[@Kaizer617]

True fact, the robot mode is based heavily on The Last Autobot, a character who appeared in the 80th and final issue of the original Marvel Transformers Comic. He was a powerful Transformer who served the will of Primus. Later stories from the Transformers Collectors Club would also revealed his real name, Autonomous Maximus (or Autonomous Prime), and explain that he was one of the Thirteen Original Transformers, the Original Primes, who were created by Primus to battle his evil brother and archenemy, Unicron.

[@ATerminalJunkie]

I was going to say that and I kept telling Jobby in the live chat during B-roll filming, he is the last autobot. Nice job with your complete explanation! 👍

[@Kaizer617]

@@ATerminalJunkie Thank you! Shame Hasbro just forgot about him when they made the revised line-up for the Thirteen in the Aligned Continuity and onward. Ah, well. At least we finally have a figure of him. Plus, he's still a Prime in my book. Plus, I can't think of a better alt-mode for him than the Autobot's original flagship.

[@ATerminalJunkie]

@@Kaizer617 i agree, its why I got him personally. I thought the Netflix adaptation was trash but the comic was great and I think it was the perfect choice for an altmode.

[@LaneBassingthwaite]

@@ATerminalJunkie I liked Siege. Earthrise was meh and Kingdom wasn't great. Felt like they crammed too much into one season.

[@jamesianhutchison1165]

I'm confused. Is that a typo? I still have all my Transformers comics from the 80's and there are 332 of them. I don't think Dreamwave got to 80 and I'm pretty sure IDW did way more than 80. Yup. Confused. 😅

[@quinn_brock]

Hey Jobby, just a couple small things: Mainframe is actually an Action Master from the 90's, and Ark's robot mode is actually based on The Last Autobot :)

[@Elm-mcaine]

What is the last autobot

[@nobodycares9186]

How awkward is it to just call the Ark "Last Autobot"? Like, do you call it "Last", "Autobot", or "Ark"?

[@cylasbreakdown6140]

Yes, there were more micro figurines in the War for Cybertron toyline. A couple came with Unicron, and several came with the reformatting Galvatron figure.

[@DonaldWWitt]

Which came with Unicron? Reformatting Galvatron has Microfigures of Arcee, Cyclonus, Dirge, Kup, Megatron, Perceptor, Scourge, Soundwave, Starscream, Ultra Magnus, Dinobot Swoop, Dinobot Slug, Grimlock, and Dinobot Snarl. Oh, looks like Unicron came with a Hot Rod and Galvatron... I think Reformatting Selects "Behold, Galvatron! Unicron Companion Pack" is actually a better accessory pack for this instead.

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

Not the best Titan from the WFC Trilogy, but it’s still a pretty good one. I’d rank them something like this: 1) Scorponok 2) Omega Supreme 3) Ark I think other microscopic figures that are compatible with this figure like the included Prime (he’s practically a fleck of paint at this point 😂) came with other figures. Most notably the HasLab Unicron. It even included a little display base for the micro figures. If your interested in tackling another Beast Wars figure, have you tried the 3rd party ones from TransArts yet? I’ve heard their TransMetal figures are pretty solid. And your gonna tackle the 3rd party Cerebros? Does that mean you’ll eventually tackle the whole Fortress Maximus as a whole? Kinda makes me wonder if you’ve got the guts to get and review the upcoming 3rd party Metroplex that’s practically gonna be as big as an average 10 year old.

[@thethreesyrups169]

I would put titan metroplex in the 1st place because of the amount of articulation

[@thegiantenemyspider1]

@@thethreesyrups169 And I was primarily talking about the Titans from the WFC Trilogy. I tend to class the Legacy line separately. Even if some of the WFC Trilogy figures carried over into the Legacy line. Kinda weird reasoning, I know.

[@cgumby]

I actually love that he doesn't have a light up feature. I usually like how electronics look in the figure, but for me, the cost of designing the space and the tricky longevity of them isn't worth it The other titan I have is Metroplex, and I can't say I've even activated the light-up feature in years. I would have loved to have just gotten an extra weapon or more engineering instead

[@cobaltprime9467]

I’m hoping Legacy will rerelease this figure. Retooled to look like Animated’s version of Omega Supreme. Btw, while I’m glad there’s an upgrade kit. It’s BS Hasbro didn’t at least have those wing fillers. It does make it feel cheap when the price is so high. Really do love Mainframe’s… mainframe mode. Teletran 1 would look good in a display with some bots.

[@ARandomPersonWhoWatchesYoutube]

One year later and there wasn't a rerelease BUT now it has an archenemy

[@theringleader5596]

This was a nice review. A little harsh in some areas, but I can see where they come from and can understand Question: You plan on doing a review on the Legacy Metroplex? That thing's epic as hell and has just as many rachets. Doesn't have the gimicks of the classic Cybertron movie, but hey, it can look up and down!

[@theringleader5596]

I just looked back at my comment after getting notified..... what the heck was I tpying at some points? XD

[@yoy5903]

Love this figure! The transformation is surprisingly simple and there's a ton of detail, only real complaint for me is the visible knees on the wings but I can look over that. Great review jobby

[@ano1z943]

I can just hear Jobby thinking, “Why the hell am I doing this?” When he was posing megaton at 12:26 haha

[@munchies8244]

I don’t know if you already know this or not, so I am sorry if you do, but if you remove mainframe while the arc is in it’s ship mode, you can fit core class Optimus in the empty hole

[@m0stlyGh0sty]

I think Jobby needs figures like Earthrise Optimus, Siege Starscream, and Kingdom Megatron to properly sway his opinion on the mainline. They make really good stuff for really good prices, and ER Cliffjumper

[@fabiomura08]

Also Galvatron, one of the best out of Kingdom. Plus he already has it so, Jobby, review in live please?

[@ATerminalJunkie]

I bought all the mainline figures from wfc and I agree, they are the best yet. New legacy combiner menasor is so smart of a way to do combiners and can't wait to finish mine.

[@timberw1lly]

I think we've all been spoiled by epic 3rd party figures. Hasbro had an opportunity for greatness here, and I think they missed the mark. $175 for what's essentially a transforming MicroMachines playset is ridiculous. And another $40 for the accessory pack is highway robbery. This being said, a Saturday morning Jobby review is the best part of the weekend. Also, yes, it's been too long since a Beast Wars review. More, please 🤣

[@sssspider]

tbf, this thing done to standard 3P quality would also come with a 3P price. You’d be looking at like $300-400 at least for something this big.

[@timberw1lly]

@@sssspider I don't disagree in the slightest. It just comes across as more of a cheap toy, albeit the robot mode is excellent. I think I'm just biased towards the 3rd party figures these days, even while owning a couple Takara masterpiece figures.

@@timberw1lly Third party generally avoids the increased development costs associated with an official product across two companies and the budget/safety/"this being an actual toy that kids might want" restrictions Haskara works under.

[@nine_tails137]

This guy is my very first Titan Class Transformer figure... and I LOVE IT!!!! I just wish Hasbro added 2 more effects parts for the thrusters. Cause it feels incomplete without it. Also, having Core Class Megatron to put in his hand, makes it look even more dynamic. I might consider buying Core Class Megatron at one point. If just for that moment.

Hey Jobby, the ratchets in Ark’s shoulders are extremely tight because the tooth used to grab the ratchet is way too long. If you wanna fix that, I recommend disassembling it and sanding down the tooth that grabs the gear a little.

On a side note, I've been meaning to ask. I recently found a 35th anniversary Siege Prime on sale and a Aoyi Mech of the same mold (The upscale version with no kibble on the arms).

Can the Ark in Transformers transform? It revived and, unable to distinguish Autobot from Decepticon or to detect organic life (clearly it had suffered additional malfunctions since creating the Dinobots), it revived both sides to transform into the machines it perceived as the planet's dominant lifeforms. The Ark during the Matrix Quest.

[@brendanboiman]

Imma tell ya why he transforms; the autobots were traveling to earth but a space bridge explosion sent them to a dimension i don’t remember the name, anyway, while the autobots were in the dimension telatran was receiving data from some source they never mentioned, the data allowed telatran to transform the ark into well, the bot mode. This was simplified. Havent seen the show in forever
