    Scorponok is perfect to me. Now I just need to see Waspinator and Terrorsaur.

    The transformation seems spot on to how Tidal Wave converts from his combined battleship mode.

    Even the head matches elements of TW.

    Mark my words, Scorponok has a thicker than expected body because he\'s getting remolded into Tarantula

    Is there a decent go-by as to how big the Ark will be in both modes? I saw someone liken his robot mode size to the most recent Omega Supreme. I need to start work on my Mount St. Hilary diorama!

    Yes, okay and nope.

    Scorponok looks great. I'll definitely buy that.

    Galvatron - gotta wait to see the final in hand product and make sure pics we've seen weren't mistransformed because this looks like the torso sides are supposed to latch onto the shoulder spires. That wasn't happening on the in-hand leaks.

    Most everyone gushing on the Ark but, to me, there's really not much to it other than it's big. The hollowed out sides where you see his legs in robot mode is fugly. Our hopes that the core class can at least somehow interact with it are dashed. It's basically just an out-of-scale display piece and not much more to me. If they had at least ditched the transformation, we might have at least got a decent playset for Core Class or Legends figures.

    I said last year Titan Ark is a bad idea. This does not convince me otherwise. I'd be better off taking the $159 and spending it on one of those third party Ark interior sets.

    Maybe some day they'll release Mainframe in his colors separately. I'd be interested in that.

    I suppose the Ark here doesn't preclude a proper Haslab Ark in the future. I think I'll wait for that.

    Hanna Halley, on Twitter, did a pretty good digibash of what Tidal Wave could look like from this mold. I’d definitely buy it. CC537BFC-AF14-4767-91C3-5AD20B0656E0.jpeg

    That feels a little like saying "Galvatron's got tank treads and a helmet with pointy things on it, so he's obviously a Bludgeon pre-tool."

    I just remembered IGN revealed the Wave 1 Kingdom figures last year too right before Hasbro's Fan Fest. Hasbro ended up not revealing anything major, just a couple of those Galactic Odyssey sets. Now I am not really excited for Pulsecon.

    Ok Hasbro, now give me that Mainframe Selects that you and I and everybody knows you have there. Give it to me and no one will get hurt :poke

    My biggest dissapointment with the ark is how the core class figures are too big for the ark, i think the only function core prime does is just in the cockpit

    Galvatron looks great, but i was expecting him to be a voyager class.

    Tidal Wave would work as a means to extend the ROI on the mold while also delivering on the leak that 2022 would include Armada/UT references.

    So they blew up a basic figure to titan size, how lame.
