But are you so excited you just can't fight it?

Actually, looking at this now it appears to be concept art. Teletraan is there, but the transform for it bottom right isn't what we see now. The ramp at the back of the ship is different too. |

Looks like there are six sockets on that bridge that the Optimus can plug into. Or... Are there five other little figures hiding somewhere to make a bridge crew?

I wonder if Mainframe was chosen in part because Mainframe made Beast Wars what it is?

I wonder if Mainframe was chosen in part because Mainframe made Beast Wars what it is? ... If that's the case then that will be the most flimsy, most terrible justification for a character choice ever. And as such I will only love it all the more more and reaffirm my commitment to buying this monstrous ridiculousness. I really am hoping that Mainframe (the figure) plugs into the Ark as discussed up-thread, though. If that bridge mode just kind of sits to the side of the Ark as a "play feature" it'll be very disappointing and cheap. I'm hopeful though that that feature is part of the reason why the robot mode torso doesn't have a more interesting transformation conversion sequence - it needs to work around the resulting chest cavity. I am, however, as in all areas of life, braced for disappointment all the same. |

Is that golden sphere on the bridge supposed to be Vector Sigma? What's that doing on the Ark?

Fans of Pushbutton are recommended Mr Marshall's Action Master themed fanzine in which he features in an AMAZING SHORT STORY. All proceeds to Mary's Meals.

Complete wasted opportunity of not having the Ark's new robot mode be a giant Pushbutton.
Imagine his awesomeness being held by New Mainframe in gun mode!

I did actually think of that when I was typing it out. All the more fitting for the robot mode name and form! you...you know who the legendary Pushbutton is don't you? |

Little droid fellow that came with the Mainframe Action Master toy.
You did read your Action Master Zine from last year didn't you?

As someone else mentioned on Twitter, it's actually missing a piece. Just look at the bottom image of the Ark, and compare the left and right sides...

The first two images are missing both kneepads/rear sides yet one, and one only, turns up on the third: |

Have they changed the headsculpt? It's hard to tell. The details look the same, but the crest looks a lot bigger on the "original" However, the angles are significantly different, which could distort the features. |

Reviewer gets right on my tits. -Ralph I felt bad, but yeah, everything he said or did was like fingers on a chalkboard! I skipped probably 80% of the "review", especially when he started yelling BS at his cameraman/ producer. The toy looks good. I like the idea of it. But there seems like a LOT of wasted opportunity. The gun turrets not being posable, for one. Where's his Titan Master? It's just flip the nose and there's his head and now he has a hoodie. I really like the Teletraan-1/ Mainframe bot, that's pretty cool. |

I did look at the gap where Mainframe fits, under the clear canopy, and think "I wonder if you can sit a Core class figure in there?"
