6:42 the side part is for the second runway that runs offset from the direction of the ship. It’s fore aircraft landing so if they mess up the landing or need to go around they don’t crash into aircraft sitting on the front of the carrier
Additionally, aircraft carriers are meant to be as spacially efficient as possible, so putting the runway at an angle and having it stick off the side a little is very useful.
That, as well as providing multiple possible directions for takeoff and landing, depending on wind direction. It's good to take off into a headwind on aircraft carriers because that can drastically reduce the runway distance needed
@jeremiahsacks2868 that's not what the deck is at a 5° angle and yes Catobar carriers the landing deck is off by 5° counterclockwise, and is there for safety above anything else
@@j0hn00err yes but also no, it has nothing to do with takeoffs, because the catapult gets aircraft to about 180 before going off the end of the carrier, yeah the fall the carrier not lift off, the 5° angle is there for multiple launch. And land for cats 1 and 2 but the angle is mainly there for safety
The pointy part on the side of the carrier is the runway where the jets will land on. The deck of an aircraft carrier is meant to be as spacially efficient as possible, so having the runway stick out a bit and exist at an angle does numbers for saving space.
I will never get over the Altantic Ocean level in Atari Transformers that is just one big arena to the Tidal Wave fight. Not only that but the little details of the ship mode is kind of awesome, such as one hallway having a window with just... a giant head. I also love that you need a specific Mini-con just to get to the ship. Plus, the boss fight itself understands scale. Tidal Wave is COLOSSAL, and he isn't locked to a specific area. He can follow you onto land, the ground quakes, he can in fact crush you under his foot. Even the cutscene in which he transforms makes you look so miniscule. It is a spectacle boss done absolute correct.
Easy repaint, definitely something bot con would have done back in the day at least. I have the original western release toy in those colors, he's only slightly taller than Megatron though.
Additionally, aircraft carriers are meant to be as spacially efficient as possible, so putting the runway at an angle and having it stick off the side a little is very useful.
6:36 It's either an elevator between the flight deck and hangar or part of the landing area of the flight deck. In this case it looks like the corner of the landing area, which is angled compared to the rest of the ship so that landing aircraft that fail to catch an arrestor wire don't crash into aircraft being launched at the front of the ship
Well yeah it is apart of the angled deck but also no it would be there to stop a boltering aircraft from slamming straight into another of the deflectors
6:30 the pointy bit is the landing strip. Old aircraft carriers (ww2 style) used to be a single long runway. In this runway palnes would both land and take off. This is do to the size of the carrier and the technology at the time. This system was limited by the fact that if an aircraft needed to land or takeoff, no other aircraft could land or take off. As such changes were made and a two runway system was implemented, the pointy part is part of the landing runway. Here is where you have the toe cables that help aircraft land. The runway in the front is the takoff one. This is where you will find the catapults that lunch the fighters. Im summarazing a lot, because there are way to many reasons why the change in layout was made (change to jets, technology, catapults, doctrine, etc)
Aircraft carriers are meant to be as spacially efficient as possible, so putting the runway at an angle and having it stick off the side a little is very useful.
I worked on EA-6B Prowlers in the U.S Navy and our squadron was attached to the USS Kitty Hawk. A U.S aircraft carrier has 4 steam powered catapults that help the aircraft reach speeds to take off. 2 catapults that come off at the very front of the ship and 2 on the "pointy part". The pointy part is also the landing area in case they miss the arresting wire they can take off again.
the pointy bit on the aircraft carrier deck is a second runway which is used as a landing strip, its angled away from the normal runway so planes can land while another is taking off at the same time. I hope that made sense.
That "pointy bit" on an air craft carrier is the end of the landing strip. Planes only take off from the steam powered catapults at the bow (front end) and only land at the stern. Something, something, safety, something, something, tailhook.
ngl, he looks amazing, but... I can't help but feel something was lost in the translation. The OG tidalwave just had so many actual play features - not just the combination and two alt modes, but an elevator for his minicon, launching missiles, and pop up benches to sit more minicons on, and it really feels like they could have integrated more in. Well, at least I'm gonna grab the Fanshobby too
Here's hoping for being a Unicorn trilogy titan he eventually gets a discount like with Cybertron Metroplex. My personal nitpick would that I whished he came with the requiem blaster and/or Leader-1 minicon, because everyone who is getting this probably owns Armada Megatron or will get the Galvatron redeco. Still if it weren't for the potential knees breakege, this is might just be the best Titan class figure since Nemesis and Black Zarak.
The pointy bit is basically just for the planes to come on and off. Sometimes they use it because it’s quicker to leave that way depending on the situation and plane
The tower thing Is the command part of the Carrier( + an airport control tower), just the same as In a battleship but to the side becase It needs as much surface space for jets as It has available
My nitpicks about him are the fact that for some of the mini ship pieces for Meg's super mode are hard to take out of the main bot. I have to use a butter knife for some. As for Meg's combined mode, the pin joints of his elbows and hips are too weak for the parts. As for the main bot, he's MASSIVE, THICK and SOLID. Same thing for the ships. So far, he's my favorite Titan after Siege Omega Supreme.
Very cool update, and nicely sized. Would definitely get on a discount as $300 CND is a lot for this guy. Original is nice for what it is and still respectively tall for being a Voyager or whatever he was back in the day. Never cared for the combining gimmick with Megatron, but it's neat how it was worked out with the smaller sections that make up the rest of Tidal Wave's robot mode.
Can’t wait for this figure to come out. I do wish you went in more depth with the base mode, but I otherwise enjoyed the review. Can’t wait to see how many minicon ports or 5mm peg holes it has.
Battle Catamaran. Also the pointy bit in the aircraft carrier is where the jets are launched with catapult. The length of the ship is used for the landings.
Amazing review i will pick him up when he goes cheaper soon and better than that thief prime Vs prime since you are a king of proper transformers figure reviews
6:32 That little pointy bit is the flight deck it's angled like that cause it's modeled off of a Carrier using the CATOBAR system meaning that Planes are launched from the catapult on the front of the ship and land towards the back with the arresting wires, the angled flight deck allowed for the carrier to have more space for aircraft on deck and allowed the ship to have a longer unobstructed runway for aircraft to land. This Navy Film about it from 1955 can explain more if you want to see it ua-cam.com/video/OKdXde0Tl-g/v-deo.html
I'm hopefully getting this guy sometime next month, along with Magmatron, as I preordered them both in April. At least, July is when TFSource _says_ it'll ship out, but Magmatron has already been pushed back once, so who knows. And I'm sure there'll be a 3rd party company somewhere that'll make a way for the mini-ships to make a robot. There's just too many people wanting that for them to ignore it.
oui toy guy if you read this first off I love your content I've been a long watcher and second off you should look into the studio series junkions I think there pretty good and I wanna hear your take
I wonder how upgrade kits will fix up on the big guy beside better hands but I hope someone makes a little core class dirge and slight improvements on the Mini version too
I honestly want one. I got the Japanese version from years back that I had a pleasure of being able to buy in box in a toyshow cause I wanted the Japanese colors and not the American one. And this big boy is an amazing update to it.
I kinda have mixed feelings about this. One side of me is like 'Hehehe PS2 game big Tidal Wave cool', but the other side is griping over the fact that this lost every Minicon gimmicks (no minicon storage in the carrier, no minicon seats in the hovercraft) and instead gained a pointless base mode (Especially that this didn't come with a Minicon/Micromaster to interact with said base unlike Omega Supreme). Also it kinda hurts that the parts for Armada Megs/Galvs' Kancolle mode can't combine to make a mini Tidal Wave. That would've been so hilarious and made sense for the mass shifting in the show.
Pretty sure the "Pointy Bit", as you described it, is part of the second runway zone that the big US Navy Supercarriers have to accommodate more flight ops at once.
Id love to get a down scaled vetsion of the Titans. I love them, but playing with them is a genuine hassel. I love Tidal Wave and would love to just fiddle with him, but cant do that because he is gonna be gargantuan, and loud
I was waiting your review to see a comparison with the original toy and you sold it.... No one is comparing it with the original toy, let's hope Toy Spotlife do it
is a dream bigger Tidal Wave. the best Titan Class toy for me because i like Tidal Wave battleship.... sad the mini armor can not made mini combine for the fun at least. i wonder they will use this mold for Titan Class broadside? nan that will never happen....since no more news for new Titan Class.
I miss Armada Prime so I skipped on Megatron for now (I might get him if he goes on clearance) but I’m definitely getting this guy to go with my Legacy star seekers
This hurts to watch. Not because it’s bad, but because I’m too poor to afford this guy and really want him :(. Well I can always wait until I can find one for a better price
For anyone that doesn't like how short Megatron is compared to Optimus when in their combined modes, Megatron's waist can extend to make him taller, which is actually what's supposed to be done for the combination with the mini dark fleet from Tidal Wave.
Forgot to trim the song at the end. For those who see that, there is nothing special after the outro lol.....just a blank screen.😂 My bad
I did the exact thing on my SS 102 prime and just deleted my video and re-edited it.
the pointy bit on aircraft carrier is to bring plains and helicopters up to the flight deck
Right, BUT... that makes the video length 12:34. Own it!
"lets combine the idiot to make the big idiot" sums up tidalwave perfectly
That awkward moment when the level you just ran through stands up and beats the shit out of you.

@@MCD10000 however the angle does benefit space and allows for more airctaft to be landed on the deck at a time
TIDAL WAVE. TIDAL WAVE
Ps: the pointy bit it where the planes land, the front is where they take off, they need more room to land

if my memory is correct, they did plan on making the Mini Dark fleet combine into a mini Tidal Wave but they ran out of budget before they could.
Guess we gotta wait on Iron Factory
@@DJPrimeAmvsor a core class based on the original idea
So they can have the mini cannons on the chest move up and down, but couldn't fit it in the budget to give the mini ships connector pegs?

I need this figure in THOSE colors. That is the Tidal Wave I grew up with.
@@joltster109 same. They probably will at some point. Count it under Gamer Edition
Easy repaint, definitely something bot con would have done back in the day at least. I have the original western release toy in those colors, he's only slightly taller than Megatron though.
@Thattoyguy, the "pointy bit" is so that aircraft carriers have more room to land, and if they dont land successfully, they can fly off to try again.
Additionally, aircraft carriers are meant to be as spacially efficient as possible, so putting the runway at an angle and having it stick off the side a little is very useful.

Im summarazing a lot, because there are way to many reasons why the change in layout was made (change to jets, technology, catapults, doctrine, etc)
If they shrunk Tidalwave's head down a bit to be more on a deluxe class scale and with a new mold, we could get an Animated Universe deluxe Highbrow.
10:33 "by Neptune beard" - thew adams
6:42 the pointy bit is the runway. The reason for the longer side, is landing
Aircraft carriers are meant to be as spacially efficient as possible, so putting the runway at an angle and having it stick off the side a little is very useful.
Yeah. It also allows for take off and landing to have less of a downtime in between

Got a cackle outta me with the One Piece reference, idk why, your brand of humor is just perfect for me
I haven't been interested in titan class figures because I have very limited shelf space, but after seeing this, I feel like I need to make space now.
4:40 the one piece is. I found that funny
Aside the knee ratchet
Looks good
Nice view
Who remembers that bossfight from the game?
If this makes it's way into my collection, i will look back at the articulation section and that symphony of ratchet joints as the reason why.
“That pointy bit on aircraft carriers” is just the corner of a diagonal runway on the top of the ship for aircraft
The tower thing Is the command part of the Carrier( + an airport control tower), just the same as In a battleship but to the side becase It needs as much surface space for jets as It has available
My nitpicks about him are the fact that for some of the mini ship pieces for Meg's super mode are hard to take out of the main bot. I have to use a butter knife for some.

the one on the back comes out easily after the first time, all you have to do is pat his back while it's facing down and it just flops out
Very cool update, and nicely sized. Would definitely get on a discount as $300 CND is a lot for this guy. Original is nice for what it is and still respectively tall for being a Voyager or whatever he was back in the day. Never cared for the combining gimmick with Megatron, but it's neat how it was worked out with the smaller sections that make up the rest of Tidal Wave's robot mode.
He was a "Supreme Class" so effectively Commander just like Optimus.
I’m wondering if Hasbro will do a slight retool and release him as Broadside, possibly on Gens Selects
Can’t wait for this figure to come out. I do wish you went in more depth with the base mode, but I otherwise enjoyed the review. Can’t wait to see how many minicon ports or 5mm peg holes it has.

Toy guy is the Titan whisperer
the best titan ever, mainly because it's solid and stable, so easy to pose.
Wanted him since childhood and I want him even more
Amazing review i will pick him up when he goes cheaper soon and better than that thief prime Vs prime since you are a king of proper transformers figure reviews

I believe the torso ship is straight up a battleship but with 2 fronts. The "pontoon" is a troop-landing craft.
6:35, it is the edge of the second runway
I really hope they do an Energon version of this guy, because I love the gaudy colours of that version compared to this
why we need a titan class FOC Broadside: it would be this, but with wheels
and a big rolling aircraft carrier type thing would be amazing
I wonder how upgrade kits will fix up on the big guy beside better hands but I hope someone makes a little core class dirge and slight improvements on the Mini version too
I bet we git a functional baby tidal wave from someone
Yay!
Glad this guy is solid, but looking forward the repaint rerelease of him in his alt color scheme more known from the video game
I would like to see a green variant like he was from energon
I cant wait to recreate the boss fight from the game
Hi
YES
I wish they included his lil jet bro but this is still cool
1:51 Tidal Wave has a very stylish mustache
Wave Tidal
I honestly want one. I got the Japanese version from years back that I had a pleasure of being able to buy in box in a toyshow cause I wanted the Japanese colors and not the American one. And this big boy is an amazing update to it.
Yes Armada!
disassemble mode reminds me of commander 86 ultra magnus and it's really funny
The little "pointy bit" is there so planes can land and take off at the same time, its more efficient
Also only non-american aircraft carriers have the ramp
I kinda have mixed feelings about this.
One side of me is like 'Hehehe PS2 game big Tidal Wave cool', but the other side is griping over the fact that this lost every Minicon gimmicks (no minicon storage in the carrier, no minicon seats in the hovercraft) and instead gained a pointless base mode (Especially that this didn't come with a Minicon/Micromaster to interact with said base unlike Omega Supreme).

There was plans to make mini tidal wave but the budget makes it scrap the concept.
BUT. pray for DNA upgrade for this one.

The part that juts off to the side of the carrier is a landing lane.
Tidalwave…tidalwave…tidalwave
I have to wait for like 2 months to get him
I dont wanna wait he looks so good
The way his combined carrier mode ends up makes me think they could potentially retool tidal wave as energon scorponok

I am tidal wave, trust me
Nice boat
Good thing fans hobby is making one
Now we need to get an energon version
Naw we don't need mirage( hopefully that's not in cybertron)
Really hope we get an Energon redeco
Semi scared Canadian almost confirms the existence of the one piece
More at eleven?
Big boy
So as you said knee problems I was out. Too much money for me to be worrying about knees and fixing them
This hurts to watch. Not because it’s bad, but because I’m too poor to afford this guy and really want him :(. Well I can always wait until I can find one for a better price
If you can rotate the knee with one hand with little leverage. I think the knee is fine.
For anyone that doesn't like how short Megatron is compared to Optimus when in their combined modes, Megatron's waist can extend to make him taller, which is actually what's supposed to be done for the combination with the mini dark fleet from Tidal Wave.
10:53 sorry but tidalwaves's carrier is a catobar carrier so it doesn't have a ramp like other styles
No blast effects for 200 is crazy
The pointy bit is part of the runway, right?
Should have been a commander, combined mode wouldn't be so half-assed. Also knees are terribly designed, they WILL break.
Head looks up
It’s super dissapointing how he can’t go from the robot to the combined alt mode like the og did. That’s a deal breaker for me
4:40 THE ONE-PIECE THE ONE-PIECE IS REAL!!
I just need them to rerelease him as the green lightning version from energon
Too expensive.
