The asymmetry was beautiful and though the original sword was clever i was looking forward to a better engineered one with this update.

I love how the Armada Seekers had the wing sword, sadly just clipping the swords under the wing is a bit of a cop out.

The photoshopped versions look great!:p

And the photos of the real thing look pretty good. I'm impressed that Tailgate got his own mold, rather than just being a Windcharger reapaint. Whirl looks a loot better with a coloured eye, and Scoop is looking good.

Armada Starscream looks good mold wise, but I've never liked his colour shceme much.


My biggest (reasonable) wish in generations now is that Hasbro would make Neddlenose for scoop to have a Targetmaster duel with. Oh and Nightbeat. :D

Man, SCOOP? I can't believe they made Scoop. That's so great.

Just... give me all of these, really. Whirl, Tailgate and Mini-con combiner especially.

I just realized. Starscream doesn't have a Minicon, what good is an Armada toy without a Minicon? Gaaahhhh :mad:

Yeah same here. But it dosen't seem to be an intentional homage, judging from what the Hasbro designer said at the panel.

I like the concept art a lot. Hopefully the toy will do it justice.:cool:

I wonder if it is to encourage buying the mini con combiner, or an accidental omission?

Just keep bringing on these Generation figures

Give me 1 of everything please :D

Wow, will get that kabuki(not geisha btw...) TF.
