    I wouldn't be surprised at all if a 6-in. Ti Shockwave is released. He's a fan favorite, they have the name back, AND isn't he mentioned in several bios of the other Ti figures? I could be mis-remembering that, so feel free to shoot me down if I am. But I could have sworn that I saw him mentioned at least twice, and that seems to imply that he holds a place in that line.

    Boy, that would be really great. :) 

    EDIT: Then again, there have been plenty of times that store listings have endured even after a product has been canceled. Toynk has had a "BT-17 Wild Lazer" Binaltech listed for over a year as "coming soon." But that sure isn't happening!

    Can't speak for Cheetor, but Roddy and RiD Optimus are the two best figures in the line. Optimus in particular is an extremely solid, well articulated TF who is in no way hampered by the presence of die cast.

    It's legit

    When I went to work today ( I work at Walmart) I typed in a Titanium UPC (The Fallen) on a Telxon, hit tab and they have a listing of all the current Titaniums, all the Titaniums that were on the catalog listings plus all the new ones that are in the list on this thread. It's legit.

    Indeed. I just called two different Wal-marts and confirmed the listings. Not a joke.

    I have to say that I not only want a G1 Shockwave, but I'd kill for a Hearts of Steel version AND a WW version too.

    Wait, how is WW Shocky different from G1 Shocky? (But YES on HoS Shocky.)

    I believe Combaticons at least had cameos in some WW comics. there's some speculation WW Brawl will be a repaint of another Ti, like the Fallen. One possibility I considered was maybe a listing for MOVIE Brawl, and the "WW" was interpreted as War Within. Brawl seems a curious choice for Movie-relaterd Titaniums though.

    Sweet! Thanks for finding it. :thumb 

    Yep, definitely never seen that before. (Rassafrassa puttin' extra stuff in the TPBs when I already shelled out for the individual issues.) I'd certainly buy a toy of that.

    Hmm. This is good and bad news I guess. I've found the 6"Tits to be pretty lackluster so far. I can't see a deluxe classics design translating very well over to Titaniums. But if this is the only way we'll get him then so be it. It's a huge shame, but ah well. Bonus points to Hasbro for putting in the effort to please.

    yeah, iwas thinking cybtrn Bumblebee and WW Brawl might be pre-earth versions of both based on the prequal comic... (esp. since Don's had his hands in the ti designs and is doing the comic...)

    Its great that there are new listings, but other than teh intrawebs I would have thought the Titanium 6" line was dead.

    There has not been a single store in my area that has restocked any of them since December.

    Brawl was in the first War Within series. He participated in the assault on Iacon led by Shockwave.

    And it actually makes sense, if he's The Fallen repainted in the G1 Brawl colors. The head's very similar and so is the alt mode. I'll be getting all five of these.

    Thanks for the info Shawn, this is great news for alot of people.

    I am sure the Cosmos, Shockwave, and Arcee figures will be very popular indeed.
