    Possibly. Would rather see Tidal Wave get the Titan treatment than that version of Metroplex though. The bot mode was horrible looking and the less said about its butt-coming-at-ya drill mode the better. Ha!

    Obviously, you must buy this one to be your "Master Mold" to your army of "Sentinel" mini-Metroplexes, then.

    I really don't understand how Hasbro can be willing to make this piece of shit questionably alt-formed character at the Titan price point, yet is unwilling to commit any dedicated moulds to any non-G1/non-BW characters at lower price points.

    Maybe. The ark has been 160 for a while, whereas it used to be 170

    Anyway, I'm conflicted. On one hand, I'd love that discount. On the other hand, I want this to sell. Lol

    We'll see though.

    Methinks I'll wait for clearer images and details, looks promising though.

    &$@# you, Archon, for giving me an actual reason to buy this goddamned thing! ARRRGGGHHHH!!!

    (I'm pretty sure I'll still pass... I passed on the Ark. I MIGHT get a Nemesis/Trypticon. I'd probably get a better Metroplex. I'd DEFINITELY get Tidal Wave.)

    EDIT: I'd kinda like to see Hasbro try doing a bigass Metroplex as a Haslab exclusive. I'd love to see what they could do at the original's scale, but with, say, twice the parts count. Bulk it out, put more bells and whistles in it. I'd probably get that faster than an actual Titan Class redux, because the same kinds of issues the original had are likely to reoccur, just in different ways, as long as it has the same limited budget.

    Who knows, though? Scorponok was pretty damn good right out the package.

    *looks over at the pile of things that people said will NEVER happen*

    *glances at the percentage of them that actually happened*

    I have doubt to your claim.

    "If they're not going to buy a titan then they're not ready to be catered to." I guarantee someone at Hasbro said that.

    I mean generations as a line is all about nostalgia, but the idea that Hasbro would make small fixes to molds from 2001 instead of straight updates makes no sense.

    Even with only G1 Titans, there'd still be much, much more to go.

    What a terrible choice for a Titan.  The original was shit.  Can\'t polish that turd anymore.

    Meanwhile the guy who had a Titan class tidal wave drawn up was heavily snoring in the back of the room during the pitch meeting.
