I think the Ark will either be a non-transforming Titan, or it will have a Last Autobot robot mode (which has been rumored). I would prefer an Animated Omega robot mode, but that won't happen for 20 more years.

I can probably draw some distinction between AN Ark and THE Ark - I always viewed THE Ark as an Autobot shuttle that got the 'the' designation because of its historical significance rather than it being substantially different than the shuttles.
But I'm a big enough person to admit that 5 seconds on TFWiki proves me entirely and irrevocably wrong on that.

I think I have more standing on this one! Japanese mecha share a lot of cues across Gundam, Zoids, what have you - and Diaclone Reboot certainly shares many of those foundational elements, if not the specific stylizations that make Gundam, Gundam.
Let's split the difference on this one?

As the resident Gundam nerd, you're both wrong. Diaclone takes more cues from the 60s and 70s super robot tradition than it ever has from Gundam.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:megatronus wrote:D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Ari, I cannot disagree enough with the gundam look of Battle Convoy.

I'll split this one with ya. It has a distinct Japanese mecha feel to it, just not quite what the Gundam use

A-HA! See, I was right the first time!

To do movie Dinobots right they'd all have to be Leader Class and even that's debatably too small. For as little as they used the Dinobots in the movies I'm ok with what we got. Don't get me wrong though, would gladly welcome Voyagers for Slug and Strafe.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Emerje wrote:Personally I want a Leader Scorn since he's supposed to be slightly taller than Grimlock if I remember right.

This is the biggest disappointment for me. We got SS Grimlock, and TLK Scorn basically counts. So why haven't we gotten a nice voyager Slug and Strafe yet? It's a little disappointing that we might get the 86 dinobots in this line, in it's 4th year, before we complete the AOE Dinobot roster
