The Fans Hobby paradox: They've make some of the chonkiest, safe-for-play, durable robots in my collection.... some of which have the thinnest folding panels, that I'm afraid to even look at the wrong way (thinking of their Godbomber's vehicle mode side/rear).
As someone who has a ton of nostalgia for the original Tidal Wave toy and not for the Armada cartoon, I'm really looking forward to getting FansHobby's attempt at this guy rather than the Hasbro Titan. I really appreciate the inclusion of most of the original play features (though I do miss the seats in the landing craft a bit), and especially the ability to transform between combined modes without disassembly like the original toy could. It really disappointed me that the Titan couldn't do that.
Yeah that was a very notable change for the Titan (that I actually had meant to mention here). The FH take certainly feels more like an update of the toy.
I find putting the backpack on first is far easier and I’ve used the galvatron instead of Megs just because the colours are more similar and his joints don’t seem to have an issue on mine
It sure has more play features than the legacy one but is so off model from armada tidal wave it feels like tidal wave’s younger brother/son, cool figure if you dont mind the looks of it
I wouldn’t say off model it’s more stylization/redesign for something different since the official one is out and is accurate and off model would mean it’s the same design but isn’t done correctly
Thank Primus, Unicron, and Gaea this thing ain't excessively large like the Legacy United Titan class Tidalwave. That way it can do the combination with Megatron/Galvatron *PROPERLY*, with _NO 🐳💩 FAKE PARTS REQUIRED!!_ 20:15 OUCH...that seems like a QC oversight or maybe even an outright QC failure. 21:35 ...that kneel is lookin' pretty cursed right now. 24:21 So even Hasbruh got the face wrong on the Legacy United one (silver instead of black)?? Typical. But at least the sculpt is accurate, idkwtf kinda 🐳💩 Fans Hobby's on with that odd lookin' thing... lookin' more like Overlord's kid than Tidalwave...
I must admit I don’t mind the “fake parts” option for the Legacy toy - I actually think it’s kinda fun. The Titan face is pretty accurate though, I think?

There are some thin panels on what is otherwise an exceptionally chunky and playable toy, yeah
Just got mine in, and can’t wait to tool around with him.
Have fun!

Can't wait for the green repaint 🤤
I really want the titan version in energon colours as I have this in the normal lol
I’d be surprised if not
Part of the battle cruiser can also be separated to serve as Megatron’s platform boots.
Oh of course it can! I massively struggled with that whole bit tbf but yeah, missed it
I actually think that version of Burning Megatron looks better, with improved kibble placement and a more balanced design…

I am going to give it a go on Galvatron now!
Damn, i want this figure now
Haha nice
You've probably discovered this but there are magnets included to activate the lights. Try putting the two minicons face to face.
Aha! The more you know

Yeah, “stylised” is how I would describe it. Same as their Armada OP in that regard I guess
HUZZAH
Well, quite :)
transformers ps2 wuz a cool game fighting tidal wave
So I gather!

Tidalwave face isn't black in the show

this pretty halfassed IMO
Oh?
any reasoning? I’d like to hear it since it does look pretty cool to me
