Titanium Series to Return - 6 Inch Series Exclusive to Target

Triple pass.

The RID Prime mold works good for hot spot(zone). I may get him.

0 articulation huh? lol i only have rodimus prime, but he is pretty possible to me lol. head turns, waste turns, arms bend, legs bend, feet move, how much more possiblity do you need from a figure that is supposed to not be all that complicated anyways?

actually to tell you the truth, i like the titaniums, i missed out on most of them though. and just because a transformer has a simplistic transformation does not mean it's a bad toy.

i mean i would say rodimus prime has just as complicated transformation as the starwars crossovers, and they are about the same price.

besides that, hotzone will fit nicely with classics,

Dammit! This just made me remember how much I wanted the oatfuck version
I guess I can get this Hot Spot.... He's just as good right? NOT!

I'm up for Thrust. Maybe Hot Spot. Pass on WW OP 2.0; should have done Primal Prime instead.

YES!!! and... NO!!!

Yes, because this is just awesome.

No, because I JUST finished my Titaniums set.

This bodes well. Maybe a resurrection of Alternators too? Maybe? Eh?

I'm down for both Hottie and Thrustus. I would have gone 3 for 3 if they had done Bluestreak.

Nice!

Titanium's are back! At least for a few more repaints. I'll still pick them up.

Titaniums are back (again.) I tried to enjoy this line but it never grew on me and I sold all my titaniums. So these will be a pass for me.

Bah, I'll have to pass too. The "Hotzone" - jeez, what a bad name - is pretty nice, but I still dislike the concept of direct repaints marketed as whole new characters...not worth wasting money on.

Btw, where's the Primal Prime repaint?

I see a lot of people calling these "bad toys." They're not really toys. They're more like transformable statues.

Yay!

I liked Titaniums for the most part (at least, if we forget the first wave existed).

The RiD Prime mold is good, and I've always wanted the OTFCC Defensor (always request it on the Botcon survey), so this'll do for now.

And the Tit TWW seeker mold is also a good mold, so Thrust will go nicely with Starscream, Thundercracker, Sunstorm and Skywarp.

Count me out for TWW Prime though.

Am I the only one NOT surprised by these? Hasbro said (somewhere, I can't remember-- SDCC? Website Q&A?) they'd be bringing back Titaniums in an exclusive form this year. This lines up with that. I'm more surprised they seem to be making new decoes instead of using Primal Prime and Soundblaster-- who was partly a new mold-- but hey, I like these three molds better than those two, so I can't complain.

Thrust-- YAY! More seekers, and using my fav Titanium mold to boot! I never get tired of this mold.

Hot Zone-- Another one of my fav Titanium molds, and using that awesome RiD Prime idea, to boot. Another giant SOLD.

Prime v. 2.0-- Not quite as excited about this one as the others, due to the whole "same character repaint" thing, but he's different enough from the original for me to purchase again. Is he a Powered Convoy homage?

EDIT: Hey, waitaminute... these don't come with display stands! Well, that sucks....

More War Within Seekers = SOLD!

Hopefully the addition of Thrust means Dirge & Ramjet repaints are also on tap.

WW Optimus Prime: No. Already got the original version.

Hot Zone: If I see him, yes.

Thrust: Really wish he had a cone head. If he did I would definitely get him.

Hotzone... HotSpot. Awesome more response vehicles and 1 more apparatus to join the fleet of RID Fire Ladder Trucks. RID Optimus Prime leader class, 2 red spychangers, 1 yellow spychanger, I named "BOOSTER" and the Prime titanium.

And I really like the alt mode stripe and FD logo, alot better than the original.

I was a completist with this line before it went under the first time, but finances have gotten tighter and the Titanium line isn't good enough to justify dumping so much cash into. I'll definitely get Thrust to bolster my Titanium Seekers, and Dirge and Ramjet if they're made, but definite pass on the WW Prime repaint and Hot Zone.

Because its G1 Arcee and i have wanted a figure f er since 1987 and she looks a million times better then ANY version of her that they made. Animated is the only decent version of her. And titanium Cosmos is way better then the legends, Thats why lol

Wow, Thrust looks surprisingly good. I'm sold on that one.

will be getting the thrust but now if they only use the hotspot deco on the rid prime mold

They did as a Botcon exclusive back in the 3H days, but it got cancelled. If you have a few $1000 to spare you can probably pick up one of the protos on e-bay,

Meh. it woulda been nice to have gotten at the time, but it wasn't that great. Things have advanced allot design wise since then. These never got beyond the mock up stage so they don't really have enough invested into them to follow through and release them as titaniums when the line doesn't do that great.

They'd be better off starting from scratch in the classics line, which has much better sculpts. I think allot of the titanium stuff has a kind of gummy not crisp sculptwork compared to classics. IIRC a different team had been working on the titanium stuff, they were some people from playmates and the tit line was there first stab at TF's.

If these had been released i woulda been all over them, but it aint gonna happen. Classics is the way to go

I might look into Hotzone, but I like my original WW Prime and I'm pretty sick of that seeker design being used.

So if Hasbro is willing to resurrect a "badly done" dead toy line for a quick buck. Do you think there's any chance of us seeing a re-birth of Alternators, including alternity Prime and Megs.

All the people that bought and enjoy RH Thrust disagree with your assessment

WWI Optimus Prime is a homage to Movie Optimus Prime.

And yeah, maybe they'll be cheaper since they have no stands. Maybe $12.00 instead of $15.

Looking at him, that definitely makes sense, and makes me want to get him even more.

Eh, I think they'll be the same price, if not a dollar more. Though it would be nice if they were cheaper. I just don't see the loss of the stands making much, if any, impact on the price. In the end I just hope I'm able to get at least Hot Spot and Thrust.

On a side note, I wander if there are going to be any more. Wouldn't surprise me if there was at least one more. Hopefully a repaint of the WW Megatron. It isn't perfect, but it would be nice to get a Megatron to go along with the Prime.

The Redeco of WWI Optimus looks nice -but I already have the mold.

There is not one Titanium figure I bought that did not have a defect out of the box or develop an issue after I got it.

This will be an easy pass.

I still have yet to see Titanium Grimlock in my country

je sais...but it never saw production...that is why i would like a release of it

They need to rerelease G1 Magnus. Make him the only toy in the wave and ship tons of them. No more shortages...

I love the fact of Hot Spot and Thrust, but WTF Prime repaint and not the unreleased but ready-to-produce Soundblaster w/ Ravage????

Cool to get Hot Spot/Zone as a Titanium, though I really wish they'd make another wave of G1 Ultra Magnus...

EDIT: and this post was written without reading the thread, making the Double post with IG a bit funnier.

I really dig the Hot Spot.

In before Gogd... er.. I mean Aaron!

will probably get them for completions sake

Well it looks like the Botcon Exclusive concept is coming back to live in a different form...... Arise Hot Shot/Zone!

I'm terrible at wording stuff. XD I actually own the RH Thrust, and I enjoy it as much as the rest of my RH figures. But I want a transforming Thrust as well. I noticed we've gotten or are getting at least some kind of transforming figure for the other seekers:

Starscream with Movie, Animated, and Universe.
Thundercracker with Movie and Animated.
Skywarp with Animated and from what we've seen with the TF2 Movie.
Ramjet with Classics and from what we've seen with the TF2 Movie, and a possibility for Animated.
Dirge with Animated.
Sunstorm with Classics and Animated.
Acid Storm with Universe.

Now there's still another blue seeker that went with the rainmakers, but he doesn't even have a name so I'm not holding Hasbro to doing one for him. But at least give us a newer transforming figure of Thrust.

I'll get Hot Spot, and probably get Thrust. Prime is a pass.

Now, I want them to repaint Ultra Magnus in Powered Convoy colors!

We've actually had two transforming versions of Thrust lately (ignoring the Botcon exclusive), though one wasn't named as such.

One was a repaint of the Voyager-class Cybertron Starscream toy in a 2-pack with an unchanged Vector Prime as a TRU exclusive, when Cybertron was still rather new to stores. They still called him Starscream, but the colors were spot-on Thrust.

The Legends of Cybertron Starscream mold was also repainted in an almost identical paint scheme and released in the "Aerial Rivals" Legends 5-pack as a Target exclusive late last year.

Umm...when did we ever get a Classics Sunstorm?

They didn't call the TRU exclusive Thrust though. But the Legends Thrust is something I forgot entirely as I don't take much interest in Legends repaints. thanks for reminding me, but that pretty much takes apart my 'No Thrust-Love From Hasbro' theory, doesn't it?

I looked it up and it was actually in Universe that we got a Sunstorm.

I knew about that one (remember thinking about getting it when it was still in stores). We also got a Legends Sunstorm in the Cybertron line, and a 6" Titanium version of him.

Though it would be cool to see a new Universe Sunstorm at some point. Maybe when it comes back after the hiatus, though I'm not sure the Classics Starscream mold could survive another use. New F-22 Seeker mold anyone? (or if not, a repaint of Energon Starscream could do the trick, imo).

Where are the 3-inchers damn it...

Aargh. Oh well.

So I can only imagine all the screaming and yelling there is gonna be when these come out for at least $19.99. Even with the removal of the stands the inflation of the day will definitely push these heavy toys past what we paid for WW grimlock and prowl.

I would love the primal prime but I think the Optimal Optimus wave was the worst selling wave so they might not reuse him. I have no interest in soundblaster the mold is just horrible in any color. What I really want is a rerelease of Ultra Magnus or maybe a repaint in diaclone so we can all at least get the mold

Good Lord, at least kick out some of the molds that everyone wants to see. Not loose arms Prime, Plastictanium Hot Spot and 400th Reuse of Mold Thrust.

...its a new name for the G1 Protectobot Hot Spot.
