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!

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!

this transformer is amazing theres only 1 flaw when tidal wave goes in to robot mode the missles on the pontoons shoot out sometimes but the rest the transformer is amazing if you buy this transformer (reccomended)buy galvatron or megatron then you can combine the two so galvatron or megatron can have extra armor buy it buy it buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Likes:
1. he combines with Megatron and Galvatron
2. good price for a toy this size
3. cool looking minicon

Dislikes:
1. not very poseable.
2. kiddish style, but thats the entire armada line
3. aweful color combination, buy the japaneese version if you can

Overall:
Tital Wave aka, Shockwave is a large figure for the price that breaks down
into several pieces and combines with other figures in the line. But his lack
of poseability and bad color choice makes him not so desirable.

I give him 2.5 out of 5.

tidal wave is an amazing toy but there are some flaws 1st one is that when you transform him into robot mode his missiles shoot out and it gets annying so i just take them out but i think the rest is great oh and 2 more things i dont like the mimi con much and the colers are a bit bright on the green and purple and a bit on the grey BUT OVER ALL THE GRADE ID GIVE IT WOULD BE GRADE:A its an amazing toy you need to buy it cause it can power fuison with megatron or galvatronand it combines from 3 mid sized boats to battel ship to robot to armor (in any order) buy it buy it buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just love takeing the three mid size boats (each around the size of the robot half of the mega optimous prime).When you combine them into the big warship(the size of the full optimous prime truck) it is easy. When you change the warship into the robot the robot it is about the size of Super optimous prime. The minicon is a jet that transforms easaly. It isnt that great alont with the power (the guns on the gun boat swivin 90 degres. Whoo Hoo) Overall it is a good set.

Tidal Wave is 3 different robot ships that combine into one massive ship and then into a robot. The 3 pieces can also combine with Armada Megatron or Galvatron as armor. This is a spectacular Transformer. Big, well constructed, but a little awkward because of its size in robot mode.

I recommend this one to any Transformer lovers out there ... if you can find him in the stores :)

i like the toy alot. i wish they would have made it a little bigger like in the show , but overall a great toy.i like any transformer combiner.

Tidal Wave is amazing. It comes with 3 parts that form together to make Tidal Wave. Also this toy can combine with Megatron for extra fire power (which doesn't look that great) Overall, the paint scheme could be a little better, but the toy has great play value. I recommend it to anyone. Final Grade: B
