I spent hours setting this guy up extending his ladder to other shelves then filling it with bots charging into battle. The Mini-con pegs on him and Magnus actualy look better than the ones on his Armada counterpart.
This is, again, another great job! However if you ever have time to revisit him, it would be cool to show all the differnt was the armor can be attatched to the basic bot, ie, the larger feet attatching to his shoulders to reveal all those mortar shells.
On that same note though, I always thought it was strange that, if you could add on to yourself, you would do it standing on such a heavy payload
I passed on the Spychanger version because I tought it was to cheap of a copy of such a cool figure.
This Titanium though seems very much to be picking up all the slack that tiny version left in the smaller counterpart area though! The design is dead on, the articulation looks great. I know like all Titaniums he's going to have atleast one part that wont close right or some thing like that, but I'm loving this six inch line, and can't wait to add him to the collection!

The original was perfect.

I have the Hasbro version. It has been known to shout at me from the other end of the room... VERY spooky. Less spooky is the time he was in a box on the way home from uni, and something was leaning on his button. A 2 hour car journy with brime barking orders out at me.... It was not very fun...
Anyway, Im not feeling the love for the Titainium version. The alt mode isnt very good, the front end looks almost like a Micromaster, and the back end looks messy. And although the robot mode isnt bad, it's the super mode, which quite frankly isnt as good as the small robot mode is. (I know there was never any risk of them doing one with the smaller robot mode.)

I don't have the original, but I agree with the statement. The Titanium figure looks nice, and seems to have nice articulation, but I doubt I would get it, because it's just a midsized version with less features. I'll put it in the same boat as Optimal Optimus.
I think Titanium should be about giving new figures to guys who never had one, or updating them while still retaining the original design, not about giving good figures mid-sized representations.

I prefer my RiD version; it just looks much better in both modes than this. Nice try though, they're really putting some effort into this line.

I have the Hasbro RID version. and I truly think he is a masterpiece. Fully poseable. Wide variety of Armor Configurations. And the Ability to combine with Ultra-Magnus make it the best figure in my collection.
Although he looks good in Titanium form, i can't help but like his Normal Mode more over his Powered Up mode. Don't know why.
In any case its a great gallery.

The spychanger version was the same way. I'm willing to bet the separate RID Prime and Ultra Magnus figures aren't able to combine. The spychangers weren't either.

Wouldn't mind seeing a comparison pic of him with G1 Inferno in both modes.
