See also Legacy Armada Megatron. Slightly smaller, lost all its gimmicks- including Mini-Con hardpoints (and therefore 90% of its play value), but has knees.
Disappointing.

It also lost significant shoulder articulation too.
You'll get some gap fillers, articulated fingers, and foot platforms to make him taller.
Similar happened with the G2 OP legacy mold, they really messed up on the shoulders to create a more complex transformation than the desgin actually needed, there was nothing wrong with the massive shoulder pads but I think whoever approved of that also approved of what they did to Legacy Armada Megatron/Galvatron mold (we all know Galvatron is just going to be a straight repaint with no changes to the mold!
For a DNA kit for Tidalwave, his minicon would likely get made along with some useless stuff, likely, thou I hope they make something to cover up the back of the robot mode and hide the Mini Dark Fleet piece stored there, but then, I'm not sure exactly what they were thinking, when they desgined the rear, I mean that butt flap is, kind of pointless and cannot even be used as a cover for the back as it won't do the full 180!
I'm almost certain a DNA kit will address that.
I honestly can't believe that's just left open like that with no way of moving that plate to cover the gaping hole. That's just the oddest design choice.
Maybe. You never know with DNA. Their set might be garbage or it might be utter brilliance.
Their armada Prime set was a bunch of unneeded crap when all people might have needed are the hands, crotchpiece and maybe the super mode arm extensions. They didn't even bother mirroring the footplates, meaning they stick out of both sides and are basically unusable.
Their Animated Optimus set looks great but I'm taking an informed risk on that one given their history of boneheaded decisions.

I was actually considering using my Beast Machine Spy Streaks as Tidalwave's Mini-con type jets. I think their size will work well.
Depending on how Titalwave's back looks in person, I might consider developing some 3D printed parts to fill him out a bit. I'm not usually bothered by hollow setions, but if it is truly bad, I'll consider doing something about it.

wish it was a Voyager, but I gotta say that she actually looks pretty good!
Didn't like the mold enough as Windblade to buy it, but if Slipstream looks good in person, I might pick her up.
Slipstream is fine. I wish they'd make the head more angular and retool the wings to better differentiate from Windblade.
But here's Quake, a retool from Skullgrin. Both Targetmasters are included, and I dare say that Quake is a DRAMATIC improvement over Skullgrin's lackluster vehicle mode.

United G1 Quake & Target Masters Official Reveal Images from Transformers Legacy
As promised, the Hasbro Transformers team is showing the Legacy United Wave 4 figures this week. Mark Maher has just posted our 2nd reveal t

Slipstream looks pretty good aside from the hollowed out wings, Quake is most a vast improvement upon Skullgrin mold, thou the only thing letting the figure down is the lack of wheels for the vehicle mode, on Skullgrin, I have no idea what the heck they were trying to make for a alt mode, it was clearly a incomplete desgin, likely done on the fly and someone said "That good enough, into production is goes!!" With Quake, likely the person who created the desgin, actually managed to finish what they were aimming for as a alt mode
Maybe it's the lighting, but I'm not crazy about Quake's colors. He was a childhood favorite, and his deep maroon and dark blue color scheme was a part of that. I thought Titan's Return Quake captured it really well. These seem too bright.
Well whatever the case is, Mark is saying those colors are "accurate to his character persona".
Quake is just an embarrassment to the line. That isn't a tank. And if the plastic on the target masters were any thinner they'd only exist in two dimensions. That is a product that absolutely should not ship.
Slipstream is meh. That head doesn't go great with the rest of the body. Can the null rays not mount on the arms? But the colours are nice.
