Titans are always fun. Hile they end up doing characters like ROTB and Gamer Edition DOTM Stratosohere. Speaking of ROTB, it's now a year old.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I can’t believe it’s been a year already! 😯

[@TeamTrainWreck]

Legit amazing! Hopefully upgrade kit designers are watching and listening in. We need an upgrade kit that fixes the gap in his back, gives him poseable fingers, adds the aircraft carrier elevator back into the right shoulder and a ramjet minicon. Fixes for the loose connections on the land-to-sea troop transport vehicle(his legs) would also be appreciated.

[@LiamDyC]

I don't think Tidal Wave had Ramjet in the anime

[@TeamTrainWreck]

@@LiamDyCHe didn’t, you’re totally right- but Ramjet was still a critical part of the Tidal Wave experience. Maybe if they do a ‘Gamer Edition’ release of him in Hasbro colors, they can include him as an option?

[@chrisjones5949]

We can probably safely assume DNA or someone similar will be working on this soon, if they aren't already.

[@dragonfable66]

For the aircraft elevator in the carrier tho I don’t think it’s feasible without a full replacement of the upper arm segment

@@PrimeVsPrime you’re welcome, your hard work has definitely payed off 🙂

[@migatron1]

Love the camera work in this vid. You need to check your higher frequencies for the audio imo because when you speak the S and X is coming out ear piercingly high pitched

[@Kraiglyndor]

It’s a shame how many features were removed from the original. Aside from the missing Ramjet the legs on the troop transport (legs, specifically where Megatron’s feet are) don’t open up to reveal seating and the spring loaded missiles are gone (good riddance). The transformation shown doesn’t work while combined anymore, either. The original let you keep the arms attached to the body and let them snap together when they met over the head (which collapsed halfway into the body for clearance) and the legs, or rather lower body, were one piece. If you were to look at 10:03 the crotch area not covered by the chest plate was where it clipped into the body. For transformation you rotated the hips 180, spread the legs into a split, and rotated them so they were facing forwards with the inner thighs upwards and ready to collapse, storing the thighs in the troop transport for dark fleet mode and becoming scaffolding in combined mode. I also have problems with how they made the arms look compared to the original. The original aircraft carrier was more narrow in the front instead of rectangular and the thumbs were thinner so when they combined it looked like it would cut through water. The two guns should also have been attached to the fingers and rotate to become a single combined cannon. All in all, I think removing Ramjet in spite of other titans having companions, having the mini ships leave gaps and being unable to combine with each other, and a worse transformation leave me disappointed. I still think it’s extremely cool, but I definitely came into this review with too high of expectations.

Would simply loosening the screws on the knees help prevent the issues with the ratchet joints? I really don't feel comfortable with the idea of cutting springs or other components and risk creating other issues

That is a really good question, unfortunately not tho. Due to how the shin panel clips in, it combines both halves of the leg and prevents them from expanding 😭

maybe lubricating the ratchet coukd also help. the old reissue god ginrai had spring related issue in the hips, the springs were very heavy duty meaning the hips were very tight to move into base mode, the solution was to open up the mechanism and apply some oil, prevented the ratchet teeth grinding.
