How about this?
I'm thinking of going with:
Jazz - Doritus
Mirage - Sedalus (Seedless)
Sideswipe - Boulevard or Sunchaser
Laser Cycle - Sprite (the drink)
Here you go.
To be fair, even taking that as Tidal Wave, it could be argued that the statement "we need a new Tidal Wave" applies more, not less.
I'm still iffy on a Titan class one, but a Commander class would be perfect.
(I am kinda tempted to backtrack and get the TR one, but the few I've seen in the meantime have been too pricey for me given how much other stuff I should be getting first.)
Oooh, Orange Jazz might be "Fantasm"
Portmanteau-ing "Fanta and Phantasm" seems fittingly terrible.
A Mirage is something you see that isn't there... I think this one might be "Delirium"
The Sideswipe is going to be "Sunstroke"
--ZacWilliam, feels like an unintended theme developing for this team.

Save Oilasis for a Trailbreaker repaint. Who keeps his forcefield power. "Anyway, here's Wonderwall."
I'll show myself out.

Well, as both he and Jazz effectively promoted naughty things, I think the video below is a suitable reference for your name choice...
Tidal Wave really should be the next Titan class figure. I am shocked that the did Cybertron Metroplex over him.
Here you go.
I'm desperate enough that I did buy one of these.
I also picked one up when I found one for a very good price a few years ago. Honestly I think I prefer the mold as a G1 Tidal Wave rather then Broadside.
The physique is a good fit for Tidal Wave. The alt modes are just lame.
Personally I have no issue with the Air craft carrier mode. The "jet mode" is terrible, but it bugs me less for Tidal Wave; since There is no actual G1 Tidal wave, anything can be accurate for him. And it not looking like a earth jet stands out less for him with that consideration then it does for Broadside.
If your wanting an update to the actual Armada toy, yes he's a complete failure. But if you accept him as a new take on the character, he's perfectly fine.

Yeah I’m a livestream they kinda let it slip.
Tidal Wave as a Titan class would be too big to combine with Megs. Commander class is the likely avenue, especially now that mini-cons are being revealed. Package him with Tidal Wave and Megatrons and I think you can justify commander class vs leader class better.
and this is what I meant about the minicons. We should have known this repaint was coming, but Jolt is a fantastic addition. I wonder what that does for the price of him though.

San Diego Comic Con 2023 – Hasbro Breakfast Event – Legacy Powerlinx Hot Shot & Jolt Revealed!
Just in from the TFW team at SDCC 2023 are some pics from the Hasbro Breakfast Event, giving us our first look at a new product reveal - Legacy Powerlinx Hot Shot with Jolt! As you'd expect, it's a redeco of Legacy Evolution Deluxe Armada Hot Shot now with some new guns and a set...

I'm guessing the new guns, blast effects, and minicon take him up to a Voyager?
Also, from the art on the box front, it looks like they're using the Legacy Conehead mold for Armada Thrust. I don't have any attachment to Armada, but I will buy any seeker remolds/repaints they care to make.

I wish they'd made Jolt yellow.
Ah, well, maybe Takara will make it into a campaign item, but... That's so much extra work.
For Thrust, maybe a Starscream style body (wings on torso, not legs) with a Conehead, er, head. Maybe some retooling to add a VTOL fan somewhere and/or cover up the chest gap so the cockpit isn't visible in robot mode. Although that's stuff an upgrade kit can also add. Either way, it'll be good to see that color scheme again.

Hot Shot will push $40, mark my words. It's not just the minicon, but the extra guns and blast effects as well.
Also, that sure looks like an Armada Thrust from the cone head mold lurking back there...

Looks like a remold of the Conehead body. The wings now seem to be smaller and maybe mounted to the shoulders? Or maybe on a swing-up pivot like Dirge's canards.
