Finally able to complete the titanium line, at least all the molds that have been released, sans the recolors. The first few waves were flimsy, especially War Within (WW) Prime and G.i. joe Megatron , you could easily topple them with a breath. The later models became better and sturdier.
Just when the momentum and mastery was building, they decided to pull the plug on theses babies. The reason are cost of production and that it was not so sell-able. Most of me disagrees, no shelf-warmer titaniums here locally, but the occasional scourge. The public's been gobbling it up with no qualms. Too bad, that the local distributor has been skipping some waves, so some of the waves are not available on the mass market. You'd have to rely on the hobby shops.
What makes the titaniums special from the other transformer toys these days is well, is obviously, from it's name, titanium. Some parts of these toys are metal, i don't think it's exactly titanium though. Some old school toy collectors love the clank of die cast and the feel of the cold metal when transforming their toys.
Here is a reference to the complete line.
And some molds that were lined up but never saw light of day. These guys would have been awesome if they were released! Who knows. Rumor is some of these molds might make it for classics 2.0
