At BotCon, Hasbro displayed Primal Prime (Optimal Optimus repaint) and Soundblaster (G1 Soundwave repaint) and said those would still be coming out, and we also saw a test shot (?) of War Within Prowl. Also, Menasor (G1 Rodimus Prime repaint) is going to be available as a San Diego Comic-Con/Hasbro Toy Shop exclusive this week. However, the G1/War Within Shockwave, G1 Arcee, War Within/Classics Cosmos and War Within Bumblebee resin prototypes displayed during the Hasbro tour at BotCon will most likely never go into production.
Now, it seems Target will carry the remaining six-inchers as endcap exclusives, similar to the Universe Ultras last year.

And:Just an FYI to all board members, Target is doing their fall reset for Toys THE WEEK OF AUGUST 5TH. Ultimate Bumblebee will be featured on an endcap beginning that week as well.
So I was browsing at the new planogram for boys action and saw something interesting. An item on the planogram has a DPCI of 087-06-0413 and the description in the line listing was "Transformers G1". Checked the DPCI and it isn't Jazz, could be Starscream. But get this, the picture on the product image (a mockup of how the aisle will look fully stocked) page shows a 6-inch titanium box!
Could Titaniums make a brief comeback to Target shelves in early August? I will report back tomorrow morning after I do some more investigating at work tonight.
EDIT: A quick search of the forums yielded this post by Nevermore http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpo...65&postcount=1. The DPCI matches the old on for the 6-inch Titanium figures. Keep in mind, DPCIs are recycled, but chances are good this DPCI is for 6-inch Titaniums

The description is "Transformers 6" G1". Price is $15.99, right in line with what titaniums would go for, and the shelf space alotted for them is 8 inches wide, just about the right size for the base of a 6 inch titanium box. I think it's safe to say Titaniums are retuning to Target shelves in 2 weeks.
