Official Images of Titanium Optimus Prime, Thrust, Hot Zone

under Titanium

TFW2005 has received official Hasbro photos of the upcoming Target exclusive Titanium Series figures. Optimus Prime is a repaint of the War Within Prime mold in a movie Prime-like deco, Thrust is a War Within Thundercracker repaint and Hot Zone should look familiar to Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime and G1 Hot Spot fans alike!

No real indication that they are restarting the line…. They're just doing a few repaints that we've known about for a few months already.

And, in any event, even if they did, it's not all that positive a sign that those other mold designs would be pulled out again. Hasbro's moved on….

Yeah, I don't see them restarting the line. Just using the redecos to help pay for the initial molds and possibly future molds for other lines.

To do any new molds for this line would almost be cost prohibitive at this point.

Except if they are restarting the line, whose to say they won't create these molds, especially if these repaints sell well. my guess it we'll get all the info on these at Botcon

Pretty much no reason to expect this. All three of the ones were ARE getting are repaints, and they never got around to even making molds (as I understand it) on those you mention here.

I saw Thrust and Hot Zone in package the other day at some store. Hot Zone looks really really good with the blue color.

Dont like Thrust…

ooooo I LOVE how dark Thrust is! I want him so bad. Shame we only get 5 out of the 7 characters as WW models.

Why are people going gaga over these? They are TERRIBLE. The paint is usually all over the place, the designs are compromised in some way (ie: the seeker jet mold has a huge hole in the rear where you can clearly see the bot mode head etc) and the metal parts are not tight and hang loosely, making even OP look lie a puppet without strings.

And they haven't even included the name stand this time around?\

They've seen you lot comin', so they have.

The only thing they need to do is just re-release these things in all plastic, with tighter joints, better paint-apps and a lower price under the "Universe" name. Problem sorted.

I'm not QUITE so hostile to Titaniums, but I, too, wonder what the appeal is (I've already said I'd get Hot Spot/Zone pretty much only because of the 3H exclusive reference, if I get it at all). VERY expensive for the size. TERRIBLE transformations. Generally just not worth the fuss.

I WILL be getting Thrust. It would be my first figure of the mould and I like the looks of it. :D 

And with all these pics of these guys getting put out, why haven't we heard a release date for them yet? DX I want to know if I need to save my money now or later on like July.

I'll get Thrust. Also add me to the "Glad it is some non-movie news" camp.

I'm hoping that this means we get those prototype Arcee, Cosmos, WW BB, ShockWave, and CJ, that they dicontinued before.

Love that Hot Zone! And since we aren't likely to get the actual RiD Prime in Hot Spot/Defensor deco, then the Titanium should do.

I love the Thrust, the dark red, and I like the huge Decepticon logo on him, bigger then the small one on Thundercracker, not that I don't love him too though.

I prefer that they do some repaints, This is the most close minded repaint ever, some repaints look 100 times better then the original, Cybertron Clocker looked horrible IMO, but the Swerve repaint was fantastic.

Repaints get us new items, they can repaint movie Bumblebee as much as they want if it later on gets me more G1 Robot Heroes, and Classics 3.0 repaints are a neccessary evil.

What is odd is that the Grimlock and Prowl that were the new molds which you would think would have revived the line they did not.

Hopefully these 3 will get us some new updated Titaniums that will address all the issues we have stated about there designs.
