    I keep going back and forth on the Ark. Not sure if I need it in the collection or not. But, I can’t shake the feeling that it keeps reminding me of something...oh yeah.

    Cheese memes assemble!

    Damn they really did my favorite BW bot dirty. Rhinox is a step down from the T30 in almost every way. I was looking forward to replacing my junker 2014 figure with a better one but now I want to try and find a way to salvage the guy somehow.

    Pterosaur Fossilizer dude is the most badass one yet. Might army build him.

    I do love cheese.

    I don't think ANY Seige figs shelf warmed. In fact, the only ones I ever see are the ones ppl grab 1st (not everyone gets multiples). Usually when I'm in Target or WalMart, the Seige pegs are damn near empty.

    I think that just wishful thinking of haterism. If not, maybe that's just were they live.

    I've preordered the ark rodimus and galvatron. I probably preorder the fossilizer and bw scorponok but I'm passing on rhinox and tracks. I recently got the mp tracks so he is good enough for me.

    I don't think the ark is perfect but hey it's the ark. Long overdue. We do need a set of those tiny tiny autobots to go with it though in addition to optimus. I'd also imagine with some creative photographing the core class of figs might look okay with it at least have prime standing outside but done in a way that it looks okay

    I guess Wheeljack is the repack of this wave.  I like the colors of Rhinox.  They should make an Exclusive (a NECA/Hasbro exclusive) where you see Jim Carey is popping out of his behind.  LOL

    WE can have better and why would I be ashamed to say it? I'm perfectly calm by the way but I guess you wish rational points were less rational to help lessen repressed guilt from your purchasing habits. See how easy it is to assume the negative? And pointless.

    If you will simply buy anything because you have imagination, I don't have to imagine the fact you will end up with less and less to show for it. I'm never one to say you can't do as you choose and if you read my wording that's clear. But actions have consequences. If you would like to use your imagination, instead of Rodimus I am happy to sell you a piece of red driftwood for $80. You can just imagine it converts, has flames, and there is a piece coming off that kind of looks like the shape of the spoiler so you're all set. Hell I'll even draw 6 silver wheels on it (you won't have to worry about 7th and 8th wheels sticking out needlessly on my version).

    Why would we want less as consumers? Recognize that the selling relationship takes not only the seller, but they buyer as well. It is a two way street and that's perfectly fair.

    We are not powerless, but they have and will test your limits. Asking for or even expecting silver or gray rims on an $80 toy is absolutely not unreasonable in the least. Do you think the show model will have all black rims? Of course not, it looks terrible. In this age of collecting and collecting power, it's time for Hasbro to officially learn how to consistently deliver premium product to it's dedicated fans.

    The only Siege figure that I saw shelf warmed was Leader Shockwave... but then TRU did a 50% off sale on leaders and I never saw it again.

    You are right!
    The ark in its robotic form does not have the aesthetic established in the trilogy. It looks like a Ben 10 character, plus it doesn't come close to matching the playability of the other 2 titans in the trilogy. At first it seemed like the core classes were set up to interact with the Ark but in the end they weren't at all, making their existence pointless.
    I still think a wfc version of Metroplex would have been a much better candidate for the last titan.

    For me, the most interesting things about this set are Mainframe and the golden discs.

    I see what they were going for with the bot mode, but could have just left the Ark as a playset with the Teletraan/Mainframe component as the piece to account for the transformation aspect of the toy.

    I agree it sucks its not tailored to the core class as first thought, they say they can store inside via the ramp etc but cant interact with bridge etc which is a shame.

    But it is what it is and im still getting it even if it stays in shuttle mode all the time.

    Agree with you. I'll take the set but only for Mainframe and the gold discs. Initially, I would have preferred Mainframe to have its original colours but after some time of reflection, I find that, objectively, its new colours work quite well!

    If this is the direction they're going in, I'm going to save money in the near future.

    Why are there 2 different shades of Rhinox?

    (Shades of Rhinox sounds like a good name for a band....)

    Is this a heavy remold/ retool of the T30 mold?

    So Takara Rhinox is tan like the cartoon, and Hasbro version is grey like a real Rhino. I'll just get the grey to avoid the extra cost and hassle of getting Takara's version.
