if prime didn't have the auto transform gimmick I think there would be a bit more articualtion available, someone could have an upgraded plate to allow a torso rotation Overload could have had elbows and wrists from day 1 (he's sucks a walking gun that ankles would have been hard
While cleaning out my my brothers closet, I found an Optimus and Overload that have a different color variation. Overload being Yellow and Optimus being dark grey.
Epic review GotBot!!!!!!!!! :D The combined convoy vehicle reminds me of the G1 Battlestars team, Star Convoy, Grandus, and Sky Garry. :) Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
I dont get how you got all 3 to stay connected together mine was crap never held together got so fed up with the optimus got rid of it the other 2 figures were fine
It is very unclear how to put them in. The red part kind of rails between the grey part on the back. Then you need Prime's arms positioned just right to use the circular pegs on his arms to peg into Overload. I could only ever, at best, get one pegged on and even that was tough and iffy
@@DennisMoultonAKAGotBot that's what's really sad combining transformers isnt hard they done it before but this was just crap a agree with you that armada was horrible for toys I did like the megatron thou and I think a couple other decepticons but the autobots suffered bad
@@DennisMoultonAKAGotBot 80s toon, yes, but, in more recent TF fiction there's usually an introduction. Character appears, we learn their name, personality & abilities (sometimes a back story). It's weird Overload's the only one in Armada to lack all that since, say what you will about how flawed it was, but, it still did a great job introducing new characters. My favorite was Tidal Wave's entrance into the series.
You're the first person I know since JTMitchell87 to review this specific mode. That video from him is still up by the video quality is bad. This is the first time I've seen this mode in HD.
Well, I TRY to touch on all parts of the fandom, when I can. It's not easy as a lot relies on the kindness of others lol, but once I start, gotta do it properly, right? I am more excited though about looking at his arch nemesis (with his suit) coming up soon lol.
@@DennisMoultonAKAGotBot Oh no, that's perfectly fine and all. What I was really trying to say is that you are the first person to review this particular mode in *10 years.* And overall the second person I know of to review it. Nobody really knows much about this mode, that's how obscure it is.
Im too poor right now but transformers armada is super nostalgic and i use to have the optimus prime. I always wanted jetfir and never got it. Eventually ill get them
@@DennisMoultonAKAGotBot I even had the Instructions for Overload and I looked up videos to try and figure out how to get him to attach to Optimus, that online helped half way, I still had to figure out their was a separate clip that folded out from the fold out. I was trying to slide the thing into the Hollow area behind Optimus head like Damn do they want you to Break it to get it in there haha
Overall this is nothing different than star convoy besides the colors not to mention that star convoy is g1 Japanese version and let's not forget powermaster Optimus prime, Armada was introduced for that generation of the Unicron trilogy and I got to agree Armada Optimus Prime's sucks ass but most transformers even if they have articulation or not most just stand on our shelves in one static pose and just look good sitting up there as is anyway LOL but like I said I agree Armada Optimus prime does suck mainly because of the gimmick
That's where we differ. I always use mine, not the least of which for Universal Collision. I could never animate this trash cuz there is nothing to animate lol. This is like the poormam's Star Convoy. It's like nanny went to the dollar store, picked up this change robot for you and as not to break nan's heart, you say thank you and walk back into your room and hide it so your friends don't see it lol.
@@DennisMoultonAKAGotBot I did look up the naval commander and wow that thing looks freaking awesome and it's definitely a masterpiece version of armada prime
had this too - sold it . thx for sharing

Woulda, coulda shoulda,lol.
Nice for display but not for play
Good7 Bad13 agreed
Agree with you both.
While cleaning out my my brothers closet, I found an Optimus and Overload that have a different color variation. Overload being Yellow and Optimus being dark grey.
Wierd. I don't know enough about Unicron Trilogu to know the variants.
I wanted these so bad when I was a kid
nostalgia!

I can vaguely see it.
@@DennisMoultonAKAGotBot Same here, which is I why I'm hoping to get the chance to finally add Overload to my collection. :D

The Jetfire pants is loose. I assure you, the Overload cannons are not as secure as they should be.
@@DennisMoultonAKAGotBot ok I couldn't get my secure soon as I moved it would fall apart it was the 1st transformer I wanted to throw at the wall lol

Nice combination and lots of playability.. but I rather display these guys in there ALT mode.😉😎
I dunno about lots of playability, it's pretty precarious for a brick lol. BUT, I totally agree with them best served in alt mode
I want to pick up the Costco version. Anyone got a hit?
Wish I could help buy not something I know of. Good luck.
Always hated how, in the show, Overload just appears from outta nowhere, zero explanation.
Idon't even remember him.Ihave blocked out the terrible trauma that was Unicron Trilogy lol. Tranaformers is famous for bots appearing out of nowhere.

@@alexlemonds2838 Armada was definitely the highlight of the Unicron trilogy. I really liked the show.

Lol, you're gonna make me blush. I do miss stuff, time-to-time, but I generally try to be very thorough.

The jetfire is decent. Fans Hobby is doing great updates. I feel ya about the too poor right now, brother.
@Timothy Jones we lived the same child hood 😂
I have seen so many different Transformers
lol...there are a lot lol.
Nice video as always dennis also I agree with you when you say armada prime is the absolute WORST transformer figure ever😂
He is so, so bad.
A kid would have never figured this out
Agreed, which totslky goes to show how sophistocated the engineering had been and can be sometimes with an obvious focus on the adult collector

The only redeeming thing about Armada Prime is that abomination was voiced by the legendary Garry Chalk.
Agreed lol.
first
A new first conteder, i see.
