    THANK YOU HASBRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh man, heck yes, oh heck yes, so many words I cannot think of to say this right now, or at least stay clean for innocent eyes.


    I'm just so orgasmicly happy over this.

    Prowl animated, prowl classics, prowl WWI, on top of the action master I still have from a kid, and the reissue. Generations of Prowl to go with Prime. Now even grimlock, Energon, Classics, Animated, now WWI. Perfection!

    Just waiting on that animated Prowl repaint now. ^^;; Either that or spin some transtech animated rehashes with new heads into universe after that animated wave leaves shelves and classics wave leaves shelves, or store exclusive... I could live with that, Animated Prowl body, tweaked classics head, white and black classic colors, call him transtech prowl and you got a trifecta! >.> er then again, they already have the trifecta with Animated, Classics and now WWI version. Okay either way I'm already in heaven, but hey, want to tip that over to pure nirvana heaven, it's only one paint scheme away.

    But wow, just wow. Only a few more WWI's (Ironhide, ratchet, bumblebee, kup) to go, and then please please please start hearts of steel. =D

    SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
    *ahem* sorry.

    *edit* yes I know titanium is more or less dead, but if these sell extremely well, who knows, not to mention they could always slip aforementioned characters from WWI or Hearts of steel into Universe. Thankfully the engineering on Tit picked up with each release, so while I don't expect these to be perfect, they were really starting to get it down well after a few rocky releases. But hey, I'd love to start an Arcee shelf next. ;) 
    Energon, Movie, Movie scout, Classics, Animated, Alt with targetmaster driver that splits into two guns(okay I'm dreaming here)... But hey, we got Prowl WWI and Grimlock WWI, anything can happen! Well, BB and wheeljack WWI/MTMTE cybby modes would work too, but we needs more femmebots!(We really do!) Prowl needs a girlfriend!(that's a joke, please don't take me serious anyone that works on animated or classics bios, please don't xD) ^^;;

    While I was hoping these would be retooled (read: balljoints, no diecast) for a different toy-line, I'm glad they are being released at all.

    YESSSSS!!! I love the War Within Designs, so I can't wait for these. It also gives me hopes that we'll see the other 4 prototype TF toys from that convention appear at some point. :D 

    And wow, that is horribly mistransformed...

    So, question. The Titaniums I own are the first Megs, WW Prime, Jetfire, Soundwave and Thundercracker, and TC is the only semi-decent mold out of the bunch. (I mean, Megs falls apart just looking at him and Soundwave's legs won't even stand under his weight, they just collapse, I can't even just STAND him there in a straight pose, that's sad.)

    Did the joint and connection issues improve with the later figures in the line? Would have liked to have had Ultra Magnus, The Fallen, Rodimus, WW Megs, and Grimlock here, but not if they are like the earlier figures.

    With Grimlock, Prowl, and SKywarp, I'll be able to get a decent WW display shelf set up: Prime, Jetfire, Grimlock, and Prowl vs Megatron and the four Seekers. Nice! Now I need to get Jetfire and Sunstorm, I missed out on them originally...

    Skywarp will be a SDCC exclusive. Fortunately, last year's SDCC exclusive, Menasor (Titanium Rodimus repaint), is still widely available on eBay for under $20.

    They'll probably make way less of Skywarp accordingly

    Probably getting Grimlock, he's awesome in that form even if the figure isn't perfect. And most likely getting a couple of Prowls to make myself yet another Smokescreen...

    I'll probably pick them up if I can find them (flippin' UK drought!)

    I like the WWI Prime and G1 Ultra Magnus, both have been solid for me - no real issues at all, so hopefully these two will be of similar quality.

    That Prowl is seriously mistransformed though - don't Hasbro WANT to sell any of their toys?

    I don't collect titaniums but I think they look great, especially Grimmy.

    Grimlock will probably be impossible to find.
