Armada Fans Are Eating GOOD | #transformers Legacy Armada Optimus Prime and SG Sideswipe
My only gripe is that the trailer is missing the gimmick of exploding into a ball of fire.
Im working on a 3p kit for that. right now its just a lighter and some lighter fluid.
@@thedeadpoolwhochuckles.6852add a few sparklers to the kit and I'm sold.
💀💀💀
I hope they make a jetfire for him
If they do, I will have it.
Jetfire and Overload.
Agreed
Oh eventually they will, likely same for Overload. Just a matter of when.
They’re already working on Jetfire and Overload
It seems like everyone slightly mistransforms the supermode at the waist and it bothers me SO much
The headlight sections are supposed to shift inwards and fill in those little gaps, making the whole thing flush, but it seems like EVERYONE misses that step. Even the official product photography misses it
True, it makes a massive difference in the waist with the headlights shifted in
IT HURTS SO MUCH
I was coming here to make this same comment lol.
@@JohnMontagnasame lol
Lol I missed that step too so I reshot my video and corrected it
Base robot Optimus actually has a pseudo ab crunch, you can use the shoulder joints that form his abs to make him bend forward a bit
Holy shit, I just noticed that. That's amazing and makes him look more dynamic
I really hope minicons make a proper comeback cause I grew up on Armada but I never managed to get preceptor and when I saw Armada showing up in legacy I got hopeful before remembering how micromasters flopped but now Hasbro seems to be trying again and I really wanna see minicon combiner teams like the old days
I hope they sell the Perceptor team as a deluxe or something
There’s a new Hot Shot with Jolt so I’d say minicons are back
@@troyannozaurus327 yeah I honestly like these slightly more expensive box sets of repaints, Minicons, and a small handful of other accessories. The fact is that properly engineered Minicons can’t really work into a modern deluxe budget, as shown with the extremely simplistic Targetmasters we got out of Legacy, so I think this new method is a good workaround
@@troyannozaurus327 oh dang how'd I miss that?
Never got preceptor as a kid but I've been buying all of them on eBay. Have armada complete unless you count the roll play toys. Also getting the recolors of the same mold that appear in energon and cybertron
As a kid a barely knew anything about G1, but Armada was the show that started my interest in Transformers as a whole, Megatron is really good, Hot Shot was a little bit dissapointing (still a great figure) but this Optimus is overall FANTASTIC, can wait for Jet Fire and Tidal Wave... and whatever other Armada figure release
I hope they make more minicons. Specifically the Star/Energon Saber teams.
Would they just be core classes?
@@myang12003 Idk, probably? Or whatever size class you'd classify Sideswipe/Wheeljack's minicons as.
Hey, you're meant to shift the headlights back in for the super mode- like how the headlights are in vehicle mode. It makes a big difference.
I really hope they'll do Red Alert, Cyclonus and Demolisher before they stop doing Armada stuff. We at least need the original cast in figure form before they move on from Armada.
The fact that they include wheeljacks minicon despite not even being in the show, but not even one for the commander figure is baffling
Even the powerlinx Hot Shot too came with Jolt
The waist being mistransformed in the combined mode is giving my OCD a run for its money 💀
I grew up with armada, and I hope I get that bad boy when it comes to toys r us around here
You have toys r us?
@@JetStream_Mann yeah, Europe got it different, we just don't have the stores I want. Do you know how hard it is to get a decent model kit in Poland, Warhammer minis are nearly nonexistent and gundams are scarcely available
@@polishfriend yeah, I feel like most companies prioritize the west for some reason
My first copy had an issue where the left hand of the supermode split in 2 and the screw was damaged, so i got a second copy, which had good hands but other problems. The second one's roof piece is loose and the core robot's chest doesn't wanna peg in.
All on all i'm still in love with this figure
Sounds like it aint worth the price then
@@Saiyan1229 A good copy is 100% worth the price, more than any other commander. The figure's so good that this person is able to overlook those problems- which is a testament to how great it is.
@@Saiyan1229 only a dumb ass would say that about this figure
@@Saiyan1229 despite the few issues i still think it's worth getting
@@Saiyan1229it is worth the price imo, dude probably got a lemon
I would genuinely be happy if they started selling minicons for a dollar, and it came with extra accessories for the abilities they unlocked, or even including blast effects, maybe even some with ENTIRELY new molds!!
God I hope they come out with an Overload
Rhinox's knee locks don't work on my copy either, so maybe it's a common problem
Yeah I got mine Pre-ordered from Amazon, I'll just wait for that to get shipped to me in October.
Energon toys that could actually combine with each other like in the show would be epic in my opinion.
I hate how hard it is to find this figure for a fair price nowadays.
now we wait for the obligatory nemesis prime version since he appeared on armada series
I'm loving how absolutely hyper you were for this, it's amazing to see such joy the right toy can bring.
I got this guys yesterday. I had pre-ordered it in anger back in April when Patriot Prime put it up as an affiliated link and then forgot I pre-ordered it. Cut to this month I had finally found a Motormaster for $90 picked it up got it on the weekend and was so happy then on Tuesday I received a package from Amazon I was confused and opened it to fin Armada Optimus Prime. I checked my account and that was when I realized “oh ya I pre-ordered it didn’t I.” So getting to both complete my Menasor and get a surprise Armada Prime was really awesome. I do have one complaints on my copy one of the legs hinge and peg system is tight. To where I have to apply a lot of pressure just to move it. The other one moves fine, but Transforming the legs back to it trailer mode is a scary experience that I hope loosens over time. It’s not as bad as Kingdom Megatron where I don’t want to Transformer him, but it is concurring. I will say I think the hands are fine anything more complicated and they would’ve had to make this a Haslab project and I wouldn’t have been happy about that plus it’s either visible combiner hands or a transformation that is the successor of ROTF Mixmaster
ITS 21 YEARS OLD?!?!
Just like me 😊
DNA Design have made a SS Scourge upgrade kit. He looks so good and accurate!!
It's a shame Hasbro quit with micromasters and all that right before Legacy. Idgaf about some random purple car dude, but after seeing SG Sideswipe's minicon compared to my original Armada Wheeljack's, I'd buy new Armada Minicons like they were going out of style.
Sales for the WFC Trilogy micromasters didn't sell well, thus some of them were shelf/pegwarmers. HasTak knew this and shifted to Core Class, which everyone wanted more than the micromasters. Even if the Armada minicons got updated, they don't want them to share the same fate as before.
I bet they’ll make a Powerlinx version of this considering we got Scourge/Nemesis Prime and Toxitron out of the G2 Laser Prime
I'm calling sg sideswipe armada wheeljack carjack
I think they should make a legacy six shot leader class
I love my copy of Armada optimus but on my copy sadly the right shoulder rachet joint failed. It still holds a pose but the rachet is broken somehow. Also sadly with the way the arm assembly is pinned it's hard to get at the joint to fix it. So I posed it and left it alone now.
no way! mine has the same issue, I thought I was the only one but I honestly didn't even notice at first until I was messing with it after a few transformations. Is it specifically the joint where the pauldron/shoulder connects to the body?
@@SpartanDara exactly
Legacy Blitzwing’s translucent red hulk hands look good as hands for Armada Optimus in super mode.
the funny thing ive heard "i bought a kit kat to do that"
great video as always
I hope they make someone packaged with the Bazooka(?) trio & the Shield Trio
".....PP rotation...."
1st thing comes to mind: the "Helicopter"
i just used a red gundam marker on my prime's eyes, he looks great
I feel like it would be hilarious if Energon and Armada Optimus got a dedicated mold to each of them, then Cybertron Optimus is just still the Magnus retool. It'd be like the Morrigan Darksralkers sprite joke all over again
>one fear
I bought Legacy Armada Prime 2 weeks ago and he already took the position of my fav transformer EVER
Preordered Armada Prime and I’m so ready when mines come in
We just need Jetfire, Overload, and a Sparkplug Minicon.
you forgot to fold in the front grills for combined mode!
As someone who never seen armada I can confirm at first I thought that's just a single coherent figure
I can’t wait for overload and and jetfire to be released. The legacy trailer already has a connection on the back that’s completely useless for this single figure.
I want Hasbro making Armada Red Alert, Blurr and Sideways
The combined mode was absolutely a HUGE selling point for any Armada Optimus Prime, but the sad thing though, in the show, he rarely combined with his trailer and once Jetfire showed up, nearly every fight those two would be combining together.
That eeh while transformer ing was damn near lethal
I was 18/19 when Armada came out and I looooooooved it. The entire Unicron Trilogy was my jam. I’ve made a pact with myself to only get Optimus figures (I just got this guy yesterday)… But I may end up getting every Armada related figure. At least Autobots….
I hope they make Armada Blurr and Sideswipe! Please Hasbro
This is now my favorite transformers toy ever. I HOPE they make Jetfire
14:43 my overload actually hold on super well, It clicks in and everything
U know u can push in headlight front pieces before u connect him in super mode. It closes up those small gaps in his waist
21 years??? I'm 20
I would kill for a Galvatron and Optimus with the Black, Red and Blue paint job when they fought inside Unicron.
LegArmada Prime's really cool, once I get a copy I'll definitely try to pull an SS'86 Ironhide style mod and divide up the super mode front skirt into separate pieces that can move individually. That and maybe separate the super mode fingers.
So happy that Hasbro are releasing Armada remakes this year, but its a shame that except for one they don't have mini-cons. Hope we will get a Mini-Con multi pack at some stage.
8:31 I wonder who bought it. And is now kinda regretting it since we have an official one😂😂😂😂 great review. Once making me stimulate the economy.
2:00 that's how bigfoot walks whenever he's on camera
2:33 is your hand ok?
Not only did we get this and Megatron this year, we also get powerlinx Hot Shot WITH Jolt, Armada fans really eating well this year
The combined mode can have the truck lights slide back int
So hyped for Tidal Wave. As a kid, i got out of collecting figures as Armada dropped/after Beast Wars which sucked. Its great to have a chance to collect a better version of the figures. I am dying to see an updated version of Jetfire (sucks that i recently scooped commander class if they do), Red Alert and Sideways. Also Ruination deserves more love. Feel like he'll be the next combiner since RID is cycling around supposedly.
Been sleeping on a lot of Commander Class, but got Rodimus earlier in the year. Good core robot, but not the most fun to transform, and the trailer is unnecessarily oversized. Hasbro definitely got it right with this long awaited update and the upcoming Ultra Magnus. Really want Hasbro to update Overload for this guy as it added so much in both presence, and epic firepower to the original. Also yes please to a Legacy Energon Prime. The actual design is pretty cool, was just poorly realized with the original toy.
rodimus is the weakest commander imo (its close with sky lynx) I keep hot rod in my main display and just have rodimus in vehicle mode 24/7. my biggest complaint is the head articulation the collar takes away any hope of it looking anywhere but straight forward and looking good
That reminds me, I need to get an Armada Megs
I’ll wait till we get an actual Amarda Wheeljack to pick that one up though
I finally got the chance to preorder the Commander Class Armada Optimus Prime!
a really neat little detail that i found about the core robot that i havnt seen anyone else talk about is there are MiniCon insignia on the underside of the back skirt. just thought that was a need thing to include.
The only real ways I could see improvement in this would be adding the missle pods the original truck mode had, fully possible hands with better 5mm ports, minicon ports, a bigger gun, a star saber as it is seen on the show, a requiem blaster, and a sky boom shield. Any further improvements could be implemented after they give us an overload and jetfire to go with him
SG Sideswipe is pretty damn obvious. I'm looking forward the proper A. Wheeljack.
As for Armada Optimus, this may be my TF of the year. His only flaw is the fiddliness of how to deal with his backpack when combining with his trailerpants.
13:14 bro brought out the minecraft door
I'm not a collector, but when I heard about this I thought, God I need it, and after a little bit of searching because in Spain is not very easy to find this figures I bought it. Now I'm waiting for a Jetfire figure
I actually just picked this guy up too, I actually found going through with a hobby knife on the nubs where it was removed from the mold did wonders to help keep is legs together in robot mode! I think the tolerances are just super tight on this guy and that extra bit of clean up helped sooooooooo much.
Do you mean on the crotch piece where the Super Mode shoulders connect together?
I do hope they make Omega Prime one day
I want an Armada Sideways. Now that guy was what really ramped up the story of Armada and started the chain of story events that lead to Unicron.
For anyone who dislikes the super mode's eyes being yellow instead of red, the eyes are attached to the back of the head, not the front. If you unscrew the back of his head, the front can detach, giving you plenty of room to paint the eyes red!
I did that. Not even a problem
This is my toy of the year, no competition, like holy fuck it's a joy to handle
I love armada
Finally got this, I had the original as a kid and love this, only complaint I kinda have is both robot modes are great and can't display both lol. Bring on MAGMATRON!
Honestly I saw this and was like, $100 bucks, goddamn, but then I saw it and I dream of having this again 😊, amazing that toy guy 😂
The Eminem at home at the beginning 😭
Little surprised there was no mention of the sign of a possible Armada Overload to be made, with the fact there is a Peg Hole in the Armada Trailer in the perfect location for an Overload to connect.
I'm still baffled as to why we haven't gotten that Wheeljack in his proper colors yet. Is this going to be a masterpiece Steeljaw situation again?
That moment you realize you're almost as old as Armada.
Juuuust waiting on mine. Got like another week to wait...
Found this guy for $10 over msrp on Amazon. Figured getting it a mo Ty early was worth it. Looking forward to checking this guy out !!
I am not an Armada-series fan, tbh. It just wasn't my deal. That said I think this may be the best super-robot that Hasbro/Takara has done. Maybe ever. The posability of the super-robot Optimus is just amazing. Articulation standards have really reached a peak from which I am not sure there's a place to improve without having to sacrifice cost, playability, or both.
I like my fans toys version too much so I cancelled this. If it goes on sale ever still may grab one lol. I hope they do a re-color of this though in the colors of the original you had. Appreciate your reviews!
my brother bought this and its really fun to mess with.
more fun than megs anyway
This brings a tear to my eye. I just went crazy the other night thinking of the old figures my mom threw out and how I wanted to buy them back even if they are overpriced. I loved the armada series they were my favorite toys ever and this is basically a newer version of the Optimus I always wanted but couldn’t afford I ended up getting jet fire as a kid for 80$ and all my friends were jealous and offered me they’re whole collections for it but I said no because jet fire meant a lot to me. I really hope they give him this remake treatment.
0:04 I'm fucking twenty now...
My god....
We definitely need a powerlinx and nemesis prime repaint also
does anyone else find the blocks that fold out at the front of the trailer to be unbelieveble stiff
I'm not even an Armada fan, and I really want to pick this one up.
Really wanna buy it because he looks cool but then again I've never watched Armada and it's $80
I haven't finished watching Armada but I do have this figure. It is amazing! And his super mode is great, he is in his super mode on the shelf right now. Some people will say it is overpriced but with what he does, it is totally worth it.
Powerlinx was a GREAT concept, just horribly executed in Energon. I'd love to see a modern take on it.
That SG Sideswipe is half-assed. They could even be bothered to do accurate legs or roof/windshield/doors pieces. No gull wing doors to recreate what his Mini-Con gimmick was. The leaked upcoming Armada Wheeljack is gonna suck.
HE GOT A RESTOCK TODAY ON HASBRO PULSE!!
I hope they make the fire truck Optimus again
i hate how they always work in a base mode to figures like this. we could've gotten a much cleaner trailer and combined mode if they ditched that dumb idea
getting mine today! with megatron and more figures! i dont have the original anymore. but i do have his minicon sooo yeah!
i will be getting this for Christmas with armada legacy Megatron and with a core class arcee from rise of the beasts oh i cant wait to put this on my shelf
It’s sad that I had to cancel my preorder of this guy.
I freakin love this Armada Prime, he's so sick! I find my self constantly wanting to transform him in to Super mode a lot.
Literally just got Armada Prime yesterday
