BIG Potential, BIGGER Let Down - Titan Class Ark

Fun fact about Mr. Ark here, I found him at Target while on vacation last week in Las Vegas. Which meant I had to pack this guy into my one and only backpack I had as a "personal item" on the airplane. Not an easy task.
Hope you enjoy the review!

"Pointless tokens." The golden disks... the two most important items in the G1 universe, holding the ability to completely change the fate of EVERY character. You're kidding, right?

[@papermelon]

Sure, but they don’t actually serve a purpose in the real world 😂 I know what their relevance is in the show, that doesn’t change how useless they are as an accessory to a physical transformers toy.

[@NexusProductions-rz1sv]

@@papermelon only about as useless as an Optimus coming with a Matrix or a Soundwave or starscreaming coming with a gun that looks like Megatron.

[@papermelon]

@@NexusProductions-rz1sv nope and nope lol. Soundwave and Starscream that come with a mini megatron can actually hold and use it as a weapon. And Optimus prime’s matrix packs concisely into his chest for proper storage. I don’t personally care for it, but it doesn’t get in the way and act as a throw away accessory. The discs don’t even store properly without falling out whenever you budge it. And it certainly doesn’t serve as a proper weapon.

[@S0n0fG0D]

Doesn't teletran or ark use the discs as a launcher or smtn?

[@NexusProductions-rz1sv]

@@S0n0fG0D No, Jesus.

[@pugmasterben]

The "tokens" are big items from the Beast Wars series. They're called the Golden Disks.

[@papermelon]

I know what they are, but it doesn’t make them any more fun or useful to me lol.

[@juliegrine2875]

Hasbro: releases a figure with the golden disks. Beast wars megatron: yessssss

Not just golden disks, theyre the records we sent to space to communicate to extra terrestrial life

Thank you for being honest direct and most of all short I appreciate your review and your point of view

[@isaiahbanks3888]

Cool toy

[@steveswanson6280]

I've only just discovered your channel and I'm all in. This was a fantastic review of the figure, you pointed out so many things that I feel most reviewers glossed over. Yeah ok, I'm two years late to this particular party, but I still wanted to give you props.

[@papermelon]

Haha thanks man! always a pleasant surprise getting kind comments on oldies like this video 😂

[@A.MNeverP.M]

Personally I love the inclusion of the Golden Disks, they work great in a Beast Wars display, they can fit in Kingdom Megatron's dinosaur hand and even Dinobot's claws when he makes his heroic sacrifice! Neat lil accessories and I love the Ark's whole vibe, feels like an abandoned guardian left to rot after Cybertron's golden age and I adore the reference to The Last Autobot in the head design (based on the Autobot logo itself)

[@AliceDevil7490]

I know its kinda late to comment but personally i really dont like the ship mode in terms of seeing it as the ark. Like i think it looks fine in of itself but as the ark i think its too off. Not having 5 or 7 thrusters, the mid sections not thin enough, the sides of the back section look unfinished. The color. The bot mode tends to look a lot better with clicking all the joints at least once or twice. Maybe try getting him to hold something like a rock or a bot to crush

[@mothman6171]

I have this figure and I personally love the robot mode but that’s my opinion, also great vid man just subbed 😁

[@papermelon]

Well hey more power to ya, I wish I liked it lol. I’d be happier for it.

Tokens 💀💀💀💀 2:11

[@Lofirainv2]

i know no one is going to see this 2 years after but i love this figure even tho i know its bad i love the hollow spots i love how it looks it has a charm to it and i know its TRASH TERRIBLE FIGURE! but i love it, just cuz i like it doesnt mean its good, its a bad figure in robot mode

[@needsmoretacos4807]

Lol your so young 🤣. Just teasing love your videos. Ur easily now my favorite TF reviewer now

[@papermelon]

I mean I’m 23 but hey I’ll take the compliment 😂 thanks man

[@needsmoretacos4807]

@@papermelon it's just funny when you realize your old because a 23 year old adult is so much younger than you 😅. Also I'm actually a woman. We female TF Nerds are out there 🤪

[@papermelon]

@@needsmoretacos4807 lol yeah that’s how I’m starting to feel about kids who call the original 2007 TF movie “the old transformers movie” lol. How wild is that. That’s what I call the original 1986 TF animated movie. I also call everyone man haha, not actually gender specific. Just a general phrase. Glad to have you on the channel!

[@NexusProductions-rz1sv]

"It looks like a Bionicle" With that sentence you've single handedly cancelled out any kind of criticism on the design.

[@ReyRey277]

Hasbro sheep

[@NexusProductions-rz1sv]

@@ReyRey277 Ah yes, nothing says pure Hasbro loyalty like love for the Bionicle series made by Lego which is a competing toy company. What a smart and insightful person you are, with such a witty and we'll thought out comment that totally doesn't look stupid.

[@ReyRey277]

@@NexusProductions-rz1sv Thanks! Yeah I could smell the butthurt jelly coming out of your as hoel a mile away. An insult to Hasbro Transformers probably felt like an insult to yourself! But I know you realize that your just top notch Coping. The robot mode is ugly. Right?.. Right?😀

[@papermelon]

😂😂 I figured I’d offend someone’s preference with that. He’s a transformer, not a bionicle. If I wanted figures that looked like bionicles, I’d collect bionicles. If you like that, more power to you, but I’m perfectly reasonable for wanting my transformers to look like transformers lol.

[@smittyplays04]

I just found your channel and it is honestly criminal you don’t have more views and subs. Love the content man

[@papermelon]

Haha thanks man, I appreciate the support.

[@mattv2223]

Love this video! Would you say 110 is a fair price for this figure?

[@papermelon]

Yeah that’s pretty solid. If you’re okay with how he looks in bot and ship mode, you’ll be able to deal with his other flaws okay for $110

[@dylanphilpott8698]

i really like the robot mode reminds me of the iron giant

[@HerohammerStudios]

What's the point of getting the ark if you don't care about g1 or beast wars?

[@papermelon]

Where did I say I don’t care about G1? Also, toys aren’t just for people obsessed with the source material. That’s called gatekeeping. Don’t do it lol.

[@jakeangus4405]

Damn boy he's THICK AND BY HE I MEAN THE ARK also great video

[@lazydroidproductions1087]

Hasbro? Lazy? No… never…

[@GamingZone-li7hv]

i want the ark with guns moving and with the size of wfc or planet x trypticon

[@moose5708]

They could have added the sparring bot from the animated movie.

[@amirrayyan5151]

hey whats the figure beside the one your reviewing at 3:30? Thanks

The big one is Siege Omega Supreme, the small one is Earthrise Cliffjumper :)
