Here's what Marvel gave him, alongside the Triggerbots' totally-not-Earth modes.

Honestly, I'd love to see this in toy form -- especially as he still turned into the same G1 OP we all know and love.

Speaking of which, he also apparently had this...

...that would be cool, but I'm less excited about that one.

Both images from TFWiki, btw.

If it was a hover vehicle, I think it'd be perfect. But I'll agree its a very good design.

The Combat vehicle one, looks like you could kinda make it with a modified Scoop.

It makes more sense when you realize that humans didn't have to fit in it, and almost all of cybertron qualifes as "paved".

That is why I like the War Within and the Video Games desgins for pre-earth OP, he looks alien, yet transforms into a familar looking bot, the Seige figure, just screams that OP has already been to Earth and returned to Cybertron to fight even more intense battles there that requires him to alter his alt mode as blending in, isn't a priorty anymore and he taken some damage over the various battles!

I always assumed the second was supposed to be mid-transformation. It just isn't conveyed well because we don't see the end result.

Marvel gave Blaster a pre-Earth mode, too. Trying to remember if anyone else got one. IIRC Cosmos and the Insecticons were unchanged.

Weren't Beachcomber and the Coneheads in that story also?

Meanwhile, Cyberverse just had everyone already have Earth vehicle modes on Cybertron before ever coming to Earth (which was also the case in Challenge of the GoBots).

All except for Grimlock, who did have to acquire his T-Rex mode from prehistoric Earth.

Shock shock shock WAAAAAAAAAAVE!

Well the giant Pokemon sounding titan will definitely be in my collection.


And I must say, WERE MISSING THE GREATEST TRANSFORMERS EPIC EVER! NEMESIS! JUNKIONS! MAGMATRON! ANIMATED CHARACTERS!

On the other hand Netflix would just made some generic G1 show.

Transformers Legacy United - Titan Tidal Wave

“Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave”


With the daunting chant on impending doom and having been officially announced at Cybertron Fest Singapore, let’s get into the details of Titan Tidal Wave. With the launch of Legacy United, we knew that there was no greater time to revisit this character at the titan scale. This guy was a blast to work on, but we had so many priorities we needed to define out of the gate. As a Titan, Tidal Wave needed to deliver a large scale super articulated robot. As a vehicle, he needed to deliver a large flying aquatic war craft, which needed to be assembled out of 3 smaller vehicle form factors (the dark fleet). Tidal Wave needed to combine with Armada Megatron, to create Burning Megatron and we felt that he needed to have an alt mode that was achievable without the need to separate the vehicles in assembly. I’d like to say that we were able to achieve 4 out of the 5, but in the end, we did them all!

Shogo Hasui (Hasui san) was an absolute rockstar to work with on this project, and continued to find incredible solutions in delivering such a massive undertaking. He continued to push this figure forward despite all the curve balls that we through to him.

In the end Tidal Wave delivers a super articulated Titan robot, with waist, ankle, clever butterfly shoulders, wrist and neck. His chest weaponry all 8 turrets points are articulated for rotation, with the larger 4 featuring articulated barrels and 5mm ports for blast effect compatibility. In addition, his palm cannons also used 5mm ports that can be utilized in robot and alt mode

Tidal Waves color spec is primary based on the Armada animation with a few pieces of influence from the original toy, similar to Armada Megatron.

Transformers Legacy United - Titan Tidal Wave - Combined Burning Megatron

In order to combine with Megatron to create Burning Megatron, miniature versions of the dark fleet can be extracted from various parts of Tidal Wave in order to combine. To avoid being left with a partial titan during the combination, we introduced a secondary transformation to the hands to keep them in tact so that a very in tact titan figure remains. The miniature versions are able able to be displayed as mini dark fleet vehicles, that convert into their armored accessories for Megatron.

To assist with the added weight of the components, and to deliver a more frightening Megatron, Foot extensions are included to raise the characters height, along with the ability to port the arm weaponry into the sides of the arms or the upper shoulders.

Transformers Legacy United - Titan Tidal Wave - Alt Mode

We decided early on, the importance of delivering the dark fleet as 3 separate vehicles to align to the original toy, and the consistent onscreen combination sequence that took place on screen. Due to this figure being super articulated, we would not be able to have him transform from robot to combined war craft without separating the vehicle forms. In order to avoid having him be referred to as a parts former, we introduced a secondary alt mode as a battle station / weapons fortress.

Can anyone make out the tiny bots from the box art?
Always a good indicator of future product.
