Man, I cannot stress how shocked I am about the new Titanium figures that seems to have been popping out of nowhere at the Comic-Con or whatnot!
Erm... anyway. I've calmed down a bit, so. here's what we'll get:
http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=album&a ... 00&start=0
6' figures:
G1 Scourge, transforms just like the 86 toy, only a bit updated in style - wish Takara would have made Thunderblast like this one. Really cool, especially the vehicle mode.
My only gripe is the head - he seems to have a 'low brow' if you look at it. Oh and he has no weapon... odd.Optimal Optimus - I don't really know the original, so there... I guess it will have all the transformations, and it looks nice, but I don't like the original either so I'll leave it out of my collection.
RID Prime (
) Well that was unexpected... Guess we'll get RID too in Titanium. He's quite good, and since I'll never spend so much money on the original, I'll buy it propably.G1 TWW Starscream... before you get your hopes up, he's a repaint of TC. Of course, was predictable, but would have been nice if they made them different - after all, Titanium TC looks exactly as in TWW, and in there all three seekers had different transformations. Oh well, at least we have Cybertron Screamer.
Now... drumrolls....
G1 Soundwave! And yes, he's a casette player! I have mixed feelings about him - he looks OK in robot mode, but his, erm, crotch is a bit too large... and in tapedeck mode, he's too plain - no fine details at all... Maybe it's because of the darker blue shade. But, he has both of his guns (look like batteries still) and Laserbeak, who hasn't changed much. I'm uncertain if he has another casette behind Laserbeak, or that's his chest already? Anyway, looks really cool.-And the big suprise, and my fav so far: G1 Rodimus Prime! Yes, him... and we all know how much the old toy sucked. Well, no more - he has a completely different transformation, his trailer is part of the body now!
The robot mode is really bulky and strong looking - I bet Don designed it. He even has his gun and the flame deco looks even better then before! 
really a must-have.3' figures - I'm not really sold on these, but anyway, here we have some more:
-Alt. Sunstreaker (repaint of Sideswipe, duh)
-G1 Prime (looks quite good)
-Energon SCorponok - here I was hoping he'd be the G1 one. Pity.
-G1 Grimlock - looks OK, just like the cartoon version - but why no sword?
-G1 Galvatron, cartoon style. I might get this one---
-G1 Cliffjumper - BB repaint. Lame, Hasbro...
-G1 Predaking! Now this I need... looks really good, and has a sword too.
-G1 Thundercraker - you guessed, SS repaint. Oddly his head is blue....
-G1 Soundwave - really good looking, even though he has no casettes with him. I wish the 6' figure had such colors!
So, I'm really looking forward to the autumn - ever since Hasbro took over, we old G1 fans are getting what we wanted. No more animeformers and Poketrons!
My only question is, how will Titanium and Classics coexist? If we got Soundwave here, does this mean no Classic SW? Maybe not, since we'll get a classics Jetfire for sure... Anyway, good job, Hasbro!
