    So we all agree the Ark is a Tidal Wave pretool, right?

    The attention of detail they put into the Scorpion mode is pretty impressive. I wished they went a little further by adding pincers/claws on the chelicerae ( mouth parts ) but regardless it looks cool.

    That’s what I’m thinking.

    Feeling a little let down by Scorponok. Thought for sure he\'d be one of the easiest designs to get right. He just seems a little derpy... like his chest is way too box shaped, he barely has a waist, the legs seem too short and the head seems too large. Kind of interesting to see the Scorpion mode in a more realistic way... but also feel those fangs should have been black.Still plan on getting him since that\'ll be my only figure representing the character, but hoping some day we\'ll get a better representation of him! (Fingers crossed he eventually gets an MP toy)

    Pretty happy with the Ark considering he\'s not Omega Supreme! Love the Last Autobot Head sculpt and the design for the robot mode overall looks pretty great! It\'s just a bit of a pitty that there\'s these big hollow areas in Ark mode where his legs come out of... could have gone without the wear paint apps as well. In a strange way, think Teletraan-1 is sort of the unsung hero here! Think it\'s kinda cool we get an actual transforming version of him now. The best thing about him though is that this must mean there\'s a REALLY good chance that he\'s a Mainframe \"pre-paint\"! :D  Really excited for when that eventually shows up!

    this might actually be my first titan figure...

    the mainframe homage with teletran-1 and ark himself looking a bit like the last autobot is really selling me on this

    Ok after actually reading the page instead of looking at the pretty pictures, it says nothing about it being Mainframe, just Teletraan-1. So yeah, I can totally see a straight repaint Mainframe selects coming down the line. Because it is totally Mainframe in a different color.

    Same turrets, similar face and shoulder style.

    Would require a lot of retooling to be "perfect" but I think one of those "Close Enough(?)" releases.

    Wasn't expecting the Ark! Looks dope, but I would have preferred something that could open up like an old Diaclone base. Features where you could literally open up and see the interiors of the ship and display mini figures on the bridge, etc. I know, I know, this is Hasbro we're talking about. Alas...I can dream....or 3D print it!

    Galvatron? No-brainer! Sold! Can't wait to see more!

    I think I need to point out that there’s a panel on the Ark’s leg, maybe you could put core figures there?

    Ah good, an official Galvatron reveal. We can at least get a better idea of how the figure is supposed to be, and is (hopefully) not mistransformed.

    I think I need to point out there’s a straight up photo of that panel in a photo with a tiny prime in front of it showing what that panel is

    Hey if Black Zarak can appear out of the blue (even though that was a repaint with a new head) anything's possible.

    He looks like he forms part of the ship, yes. And may possibly be a pseudo-weaponizer.
