Result!
6 inch Titaniums are the one group of Transformers figs that Mrs Shockprowl actually, I was gunna say likes, but no, tollerates! I think she appreciates their collectability, and she says I should get them instead of MP/Alts 'cos they're cheaper!

Don't get me wrong I liked the Magnus - Proof I just decided very quickly that the G1 version is sufficent for my Magnus needs for now. Though I'm quite tempted to drop £50 on a City commander Armour/Trailer set |

Yes yes yes I'm liking the look of the City Commander armour too! But it's freakin' expensive as you say. I thought an armoured Classics Ultra Magnus was rumoured at one point? Sure I read that somewhere.
So, Phil, there's a chance I can tickle you back into The Light as well is there?

Not yet, but I'm always looking for the opportunity to do a bit of universe-saving.
Toys'r'us UK is owned by a different company from the US chappies, and Titanium is not a line that does well for us- the only thing bigger than 4.99 we've ever had is the larger Star Wars ships at 15 quid a pop- they sat and sat till we put them down to half price. If Hasbro make Prowl and Grimlock available to British retailers, I suspect specialist shops like Forbidden Planet will be the only ones who get them in unless somebody at Woolworths chips in (Woolworths still stock the SW Titaniums, anyway).
More than happy to help you track a pair down on eBay or online stores though, Shockprowl. While I may not be a fan of them, my resolve to pair Hubbers up with the action figures they desire overrides all other concerns. This do I swear- you shall have your Prowl and Grimlock.

I was wondering if my Hub chumbs would assist me in keeping an eye out for Titanium Skywarp, Grimlock and most of all Prowl. Wana make sure I get these. My sanity depends on it! Not that I'm obsessed or anything. Any sightings on-line, let me know here. I'd be very gratefull! Thanks in advance!!!!!

Did I not say that you would have your Titania? Have faith, dear Shockprowl. I am on the case. Skywarp will not be available until after SDCC as far as I know, so there's no need to start looking for him before then. I assume the various TF news sites will report sightings of Prowl and Grimlock as soon as they happen, and you can rest assured that I or another enthusiastic Hubber will post here to let you know. -Nick |

Erm, no! If it had been done as part of the universe line I imagine it would be amazing but it looks to me like it suffers from the same old Titanium problems. Shame as it does look good.
But as long as it makes you happy. thats all that matters.

The Titanium Grimlock looks accurate to the War Within design. I'm not too certain about the Prowl design, but I can't remember his vehicle mode in TWW. |
