Now this is a combination for Optimus Prime!

@Puulis Ай бұрын

As much of a fan of Armada and inspired designs as I am, sliders and spindly linkages (especially 6dof linkages like here for the cockpit) are some of my biggest pet peeves in transforming robot engineering. I find they make for fiddly and unsatisfying conversions. FH always seems to use an excessive amount of both, which actually had me sell Naval Commander. Seeing Crossload and Sky Flame continue the trend has me glad I did, because I can just tell from the video I wouldn't find them fun to handle. Really hoping to see HasTak continue their take and attempt the other two designs in the set. Seeing Tidal Wave come out for Megatron gives me hope.

That’s fair. I think Sky Flame does a pretty good job of it, it’s not nearly as fiddly in actual play as it may come across trying to transform on video. But I also would really like to see modern official takes come out as well.

Here's hoping they make a Spacewarp out of this!

How secure is Sky Flame's upper body in robot mode? I noticed that in your and Emgo's review of him, it has a tendency to collapse...

@peaugh Ай бұрын

Once you get it all locked together it's pretty secure, and it's easier to lock it all when not transforming from behind a camera. It CAN be easy to collapse the hips up into the body if you grab it oddly while posing in robot mode, but it doesn't collapse under its own weight or anything, you'd have to do it intentionally.

Would you believe the batteries in my Armada Jetfire still work since I got him in 2003? I wonder when they'll announce official remakes of Jetfire and Overload.

@peaugh Ай бұрын

That’s awesome, but make sure to check them for corrosion from time to time. I hope we get Overload and Jetfire in Legacy as well.

@Scerttle Ай бұрын

The combined legs are way better proportioned than if they just did a thigh extension. They could have just had the thighs extend and call it a day, but they went and had a shin extension instead. That's really clever.

@peaugh Ай бұрын

Yeah, I was impressed when I got it all done correctly.

Still waiting on an Official Armada Jetfire.......

@Matthew_T_Reddy Ай бұрын

The Armada Optimus Prime Reissue has me optimistic that he or overload could be announced soon. I'd imagine they would make him leader class

@ZX-Gear Ай бұрын

@Matthew_T_Reddy Yeah. Would be a sizable Leader Class unlike some modern attempts like the new SS86 Springer or Soundwave.

@Matthew_T_Reddy Ай бұрын

@ZX-Gear I actually wouldn't be surprised if a third party releases a compatible Jetfire or Overload if Hasbro doesn't

@pikarangerautobot9780 Ай бұрын

Me too

@Puulis Ай бұрын

I'd expect they'd need at least a Leader+ budget. At least Jetfire since he'll need to support Optimus and Overload. I could see them doing a Commander class with pack-in minicons. Maybe Jetfire, comettor and one of the weapon sets?

If they do an astrotrain repaint I'll buy it to have a better shattered glass astrotrain.

@peaugh Ай бұрын

Oh yeah, that would be a neat repaint!

@NerdyTransformed Ай бұрын

I would absolutely buy this just for an SG Astrotrain

Just realized you forgot to extend the legs my skyflame just came in 2 days ago and I think he’s my favorite look wise

@NerdyTransformed Ай бұрын

The nosecone not tabbing in anywhere in combined mode is disappointing

@DarkWickedGamer Ай бұрын

Great review as always peaugh Good to know what to do with the "nose tone" at 11:31 :P

@peaugh Ай бұрын

Yeah, talking while focusing on something else can get twisty.

@DarkWickedGamer Ай бұрын

I know that you mean :) that was the only time you said tone instead of cone.. so atleast it was just one time thing :)

@MrMortombachman Ай бұрын

Looks pretty good in super mode. Can't get over how rough primes torso looks in regular mode though. Wish they would've just modeled after his look in the ps2 game. Think the legacy looks better there.

@peaugh Ай бұрын

Yeah, that's fair.

@AdamusPrime24 Ай бұрын

Awesome ^^ I only have the Legacy Armada Prime, so hoping for Armada Skyfire to give him the space pants! XD Also, if you have both sets of legs, I want to see if you can make a 'Centaur Prime' XD

@peaugh Ай бұрын

I can't see a way to do it with the Fans Hobby versions, but maybe someone will figure it out.

@AdamusPrime24 Ай бұрын

@@peaugh Maybe the jet wing flanks can angle enough in a way for an implied connection...? XD
