No, but there's a couple of Optimus' that you can go for.
The records the DJ is playing requests from are a little bit smaller than the average single.

Could this relate to the story 'The Bad Guys Ball'? It had a party in it and Jazz was in that and also featured in an Annual story with Prowl a few years before.

No, but it does relate to one of the best Iron Man stories.

So we're talking 'Demon in a Bottle'. TFUK had the 'Demons' under Cybertron. Tailgate battle them. Tailgate is white and so is Prowl. The story also featured Sewatch the crime fighting boat. Tony Stark fights crime.
So the answer is Tailgate or Seawatch.

No we are not talking Demon in a Bottle, which isn't much good anyway. The Denny O'Neill alcoholism story from c160-200 is much better. And it isn't that story either. Or the one where Fraction reboots his memory!

So the other obvious candidate then is 'Doomquest'. That involves time travel to the period of King Arthur. He has a sword. Who has a sword? Star Saber! People like him every year so that is an annual event.
STAR SABER.

As well as the two Primes you can vote for a Prowl this week too.

The answer is Shockwave because he was in 'Armour Wars' WHICH WAS REALLY GOOD, PHIL.

How big would the records be if they're shorter than singles? Gremlins in What Sort Of Armour?

A quick google for Gremlin and Iron Man should lead you towards the answer and as to why we're doing this subject this weekend.

It's time for the annual party Each year we do a special Top 5 for Ian's Birthday. Three years ago it was Week 32: ProwlThen two years Week 84: Ratchetand now Week 136: InfernoThe observant reader may have spotted the other birthday top 5 we did recently..... Which makes you think Iron Man. But we don't want no Gremlins getting in the armor do we? The Gremlin wore the Titanium man armour. So what sort of music shall we play, man? another hint at metal Think slightly heavier. We also did Jazz a while back. Metal is heavier music than Jazz. Though Titanium is a light metal Our annual party also ISN'T a Christmas Party. No, it's Ian's Birthday Maybe looking at who's come to this party the last few years will help you out..... The three toys we've done so far for Ian's Birthday have been an emergency vehicle trilogy I'm pretty certain no Headmasters involved. No HMs in the Titanium line sadly No, but there's a couple of Optimus' that you can go for. There are some Optimus in the Titanium line The records the DJ is playing requests from are a little bit smaller than the average single. Singles are 7inches. Titaniums are 6. No, but it does relate to one of the best Iron Man stories. Armour Wars, as Burns eventually guessed. As well as the two Primes you can vote for a Prowl this week too. See Ian posts passim on the anguish Titanium War Within Prowl caused. How big would the records be if they're shorter than singles? Less than 7inches so 6 would be a good guess Gremlins in What Sort Of Armour? Titanium, see above Well done Jim, who tells me he got it from the initial clue! Which bit gave it away? The reason it's 6inch Titaniums is because Ian has been pestering for that favourite line of his for AGES

Week 188: 6 Inch Titaniums 5) RiD Optimus PrimeDecent design. Not enough RiD Optimus. Where's my CW version? 4) Optimus PrimalBEAST WARS! 3) GrimlockUnique War Within design. 2) ProwlDitto, but nicer. 1) Ultra MagnusA rare full armour Magnus in an age of white Optimus repaints. Knees/Thighs needed swapping IIRC. The only one I liked enough to buy (Prowl was an expensive import) and I wish I'd kept it.

I only ever got: 1. Ultra Magnus - nice to see this Magnus design realised as a toy, but not without its flaws and I sold mine on a long time ago. I always liked the look of Rodimus Prime, WW Prime and RID Prime, but was put off by so many bad reviews of the line in general so never made a big effort to seek them out. -Jim

I'll skip ahead from wherever Im actually up to.... man I had forgoten just how bad some of these look.
Bubbling under- RID Prime/Hotspot - appears to be nothing more than an upscaled spychanger but by titanium standards thats probably complimentary.
5. the strike jets - I think Ive only ever handled a junker Thundercracker but they seem like a pretty good stab at the cybertronian designs.
4. Optimal Optimus -Never owned so it might be pants, but looks in pictures really really good.
3. Nappyman - So so close to being quite good. From memory it has the least traditional titanium problems, but then they gave him a giant robot nappy.
Im torn here, top spot has to be a tie. 1. Rodimus - its flawed because its a titanium, but its only very slightly flawed. On the whole it works really well. Probably the best Ho Rod/imus toy since 86 depressingly.
1. Ultra Magnus - its flawed because its a titanium, but the basic design is top notch, the concept would have worked very well as part of mutliple Spychanger/legends/whatever lines in the last decade or so.
