This review is from: Transformers Armada Tidal Wave with Ramjet Mini-con (Toy)

This Decepticon is just plain GREAT! This figure starts out as the Dark Fleet- three oceanic combat vehicles. They are pretty cool as such. The Mini-con, Ramjet, can make gun turrets on one of the vehicles turn, and Ramjet fits nicely inside a small storage space on the aircraft carrier. The three Dark Fleet vehicles combine to form one big ship. This ship looks awesome and is mostly sturdy (some joints are a little weak but no big problem). Now you can transform the ship into Tidal Wave, a huge Decepticon. His arms are very poseable, and he is a very very cool looking robot. The joints that are a little loose as a ship are wonderfully tight as a robot. His legs don't bend at the knees and his head doesn't turn, and even though his hands are poseable, he can't hold the starsaber, requiem blaster, or skyboom shield. Still, I can't recommend this figure enough. I think he's my favorite Armada toy so far. Plus, as Dark Fleet, the three vehicles can be attached to Megatron/Galvatron as armor and weapons. Two thumbs way, way up for Tidal Wave! His Mini-con Ramjet is not too bad, but not the best either. I'm pretty neutral on this; but no fears- Ramjet does not distract from the awesome nature of Tidal Wave!

This review is from: Transformers Armada Tidal Wave with Ramjet Mini-con (Toy)

Just got this toy from ToysRus at Broadway. He kicks serious ro-butt! The first thing you'll notice about Tidal Wave are the colors. They're way off. No, let's do that again. They're --- WAY OFF! This is extremely disappointing. Millions of fans feel that our friends at Hasbro let us down. But hear this gals and pals: Consider Tidal Wave a Powerlinx version! I feel Tidal Wave deserves a Powerlinx mode and this one's perfect. If you want the show accurate version, just buy the Japanese one. That's what I did. Okay, on to the review. Tidal Wave may appear small in his box but when all three vehicles are merged, this guy outrivals the Decepticons in length on the literal side! It's bad that he's not electronic but he has plenty of room for Mini-Con battle jets. I prefer to attach the Dark Saver Team and the Night Attack. In vehicle mode, Tidal Wave has 12 wheels and rolls smoothly. The quad cannons work well as does the runway compartment designed to store Ramjet who is a miniature masterpiece! He's so tiny and cute as an evil hamster!

Transforming Megatron's right-hand man to robot mode is simple. In this mode, he towers over everyone except Super Optimus. Tidal Wave can move his legs sideways like Megatron. He's got great poseability in his arms and his head is huge and mean. The colors look fantastic --- a nice touch of flavor.

The Armada show doesn't have a name for Megatron and Tidal Wave's fusion but I do. I call it --- Mega Wave or Tidal Megatron! And when I merge Galvatron with Tidal Wave, he becomes --- Galva Wave! The combined mode is very bulky but nonetheless awesome! This is the very first time Megatron has been capable of merging with someone! Maybe in Energon, Scorponok will fuse with Megs and be called Scorpatron.

Overall, Tidal Wave is a must buy. This dude is in my book as one of the top 5 Armada bots. Get him while ya still can!

This one is great!In my opinion it the best armada toy in the whole line!It is even better than Jetfire in my opinion!But I hate those missles cuz they always seem to pop out when you transform him.Overall I think the japinese version is better because its colors arent so off and it has lights and sounds.But trust me this one is awesome to!Anyway I give this toy an A+.Highly recommended.Okay one last thing.............BUY IT!You wont be dissapointed!
