- Motto: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes"
So... initial thoughts on The Ark...
Well...it's definitely not my favorite Titan, in fact I'd say it is my least favorite. Still, does that make this a bad toy? Not necessarily. I absolutely knew what I was getting, so I don't blame anyone.
The highlight is definitely Mainframe/Teletran-1. It appears much of the development went into how versatile this deluxe bot is, and how it integrates with the Ark, as opposed to the Titan itself. Still the ultimate test will come later. I'll see what my son thinks when he gets home later today, after all the whole collection is going to be his someday anyway...
So...am I a little disappointed? Sure. Buyers regret? Definitely not. I'd much rather have this, than not have it so that counts for something. If you are a Titan completionist, or if you just love The Ark (as I imagine a LOT of fans will keep this guy in Shuttle mode), than go for it.
If you are on the fence about Titans, and don't have much space, then definitely skip it. The Awesomeness of Omega Supreme and Scorponok the previous 2 years definitely set the bar a little too high I think for this new Titan. Still, a Transforming Nemesis down the line as a rival would be a welcome addition. I guess only time will tell.
