    I thought for sure I would pass on these. Grimlock is an easy pass but Prowl looks awesome!!!

    I hate Toys Rn't Us, I hope they put them on the website like they did with Jetstorm & Wingblade. I never saw Jetstorm or Wingblade in the store, too many scalper/employees.

    Yes!

    I love seeing Don's designs in plastic.
    Let's hope that the toy designers don't screw it up like they did with Soundwave, Megatron, and um... most of the other Titaniums.

    Grimlock will definetly be mine when he comes out. Hopefully he isn't too hard to find. Prowl on the other hand, while he's a good design, he's not buyable, imo.

    I'm in for Prowl. Love both modes.

    Grimlock, however, is one of the most overrated TF's ever created, IMO. His "badass" attitude is just plain fictional (everyone whips his ass). That figure looks like a brick.

    Both are tremendous. Too bad I will probably never see these in the store.

    It's really a shame. I want both of these pretty badly and I will probably pay a markup on BBTS if they get them in. If Target gets an exclusive, then cool, I will find it, when Wal-Mart gets an exclusive, I can pretty much forget about it. With TRU, it's 50/50, and with WW Grimlock, I don't want to take a chance.

    I collect Grimlocks so he's as good as bought!

    Prowl I could pass on but wouldn't have a problem getting if this indeed a two pack

    Eh, if they were made of plastic (and thus designed around being made of plastic, not metal) I'd be all over these.

    There's no doubt I'll be getting both Grimlock and Prowl. Although, I'll probably have to buy them off toysrus.com since my local TRU store is too far away to check on a regular basis. And, yes, Prowl is very mistransformed. I mean, how difficult is it to transform these guys properly? It can't be that hard. Just hire me. I'll do it. :D

    I'm still on the fence about these... which is funny considering I have always been the biggest cheerleader for the War Within Titaniums. I'm glad Grimlock & Prowl are finally getting released, but something about buying 2 more figures in a line that we know is completely dead takes a lot of the excitement out of it.

    The only sure bet for me right now is WW Skywarp since it'll finally complete the core Seeker trio... and Sunstorm.

    They confirmed that NONE of the other prototypes we saw will be released, but that they are trying/going to eventually work the Cosmos mold into Classics Universe. I won't be surprised if they do the same with the Arcee mold too since it's so spot-on G1 accurate.

    Titanium G1 Shockwave would have been cool for THAT line, but I hope he gets a better mold if they eventually bring him into Classics Universe.

    Prowl is meh, but I would buy Grimlock to go with WW Megatron and WW Prime. Who am I kidding though, will never see these on shelves and won't spend 50 bucks on ebay for them just because I don't have connections at TRU.

    Even Grimlock has some typical Tit. suck in his bot mode imo - see the huge crotch and tiny arms

    Still, might grab em
