The Club can only retool one aspect of a toy, so either just the head or just the sword, but not both, could be retooled for a potential Blitzwing-as-Broadside remold.

Armada molds are too old for the Club to use now. This year's theme will consist of "Classics and Friends" molds, at least one Energon mold, and maybe some Prime molds (with Cannonball being the only one in the set).

Where did that come from?

pretty sure it's Steamhammer. because that makes as little sense as any of the other speculation.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

I'm starting to wonder when and which announcement this Tweet pertains to, as it might not be the next since it only says that this toy is "coming" rather than "coming next".

Tidal Wave was an Energon mold too. In fact, the Energon mold is slightly retooled from the Armada mold. I'm not saying it WILL be Tidal Wave; all I'm saying is that the "Energon but not Armada" rule doesn't rule it out as a possibility.

As for Prime molds... I'm still assuming Thundertron will be part of the set, because how could he NOT be? He's a pirate and the captain of the Tidal Wave.

Of Aligned Tidal Wave, not the Wing-verse one that we're dealing with here. That be Cannonball's ship.

Being redecoed for the Energon line doesn't make it an Energon mold if the mold didn't originate with that line.

That's like saying those five Beast Wars figures that were remolded for Armada are Armada molds.

It is?

Are you referring to the missile triggers?

Because those were retooled for Micron Legends Shockwave.

Souvenir Troop Builder set? Wait... Armada Tidal Wave is in 3 parts, and there will be 3 Souvenir Sets. :-? This looks enticing for providing an incentive to get all 3 Sets


Three sets, three troop-builder figures, three components of Armada Tidal Wave.

Half-Life 3 confirmed. 8-}

In all seriousness, I doubt Tidal Wave would be the "character everyone knows about".

As for guessing something, I really got nothing. Drawing a blank on this. :-|

But where is it implied that the Star Seekers' ship is made of three parts?

Though, is that a suggestion that, if they were the use the Armada Tidal Wave mold, that its three components would be split across souvenir sets? I really don't think the Club would do that since, if one or two of those sets were to sell out before the rest, that would suck for those who would miss out on getting all three sets. Plus, the troop builder set is one of those three, so it can't have a component since that set usually contains two or three of the same figure.

That is how the whole usage of Armada Tidal Wave started.

The message said the ship's name is Tidal Wave, user points out Armada Tidal Wave is made up of three parts, there are three sets.
Then people started going on about a Broadside being made from Armada Tidal Wave.

All I did was point out that there is nothing that supports a Broadside made from Armada TW, other than the coincidence of the figure being made up of three parts like stated in what I quoted there.

So I don't really see what your problem is there. Since all I did was point out like you that it's not really a thing.
