Correct me if I'm wrong, but the main page article didn't include many of the pictures from the original source, right? As it's Instagram, many people can't access that site fully to see the actual pictures, so isn't it a good idea to repost them at the main article?

Here are (most?) of the missing images, plus some new official toy photos and a video.

The embedded Instagram posts should have little arrow buttons to scroll through all the images. I am not logged in to Instagram but it works fine for me.

It doesn't seem to work in private windows though.

Hats off to the designers.

The Ark looks terrible in comparison with all the missing panels.

Wild since this presumably will cost roughly the same, is larger, and has a much more coherent ship mode.

Nobody has to be logged in to Instagram to view it.

So the weird posture and awkward proportions were there from the start. You think they'd have started with a normal body type or something.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I guess they know the Ark was a boring bot, and they overcorrected.

I'm happy with this though.

I wouldn't say the Ark looks "terrible", but it is pretty crazy how clean they got her ship-mode to be compared to all the Ark's gaps. I wonder if part of that is because of the complaints about the Ark that they decided to up their game?

Why? They said in the write-up that it was already going to be a challenge because of the ship's design and it encouraged them to make her have that sort of corrupt, crone-like posture. I think it's pretty cool and a nice counterpoint to the Ark.

Okay, with a shot like that, they need to release some sort of connectors to bridge the two together.

Very roughly. About a $20 difference, from what I can find.

Clear purple ones.

Liking Nemesis' ship mode, but that's about it, but holy crap the Ark looks horrible to me now.

I'll be waiting for her to hit around $100 before I pick her up.

 

[Sciflyer]

IMO, The Ark isn't so much horrible as it is just underwhelming for what it is (and how much it initially cost!). It looks okayish in ship mode, which is the "underwhelming" part to me, because they really should have focused on that mode over everything else. But they clearly tightened things up aesthetically on Nemesis' ship mode, so I can't be too mad at them.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

They definitely upped their game. These two ships are not in the same league. Of course it's not a 1 to 1 comparison since Ark comes with a smaller bot and Nemesis doesn't. Nemesis didn't have to share any of its budget. But it does show.

 

[Lobjob]

Yeah, any misgivings that I had with the Ark don't exist on the Nemesis. For one, the Ark really needed all of its back thrusters. Like, its still cool but its not jump off the screen cool like Nemesis, Origins Bumblebee and Jazz, where the vehicle modes are clearly the stars of the show.

 

[Sabrblade]

Those giant holes on the side of the Ark were, and still are, very unsightly.

The DNA Design upgrade kit attempted to cover them, but not very securely.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I don't know what DNA will do for Nemesis. They might have to sit this one out.

 

[Superomegaprime]

I got some different parts for my Ark that wasn't DNA and that got moving guns, thou you still need to remove the panels for robot mode, they stay in place quite nicely

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

I don't know what DNA will do for Nemesis. They might have to sit this one out.

Whether we want it or not, my guess is:
- Transparent purple docking tubes.
- Articulated hands.
- Something to recreate the underwater base.
- Purple space gryphon.
- Gap fillers.
- A pointlessly huge weapon (like a huge transparent purple sword that can be made by combining the gryphon/underwater base/docking tubes, etc).

Then Toyhax will simply release a roll of purple tape so we can mummify the whole thing in "details", for the grand price of an extra 40 quid.

Sounds about right... I do still buy from Toyhax once in a blue moon, but this kind of thing is a large part of why I seldom do.

The Ark makes a good case for stickers. It's supposed to be this big huge thing but the flat orange hides a lot of details help make it look big. You can make those details more explicit with stickers, and also give it more windows and stuff.

It's like if you had a USS Enterprise with no windows; it just doesn't look quite right. Though, granted, that physical model was like 2-6 feet long depending on which model they used, so way more room for details.

My biggest issue with Toyhax is they give you way too many stickers. Give me like half of the stickers at half the price and we'd be golden.
