BIG BOY - Transformers Kingdom Autobot ARK Review

[@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 :)

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r]

The Ark needs to be transformable in more media cause DAMN its so cool!

[@joeysullivanTM]

Agreed

[@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

[@TBevill1231]

The tiny micro figures were brought out to scale with the WFC Haslab Unicron. Unicron has Galvatron and Rodimus, and a few more came with the Behold, Galvatron figure.

[@TightPantsJack]

8:29 Sky Spy! I had no idea that was included. Nice G1 callback.

[@joeysullivanTM]

This was definitely a BIG BOY!! my gosh. His ship form or whatever reminds me of the movie aliens, where the face huggers are coming out of those huge eggs. And that figure reminds me of those eggs! Also can't wait for the stream!!!

[@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

[@Mushroom_Man]

I do hope to see more transformers mainline reviews from jobby, he always has such a blast with em

[@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

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?

I'd personally love to see more mainline reviews from you.

Either way, keep up the good work.

Yknow, holding it up in ship mode for the size comparison reminded me of something, the Psycho Gundam. Their ship modes look kinda similar, they transform into robots, and are both larger than their average Gundam and Transformer.

Came back to this review in anticipation of the Nemesis which is heavily rumored to be coming later this year and possibly announced this month

[@zente3003]

It will be very hilarious if one day Jobby brings all his Optimuses together for one big review and he brings the small fella from this one.(Also the way the mini figure is placed inside the ark really reminds of a headmaster.)

[@dhavezer0]

Nice work as always Jobby! Those ratchet joints sounded like firecrackers 😆

[@Squiddlewheel]

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.

[@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.
