New Images of Titanium War Within Megatron, G1 Ultra Magnus, and Sunstorm

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.

hah wat transformation there is for ww meg...looks like he just got knocked over

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 like war within Megatron robot mobe, it is impressive.

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.

randomly rearange weapons.

But wow, dosnt G1 Magnus looooook goooooood!

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.

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.

Deffinately gonna get ole' Spots

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.

G1 Ultra Magnus will be mine!

I just got Soundwave and Rodimus and they didnt come with these checklists. And is there more to the pic because it says Soundblaster, Prowl, And Grimlock but there not shown.

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

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.

DANG! Ultra Magus looks AWESOME!!! My favorite Titanium yet!!

G1 UM - He really does look great it's about time he got back his trailer.

WW Megs - Shame that the alt-mode turned out to be a dissapointment. At least the robot still looks great.

as for the ones just announced. I can't wait to see them especially Ravage, Grimlock and Prowl. It also appears they'll be finishing off the seekers with Skywarp, which doesn't really come as too much as a surprise...

So here we have 2 new molds out of 5!

Sadly, that seems to be an improvement when compaired to the usual repaint flood.

I want Megatron and The Fallen, Starscream is a maybe for the sake of a Seeker set. The others, if I find them on clearance...

Looks like you transform Megatron by pushing him over! With a bit of work they could remold him into Metroplex.

I like these all. Megatron is debatable. His transformation is just way to easy. The WWI Ultra Magnus ticks me off, but I'll get him nonetheless. G1 Ultra Magnus on the other hand, is the most frickin' awesome Titanium to grace the line w/his very presence!! Sunstorm is pretty good, just a Thundercracker re-paint, & the same shall go for Skywarp. I'm just happy that the 3 primary Seekers are getting made, plus Sunstorm. I would have never guessed Primal Prime. He wasn't even a real character in any series other than the New Wreckers. I don't personally like him, but you had to know they wouldn't let the Optimal Optimus mold go to waste. I would just hope that the Coneheads get their own mold. Once you start the Seekers, it's like you hafta produce all or nothing. Definiely getting all of these (despite Megatron's tank mode & ridiculously easy transformation)

At bloody flaming last, a UM that is not a bloody Prime white wash!

Looks bloody great, will be getting him.

Powersurge wrote:At bloody flaming last, a UM that is not a bloody Prime white wash!

Here here!

Quoted for truth.

I was skeptical about the G1 Ultra Magnus when I saw his bot mode at Botcon, but the vehicle mode is icing on the cake, and the more I look at him, the more I'm diggin' him.

Put him in the "buy" category.

gi magnus will be mine!!! ..dont know much about the fallen i think im one of the few transfans that have never read the war within books. are they any good?

Wow. ANOTHER Sunstorm.

Could this character get any more undeserving attention?

And I really hope Grimlock isn't the WWI version, let's face it, as far as Titanium tanks go, they suck.

Wow, I like G1 Magnus! I have an original Magnus, no fists, but I never really liked him that much, even as a kid. Maybe it was due to the lack of fists, but maybe also cause the really big brickness and lack of really attaching to the trailer. I love PM Prime though, hmm. Anyway, it's nice to finally have a figure that looks like his animated self. Magnus is on my list, along with Scourge and Rodimus. Not too fond of Roddy's alt. mode, you can see too much of his robot mode, but the bot mode seems solid.

No, I believe with pm prime you still had to take the trailer off then combine it. If you notice with all the titaniums in this line that have trailers (rid prime, magnus, rodimus) they're all part of the figure. Like the legs make up rodimus's trailer. It seems like they're redoing a lot of figures that originally had trailers that came apart and added to the figure in some way, and making the trailers part of the robot with no removing of parts involved. So I present them a challenge, make a prime with the trailer that can't come apart from the cab and actually makes up part of the robot mode. It's a huge challenge because it's probably impossible, but they seem to like redoing all these trailer formers :p

I'm glad they made a G1 Ultra Magnus Titanium. It's fun to see that he transforms with removing or adding any pieces.

Is it just me, or does WWI Megatron remind you of those early Go-Bots with the horrid alt modes, like Fi-Tor, Tank, or Cy-Kill?

Those look really sweet
G1 Ultra Magnus has finally been done a proper service not just a white Prime, Yes Hasbro I'm looking at you. as for the others i plan to get all the titaniums so these will go on preorder at BBTS asap.I am stoked that we will be getting a few more molds though
Prowl
Soundblaster with Ravage
Grimlock
Primal prime

yeah the first wave of titaniums was a bit dodgy but they have vastly improved now, just look at RiD Prime and Rodimus Prime, 2 of the best and as Starscream and sunstorm are recolours of the ThunderCracker mold then he was a great figure as well

Whoops! Sorry about that.
Let's not fight. (kidding)
I agree with you on all points about Titanium. The only things from the line that I'd actually buy are the G1 Scourge and maybe G1 Ultra Magnus, and that's IF they impress me in person.
The whole line comes off like one of those weird collectable lines from the early nineties that nobody liked. Sort of like Franklin Mint Transformer figurines.
Plus, I don't think that they're not really made from titanium.

Ahem... I do NOT think that they ARE made from titanium.
That was supposed to be a joke but I f#&ked it up.

Down_Shift You beat me to it as well, hopefully the Grimlock is not WWI hopefully we get a big shiny silver T-REX that is G1 faithful instead of the ZOID looking Classics version or a WWI version that has a bad transformation I m sure it will not look as good as the one guys custom I have seen.

I hope the Prowl is G1 as well, maybe they can some how make his shoulder cannons be intergrated into his shoulders somehow, not trying to be a complainer but with all the movie toys it would be nice to get more G1ness out of at least one of the lines, also the Soundblaster is a very neat Idea is this the first time Soundblaster/Soundwave repaint has been released officially stateside at retail?

I know we have heard talk about this for the Cybertron version LOC and that E-Hobby did the repaint, and the new Soundwave is indeed Soundblasters mold but is the opposite of this scenario.

Also, on a 3 inch Titanium query have they canceled Galvatron? I thought he was supposed to release with Thundercracker and Rodimus, is there going to be a new line he is with instead?

Also Megatron_Wolf the Titanium line is bad at updating their chechlist inserts, every 3 inch I have bought still has the wave one lists/picture strip in it.

Unfortunatly, I'm 99% sure Grimlock is War Within. Of all the Dynobots I disliked Grimlocks Alt mode the most. It seemed weak for such a strong character.

Burn wrote:Wow. ANOTHER Sunstorm. Could this character get any more undeserving attention?

I thought Sunstorm was an awsome character. A fresh take on a new character with a dash of G1 mystery churned into it. Mind you I don't think it should have the War Within mould. Even War Within Magnus shouldn't have a War Within mould. I personally love Ultra Magnus repaints, but I don't think even a nice Magnus re-paint could save that awful mould. Unless they fix the shoulders and hands, it won't be worth it to me. Megatrons transform looks like you just pivot his waste on a 45 degree angle, fold the arms behind the shoulders, twist and tuck the legs and feat and place the sheild and cannon on his chest and viola, his poor tank mode. It's a huge let down considering how awsome the first War Within series was.

Megatron_Wolf wrote:is there more to the pic because it says Soundblaster, Prowl, And Grimlock but there not shown.

The picture that your seeing is the second half of the checklist. the first half has Rodimus RID Prime and Co. If I were to fancy a guess I'd say we'll see that checklist in Fallens and Cheetors boxes.

I really like the Titanium line and will continue to buy all of them.

A character that had what, a 4 issue story arc and practically an incarnation in every line since.

Sorry, but while the character had it's merits, trotting him out as a cheap seeker repaint in nearly every line since is just overkill.

Burn wrote:Sorry, but while the character had it's merits, trotting him out as a cheap seeker repaint in nearly every line since is just overkill.

Not going to argue that. He hardly needs a WW repaint. But then again, if they didn't Kitbashers would.

Would love to see the seeker drones using the seeker mold. Megatron needs his army.

Soundwave is my first Titanium and I'm very happy with him. He kind of reminds me of my first Soundwave, the Actionmaster who I loved.

I'd like to see Actionmaster characters like Soundwave with their Actionmaster partners. Laserbeak's been done to death. Give Soundwave his Targetmaster.

Imagine Treadshot (based on 44 Magnum gun robo) with Catgut as a 6" Titanium.

Actually the only Titanium 6" I think is hidious is Scourge. A repainted Energon Sharkticon in G1 Scourge colours would be much cooler.

Dying to get Rodimus, the Fallen, Fire Convoy and any Seekers including Sunstorm in the 6" line.

Am I the only one who liked WW Grimlock's tank mode?

Though normally I'd say the size class is too alrge for cars, am curious about my favourite Autobot, Prowl in his WW incarnation. Might even us him as one of my favourite Actionmasters Kick-off.

I know that PM Primes Trailer came off. Thats why i said "like PM Prime". I wanted to know which you think hasbro would do. A new G1 Prime or a PM Prime. PM Prime would be easier for Hsbro to do i think. And it would mank more sence Because the concept is already there.

Hasbros line of thinking for the 6" line is to take big Characters from previous shows and comics and give them a overhaul. I would think they would do Power Master Prime. They've already done a re-issue, in my eyes, that's a good reason for them to use the figure as a Titanium. Not that just because he was re-issued means it WILL get it but because it was so well received by fans and they could give it a fresh new challenge for the fans.

Why does Sunstorm have a Cybertronian mode? Wasn't he always just a seeker jet? He had no WWI appearance, right?

Its just another re-paint by hasbro. Hasbro just wants more money. The'll use evrey seeker they can to milk that mold for as much as they can.
