Powet Toys Titanium

Since I’ve adopted an ostrich style head-in-the-ground approach to getting my Transformers news, I actually had no idea that the Titanium was supposed to reference die-casting. I totally dug the plastic-metal rattling sounds Optimus made when you shook him. The Ark is a little underwhelming though, as… seriously, where’d they pull the design from?

Even I know the arc isn’t supposed to look like that.

Will you only be happy if it came with the mountain around it?

I’d be happy if it looked like the Ark…

It more closely resembles the Autobot shuttles from the ’84 movie, than anything else. The ark has a very different design.

The original ark is on that toy, it’s used as the head of it, which is removable. The design was obviously taken from my repaint I did years ago http://webpages.charter.net/mrscifi/ark3.JPG

It’s a milton bradley starbird form the late 70’s early 80’s. I had an extra laying around so I thought I’d repaint it into an autobot shuttle because it had similar design elements to the movie shuttles. Hasbro must’ve seen my idea on the web or at botcon 04 in LA and liked it enough to use it. They own milton bradley so I guess they still own the rights to the starbird too.
