I would absolutely love an Armada Sideways figure. Not only was he a pivotal character to the story, his is also the Armada toy I played to destruction as a little girl. Armada Wheeljack (aka Not!Sideswipe lol) would be awesome as well, just because I really like his colors and that scarred over Autobadge. Could probably get away with a minor retool of Sideswipe so it wouldn't even be too hard.

The presence of ratchets in a leader class figure gives me hope that they will do a Legacy Tidal Wave. Usually when a figure has ratcheted knees, they're supposed to help support a heavy weight of some kind. But on a figure like Megatron, he doesn't really have any substantial weight above the knees to warrant ratchets pointless unless they plan to combine him with Tidal Wave down the line.

@nelomalkevain4129 Жыл бұрын

Ok Conspiracy theory time. I think we will get minicons but the catch is instead of having ports they will have pegs, this is because all the armada figures so far have ports where the minicon pegs used to be (Starscream's fore arms, Megatron's arms, shoulders and back of the tank turret). Also if you think about it it makes more sense for the toyline since you could plug the minicons into ANY figure not just the armada. Btw I know people want a minicon star saber the most but honestly I want Leader 1 the most, Armada Megatron feels incomplete without the little guy especially since he's also a target master and completes his "chest cannon mode"

Titan would be too large to accommodate a leader class Megatron. Tidal Wave needs to be Commander Class, then repainted into Broadside.

@TheDaxter11 Жыл бұрын

@@cruller11 Commander Class doesn't do Tidal Wave justice. In the show he was often depicted way bigger than his combine gimmick would really allow for and in the game he's huge, and given that he transforms into a Decepticon flying aircraft carrier, the size makes sense. The only other thing they could do is release 2 versions, a leader (I've seen some people say commander would be too big for the gimmick cause the weight would make Megs unbalanced or at least barely able to pose) AND a Titan, the Titan could be game colours while the leader would be show colours. Also Broadside would probably do better as its own figure than a repaint, he looks way different and, if memory serves, is a triple changer.

Seeing as most of original Armada Megatron toys I see are with broken horns, I can see the value in the Legacy's horns being plug-ins. As for what I would like to see, Jetfire is a no-brainer. Though as far as Unicron Trilogy goes, I would love to see Energon Galvatron. Definitive design for me.

@Sleesus Жыл бұрын

the original armada megatron's horns were plug ins as well. There was a pinching claw/battle damage gimmick to them. You're more than likely not seeing broken horns but just missing ones. EDIT: Mildly concerned about these new ones being soft plastic compared to the hard plastic of the original because of what's happened to other figures that have softer plastic plug in parts.

The reason why the cannon doesn't spin 360° has nothing to do with the transformation process... What happens is that Hasbro avoided for the cannon to adopt a compromised position over the crotch when the turret is placed in the front of the robot in order to avoid memes and a possible complaint from parents.
