1976 Microman Titan Series

Titan 2 T44X UFO Titan - T441 Icarus & T442 Achilles (c.1976)

Package

Titan 2 came package in the similar yellow and green box as last year Titan toys.  The box this time however feature not only Microman logo and Titan logo but also the Magnemo-8 logo.

Accessories

UFO Titan 2 accessories consisted of spaceship parts, rear spoiler wings with ball joint, rolling wheel and launcher unit..

Takara included stickers for both the race car and Titan 2 figure.

Takara released Titan 2 as the successor to the first Titan T40X in 1976.  Titan 2 series were split into two types - T43X or Racing Titan 2 and T44X or UFO Titan 2.  Unlike other Microman figures, Titan 2 designations were based on their accessories instead of the figure designs.  Both Titan 2 types had identical basic body design and only differ in their accessories - a race car or a spaceship.

T441 UFO Titan 2

Titan 2 figure design was a slight departure from the first series Titan (T40X).  Titan 2 still retained the robotic look but their body was more streamline and no longer had the machinery chest piece.  Titan 2 stood slightly taller than the first Titan but shared the same Magemo-8 size ball joint magnetic system.  Also the Titan 2 head was even more robotic looking than the first Titan.   Titan 2 face look somewhat like a duck which cause several fans to dub him Ducky Titan.

T442 UFO Titan 2

T44X Racing Titan 2 came with spaceship accessories that transformed Titan into a UFO.  Unlike the UFO Titan 2, the UFO Titans can be seated inside the vehicle.  The UFO also had launching mechanism underneath and can be used to launch Titan 2 figure (attach to the roller wheels).  Takara released two variants for T44X UFO Titan 2 - T441 Icarus, a white & blue figure with blue UFO parts and and T442 Achilles, a dark green & black figure with red UFO parts.
