I've always been a fan of Tidal Wave. Just a really cool design. But I never owned him until yesterday when I got his sweet Energon lightning deco. Thus, I was inspired and made this last night.
"Some things you can't fight. You see Optimus coming, you have to get out of the way. But when you're Tidal Wave, you can fight the Optimus! And you can win!"
That looks great, man! I can't help but be reminded of the PS2 Armada game, the level where you fight through Tidal Wave's ship mode before facing his robot form.
That bit in the game was just awesome. REALLY well done and imposing, one of the few times scale has been presented to such great effect in Transformers.
I had always found funny when people forget just how big he's supposed to be. Like, his arms alone would make him stand twice as tall as Omega Supreme.
I always loved the Energon deco on this guy, the backstory of him just saying "fuck it" and replacing entire body parts with solidified Energon sold it.
