please note if you are reviewing your one please have it so that its in your collection now not the one your getting next week!

My transformer is armada tidalwave (japan version) i loved his charater in the cartoon and his place in the game. why i loved him so much was because he was one of the first figures i seen, and because armada is the earliest transformers cartoon i can fully remember. give me a break im 15 i wasnt around g1 but did see a bit of it. his colours i wouldnt expect for a aircraft carrier but it was decepticon colours. joints dandy ratching joints. minicon ramjet, love how he folded up into his own little compartment, then he even powerlinked with megatron but havnt got him yet and probaly cant be bothered. he then split up into the dark fleet the personal carrier with the diddy seats for minicons i cant get enough of! the turning turrets on the torso and the aircraft carrier really nice details on the air tower. man i love him that much ive locked him in his box for the next 10 years!
the one dissapointment of him or my firgure was the cost but, but but but! ever other transformer i guess is a rip off bt i cant argue with it. the cost of my tidy was £25.00 which when i come to think of it isint that much considering the shipping to get it over here, im guessing forbiddonplanet made a loss on that one but my rating for this guy 200/10. some may argue that hes not the best but hes my child hood hero!

Mcdonald's Armada Megatron

Ive enver understood the love for Tidalwave. He just looks a little lame to me.

I love me some Tidalwave, he is such a versatile figure. You have 3 boats, that can all combine into one. Each ship has it's own gimmicks to use with Minicons. Tidalwave's robot mode is huge, which is not overly excessive for a change (yeah, I'm looking at you Supreme Starscream). Plus, he can combine with Megatron to form a shield, rocket boosters, and weapon (melee or ranged, it can do both).

I say the best combo though is Micron Legends Shockwave and OTFCC '04 Megazarak. They look sweet combined together.

Problem is, Tidal wave is suposed to be this epic giant and rather large Spaceship/Armada, and Megatron is suposed to be a tank of similer size ot human built tanks. How on earth could they possibly combine?!?

Mind I dont think it helps that I got my Tidalwave as a freebee with a lot of Galaxy Force tfs I got (excepcionaly cheap) offa t'bay. When you have a complete and boxed Galaxy Convoy, Flame Convoy and Dreadrock, you tend not to be particularly interested in a tf who has near G1 articulation and no accessories.

Well the Armada TV show could never make up their minds. 1 minute, he makes Jet Convoy look like a midget, the next, he's slightly taller than Jetfire.

The comics also made Tidalwave the same size as his toy counterpart in comparison to the other figures.

The game is really the only incarnation of Tidalwave that makes him epically large (being an actual ship that normal sized transformers occupy)

This is probaly my favorite Transfomer, OFTCC Universe MegaZarak.
I like him, because of the colors. The outline of blue, and his color scheme give it such a different look than the Armada Megatron or Galvatron can pull off. I actually traded some of my TF Robotmasters to get it, but even so, I still display it all the time.

The tank mode is awesome. It has features like hidden compartments, places for lots of minicons to be put and stored.

Downsied is the electronics are gone, but other than that, I enjoy the exclusiveness of it.
The price for him varies, but I'm glad I got one.
I give it a 8.5/10

Classics Jetfire. Love that guy...

thats right my tidalwave figure is called shockwave

for now classics bumblebee i like his transformation,colour scheme, and alt mode even though he has a crack on the top left of his chest he is still my favourite until movie prime

For me, R.I.D. Prime. he got me into collecting, and he is part of the highlight of my collection: Omega Prime.


He's fully articulated. Lots of modes. great armor. and lots bang. He's always there, either combined or by himself. But he is the only one that has never been in storage.

Mines is TFC#6 Megatron. He's the only TF I got that is never in storage or in the box. Also, he has so many accesories, the sword, scope, mace, and that odd looking gun. And he shoots bullets, that sooo cool.

Rid black convey(scourge) I remember seeing it on picture of it here on seibertron. Then finding him on ebay for a really good price I bought him without a second thought he is display next to rid ultra magnus and rid optiums prime. I have to say what spoke to me is the color scheme. Also the fact that when he was in truck mode he had no decepticon symbols he look like a normal earth tanker truck.

Turbomaster Flash.

He is red, has a sleek alt mode, the best firing range of any figure from any line, has a nice and bulky (but not quite brick like) robot mode.

The fact he is also the first Transformer I ever bought all by myself probably helps to no end too.
