Honestly kind of cool that they finally turned the most popular ships in the franchise into a character, I mean they already made Trypticon the Nemesis!
@@malcomalexander9437 Was about to say that. I don't think he was even an "Ark." I think he was just a regular maintenance ship that space bridge repair teams use. They just drew him to look like the Ark for reference.
I thought in one of the comic books they had the Ark transform? Maybe it was a spin-off comic? But I swear in one of them the Ark had a robot transformation form? And it is weird they had Trypticon as The Nemesis and not the Ark in the original series. But I guess they thought Metroplex was a cooler idea back then since he a few different transformations.
That is so cool that they have a hidden command deck with extras... Not only d you get a teeny tiny Optimus Prime, you get Mainframe, with a full robot mode (Which is surprisingly decent!) you also get Teletraan 1, the Golden Discs, and even a Sky Spy satellite!
I've taken to calling him Protoplex. He's going to act as an early version of Metroplex for my Collection. Especially since I ascribe to the idea that the Nemesis=Trypticon.
Absolutely lovely figure. Great ship mode and love how his robot mode is just like 'The Last Autobot'. Fantastic to see the action master (and computer nerd) 'Mainframe' being used for Teletraan 1. I'm sure Prime is thrilled to have another giant minion to protect his pizza bagels! :)
I love the idea of turning the Autobots' transport to Earth into a colossal robot. I wanna collect this mofo. I'd definitely wanna give him his own name, though.
Well then this figure just makes kingdom worse. I thought it was bad cuz of the ark now the ark figure doesn’t have moving fingers like combiner wars devastator. This is the end of the world.
First time being early for an emgo review. Just opened this guy up the other day. My first ever titan class, love him. His ratchets are so freaking loud. I have trouble tabbing everything nicely back into ship mode so that's a bit of a struggle.
THAT INTRO BRINGS BACK SO MUCH NOSTALGIA! A classic emgo into where all Mascot wanted was a bodyguard. I forgot what videos they were but I know I'll find them.
I'm hopefully that Hasbro will do a Titan version of The Nemesis...but the Kingdom The Ark has to sell beyond what Hasbro's number crunchers have calculated first.
But the Némesis ship of the decepticon's is trypticon so will we'll have a new trypticon well if trypticon transforms in the series to fight the ark bot Trypticon : another titan finally the worthy opponent our battle will be legendary
I also think teletran should be bigger so normal figures fit with it collectors are probably gonna be the main people getting the ark and they probably collect the normal size

Hey Emgo, I just found and Bought this Bad Boy at my Target in South Philly, they had 3 on the shelf. Lucky I grabbed one when I did. Freakin Sweet!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 Keep up the Great reviews!😎
I'm a little surprised that there hasn't been Micro Machines Transformers for the BIIIIG bots yet. Just little things to drive about in city mode or ship mode, In this case.
The Command Center almost counts as a third mode and the hybrid mode reminds me to some mechs from Gundam specialized to fight in space so they don't need legs.
No Ratchet joint ankles, but the Ark has a Sideswipe ankle on the left and a Sunstreaker ankle on the right. He has an Ironhide joint at the neck as well. 😃
@Ethanthe prime12 I think the ark is the WFC Version of him and combined with Animated Omega Supreme. Since in Animated; The ark was a Cybertronian aka Omega Supreme. Just stuck in Ship Mode.
@Ethanthe prime12 In Animated yes but for kingdom. I don't think it's omega. If it was then it's head would be a modified Omega Supreme head. But they chose to use The Last Autobot's Head.
Emgo is soo close to 500K subs! You deserve being the #1 subbed TF reviewer on all of TH-cam. And no ShartimusPrime does not count, he should change his name to MarvelmusPrime. He is no TF reviewer. So Emgo is currently the #1 subbed.
I would love to see some gunpla customizer work on this toy. Even just panel lining would change the look drastically. But also something could be done with those turrets and the little Optimus could get a paint job.
I know this vid is old, but just needed to say Emgo thanks for being awesome, and having vids like this. Just pulled my Ark out of the back of my collection and this helped so much to put it back into alt mode. You rock (from a Transformers fan trying not to grow old in his 40s) 🤘😂
Emgo: about to do the big ol bloosh The neighbors around him within a 70 mile radius: “it’s that time again… hold the pictures against the wall everyone.”
So every Transformer ship is a Titan now, huh? Not that I'm saying it's a bad thing, but in Earthrise the Nemesis was a bot-built ship, not a titan so... Maybe I'm missing out on something here.
@@matiasmarcelotoledop I mean if you just want it to look 'omega-ish' sure.. but if you want it to look like not just the ark with a paintjob.. harder, no?
@@accywacky2699 Omega-ish is good enough. Like Siege Barricade. It’s not a flawless version of movie Barricade, it’s a nice G1 inspired version. That could work well with Ark Omega
I just picked up this figure today at Target. Just randomly went up and down the toy aisles looking for carded Hot Wheels initially, but then I saw one of these on the shelf, and snapped it up instead. It set me back just over $180, but it was worth it!
All that ratchety goodness!! Makes me think of a slower and louder version of the G1 transformation sound on the show. I wouldnt doubt that's what it's based on. Great review. Wish they would've articulated his fingers but still amazing figure.
The recessed spaces under the barrels on the turrets makes it look like you can push them down or something for a slightly smoother look for robot mode, and it is triggering me that it seems you can't.
With Titan class being a thing ,we now have Titan class cities, ships (as in the ark) combiners , we even have a planet . How about a Titan class city combiner . Five cities combine to form one huge robot .
This takes me back to the heyday of playsets for toy lines, which never happened for transformers but should have. I get Castle Graysull/GoBot Command Center vibes and I dig it. I love the nods to both the G1 cartoon and the Marvel comic in this toy. I'll finally have a Teletran-1 for my bots, and the Ark's head is totally the Last Autobot from US issues 79 and 80 of the original comics. That alone makes me want this. And then I can spend hours panel lining all those sculpted details so he pops.
I love how his head is based on the Autobot symbol, and a nod to the Last Autobot from the classic comics as well. Looks like he scales pretty good with the other Titans. Being taller than Devy but shorter than Metro, and about equal with Scorponok and Trypticon (who's technically Metro sized but being dino leans forward)
All the ratchets in the robot mode are great, but the legs won't hold many poses with such limited ankle tilt. A handheld weapon would have been nice so he could bloosh from somewhere other than his shins.
We need more quadruple BLOOOOOOOOSHes! Though if you were to get your hands on that upcoming J. Balvintron, you can add some rainbow blooshing for even more power!
EmGo, I want to personally thank you for doing your review of Kingdom The Ark! Why? I just greatly appreciate someone reviewing a Transformers Titan, who knows what they're doing. One or more other so-called reviewers didn't know what they were doing to where they didn't know how to move the ratchet joints.
I hope the Nemesis become it own robot/character too, not just be Trypticon. Just have to wait and see. Also look forward to more Kingdom with the new deluxes and Studio Series with the G1 and Movies new figures too.
Definitely a good one by Hasbro & i can see this becoming a rare item cuz the ark was never made a toy back in the 80's so to have a cool figure now ( with a triple changing teletran 1 ) is exclusive to me 💪🏾💯💯💯
Little bit of trivia in the transformers animated cartoon the Ark was Omega Supreme and the whole reason ratchet was on the Ark in the first place was to try and reactivate him
Of course, now I'm just waiting for a blue-and-gold repaint into The Last Autobot, because I'm sure Hasbro will do that for us G1 Marvel fans (I know, I know, we should count ourselves lucky were getting toy/Marvel Galvatron). Hey, maybe Toyhax will do a conversion sticker set, that'll do.
Being a massive space nerd, seeing those Discs was awesome, i believe those are modeled after real golden records we put on Voyager when we launched it so that anyone who came across it, be they Alien or Man in the distant future, they would be able to read it and understand parts of human culture and what the Earth is like. I was not expecting to see those in a Transformers toy of all things. Such an awesome thing to see.
Love the reviews but really love the size comparison to other titans. etc. to my that's the breaking point, if its to small I wont buy it. I'm glad I bought this. subscribed!
And now that I have one in hand, solid figure. Good sculpt. But he just seems to be missing...playset ability. And it really would have been nice if the turrets would be able to rotate. Otherwise solid figure.
The Golden record was sent into space 8/1977, which has the sounds of earth such as rain,fire,animals, people and also some songs from various artists. So it’s a nod to science so it’s cool that it was added to the Ark, very dope.
I used to think the smaller bot in this set was a completely new character but it wasn't until the official images of his robot mode appeared that i realised he WASN'T a new character. It's just that Mainframe is a pretty obscure character since he was a G1 Action Master. It wasn't until he made small appearances in Animated that i came to recognise him. He was also aboard the Lost Light though didn't do anything relevant, aside from report to Rodimus about the quantum jump mishap MTMTE began with. He was also amongst the mutineers. And now he's a glorified accessory for the Ark.
Thanks EmGo, i just ordered mine. I do feel they could have put some more effort into this. It cones across as very much something of today's Transformers Stuff where they don't have to adapt something that is long standing.
I find it weird just calling him Ark. yes, he is the Ark, but I feel like the robot deserves his own name, kinda like how the aligned continuity Nemesis is Trypticon. Since his head is based on The Last Autobot, and said autobot’s name is Autonomous Maximus in certain continuities, I decided that the robot’s name is Autonomous Maximus.
If the box art is any indication of current and potentially upcoming toys.. I would be happy to see the Decepticon counterpart to the Ark.. I don't know what the Decepticon starship is called? But, the one we see in G1 cartoon pilot episode chasing the Ark and on the top of the Ark box. This one is cool. Will likely keep in Ark mode as that's what we mostly, if only, ever have seen. I think it could have been a little flatter. It's a little bulbous or fatter than I recall it being. And, I wished the sides towards the back didn't have the hallow cutout. But, overall a very cool addition to the TF toy lineup.
I was thinking, Ark when just the nose panel is down and his head exposed, he looks very similar to Deep Thought from the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV show back in the 80s, 81 to be exact in terms of year
You know, I just realize this guy reminds me a lot of mata nui from bionicle . I knew the last autobot inspiration right away but there was this other thing It reminded me off but couldnt put my finger on what it was until now.
Honestly kind of cool that they finally turned the most popular ships in the franchise into a character, I mean they already made Trypticon the Nemesis!

There is nothing I want more from Hasbro than a retool of this guy so we can finally get a toy for Transformers: Animated Omega Supreme.
The Ark is like a giant Autobot beast!
He can step on any Decepticon combiner!
I used to think the smaller bot in this set was a completely new character but it wasn't until the official images of his robot mode appeared that i realised he WASN'T a new character.
It's just that Mainframe is a pretty obscure character since he was a G1 Action Master.
It wasn't until he made small appearances in Animated that i came to recognise him.
He was also aboard the Lost Light though didn't do anything relevant, aside from report to Rodimus about the quantum jump mishap MTMTE began with. He was also amongst the mutineers.
And now he's a glorified accessory for the Ark.
Thanks EmGo, i just ordered mine. I do feel they could have put some more effort into this. It cones across as very much something of today's Transformers Stuff where they don't have to adapt something that is long standing.
The last autobot's (and so the Ark's) face are based on the Autobot symbol
I find it weird just calling him Ark. yes, he is the Ark, but I feel like the robot deserves his own name, kinda like how the aligned continuity Nemesis is Trypticon. Since his head is based on The Last Autobot, and said autobot’s name is Autonomous Maximus in certain continuities, I decided that the robot’s name is Autonomous Maximus.
The paint chipping can be fixed by doing a little paint touching up
If the box art is any indication of current and potentially upcoming toys.. I would be happy to see the Decepticon counterpart to the Ark.. I don't know what the Decepticon starship is called? But, the one we see in G1 cartoon pilot episode chasing the Ark and on the top of the Ark box.
This one is cool. Will likely keep in Ark mode as that's what we mostly, if only, ever have seen. I think it could have been a little flatter. It's a little bulbous or fatter than I recall it being. And, I wished the sides towards the back didn't have the hallow cutout. But, overall a very cool addition to the TF toy lineup.
Seriously, no G1 size comparison !!! I always watch your videos because of that. I will love to see the Ark with the G1 minicars.
Wouldnt be surprised if hasbro slightly retooled this for a tidal wave figure, would be veru reminiscent of the energy/armada figure
I was thinking, Ark when just the nose panel is down and his head exposed, he looks very similar to Deep Thought from the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV show back in the 80s, 81 to be exact in terms of year
You know, I just realize this guy reminds me a lot of mata nui from bionicle .
I knew the last autobot inspiration right away but there was this other thing It reminded me off but couldnt put my finger on what it was until now.
There's a sleeping titan or toa joke id make but material dried out years ago
