Ultimately for me price and lack of proper space for figures of that size plays a major factor. Like the two commander class figures I have barely fit my display case.
For me it was a combination of being decidedly underwhelmed with The Ark, running out of space for stuff in general, plus her hefty price tag combined with all the Titans before her going on HEAVY discount removing any sense of urgency in picking her up. Of course now I’m regretting it, dumb me
Idk, the proportions are all whacky and weird but not in a seemingly intentional or stylised way, there's a bunch of dangling kibble, and the robot mode feels like an afterthought.
The Nemesis ship mode looks awesome, but unlike the Ark it doesn't have any fun, unique extra flourished or features.
As cool as the figure looks. Space, availability and budget/cost mean I cant get half of the figures I want and I just don't have anywhere to keep a ton of titan class figures.
If They did a scaled down version, I'd be more tempted.
She's my first and only Titan at this point. Unless the rumors of that Titan Star Convoy are true it will probably remain that way. She's just been standing on my desk ever since I got her because I no where else to put her.
I really want her but I've already got not a lot of space for another titan, and I'll be moving to a smaller place soon. That mixed with how much titans cost means I'm probably done buying them entirely at this point. Unless they do a metroplex 2.0 or something.
Yeah does seem to be the case here too. Which is understandable bc that’s what had generally happened beforehand! We did get some discount on her eventually here I think but not rock bottom
Yep, same here. The ever-escalating cost of Titans definitely gives more than a pause (I remember when I baulked at Metroplex being 80 quid), and the fact that they do so much less than their predecessors also factors in. I mean, she’s definitely a very nice figure. But that’s all she is.
I usually tilt the chestplate and shuffle the accessories around to make her less Sideburn-y. The figure has some nice engineering, but I wish she were more of an homage to her Cyberverse self rather than the Botcon one!
My one issue is those accessories. They're completely wack. But not in the fun sort of "haha, this is so silly!", but rather the "we have these extra bits and no real idea what to do with them" kind of way.
If there were a 3rd party upgrade with a massive rifle or something, I'd 100% be on board.
I think people focus more on the Con examples bc of Tarn nowadays, whereas on the Autobot side it’s been a thing since the last days of Marvel G1. Even with The Fallen in Dreamwave, it was a little more subtle
Hear me out. At Almost $200 American, that’s more than most collectors want to pay. But…make just a space ship of her and the Autobot Ark. Non Transformering, that the top comes off and is a playset for Core Class and Smaller figs, akin to the Millenium Falcon from the 70’s. Price them 65 each. Sold
I had to choose between her or Tidal Wave, and with the ability to split into 3 vehicles plus a base mode AND the ability to upgrade Armada Megatron, Tidal Wave just seemed like more fun.
Still want her though. I have the Ark and he needs a rival.
It's super hypocritical of me, but the more human face sticker that ToyHax made really elevated the toy for me. The battlemask covering another battlemask just seemed silly... but apart from that quibble, she's possibly my favorite Titan.

A toyline full of underrated figured

Soundwave (inspiration of)
Tarn
Nemesis
Megatronus (sometimes)
Maybe more?
Bluestreak/Prowl (inspiration of the Autobot Symbol)
Vector Prime
The Last Autobot
Ark
Just saying...
Although if I got one more.... I might get Tidal Wave.
I do have like 4 nib Titans so I just need to actually hit a con and swap
200 is way too much
Still want her though. I have the Ark and he needs a rival.
(some upgrade kits to fill the gaps and replace the rubber pointy bits wouldnt be awful either)
