"It's Optimus Prime! And he's twelve feet tall!"
"Wait, real-world height, or toy-universe scale?"
"Real-world."
"Scrap."
NEMESIS DOES.
What Arkannot.
Every time I see those little jets, I get flashbacks to the Thunder Jets fruit snacks commercials.
What little jets?
You know, this is cool and all, but I would rather just get a titan playset of the nemesis than having it transform into a weird looking robot.
A playset scaled with the main-line figures in mind would be great! Of course, I'd probably have to rent out some warehouse space to store it at that scale.
Yeah, I don't really value the playset idea, it would have to be so vast to be good it'll never happen.
Also the shape of the Nemesis would inevitably mean a fairly rubbish playset.

I am just saying that its been a while since we had a good useful playset. The Nemesis would have been a good way of doing that since its just remembered for being a space ship.A playset scaled with the main-line figures in mind would be great!

It doesn't have to be in scale. They could have just had a top section that opens up to reveal a bridge. Maybe a little jail cell in the back, and a couple of pop out turret spots for your figures to sit in.
I know that is just a pipedream, but it would have been cool to me to get.
I do appreciate what you're asking for Predaking, I love playsets. With Transformers and GI Joe, I've always built my own playsets. I remember back in the year 2000, I build a play set with my brother-in-law down in my in-laws basesment that took up a whole spare bedroom. I'll have to dig up my old photographs of that and scan them in digitally so I can share them with you guys. It was basically a Decepticon city.
Yeah, I am firmly in the "wish they had been playsets" camp re: both The Ark and this Nemesis release. Throwing the engineering and budget into something that splits open and becomes a command center, bridge, general hangout area, etc. would've been far more appealing to me than "by God, we've gotta make 'em transform above all else."
As it is, I've willingly agreed to pay the cost of admission for half of the functionality. I don't have any desire to ever display either Titan figure in their robot modes, much less transform them. But hey, if this is what it takes to get actual toys of both ships, then fine. I just wish that the current team could have had the courage/freedom/ability to do something a little different, especially at the current price point.

I'm definitely on team pro playset. I never have and probably never will have the ark as a robot that never existed. Same with nemesis. But give me a ship that scales with minitoys but could also be folded open like castle grayskull with a command center then we're talking.
The ark half ass does this with the teletraan that also inexplicably is a robot, but I see no such feature on nemesis. Which frankly seems a bit light on add ons compared to the ark.

Perhaps it's a case of Titan-sized shrinkflation? I was a little puzzled with the decision not to include another transforming figure, but I fear that this might be the cost of doing business in 2023.
I'm assuming her hand guns ate the extras budget, but I said the same thing about Sparkdrinker and Metroplex
And, by extension of other realities, Trypticon, etc.
