There's an old meme comic about the game God Hand whose last panels are the player reacting to the boss fight against Demon Elvis with "FUCK YES! YOU ARE THE BEST BOSS EVER!" and Tidal Wave's boss fight has that exact same energy.
"You've got to destroy him. Density scans reveal his body is heavily armoured but his head is vulnerable. His height will make it difficult to attack him. Suggest you manoeuvre into optimal weapon range."
Take cover Autobot it's Tidal wave you got to destroy him . He's body is heavily armored but the head looks like it could be his weak spot so try your best to shoot for the head and then avoid the missile attack that Tidal waves fires to attack you.
I've never owned a copy of Transformers for PS2 nor a PS2, so, I've seen a gameplay in which we see how the boss is defeated, so, Tidal Wave might have one of the most epic boss battle themes in videogame history, but the boss is a real hassle to defeat; he is basically the DJ Octavio of the Transformers.
I remember running for my life all over the place cause my shots were too short Ranged. Then I learned about the sniper minicon and it made all the difference.
If you kite him all the way around to the pillar of rocks opposite his spawn (I think where you get the glide minicon, been a while), you can get him to A) punch you and B) wag his finger at you. It's the only spot where you can get him close enough to you.
