    he turns into both teletran 1 and the bridge of the ship which inserts into the ship. It’s all in the photos so my answer is correct

    Yeah I'm not a massive fan of the bot mode. It's okay, but I'm getting this thing for the disks (I don't know why I care, but I want them), teletran-1, and the ship mode. I'll just take the bot mode as a bonus.

    Haven't had a chance to watch the video yet. What are you talking about? It looks like the side of the ship is still open

    All my agreed. Or a hatch that reveals a bridge where the little micro figures can play in at the very least.

    I was already down for this.

    Even more so now.

    This is also my first time seeing this channel. I dig their style.

    It looks great. The integration of Mainframe is clever. With a bit of imagination you can still play with the bridge section with the front of the Ark opened but its not a play set like we all hoped, the back ramp can have the core class go into it according Mark in the stream but even so missed opertunity.

    Glad lightpiping has gone into both of them, the both look great in all modes just wished they had a deluxe or something to stand next to the Telatraan console mode.

    I didn’t. I expected it to do exactly what it does. Spaceship and robot. Folding all out into a play set would have hindered the robot mode as a whole probably

    Epic. :bowdown: :rock :scalper 

    Love his quirky gangliness, colouration, Marvel roots & homages ...

    And I LOVE how the standout "unusual" figure of the year is something official for a change and not by a third party ....

    Really?
    The introduction of a new smaller class line of figures, as well as the announcement of the Ark as a Titan, while all the other Titans had base modes didn't make you think it would?

    I went back and read up on tons of Core Class threads, and almost every one made mention to how they will be able to interact with the upcoming Ark Titan.

    Not doubting that you didn't think so, but I do feel like it was a given at the time of announcement.

    Was super tempted by this boy.  If I was more into core class or the pure G1 3P pocket scale I definitely would have cracked.

    I like it. Good to finally see how Teletran merges with ark in ship mode.

    nope I expected him to turn into the ark and turn into a robot and that’s exactly what he does and he has playability with core class with ramps and storage. That’s all I expected and it was delivered

    My question was "is the teletran-1 the little robot or is it (only) parts of the ship that are pulled off and partsformed into teletran-1"

    Apologies if my question was not 100% clear, your snarkyness was uncalled for. Thankfully @Lex79 answered my question in a clearer way.

    It depends on what you mean by "interact". My thoughts were that the Ark could have a ramp for core class figures and maybe an interior when you could put one or two of them, I never expected it to become a full playset.

    Does anyone see this:
    hasbro-transformers-autobot-ark-01.jpg
    And immediately (for more than one reason) think:
    tenor.gif

    More specifically, does anyone feel that enough to sell me their Mainframe and disks? That's all I want from this, and just can't bring myself to drop $160 USD for them.
