I sincerely doubt that Hasbro had any interest in paying homage to Uprising when creating this Tidal Wave figure. Otherwise, the figure would have had that deco instead of an Armada cartoon-based one.

The reason Uprising Tidal Wave used the TR Broadside design is because Uprising liked applying recent toy-based designs to its characters and such, regardless of any potential for their development.

Agreed. I haven't read uprising but I did read all what tfwiki has had to offer and Jesus it sounds like complete garbage. It's like they said "well we milked shattered glass to be the most hated thing in ten years next to machinemas combiner wars...what else can we do?"

Excuse me?

Uprising's prose stories were some of the most prolific works to come out of the Club in, like, ever. Those stories were deep, man.

There are a few paint application and layout differences.

That's a good looking set. At first I was only interested for Ginrai, and the possible Godbomber later on, but seeing them together as a group, I'm sold on the set.

Tidal Wave's jet mode.

What jet mode?

Tidal Wave, stickers aside, actually looks pretty good. Not big enough to be Tidal Wave but still a better looking toy than Broadside IMO.

Pounce is a dorable. Enough said.

Metalhawk...ech. Those colours look weird, especially in jet mode. Better than the Funpub figure though.

Magnus Prime looks cool but if I get any version of him it'll be the pack with Godbomber, Minerva and Cab.

Thunderwing is an extra Headmaster, no complaints there.

I was expecting Metalhawk to be more gold than caramel. Oh well. I'd still like him.


But Tidal Wave blows me away. He was the one I was a bit meh on (except Thunderwing, I have no use for bodyless Thunderwing). But man, Tidal wave may be my favourite from the set. That face sculpt. Those colours. It's glorious!

Totally agree, Uprising was incredible. Also box-set Tidal Wave is the hawtness.

So no chromed-out trailer for prime?? Aw. That was seriously a huge selling point for me back at toy fair. Everything else looks great, though. Tidal Wave's head is awesome. Would have been cool.of then to change the Arial bots out for decepticons, I dunno with what though. Seekers?

Sigh. So much for the silver painted gray plastic we saw on Magnus Prime at Toy Fair earlier this year. That looked gorgeous! This is great, but still a bit disappointing. I shouldn't have dared to hope.
