Nah He'd have to cost more than that. He's absolutely massive.
He reminds me a bit of the Robo Machines base.

Countdown was the largest toy after that - perhaps they could just give his Rocket Base a robot mode. If it wasn't for the fact that Countdown came with Omega Supreme and Warden said that Sky Lynx's base mode is supposed to homage Countdown's rocket (why? Omega's is visually closer) I'd have said you've cracked it there. As the Micromaster bases have now become deluxe robots, there's no reason why it should stop at that size class. Leader class Skyhopper/Groundshaker would be nice. |

I have decided there is one character and one character only who deserves a titan class toy, and every year we go without it is nothing more than a slap in the face to the fandom-
...Underbase Starscream

Good idea.
The big Cybertron Starscream toy always made me think of Underbase Starscream.

But then Bogatan would have to repaint something that size as Action Master Thundercracker. This could kill him.

Why Shockprowl, one might almost think you were afraid of Bogatan's chess abilities.

Well, he's playing A LOT of pawn moves in the opening. So he's either not read his Yasser, or, like, he's some kinda freakin' genius or something.

Certainly a jump the shark moment in Transformers history.

Next one'll be either Fort Max or Metroplex repainted orange to be Autobot City for the 35th anniversary of The Movie.

An Autobot City for the Movie 35th anniversary is not outwith the realms of possibility.

There's been repeated noises about doing Metroplex again, closer to the 1986 toy/cartoon than T30 was. I don't see a more likely option at the moment.

I would be up for that as I missed out on the T30 Metroplex.
The real question is when does Black Zarak happen, because that is a no-brainer!

I just still wish it was going to be Unicron. That was the Titan I was looking forward to.

It's possible it still will be.
The current team have no problem doing the same thing over and over again in short succession.

I just still wish it was going to be Unicron. That was the Titan I was looking forward to. Me to Hufferlover. Just a decent 'ordinary' Titan, not the over priced gargantuan thing they're putting out. If it is an 'ordinary' Titan, won't the folks who have bought the expensive one be a bit pissed off...? |

I doubt it, there’s still the limited edition kudos, I guess.

I can see Black Zarak being the TT Mall exclusive recolour, same as Grand Max.
For next years Titan, Metroplex is where I’m placing my bets.

I love Metroplex and I love the T30 version, but I'd be happy to see another attempt given how good Scorp looks. My only other real desire is something that would never happen, an Ark that transforms into a Mount St Hillary playset. No robot mode, just a ship that folds out into a base. Short of any other options though I'd buy another Metro.

It was a dick move of Hasbro to make one of the most important characters/peices only available to the rich. Looking at how good Scorponok is, a Titan Unicron would have sufficed. Not that titans are cheap, but more people could have bought it and they would have made just as much money (if nit more) and it would be a little fairer to all. |

It's ok. Maybe Andu can run tours round his Unicron. 10p a shot. I could run the concessions stand.

You could buy four titans for the cost of Unicron. And like I've said before, the size disparity between transformer and entire planet is so ridiculously and comically vast, that a few inches between titan and whatever this 20lbs monstrosity is won't matter. I think Haslab would have been better focused on either an Ark playset, or funding an entire wave of new molds they don't want to sell at retail, like a BW anniversary line. |

A sail barge sized Ark would have been absolutely wonderful. Fold out into a full Autobase with control room and Ratchet's repair bay, Dinobot cupboard. Oh god if I ever find a million quid down the back of the sofa I'll get that made.

Exactly. And the Sail Barge in Star Wars is fine as it's not like it's one of the main things in the fiction. If it were the only way to get an acurate Death Star or Star Destroyer toy the that would be comparible to our Unicron situation.

In my lust for toys with vehicles and playsets I've been looking at the SW Vintage Collection stuff that came out 8-10 years back recently. There's tons of ships and vehicles! So much stuff.

If certain rumors are true, then a Titan Grand Mal isn't beyond the realm of possibility.
