse.

They also updated the Hasbro portion to show Rodimus and Menasor in both modes.

Sweet!
And unless I'm mistaken, I believe Don has told us we're getting a Titanium WW Grimlock.

We've been told that a WWI Grimlock is in the works... I think it was even shown (by name only) in the little booklets with the newer ones.

BTW that statue is sweet!

Isn't it already? We have WWI Prime, a cheap WWI Magnus, three WWI Seekers with Skywarp on the way, WWI Prowl on the way, reports of a WWI Grimlock, WWI Megatron, the Fallen and a WWI Jetfire.
Personally, I think the Titanuim line, as a line geared more towards collectors than children, would be a great avenue for WWI characters, which for the most part only fans and collectors are really interested in. Plus, I think the chunky Titanium construction lends itself perfectly to the WWI character designs, none of which are too shapely. I'd love to see this line continue with WWI designs, but then what other characters get the Titanium treatment? The Autobot cars to me at least all kind of look alike, but a full compliment of Dynobots would be cool. WWI Coneheads maybe? Lots of people complain about the Seekers/'heads always getting done but they seem to be the people who always clamor for Tracks and Hound, who in the WWI like G1, were sideline guys at best.
How 'bouts WWI Ratbat? He was kinda neat looking....

I agree, I think this is a great medium for a WWI line. Plus, the other character choices haven't been that bad either (such as the REAL G1 Ultra Magnus).

Anyway, I've rarely seen any of these statues that they're coming out with since Palisades and Hard Hero stop doing them. It's a nice statue and it might actually be eaiser for me to find that the standard release ones!

I'd be hoping for a WWI Bumblebee...oh wait, hang on. I haven't read the comics so I don't know what he looks like. I just want him cux he's Bumblebee . Is he the same as he was in the G1 series pilot 'More Than Meets The Eye'?

PLEASE rename this crap it's Motormaster get it right not Menasor.OMG i swear does anyone know anything about transformers why would they name one crappy toy Menasor when Menasor was the name of when the Stunticons merged.the titanium series has just made me sick.

That's a bit of an extreme reaction, isn't it? You could still call it Motormaster in your head. Once you've bought it, it's your toy. You can call it what you want.

But we would all know....

How did this get changed from the WW Grimlock bust thread to the "Menasor" repaint pic thread?

They can't use the name Motormaster anymore as the name of a toy. Read the bio, Lord Grimlock - it tells you why Menasor is no longer a gestalt.

I don't care what people say, I like that Menasor. But, I do already have Rodimus...so...


It seems they're going all out on the WWI stuff for the Titanium line. Heck, it'll probably end up as 'Transformers: The War Within' line.

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if they should just drop the whole "Titanium" name and just come up with cool packaging for a WWI line!

Another super exclusive which will be really expensivr

finally... an exclusive i DONT want... im pissed enough about the hot rod alt

I updated the thread and post to reflect what this topic should really be about ... the SDCC Transformers exclusives.

I gotta' try to get my hands on all of those, and PIMP DADDY DESTRO!

That is absolutely amazing. They merged the 5 stunticons into one forming Menasor who can not only tranform into one alt mode, but also bears a striking resemblence to Rodimus Prime in looks and size. Amazing!

Rodimus w/new paint is Menasor? The name Menasor hasn't meant squat since G1 as everything after that has been completely retarded.

I like the looks of Menasor but just not the name.

So what can we call him now? Baby Nemesis Prime? Just reminds me of all the repaints Prime before. lol. Still like the colors
