I think legacy will be the second longest transformers toyline(SS being first). They have a lot of characters to go through from the cartoons and possibly games. I hope the next titans will be this guy and the Nemesis
Damn that looks awesome 👍 I used to love watching TF Unicron trilogy back when I was in high school. The weekends were worth waiting for back in the year 2000's
Did you play the PS2 game? The Mid-Atlantic stage was one of my favorite parts of the game, given that the ENTIRE LEVEL transformed into the level's boss fight, and was actually one of the more challenging fights, even with the 'easy' way of using Lock-On* and Rangefinder. *Edit: I meant Lookout, not Lock-on. (Just realized Lock-on was a Rocket Launcher, not the sniper rifle).
I love that game and it was 1 of the reason why I started to collect the figures. I didn't like some of the figures and the names were different but man that game and this boss fight were hard. Bring so many great memories. At that time Game Shark was around and had cheats for this game to unlock all of the mini-cons for you.
A few years ago I wanted to get all 3 versions because they were around $30 each used online for years but I missed my chance on the purple takara/sonokong one that spiked in price and now some people are charging the same sometimes for the basic tidal wave. I still have mine from back when I was a kid. Could never afford any of the recent commender class figures which makes it wild to me now knowing it's about the same height as those. It's still wild how many features and gimmicks they were able to work into this figure with no electronics involved whatsoever. Only thing holding it back is the lack of knee bend, but I remember there used to be mods people did on this and Megatron by swapping out the legs with another figure with similarly sized legs. never did it myself but it's really odd how simple it would be to give them that articulation.
This was one of my favorite figures back in the armada days! The ps2 game really gave him some love as a boss and the whole level themed around him! You had to board his badass carrier mode and then fight him as a giant attack on titan style! It was so damn cool! Good times, man! ❤️😁👌🏻 the quality of the unicron trilogy figures were amazing! They were absolutely chunky tanks! I love that the little ramjet can store in his arm on that little elevator!
yeah it would make tidal wave super possabile but he dosen't realy need to be because it is tidal wave he is just supposed to stand there and say his name alot
according to a recent interwiev, we "12 monkey army"ed it into the project phase, it's very likelly it will be next titan. also, you can litterally get 3 different canonical coloration with a single mold in the gen select
Great review! This was one of my favourite Armada toys. All the military and jet Minicons looked so good with him and you can plug a bunch on his ports.
Incredible review Chefatron!!! Tidal Wave has always been one of my favorite Transformers characters/figures from the Armada series. :D I hope that if we ever get a re-release of his original 2003 figure that it will have his mostly purple and silver paint job from the Armada cartoon. Keep on being amazing.
I had the energon version. He was an ultra class. Really good but this was the better one. Do you get planet x px-c03 Nemeios? For me the toy of the year. Thanks again.
Just a great toy I never bothered to combine him with Megs since TW is so imposing by himself. He definitely needs an Generations update, maybe next year's Titan class toy.
definitely! yeah, i'll probably un-combine him when i store the figures... yeah definitely! but maybe just a commander class figure so he can combine with the rumored legacy leader armada megatron
between weaponry dock, tidalwave on-board gun, megatron turret and everything, the guys is borderline as ridicolous as what you can get with a couple of weaponizers this one is my grall. it was never sold here, and online market would not be a thing before it would reach the overwhelming prices. then you more ofthen than not found the energon decal, which are also awesome in their wey, but this color setup is better now, we are all waiting for the legacy and gen select treatments
You going to get the G2… think it’s name was Darkwing? Came with a smaller jet named Smokescreen. Was repainted once or twice. Apparently can be combined with Armada Megatron, even with Tidal Wave attached.
@@chefatron I was mistaken in the name, it is Dreadwing. The combination USED to be mentioned in the tfwiki, but not anymore outside of the Legends comic, and its original mentioning predates the Legends comic. I recall it had a different name when you had Tidal Wave also attached.
@@chefatron Ok, more details. Apparently it only works with the RID versions, Dreadwing and Smokejumper. On their pages in the tfwiki, there are links for the instructions for combining them with Armada Galvatron for MegaWing Galvatron, but it works with any usage of the Armada Megatron mold. The instructions were in a single issue of 3H's Official Transformers Collectors Club Magazine, and they lost the license before showing the instructions for Dark MegaWing Galvatron, which uses Tidal Wave.
el enorme tidal wave una gran figura este robot tiene tres colores esta del color del juego de video el de takara que es del color de la serie morado con negro lo llaman shockwave y el de la serie energon en los comic de idw tiene un modo bestia una ballena es fabuloso

yes i would think so...
Damn that looks awesome 👍 I used to love watching TF Unicron trilogy back when I was in high school. The weekends were worth waiting for back in the year 2000's
oh yeah, definitely man
i wish we'd get more of those animated shows instead of the nickelodeon and netflix stuff...

no man, i didn't, sorry

I have that game - it is one if not the best Transformers game ever made.
Love that the entire level was based around him! Super fun game! Good times, man! 😁👌🏻
imagine a Tidal Wave big enough that Jetfire could take off and land.
Now imagine trying to transform tidalwave on your own 😅
I could see him as the next Titan! (but I've been saying that for 10 years lmao)
wow that would be crazy and epic at the same time!
Lol you took me back to my childhood with all those late 80's-early 90's references! Thundersub, Bio-man, Top Gun, Centurion etc. 😅
awesome! i know right?! 80s were the best!
I need the all purple variant. Hopefully Legacy will make a Titan Class Tidalwave.
yes let's hope so!
Jesus I would LOVE a current remake of this figure in Titan Class!!!
of yes definitely! perhaps just a commander class so he can combine with the rumored Leader Legacy Armada Megatron

man that's awesome
i didn't even know this figure came in 3 colors!

that's so awesome man!
Shapeways made an upgrade kit for Tidalwave legs. The kit gives Tidalwave a bend at the knee how awesome is that? This is a dream come true.
yeah it would make tidal wave super possabile but he dosen't realy need to be because it is tidal wave he is just supposed to stand there and say his name alot
Could you imagine if for the next Titan class Hasbro does Tidal Wave?!
according to a recent interwiev, we "12 monkey army"ed it into the project phase, it's very likelly it will be next titan. also, you can litterally get 3 different canonical coloration with a single mold in the gen select
oh man that would be epic!
great review Chef! I'm waiting for a sealed 2003 Armada Tidal Wave to be delivered today!!!🎉🎉🎉 getting charged up watching everyone's reviews!
thanks so much ! bro!
oh wow! congrats on scoring one!
I'm really hoping for either a titan or commander class update to this figure in legacy
yes same!
Great review! This was one of my favourite Armada toys. All the military and jet Minicons looked so good with him and you can plug a bunch on his ports.
thanks so much Ray, man this was really an awesome toy! thanks for letting me have him 🙂
@@chefatron Glad you like him.
A titan class figure was indirectly confirmed at SDCC 2022 during the Q and A section
oh wow! really?!
A truly fabulous toy. This guy seriously needs a Titan class toy!
indeed, but perhaps just a commander class figure so he could still combine with the rumored legacy leader armada megatron
Incredible review Chefatron!!! Tidal Wave has always been one of my favorite Transformers characters/figures from the Armada series. :D I hope that if we ever get a re-release of his original 2003 figure that it will have his mostly purple and silver paint job from the Armada cartoon.

thanks so much bro as always 🙂 awesome man!
yes let's hope so!
@@chefatron You're welcome. :D Fingers crossed.
I had the energon version. He was an ultra class. Really good but this was the better one. Do you get planet x px-c03 Nemeios? For me the toy of the year. Thanks again.
awesome man!
oh i didn't get that.. i don't really buy 3rd party figures, though...
no prob, thanks man 🙂
Wow! After all this time, I'm just learning that his turret guns can elevate! Thank you!
hahaha really? glad i could help man 🙂
Unicron Trilogy Toys had the best Plastic Quality ever! We Need a Legacy Tidal Wave!
yes absolutely man!
Just a great toy I never bothered to combine him with Megs since TW is so imposing by himself. He definitely needs an Generations update, maybe next year's Titan class toy.
definitely!
yeah, i'll probably un-combine him when i store the figures...
yeah definitely! but maybe just a commander class figure so he can combine with the rumored legacy leader armada megatron
The more i see him the more i love him 80s awsome head
awesome man! yeah he's pretty cool!
I have the energon version still in storage i loved it as a kid! Armada had some great figures and a lot of not so great as well
oh man that's awesome !
In PS2 Game Version, this is one of the Boss Fight :) 😅🙏
Love the Centurions reference ❤
i hope we get a Legacy Titan Class Cybertron Menasor/Moledive
wow! that would be awesome !
"oi donkey i became a bluesh green transformers laddy"
I think we need a new Titan-class Tidal Wave.
yes, but i'd be ok with a commander class, so he can combine with the rumored legacy armada megatron
thanks for the review i also have this guy
no prob 🙂oh awesome !
between weaponry dock, tidalwave on-board gun, megatron turret and everything, the guys is borderline as ridicolous as what you can get with a couple of weaponizers
this one is my grall. it was never sold here, and online market would not be a thing before it would reach the overwhelming prices. then you more ofthen than not found the energon decal, which are also awesome in their wey, but this color setup is better
now, we are all waiting for the legacy and gen select treatments
yes definitely!
awesome man, i hope you find him in the future, it's really a fun toy!
yes, let's hope they do it right!
