    Which is exactly why my TTs and Classics have been integrated for the most part, where applicable of course.

    Ok, so....is this officially another lame April Fools Joke yet? If not, then let me just say:

    Classics Cosmos = :thumb 

    Titanium Cosmos = :stick: 

    But then again, it wouldnt be the first completely idiotic design decision Hasbro's made so c'est la vie, I guess.

    When and where was this confirmed?

    Edit: Crap. Found it. How stupid.

    How is it an "idiotic design decision" if they use the nearly-universally-loved Classics design, but put it in the Titanium line?

    Cause if its a nearly-universally-loved Classics design, evidently logic dictated that it be put into the Titaniums line? Makes a lot of friggin' sense to me :rolleyes2  Yeh, just what I want, a toy that could've made a fantastic Classic character made into a piece of diecast crap that wont hold a pose, or worse yet, a 3" poorly painted lump of metal.

    if youve been following the 6" tits, they may carry the same aesthetic, but the production value as produced by the micro machine/galoob division is a bit lacking, in fact distinctly inferior.

    "who are you calling inferior?!!"

    Well, logic probably dictated that they either put it into the Titanium line or not make it at all. Which would you prefer?

    Shawn has said this was under the 6" TS listings, so your 3" worries appear to be unfounded.

    And Wave 1 Megatron is the only 6" TS figure that has any signifcant trouble holding a pose.

    I have indeed been following them -- definitely a fan of 6" tits. :redface2:  With the exception of GIJoe Megs and Optimal Optimus, I don't share the opinion that they're inferior.

    Have you gotten any of the more recent 6" Titaniums? They are SO much better than GI Joe Megatron and WW Optimus it's not even funny. I shared the same opinon as you after I got the first wave, but after trying out the newer ones I softened on them a bit. While I'd much rather see Classics continue than the Titaniums, I'd be happy to see Cosmos released in any line.

    How recent? I got the 6" Soundwave and while its nice looking, having to squat to stand is a bit ridiculous. Jetfire is pretty but pretty much needs the back of my shelving unit to be stable. I'm waiting to get 6" Rodimus, Fire Convoy, and BM Cheetor right now so I cant judge them yet. Looking at the design images that were shown at botcon, however, I'm afraid that Cosmos would be a hard-to-pose piece of crap too.

    I hope this is true. I would love a Shockwave.

    Me too. Shockwave is very close to the top of my 'want' list, along with Galvartron, Cyclonus, and the dinobots.

    Soundwave is the only one I still don't like. Rodimus and RiD Prime are completely solid. I like the Fallen too, but it does have some floppy joints. Thundercracker is great too.

    WWI Brawl is probably going to be a repaint of The Fallen. I don't see much that really needs to be changed on the mold unlike WWI Megatron.

    I really want to see how they do G1 Shockwave. My guess is that they will give him the same treatment as Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus and make it one piece with the whole front piece splitting to form the arms. As long as we get a G1 Shockwave I don't really care to much.

    Wouldn't "Shockwave" have to be listed as "Shockblast"?

    ^ Not anymore. Hasbro's got the TM back. There was a Shockwave in the Cybertron Mini-Con 2-packs.

    A REAL true to life G1 Arcee toy? I'll believe it when I see it!
    Anyway, more G1 movie characters keep coming from Titanium, and it keeps me hopeful we'll get a G1 Galvatron too.
    Cosmos will be a nice addition too!

    WW Brawl? Did WW ever have Brawl in it?
