So it was like "Optimus has combined with Jetfire? Well then Optimus's rival Megatron will combine with Jetfire's rival Shockwave."Rodimus Prime wrote:I'm most likely in the minority with this, but I never cared for that combination. I understand it was in response to the Optimus/Jetfire combo, but to me it was awkward and forced, and looked stupid. I guess if we ever get a leader Armada Megatron he might combine with a commander Tidal Wave. Personally, it's a feature I can do without and would gladly sacrifice in order to get better Megatron and Tidal Wave figures.ZeroWolf wrote:Plus lets save Tidal Wave (probably a Commander Class) for even we have an Armada Megatron redo to combine it with.
As a UT fan, leave it out, that combination-thing never made sense or looked good and I'd rather get a Titan Tidal Wave for a suitably big alt mode & the Armada game vibes than a Commander one to facilitate that combination.ZeroWolf wrote:I think the combination could be improved but I can't see Hasbro leaving it out, UT fans would complain too much about a play feature being nixed (on top of the minicon functionality being gone like the last few UT redos)

They can be new molds and also be clip ons.

I can see them hewing closer to the cartoon scale then the game.
Though knowing Hasbro they'd find a way to do a Titan Class TW and still have it combine. They'd likely to go by the gimmicks shown in the toon after all.
That's exactly what would like as well. And that way there's also the potential for a Broadside retool.RiddlerJ wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:As a UT fan, leave it out, that combination-thing never made sense or looked good and I'd rather get a Titan Tidal Wave for a suitably big alt mode & the Armada game vibes than a Commander one to facilitate that combination.ZeroWolf wrote:I think the combination could be improved but I can't see Hasbro leaving it out, UT fans would complain too much about a play feature being nixed (on top of the minicon functionality being gone like the last few UT redos)

It probably wouldn't be a popular option with UT fans, but I would love if they did Tidal Wave as just a Titan size aircraft carrier. One that deluxe size planes could land on,

No wait. Something's off about that pic. The head and arms look the same, but everything else looks different. It's some kind of Wheeljack retool.Razorbeast88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Or it's a placeholder pic, like all those Sideswipe silhouettes from last year's Galactic Odyssey Collection.Razorbeast88 wrote:Looks like the next golden disk set is gonna have yet another wheeljack.

Ahhhhhhhhh I stand corrected. That makes much more sense!
Can't wait to see what tigatron looks like! Whatever chapter that may be
