1:30 can we please take a minute to appreciate how fucking brilliant this shot is? the camera panning up Tidal wave's gigantic silhouette is just genius and perfectly instils intimidation in the the player.

"wHy Do PeOpLe WaNt TiDaL wAvE tO bE tItAn ClAsS?" *_This right fucking here_* is why people want Tidal Wave to be a titan class. Anything less won't do him justice.

I wasn’t mentally prepared for it

The first time I fought him as a kid, my dumb ass thought I could fly over to his shoulder and shoot him from there, boi was I wrong. This game was honestly way better than it had any right to be. I always felt so tense playing this game cuz the environments were so big that enemy's could be around any corner and they could all over power you if you weren't prepared. You could explore the map at your own pace to get more minicon powers and get so many cool abilities and then you have awesome bossfights like this. Game is a hidden gem.

I loved playing this game, this boss fight scared the hell out of me a bit, never before had I taken on such a huge enemy before!

This has got to be one of the coolest boss fights ever. There's a lot of "giant" boss enemies in games, but many of them cheap out by having them stand still, or just having you fight their upper torso. But not this one. The moment you see the dude far off in the horizon turn, and slowly march towards you at 1:46 is scary shit. Only thing I can compare it to is the bosses from Shadow of the Colossus.

Played this as a kid, had one of those “fat back” TVs. I remember loving the hell outta this game, and getting to this boss. Then as soon as he transformed and his head peaked over the mountain range, my eyes wide I prepared myself for a epic fight. Right then, the tv shit itself, the screen went dark and it made this weird clicking noise. That tv never turned back on and we never got another one to play on (we couldn’t use the main tv to play games because of screen burn). That was the last day I saw tidal wave, never got past this fight. Anything after this boss fight is and will always be a mystery to me until I get a ps2 and play it again. That will be the day 😌...

Came back to this video to celebrate the reveal of the most recent Titan Class Tidal Wave

Epic music for an epic fight

I remember my dad would always rent this game out back when we had Hollywood video instead of Star video. He always wanted to get it but didn't have it in stores nor there was any gamestops near us. Went to LA county fair and they had a game stop and the game was there. My sibs and I would always watch my dad play the game because it was entertaining. Good times😊😊😊

A massive warship was spotted outside of the mid Atlantic area where they were Decepticon forces to collect minicons. Your mission is to glide to the warship to access the hanger once you get there you'll have to proceed though the warship to get to the bridge to deactivate it but then the warship transforms into the Decepticon Tidal wave and he's body is heavily armored the only way to defeat him is to target his head and avoid his missile attack and he'll be destroyed and you'll be on your way to the next level Alaska.

its all fun and games until the level you are on literary fight you

I remember when I first played this how insane this was to me how big he was.

Horror games be like: “Only our bosses give you nightmares.” This game be like: “We added Tidal Wave as a boss.”

Can you imagine this game being remade into a trilogy spanning Armada trilogy as a whole? Even as stand alone titles, if done in thenstyle of WFC, easily could be thebbest transformers game of all time. Imagine this boss fight x the metroplex scene from fall of Cybertron.

My childhood transformers game 🔥

When I was a kid I legit turned off the game because I was so scared

For some reason I just got recommended this

0:45 i really love this load screen, what this effect called?

Optimus Vs tidal wave

Not going to lie but you have pretty good aiming. 👍

One of the best games ever made

Now I wish hasbro made a video game for legacy in which you fight Tidal wave as a boss then as you move your way up from the bottom there are less and less enemies till you reach the bridge in which there is no enemies which gives off a spooky ghost ship vibe. Then, the ship starts transforming and you run out to a near by island and have to fight Tidal Wave until a gap in his foot opens up and you run inside it and have to climb from his foot to his brain, fighting his insides and his outer guns.

So what did you use to record footage? I tried running it through an emulator and it looked like garbage

Tidal wave gave my nightmares when I was younger

Damn, still looks pretty damn good for a PS2 game.

When i play this game for the first time i think this was the final boss 💀

Miss this game

This is so cool for no reason what the hell?

Just imagine you are on a heavily modded pirate ship and you see this giant coming at you what would you do?

I remember playing it, I didnt even scare of him but I was surprised about the ship in the ocean so I tried to get on it instead of fighting the boss LOL

The sheer megaphobia he gives off

I'd love to get a titan of this guy in legacy, but I don't think it's likely, and here's why. They've already revealed the newest titan for this current wave as the Nemesis to counterpart the Ark from WFC, and I don't think they'd release another expensive figure so soon. Also, if he is titan class, he wouldn't be able to realistically combine with the leader Megatron. So if Tidal Wave does come to legacy, I think he will be commander size
