And it wasn't really the Axalon, but rather a Japan-only Sharkticon recolour. There was an American exclusive mini toy of it though.
Ironically, the Axalon Sharkticon used design cues from the G1 Nemesis, coming full-circle back to the original topic.
And it looks more like the Nemesis anyway.
This is a more interesting looking bot than the Ark, but it's sad that it does so little else.
I continue to believe that Commanders are the sweet spot. The budget just doesn't go far enough anymore to let Titans do much besides be big. Commanders are comparatively packed with features.

What I want someday (and probably won't get) would be a 'that one room from the show' mode from an Ark and Nemesis. Most times the Autobot or Decepticon bases would have their scenes take place in some generic room where you'd have the computer on the wall, some table/medical bed/flat thing, maybe a chair for Megatron. It would be rather easy to make either ship in Titan size unfold into a decently sized diorama that would work for almost all toy sizes one way or another. Nothing would be perfect since size was out to lunch for the most part, no matter what the scale charts claim, but it would be a great thing to have a toy of the base that unfolds INTO the base.
RE: the note about pricings, I'm seriously considering just letting Pulse lapse. I don't know if I'm getting enough anymore to compensate for the extra $50.

Just be glad you can actually take advantage of the free shipping, unlike Alaska, Hawaii and the rest of the friggen world.

One thing to note about that. Unlike the Ark being the Autobot's Earth base, the Nemesis wasn't the ship that the Decepticons used as their Earth base.
I've already spent or have on order $69 (nice) worth of shipping for this year alone. The free shipping of Pulse would have already paid for itself now.. which is probably why they don't offer it to Alaska
That maybe so, but the Victory (I believe its called) was pretty much the same basic shape and type of ship as the Nemesis, thou I wonder why the Autobots never decided to build a Ark 2 during G1, unlike the cons, they could of salvaged much of the original Ark parts and get aid from the humans on Earth, then again, one has to wonder what the real state of the ship was after 4 million years stuck in the side of a mountain, aside from cobwebs, were any parts of the ship falling apart due to Earth's atmosphere?
Right. But I would be willing to suspend disbelief if the set would allow me to both:
a). Have a nice-looking space ship mode.
b). "Convert" into a fun, engaging little play scene inside.
Doesn't MTMTE end with the Autobots recieving aid from Earth to repair the Ark and go home. (Spike and Sparkplug are excited to go see an alien planet) It get's forgotten by the next episode, though they did learn the Decepticons were alive in that episode so you could probably headcanon it.
Either way, the battle is initially constrained to Earth for the most part, and any trips to Cybertron could be done by Space Bridge. By the time space travel is more common in S2, they had Cosmos, Astrotrain and Omega Supreme to fly around in.
I mentioned it back when we first heard about the Nemesis, but despite not being the Victory, I'd have enjoyed if instead of removable hand cannons and whatnot, they'd instead had removable components that could form the little domes and towers and stuff that comprised their undersea base in the first two seasons of the cartoon.
That would have been a nice alternative to the Teletraan/Mainframe inclusion, I think.
...and I dunno, I guess if you must, let those form weapons of some kind for the robot.

Huh?
Hasbro Pulse thing
I was always surprised that they managed to rebuild the Ark in the Marvel comic book and took it to space again.
