Tidal wave won’t fit too well on my desk so you’re getting bathroom. Blitzing’s hand-guns actually make decent battleship cannons. A quick and dirty sprayjob later and they work real well.

Articulation’s pretty good but figures this size really need a neck to look up/down. Disappointed by the lack of conveniently-placed ports overall. Transformation's decent, nothing special but functional and intuitive. Haven’t tried base mode yet but it looks like a fan mode. Don’t care about the elevator. That gimmick always functioned like crap for me and made me think trash compactor. Didn’t buy Armada Megs so dunno about the supermode parts. Minicon would be cool but eh, I can do without. Hips seem okay so far but I opened them up and greased the internal mechanism to be safe. Decent titan but not exceptional overall.

That said, he can’t assume a push-up pose. 0/10

May go back and do some more detail work but honestly, Hasbro did all the important bits already.

Nice! I was on the fence about getting Tidal Wave but ultimately, I decided to cancel my preorder. He looks good and all, but he's a character that I'm just not that invested in (especially at the Titan pricepoint). I've got the original, and I am still good with that. I'm glad that this version exists though, because I feel like the design team put a lot into it.

I don’t feel ripped off but he feels solidly pretty adequate and that’s about it. Not home runs like Scorponok or Omega but not as wonky as Nemesis.

Base mode won’t fit on the counter so you’re getting floor this time.

Base mode is pretty alright. Looks like a bunker of sorts designed to more guns more often. Has decently well-sefined areas as well. The real problem is that there’s zero base things to do. No compartments, no action features, not even enough space to stand on. Probably because…

He’s pretty small as titans go. Not just height but in mass. I don’t particularly mind but I’d sought him out to be Omega’s counterpart what with the splitting apart thing and he’s noticeably shrimpier.

Oh well, I’m sure DNA’s working on some thighs or shoes to make him taller as we speak. (Joke: I’m not buying those stupid things)

Dang, I was just about to ask.

That's always disappointing for a base. That's part of why I still had to get a G1 Fort Max after getting the TR one.

In this case, the vehicles are supposed to have that kind of functionality, too, aren't they?

Good pics of that base mode! It looks cool but yeah, without any functionality / play features, it does feel a little shoehorned.

Also, I do agree that Omega and Scorponok were high marks of the modern Titan era. I passed on Nemesis (and Cybertron Metroplex. I guess it has been a minute since I really wanted a Titan!). As mentioned elsewhere though, I do like her ship mode a lot. However, not enough to pay for a robot that I'll never transform her into. I learned that lesson with The Ark and am not interested in repeating it.

I wonder if someone would ever make a knockoff that's basically just the spacecraft mode.
