God I hope not. It isn't that I don't want a Tidal Wave, its that I want a good Tidal Wave, not another re-purposed mold what really only gets 1 mode right-ish. The Arkbot doesn't have a boat mode, Tidal Wave doesn't have a spaceship mode. The only thing they have in common is the robot profile and even for that you have to sort of squint.
Last time they re-tooled a titan we got the disappointing Fort Max with all that unused potential inside the legs. I'd rather that not happen again.

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!
Wolfman Jake wrote:"Mini Masterpiece" can be overused or even abused, but it's still a very valuable description for current Transformers toy collectors, especially now that toy design has advanced so far over the past several decades. I would definitely call many of the War for Cybertron Trilogy figures "Mini Masterpieces," like Earthrise Optimus Prime, Wheeljack, Bumblebee, Hoist, and Starscream, just to name a few. Others are merely "very good" modern toys. But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so whatever really impresses you can be a "Mini Masterpiece" of sorts.
The term "Mini Masterpiece" really just means a high quality figure of a character at a retail-line scale and price. That's what we've been getting lately from Hasbro and Takara Tomy. Your mileage may very, and the quality and value varies from figure to figure. The point is that we're coming up on a point where designs in the regular retail lines are catching up to the "Masterpiece" line, giving us very good looking figures in both robot and alternate modes, in a smaller scale, at a more affordable price. This is especially poignant as what Takara Tomy believes a "Masterpiece" figure entails has changed drastically over the past 20 years. We've changed scales, aesthetics, and articulation, to the point where a single character can costs hundreds of dollars. And they keep redoing older characters every time the line changes direction, so it feels like it will never really be finished. Many collectors, myself included, are cashing out of the Masterpiece line and "downsizing" to the much more affordable, space efficient, and complete "Generations" offerings in Transformers. Generations is quickly becoming the new standard of "definitive" modern Transformers collections.

I want to see more commanders class toys before I get hyped for them.
Jetfire and Sky Lynx are big toys.I don't think Rodimus Prime is bad,but he feels more like a leader class with extra stuff.

Weeeeell, that's debatable.
Sure ain't no Ark, though!

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

I found each locally at full price, but got everything on Amazon for a discount, so I'll be returning the ones from Amazon to Walmart with the full price receipt once they get here.

You'll let us know what you think about about inferno. I am surprised at how much I love him.
This might belong in Selects, but I hope we get a Hauler out of the mold.TF-fan kev777 wrote:william-james88 wrote:TF-fan kev777 wrote:Looks like Amazon is finally starting to ship out Kingdom wave 2.

I like him quite a bit, which is weird because Grapple was just so meh to me and this is the same mold. It's amazing what a difference deco can make for a figure.

I know right?! I haven't touched Grappel since got him but Inferno is right next to me on my work desk.

If I see it in the store, I will cancel it on Pulse, so it's all good.
