for the Ark, i'd be happy with just the Teletraan-1 console (similar to the 3rd party version) or a close recreation of the exterior merged with the volcano/mountain. the image the most pops into my head when i think of the G1 Ark is this:

 

I thought they were releasing Teletraan piece by piece with the NETFLIX figures?

 

they are but 1) they didn't announce it beforehand and i missed out on all of the first wave (thanks, local distribution and Walmart exclusives!) and 2) they are just pieces of cardboard that you fit together.

that is to say, i hope somebody eventually scans all the pieces in hi-rez so people like me can put together their own version.

 

a cardboard diorama yea

Yes they did announce it beforehand, that was one of their selling points during toyfair when the netflix wave was announced and also how people figured out there would have to be a wave 2

 

I could see that being very likely. Actually, I'd be surprised if people haven't already started doing that.

 

I'd settle for just the ass end sticking out a mountain, even better if it's flat enough to not eat an entire shelf.

 

I forgot about those. Yeah, that's probably Hasbro's current answer to y'all's Ark toy.

 

So wait, is there no TF presence at SDCC this year at all?

 

There's a virtual SDCC, but will there be any Hasbro/TF reveals? I haven't seen any info so far.

 

You act like the pictures you're presenting are the ONLY options. I'd be fine with a big scout compatible playset that simply opened up with a couple rooms and a Teletraan-1 display. It doesn't need to be massive for that. Or a new robot mode would be cool too.

At the end of the day, I really don't care what the Titan is. If it's the Ark, awesome. I'll spend money. If it's another Metroplex, awesome. People who missed the first one can get it and personally I'll save money by skipping it.

 

That this news does not disrupt me what I am waiting for next Thursday.

 

I think hoping for a G1 accurate Ark playset in the beast Wars update line is a little bit wistful. Why would they chose Kingdom of all the Generations lines to do that in?

 

Because the Ark was in Beast Wars.

 

Yeah, but if they were to do a starship playset in this line, wouldn't it make more sense to do the Axalon?

 

It would if Kingdom was only Beast Wars, but it's also G1.

 

Is it though? I haven’t seen any news of a Hasbro panel.

 

I hope that's true because I'm dying for details of what's to come for both later this year and even next year.

 

Im just spitballing ideas, nothing more. And they would choose Kingdom because the Ark is a major part of both Beast Wars and G1.....both of which are heavily represented in the line.

 

Kidding? CW and especially UW Devastator is a great figure. They are very accurate to the G1 one. I frankly see no need for another.

Well with that logic all the characters should be Titan Master (head) size.

 

So in Siege and Earthrise had new characters in the Battle Masters, so I'm wondering if that means there will be new characters in the Core Class, seeing as that's replacing Battle Masters and Micromasters.
