Transformers Legacy toyline

[Kalidor]

I'm definitely on team pro playset. I never have and probably never will have the ark as a robot that never existed. Same with nemesis. But give me a ship that scales with minitoys but could also be folded open like castle grayskull with a command center then we're talking.

The ark half ass does this with the teletraan that also inexplicably is a robot, but I see no such feature on nemesis. Which frankly seems a bit light on add ons compared to the ark.

Perhaps it's a case of Titan-sized shrinkflation? I was a little puzzled with the decision not to include another transforming figure, but I fear that this might be the cost of doing business in 2023.

 

[Kalidor]

There's not a ton associated with the nemesis anyway. Maybe they could have thrown in a space bridge ring that turned into a robot and named him Spanner but I'm just spitballing

I'm assuming her hand guns ate the extras budget, but I said the same thing about Sparkdrinker and Metroplex

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

I am just saying that its been a while since we had a good useful playset. The Nemesis would have been a good way of doing that since its just remembered for being a space ship.

And, by extension of other realities, Trypticon, etc.

I dunno but stuff like this gets me greedy for the Axalon and the Predacon ship.

I know united Axalon exists but that was a hot minute ago.

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.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

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

It wouldn't surprise me if Super 7 or some other sofubi company make official, oversized and overpriced "decoy" versions of G1 characters in the future, for over £100 a pop.

Transformers Keshi Surprise - Decepticons

The Super7 x Tranformers collaboration continues with the debut of Decepticons in 1.75" Keshi Surprise form! Megatron, Starscream, Shrapnel, Soundwave, Laserbeak, and Shockwave in 4 bright colorways packaged in individual blind boxes that also includes an exclusive foil sticker of the character...

The only way $50 a year for Pulse would be worth it is if that *guaranteed* you a chance to order any and all store exclusives.

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.

There was supposed to be an Ark II, but it got cut from the episode once the show got picked up for a full season.

All we see of it in the final episode is part of the launch platform. The rest is obscured off screen.
