They didn't show one during the live stream, instead she appears to have jet hangers with jet "slugs" of the Coneheads and a Siege Tetra Jet.

Would commander class be too big to be compatible? I wonder if it would need to be leader size?
I guess you need one tidal wave as a titan. And then a smaller version to be compatible.

If they Commander class Tidalwave I'll be in tears.
Tidalwave needs to be the Titan after Nemesis, for any people of culture >>> Transformers Armada Playstation 2.
That Tidalwave was awesome. And if there are people who still want a Megatron combining mode, just have him sit in the chest of a Titan like a Breast(Boob) Master or some sort.
I'd much rather have a freaking huge aircraft carrier than things like Titan Cybertron Metroplex.
Think of all the minicon / Micro Master Jets we have, all lined up on a table sized Transformer (tiny table)

As passionate as a couple of fans are about that PS2 game, you have to understand you are a vocal minority, and Hasbro seems to go with what they feel is most popular.
I completely understand though. It makes zero sense to me that we are getting a core class Dinoking, when in animation, he was as big as all other combiners. The only counter argument to this is: "original toy was small" which is exactly what was wrong about it...So yeah it's frustrating at times.

It doesn't have to work like Energon Omega Supreme, it could have smaller parts that detach from the titan, sort of how you still have trailer leftover from Commander Motormaster when you combine him into Menasor. So there'd be smaller parts that detach, which combine with Megatron, and presumably the remainder could still be a sort of still functional toy. He doesn't NEED to be a Titan Class though, in my opinion, as long as he's bigger than leader class it's fine, so a Commander would cut it too. But Titan would be ideal.

That still isn't accurate to the anime. And if Legacy Menasor has proven anything, it's that Legacy's MO is near pathological obsession with animation accuracy.

The Prime Universe and Animated universe figures would strongly disagree.
It's because the Prime and Animated aesthetics aren't GEEWUN enough for this design team, who want all the toys in Legacy to have a unified GEEWUN aesthetic. And yet, despite they're saying that, they let all the Beast Wars characters keep their non-G1 aesthetic despite those guys being just as (if not more) rounded and curvy as the Prime and Animated characters. It's a complete hypocrisy.Rtron wrote:I swear I have no idea why they won't just leave those aesthetics as they were. I suspect it's because they're not a bunch of cubes, but at the same time, they haven't gathered millions of dollars in revenue like the movies, so they feel justified in saying "people won't like it because they're not cubes".

On that note, I'd also really like to see G1 guys styled like Beast Wars guys. I always thought it'd be cool to see more realistic animal versions of Predacons and Seacons with hints of their G1 robot modes.

So the focus would be on the alt-mode rather than the bot modes. That's a lot like what Dream Star is doing with their faux-Aerialbot team. Rather than the planes colored as an afterthought to the bots, the bots are colored as an afterthought to the plane modes which are a very slick gunmetal grey.

You just have to keep chasing that alt-mode centric dream line of yours, don't you?
(so do I)
Wasn't a third party doing that alt mode swap idea? I think I saw them do a helicopter Waspinator recently, and there was also a bird Starscream.

I know a lot of people are hating the designs/limitations of these guys for the sack of a combined mode, but for me these little guys are so fun to mess with. The lack of elbows is a bit frustrating, but I'm having such a blast messing with them regardless, plus I grew up with Lego and Bakugan, two things that don't really use articulation. Yeah, there are better versions (including SS86), but having a desk combiner that isn't the size of a monitor, plus the individual bot modes is awesome to me. I can't wait to get the rest of them and the Dinoking repaint (and I'm kinda hoping maybe Hasbro tosses us a bone and also does SG colors?)
