The Worst Titan. Is It Actually That Bad??? | #transformers Kingdom Titan Class Autobot Ark Review
This video is made for adult collectors

I do like that the robot mode is a reference to the last autobot
Am I the only one who actually likes this guy? He's a lot of fun and the amounts of things Mainframe can do is cool. Yes he needs a big gun or something but I personally like it.
You’re not alone
There are 8 billion people on the planet, you are never the 'only one'
This is literally the first place I've seen people hating on it. I really like him, and I like all the little extras, I like the design. I thought the concensus on this guy was "Hey that's a'ight"
Jobby likes it, he loves his BIG BOYS
@@magnolia549 Oh for fuck's sake calm down. I wasn't being literal. Obviously I'm not the only one but there's a lot of people I've seen and heard from that aren't very fond of the the figure. Sorry I brought it up, jeez.
Totally dating the title. "The worst Titan SO FAR" also don't give Hasbro a challenge. They'll live up to it.
I honestly don't get why people hate this guy, I absolutely love him. The lack of hand articulation is disappointing and the gaps are odd, but I love the references packed into it and it was a cool way to get teletrann 1
Plus people can always get the upgrade kit
@@juliegrine2875yes they can but you gotta remember this is a TITAN you know the most expensive size class that shouldn’t be completely necessary to make this figure tolerable
Just a tip for ya, covering those pesky panels at the front of the ship which like to pop off (I know because I have the Ark as well). If you push down on the top side of the ship where the panels are located, it'll give you better clearance to grab the tabs and pull them down until you have 'just' enough clearance to open the top of the ship to reveal Mainframe (a.k.a the bridge/Teletraan-1) without the panels popping off the hinges. I personally think they should have had those panels on pins rather then friction points, but that would have probably inflated the already disgusting price of the figure lol
The Ark is definitely space cruising buddies with omega and cosmos
@@Cybertux-zp3fo yup!
The only reason I’d get one is if they retooled it for Generations Selects as Animated Omega Supreme.
I may get the Nemesis if that’s the Titan coming for Legacy. Especially if they make it Trypticon. But I don’t think it will be.
A nemesis ship would be awesome I personally think the head design should look exactly like Tarn or Soundwave because the decepticon logo was based on Soundwave’s head.
They already did Trypticon.
@@misterbeefy7006 could do it again and call it "Prime Nemesis/Trypticon" or something. We just saw Legacy Metroplex after a different one not too long ago.
@@emc246 Yeah, but that Metroplex that just came out is an entirely different character than the one that came out almost 10 years ago
@@emc246Imagine War For Cybertron (game) Trypticon
I really like the Arc. People are too harsh. It’s not perfect, but it’s a whole lot of fun to play with.
Funny story I got mine from universal studios and they couldn’t put it in a giant bag so they had to wrap it up it was ridiculously hard to carry around after a while I think I paid like 150 us and my experience with it was awful but the toy it’s not that bad it’s actually pretty good
Orlando?
That sounds epic
Yes
@@Lightbulb.g.a.r Damn you, I saw it and wanted it but didn’t have the money lol
:3
That big spike on the back of the ark is hollow, which is a big oversight because this thing looks great from the rear. I can see people displaying it backwards because that’s how we see it in the show but that hollow spot ruins the whole thing. You can see what I’m talking about at around 11:44
There's a moderately priced upgrade kit for the tower spike.
Also bothers me how the landing gear have detail on the inside but on the outside it’s hollow.
You summarized the community’s indifference with this figure within the first minute.
Since the Ark isn’t an established transformer, it’s a hard sell for a Titan Class, compared to the more iconic ones like Fortress Maximus, Trypticon, or Scorpanok
Regarding omega, he does have 3 modes he just pulls double duty in alt mode as a base mode too.
Also pop out mainframe and plop a few cores in the hollow cavity with ark in ship mode and it makes a nice playset.
Fantastic review That Toy Guy!!! I enjoy the fact that the Ark's robot mode is based on the comic character "The Last Autobot." (a.k.a. Autonomous Maximus) :D I kind of created a third mode for this figure I call "hibernation/statue mode." lol Its just a the name I came up for when I transform the Ark to store back inside its box, the head is placed inside the Ark's jet nose, and the legs are bent at the knees and turned sideways. Keep on being amazing.
I have this guy in ship mode with some upgrades applied to him that gives him some extra firepower, I got him more for the ship mode than anything else, thou with Teletran one I think he should of been bigger so that interacting with other figures in computer mode looks better!!
the ark is super awesome. granted, it could have used a lot of paint, but the toyhax set made it look insane. also, teletran is a sick figure. again, toyhax made it shine, but i love both it's modes and the old school ninja turtles-like backpack where you can stash all his stuff (remember those turtles figures where the shells opened up and you could put all the weapons & shit inside? i loved those).
Hey man, first of all, great content.
Second, I'd like to know if you could answer a question for me. Around the 7:30 minute mark, you talk about the Ark's shoulders exploding. So I grabbed my own figure off the shelf, took a listen and indeed, its right shoulder sounded quite scary. I opened it up to see if there was anything I could do about it, just to find a gear and a tooth that formed the ratchet joint. I'm afraid I don't understand in what way this joint could break. Could you perhaps point me to some pictures from those that claim their figures' joints broke? Or maybe explain how I could go about fixing the joint so my figure's not at risk? All I can think to do is sand the tooth a bit, but I'm afraid that'd only serve to turn the ratchet into a swivel. Sure, I could just take the tooth out entirely and leave it as a swivel proper, but doing that leaves said joint unable to support the weight of the arm and thus takes posability out of the question entirely. I suppose I could remove the tooth and then use some of the normal joint-tightening tricks, but given the forces at play on a titan class, I doubt this is the best idea.
What would you recommend?
As an owner of the ark I can positively tell you that this is only good for the nostalgia
I’m gonna have to disagree with you on that
Yea you're wrong, but nice opinion anyways
You mean it's good for lying dormant under a volcano for years? 😅
@@veekleek7535 lol
You are very correct
I like it. It is as close as you can get to an actual Autobot Ark. It also resembles the Last Autobot from the G1 Marvel comics in robot mode, there's also the classic Teletraan-1 computer, from the internal Mainframe robot, who also is an incredible robot, because the previous version of that character was in the G1 non-transforming Action Masters line.
Sure, the hands are a little wonky and awkward, and the gun turrets don't move, and there are some gaps in the spaceship mode. But I don't mind them because they add character to the spaceship, and the upper legs that are visible look like they are tubes connected to the engines.
I just love this guy regardless of its 'faults', I think the Ark is awesome. Would have preferred if he had come with a Transformer that turned into his weapon as well as Mainframe but is that not what the C.O.M.B.A.T is for? And a little imagination?
Mainframe will have bellbottoms as he is a star sailor!!!!
In the UK the Arks' been about £90 to £80 for six months or so, if you can get him?
12:18 Yeah those pieces NEVER stay on on mine lol
Hey toy guy, can you please make a tutorial on how to fix the shoulder ratchets? Both of them on mine are really tight and idk how to fix it without accidentally breaking anything
I only bought this at £90 (146.24 CAD) last year new but only got it for Ark mode. It’s still in the box due to lack of space for it and the upgrade kit from DNA will eventually be attached when it’s out.
I make all those ratchet sounds when I get out of bed in the morning....I think I was built by Haslab
The Ark was one of those starships I always wanted a model or toy of and never expected to get it. Right up there with the Macross/SDF-1 from Macross/Robotech. Because of that, I'm probably a bit more willing to overlook the faults of the figure for the sake of having a decently sized version of the ship. That said, I did wait for the price to drop significantly before picking one up. I may be nostalgic, but there's no way I'm paying 200 bucks for a single toy... Probably unintentionally lying about that, now that I think about it.
I love this guy. My first Titan I picked up for £100 you're getting a freaken transforming teletraan 1 . On top of the ark . ( or in this case inside it)The Autobot satellite from the pilot and 2 Golden discs. And end of the day it's the ark. Who wouldn't want it in their collection
They should have a third party company create extra pieces to give it a ship mode or explorer mode
Guess newer fans just don’t know The Last Autobot reference.
I just ordered him for $156 AUD on the amazon black friday deals. Hes yet to be delivered so I don't have a verdict yet. I do think it will look good on display next to Omega.
This guy makes the best thumbnails when reviewing titans
Ya know, pipes is one of those really cool little guys I got. Maybe not quite as fun as deep cover, but he's up there as far as deluxes go
I wouldn't say it's too bad, but I do believe, no, I know it can use some improvements. THANK GOD we got 3rd Party companies for making upgrade kits to fix figures that Hasbro's too lazy to do themselves.
Shelf warmer? The only way you buy Titan class toys in my area is by purchasing them online. I live in a city of almost a half a million people, and none of the stores in my area have ever stocked Titan class toys. The legacy line is the first time since the generations era that the Walmart and Target stores around here have had anything larger than voyager class toys.
I understand, I live in Europe and the only way you can get figures larger than Leader Class is throught online stores and in those you would better pre-order better because they sell out really quickly.
Hypothetically, imagine if this transformer had AMAZING lore, just enough of an attitude, great leadership without stepping over other authorities (figuratively), knows what he's good at and is respected, loved, and able to make others feel like their at home. And this was his toy version, and not only do you find out you were the only one to pay full price for him he was on the shelf long after the other "titans" released with him were sold out and maybe one other person in your area had a copy but it was only for their collection.
Titans _shelfwarm?_ You mean you can actually see them on shelves?
Also just the concept alone of the Ark being a Titan is cool enough for me to want this guy.
As someone who is as much of a transformers fan as a power rangers fan, from my experience, I pose it like how I do megazords, cause that's basically what it is to me. I don't need to have a lot of articulation when it comes to something this big. All it needs to do is go from one mode to the next, and stand there looking awesome and imposing. Just my two cents tho
i spent weeks custom painting mine, it looks amazing with a little paint !
I wonder how a Nemesis, transformer configuration would look.
The hands go up and down?
That's useful...
I like how he looks like "The Last Autobot" who was actually a prime. Before the concept of the thirteen came along and he was no longer canon.
I got this from my wife for an Xmas gift last year ,I live it did alot of panel lining it pops now!
He is the Only Titan class I keep in alt mode, on display. I got the awesome 3P crawler stand, which I cannot recommend enough, and one of the 3d printed wings upgrades that was was done for it. Both of those are minor cost conscious upgrades to enhance. Otherwise, it was pretty solid as is. I like the bot mode but it is trumped by Finally having a legit Ark mode. If you get him for a deal especially, I would recommend scooping him up.
I was just thinking with the new Autobot Bridge accessory scene and the Voyagers could they interact with The Ark. And its Micromasters. The scale needed to much bigger than this!
*Looks at The Nemesis*
.....Man the Ark is such a letdown.
I can't fathom thst some dislike this guy. Hes the only Titan thats ever interested me and its not because of the alt-mode. I legitimately think hes the coolest one on principle of his bot mode design alone.
Real talk, the only thing I wish he had was swivelable turrets. (That would have been easy enough)
@@magnolia549 by that logic, wouldn't that make That Toy Guy a narcissist?
Keep in mind, hes not. Your comment was just rude and foolish.
Im not narcing on his opinion, ir anyone's, I just like the figure. Plain as.
@@Gearshifter09 I'm sure I've seen a third party kit for that. Maybe a DNA Designs one.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX ive got the dna upgrade for his hands, but ill keep an eye out for others for sure
@@magnolia549 bruh I think you're the narcissist here. Their comment wasn't meant to put other down in any way whatsoever
my copy’s shoulder ratchet literally just snapped💀💀💀
Can it stand up on its engines in Ark mode, like a rocket on a launch pad?
Had an opportunity to get this for a great price at Target Once but I had to get some grocery so I had to pass on it so or not get food for awhile so haha haven't saw him since so haven't picked him up
I love this guy, but only with the dna upgrade kit for the hands
Mine has stayed in his ship mode since getting him when he first came out.😅
The ratchet sounds' like a sound of a tommy gun shooting the Ark.
I got the Ark at the beginning of the year in February with my birthday money, and i love it. I have wanted a titan class figure for so long, and the other figures options I did not really want. At the time, the choices were Omega Supreme, which was $300, Scorpinok ( Don't think I spelled it right) witch did not appeal to me. The way I buy figures are not based on the robot mode, but on vehicle mode, and I don't want a bace or a giant scorpion, so the Ark was the most exciting for me. That is the wasy I buy my Transformers, rather on the alt mode than the robot, and i prefer the most normal and unique alt mode. I'm talking like a suv or a Ford F150 or something you would see every day. I mean. There robots in disguise, and a big robotic dinosaur is not going to do that. This is just my opinion, I know that people are different, that is the way God made us. Thanks for reading this long comment.
Him: C$230 America: we got $20 more
great review. yeah something is missing fun wise. if it had a base mode. but the transformation seems so boring. i feel like its a oversized gobot or legends toy.
I have him, haven't messed with him, only a bit once (I suck). What really annoyed me were the turrets. Energon Sharkticon has 4 fully movable turrets and it's a deluxe. Why can't the Ark atleast have rotating turrets? They aren't even seperate pieces for me to get out and 3d print some myself to replace. And the huge gaps in spaceship mode. I still need to come across a decent upgrade set for a good price or maybe try and make something myself.
i love him, but i had to put a lot of money to get him to a "perfect." toy hax and lots of upgrade kits to get the hands right. i am happy that i did preorder him
Got him as a late birthday gift I love him and probably will be one of the only Titans I will be able to afford
I bought mine for like $120 Canadian last year during the Black Friday sale. Right now Metrolplex is on sale but this year I'm broke so no Titan class for me.
I want an omega supreme re-issue
My friend has started collecting bionicles around the same time I started collecting transformers.
And man, we out here arguing over the gaps in the Ark's altmode while my buddy is excitedly telling me the rakshi have knee joints.
I actually love this thing, pure fun and looks awesome to me
I'll probably get this at a discount for the ark mode for my Maximal display
Exited for Hot Rod And Crosshairs's Reviews
The only reason I couldn’t buy him was that he was not to scale with my other toys. I thought about getting some Jada nanofigs and putting him on a separate shelf, but decided not to.
If he was painted black with little bits of red and a missile pod was put on his shoulder, he would look a bit like Adam Smasher from cyberpunk 2077. I think that would be awesome.
Funny thing is I got this figure for my birthday and its my first titan class figure
I liked the transformers animated onega surprime ark ship concept
I dont mind that he transforms but i think it would of been far more easy just to have mainfraime transform for telatran one and the ark just be the ship that he merges with to have a mobile alt form
I like him a lot more than Fort Max. Fort doesn't even have this much ankle tilt, which cripples most of the other articulation he has. His transformation also consists of "Raise arm and lay down". Very boring and not much fun to transform or handle. Looks good on the shelf, but I think the Ark is a lot more fun to actually play with.
This thing details for $300 here. That’s the same price as the MP-02 Soundwave that came with five MP cassette bots… it isn’t even close to the quality of that.
I really hate the fact that the gun turrets can’t swivel.
I still want a retool as animated omega Supreme
I bought an Ark , transformed once then back again , then promptly sold it.
Good for you bud
Well, from what I've seen, the only good part is the alt mode and the smaller figures
I never saw this guy in stores. I had to order this online but got it on sale. I like the figure. I only got it because it's THE Ark. I did get the upgrade set for the better hands. I would like to get the Toy Hax stickers.
I love this guy myself. He is a great figure. My only issue was the hands.
I have never transformed mine, I got it for the ark mode and I hated even the ark mode until I got the dna upgrade, the huge gaps on the side and hollow tower wtf hasbro?
I like this figure though it’s not perfect. I’m hoping he gets repainted into Vector Prime, and Mainframe into Safeguard.
I've accepted that if HasTak ever repaints him into TFA Omega Supreme I will be buying my first titan repaint.
I think the problem with the Ark is it is a wasted opportunity, they could have made it an animated Omega Supreme for one, I get the feeling a lot of fans thought that's what it was going to be initially. Two we could have gotten another Titan in its place, like a metroplex reissue or a metro titan, grandus, grand Maximus, brave Maximus, tidal wave, countdown or something new. Though we were rumored to get the nemesis but I don't see that doing very well either. It is just kind of weird they did this and it got through every stage of product development.
As someone who didn't grow up with G1, I think this release was whatever. Not everwhelmingly terrible, but adequate. Only got it for the kingdom completion.
The ratchets on my copy of the Ark are loud enough to scare my dogs.
At 9:24 you just hear him squeak a little
I like it, but it couldve used a third base mode. Instead of a removable computer, it shouldve unfolded into a command center for mainline figures.
I dig him, dunno all the hate.wanted a Arc forever.
8:56 rivet? That's not a separate piece of plastic? Or even paint. Is it actually a metal rivet
Where? I haven't seen it anywhere, and I'd buy it
It's not that this piece doesn't have a 3rd mode. We only want this piece for the Ark mode in general, with that said you also can't do anything with the smaller figures like you discussed in this video. The robot mode just looks plain and dumb also. Being the 1st real Ark figure we have been given, it just really dropped the ball on so many levels.
I got this guy for 170 cad which was a pretty good deal, imo I like the robot mode its not for everyone.
I don’t think he really deserves the rank of worst Titan, mainly because… Devastator and Predaking aren’t even TITAN BOTS!
he is £80 in the uk at smyths
Literally no one says this is the worst Titan figure
Do dr wu figs fit
bought this one at full price..no regrets. Your not wrong, but I still like it alot. It really does NOT do much, but I like it. Also, The old Legends Megatron Pistol works great for a weapon for him :)
Probably gonna pick him up just for his alt mode honestly. It’s good for my stop motions. Especially as I might be able to find this guy at Ross for $60
I wanted it right off the bat but ended up skipping it. It does look cool in the Ark Mode!
nose cone needs some paint detailing
I like this guy, alot just don't have the $$ or shelf space for him, literally my only complaint is that he's not Omega Supreme (woulda been a nice Animated homage)
Edit; also wish you get Mainframe as a separate figure, both for display purposes and cause it's a neat figure
The only thing I didn't really like is the hands. They remind me of those old "space age" prosthetic hands people used to have to use back in the day. They just look awkward AF.
In stock configuration without the upgrade kits, the Ark isn't worth it. With the kits, it's worth it.
Personally, of the Titan class figures my least favorite is titans return fort max, mostly cause there’s so much lost potential due to the use of retooling metroplex, that’s about it
I missed out on the amazon sale just cant afford bots right now do think he better then people make him out to be hope the sale come back like Rodimus seem to be on sale all the time omega still king titan dont have any of them
It looks great...definitely too expensive though. I snapped it up straight away as l feared l may have missed out..I really regretted that decision.
