Transformers Kingdom Titan Class Ark, Leader Class Galvatron, Deluxe Class Scorponok Revealed

Just noticed the hollow shins on Ark, clearly visible in both modes. That's disappointing. He will look quite flimsy next to Omega Supreme and the City Bots.

The Ark could work frightenling well as a weird Tidal Wave. Those little guns and the two pontoon-esque details on his chest remind me of him.

The Ark still looks great. but I guess the inclusion of the Micro Figure can put to rest the idea that the Core Class smaller representations of Classic Characters were for The Ark. I know that a lot of people enjoy them despite their small size, but they just seem pointless to me now.

As for the holloness. I'm guess the fact that it is only 19 inches, and uses less plastic overall than more recent Titan's is the reason for the slight price reduction. ($149.99)

Also, Teletran-1 Looks almost like it could be a weaponizer, but not sure...

Scorponok looks good except for all of that red in his beast mode. Its just so unsightly and ruins any of the real-life accuracy that they were obviously going for with his scorpion mode, makes him look like a rescue bots toy imo

I said it in the other thread, and I'll say it here. I'm not all that impressed by the Ark's ship mode. The robot mode I can't judge because there's no precedent as far as I know, but the ship design leaves a bit to be desired. Most notably the open sides where the robot thighs can be seen. Those should be covered up with panels. And to a lesser extent the inaccurate design of the boosters. Unless in Kingdom it will only have 4 instead of 5 like usual.

I was thinking the same thing, his whole robot mode has a very Tidal Wave-esque look to it.

...isn't Scorponok a Deluxe, not a Voyager?

getting all 3. but was this ark reveal worth the wait? nope.

Galvatron lloks good.I know its a reference to the G1 movie,but if I buy him,i would display him without the Matrix.

The Ark looks good too.Until they make Animated Omega Supreme,this guys is the best next thing.

Make it happen Hastak!

Scorponok robot mode looks good.I want to see a review to see more of the
beast mode,but the scorpion legs look decent.

Day 463 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I updated the article to use larger images after I figured out that I grabbed the smaller ones initially for ZeroWolf. I also included some cropped headshots to zoom in for a clearer look, now that I had larger images to work with. Enjoy and thanks for getting it posted so quickly ZeroWolf!

I love the Last Autobot head sculpt. Is the toy officially called "Autobot Ark"?

Finally! The Last Autobot!!!! Yes!!

Ok, so Teletraan-1 is Mainframe. I guess we'll be getting that repaint soon. Cool!

Yes, you are correct. That was my mistake. I read it at $29.99 for the MSRP, and because Scorponok had previously been a larger Mega class, my brain just went with that made complete sense for Scorponok. I updated the news article accordingly. Thanks Nemesis Primal!

Some more great stuff there. Scorponok is decent, and the Ark Autobot looks great. I like how Galvatron's cannon mode has a place for the rest of his robot mode's arm cannon.

So Galvatron's guns are designed to look like the ship from the movie, which would go nicely with the Unicron stand, except, they are the wrong color and don't come with an additional peg for that stand.

The Arc is okay, although does that 17 inches make him the shorties of the titans then? Not including the combiners. Someone mentioned the his needing some panels on the sides for the ship mode and I have to agree wholeheartedly. The void looks awful in ship mode.

I want a better look at that cyberbee on Scorpinok. Does it launch like a missile? Will it's butt have a large missile sticking out it?

Anytime boss

My thoughts:

I do like Galvatron, though I want to see the Selects redeco before I make my buying choice.

Scorponok, I want to like him, but he's just not doing it for me, there seems to be a disconnect between his torso and legs. I'll reserve judgment till we get in hand shots in.

Ark. I love him already just for Mainframe love the Last Autobot headsculpt. He's got a good look to him. He's also got the privilege of being the only Titan so far to not being based on any toy before (besides Mainframe of course)

The Ark looks really nice (even if you can see the robot legs...), but I'll need to think long and hard about whether or not I should actually get one. I rent an apartment now, and the Ark will probably cost just over a third of a month's rent, so I need to decide if I can really justify the price. I like Teletraan-1/Mainframe, but I'm getting a bit of deja vu with Mainframe's robot mode, the shoulders, arms and torso remind me of Combiner Wars Silverbolt, but not to the point where I'd say it's an extensive retool or anything.
As I've said in the other thread, I'm not really digging Scorponok. The robot legs look too small for the rest of his body, I wouldn't be surprised if this figure has issues standing up. While I get that the scorpion's colours are supposed to be cartoon accurate, I still don't think it looks very nice. The purple doesn't go very well with the red and grey, and looking back at some images from the cartoon, while Scorponok's claws are purple they're more of a blue-ish purple, which I think would've looked better than the violet we have here.

Your brain and mine, could have sworn he was a Voyager according to the leaked listings a while back! That's a whoops on my part as well.

Unfortunately, in spite of the more life-like Beast Mode head, the character accurate colour scheme was always going to make any notion of realism redundant.
