Weakest of the three WFC Titans, but still better than expected. Ark mode cut a few too many corners like leaving the awful gap on the sides or molding all the guns in fixed positions instead of making them proper moving parts. Even more bizarre they gave it a spring loaded ramp that doesn't serve any real function and possibly sacrificed his middle thruster for it. Should have put that engineering into guns that can move. Otherwise it's serviceable as the Ark.
Bot mode is quite a bit better. Transformation is easy, parts don't fall off (if you do it right), he's very solid and his joints are very stiff (almost frighteningly on the shoulders). One thing I rally like is how the gaps fill themselves in when certain joints are moved. There are some signs real care put into this figure, but at the same time some really baffling decisions like both articulating his hands, but also making them nearly useless by making the fingers too straight. His big feet do make him super stable.
Mainframe is pretty cool though. His Teletraan 1 mode is easy enough to do, his Ark bridge mode is a neat bonus and his bot mode is solid enough. I doubt we'll ever get him in his normal red and blue colors, but he's a pretty nice figure on his own.
It's a little nitpicky but I am a little annoyed that he only has two sets of effect parts (six parts total) for his four thrusters, but I don't really use them anyway. How much are they saving by not giving his four sets?
