    The Ark will look great with the G1 Core class figures released so far! Let's get a bunch more of them made in the upcoming lines!

    Ark looks good though his head looks weird. Galvatron looks great. Scropnok looks cool.

    • Scorponok: Maybe. He looks good in some photos and proportionally odd in others. Need to think about him.

    • Galvatron: Maybe. He looks better here, but once again, there’s parts of his design that I like (very cartoon-accurate, nice shade of purple) and parts that I don’t (painted and translucent plastic gun barrel, the way his arms fold up in gun mode). I may just wait for the next Galvatron that Hasbro does.

    • Ark: That looks beautiful. Great Last Autobot and Mainframe homages, great spaceship mode. This is how you get me to buy a Titan.

    That would be cool. Omega didn't, so it's not a guarantee. I don't expect it but it would be nice.

    Damn. This is by far the most inclusive and possibly the best collection ever offered by Transformers. F***ing Bravo!!!

    I'm in for the ark. I have no where to put it, but it will be bought!
    Scorponok seems to be okay, and the same for Galvatron.

    Is everybody really missing the fact that the Ark turns into Teletraan-1?

    i have Omega Supreme and he’s among my favorite Titans. But without a 3rd play mode for the ark I might skip it. So far it’s not speaking to me.

    Did you mean: “Titans Return Trypticon”?

    Actually, it probably won't. Legion or WST, maybe.

    I was under the impression that Mainframe turns into Teletraan-1 and could attach somewhere inside the Ark in computer mode.
    If the Ark looks like the Last Autobot in robot mode, what should the Nemesis’s robot mode look like?

    Hmmm this is a little concerning in terms of Poseability.

    Neck, Head and Partial Shoulder section seem to be one solid piece. I'm starting to think the whole top piece there is a separate piece that attaches like Scorponok and fort Max's heads.

    I\'m hoping that Teletraan integrates onto the bottom of the Ark.  That way I can display Teletraan 1 and the Ark in ship mode, and not have a huge hole showing on the ship.

    I'd pretty much stopped collecting CHUG at the end of Earthrise, but had been holding out for The Ark, expecting it to be an incredible addition worth picking up, but seeing these reveals, I'm really sad to sad, I kinda hate it. It feels like the design started with a really basic legends class design, something vaguely similar to Generations Cosmos, and then they upscaled everything, added some molded details and a few panels and this is what we ended up with. I honestly think my only enthusiasm for it would be seeing what third party add-on kits will be available to upgrade it. Whelp, if nothing else, I have Black Zarak to console me later on.

    No, the argument is the Ark is the pretool. And Tidal Wave will come next with additional bells and whistles. Potentially to make up for the lack of a Teletraan/Mainframe figure.

    Kinda like how TR Sky Shadow was an Overlord pretool and didn't have the removable jet nose.

    Or how CW Magnus wasn't a Headmaster but TR PMOP was.

    Because a 3P Ark of that size would cost way more than $160.

    Galvatron's alt mode always seemed like pure nonsense to me, and this doesn't change my opinion.

    Scorponok looks great. Surprised by how chunky he is, but he has always been one of the more stubby Predacons in the show.

    The Ark is gorgeous. Legitimately one of the coolest-looking robot modes I've seen when it comes to pure aesthetics. I'm a sucker for those Iron Giant proportions.
