Recommend me a Matrix barer.

He's like upgraded Classics Rodimus, only better.

Not quite. Titanium figures aren't exactly known for their quality

I was going to say DotM Ultimate Optimus and a version of the MP-1 mould - both of those are in Trev's picture.

+1. Titanium Rodimus Prime is a craphouse toy... really. He already has MP Rodimus -- that's good enough.

I decided not to get Ultimate Prime at the time it was released because ROTF Buster Prime was so close to film accurate and Ultimate Prime felt like a massive step backwards. I have a MP-04 in storage, I guess I could get him out now I have shelving tall enough for him. Altho as I said in Gok's discussion on MP pricing I actually like MP-10 over MP-01, I'm a bit odd.

Some Titaniums are quite nice.

I think they did a really good job on Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime, and ESPECIALLY War Within Optimus. I have the Pallisades WW Op statue, and the Titanium outdoes it lookswise. That's pretty astounding.

Some were bad, and downright awful, like Soundwave and the GIJOE Megatron.

The rest are somewhere in between. I do wish the line had gone on longer, as there were some great figures planned, but am glad they managed to at least get WW Grimlock and WW Prowl out.

War within Optimus was the only one I ever had and I wasn't that impressed. Each time I transformed it I could feel the metal wearing

It looked great. Just couldn't really touch it.

EDIT: Wait… I always assumed when people were talking about Titanium Ultra Magnus they were referring to the white war within Prime. There is an actual Ultra Magnus?!

I may have to track one down despite my dislike for titanium figures.

I'm not at all impressed by War Within Optimus Prime. I find the engineering to be just downright underwhelming, and the paint apps amateur. Rodimus Prime is also a toy I'm not fond of either... that massive cavity in the middle of the body really hurts the robot form, and that itty bitty spoiler fin on mine swings down really easily during toy play. The chest also untabs pretty easily during play too. I do appreciate the challenge in trying to have a Rodimus Prime toy that transforms into a robot by integrating the trailer into the robot mode rather than just detaching it... but the execution is just rather lacklustre. Admittedly they did a much better job with Ultra Magnus. I probably would've bought that toy had it been released in stores locally; but it doesn't impress me enough to import one.

Yeah... much like Rodimus Prime, Titanium G1 Ultra Magnus actually incorporates both the trailer and cab into the same robot mode without separating them, which is a pretty neat concept. But it's better done on Ultra Magnus. I'd recommend checking out someone else's Ti G1 UM IRL first before deciding on whether or not you wanna go through the effort/expense of importing one. I've seen this toy several times IRL and it hasn't inspired me to do so. :/ Here's dirge's review.

Good point with Ultimate Optimus - I just thought if you wanted a massive Optimus and weren't too fussed with screen-accuracy, it would be a good bet.

Have you seen this thread? Maybe you could get one of these.

I have enough cash to buy him but just can't justify spending that much on one Transformer.

Yep, an actual G1 UM that's not just a repaint.

It's pretty neat, incorporating everything into one transformation. Quite well done, IMO.
