    Oh I just loved the Armada toy line for all its retro clunkiness. I got burned buying rid figures that had no resemblance but the name to their g1 counterparts, and were overly complex.

    Armada and the mini-cons will always have a special place in my heart. And one always needs an excuse for more mini-cons. Micro masters are nice, but I miss mini-con ports
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Hasbro are just waiting for the milestones and the kids who watched it to have disposable incomes. Its time will come, then we'll have Armada out the wazoo, along with the rest

    I'd like to see pretenders re-done, shells with insane detail, where the inner robot hides in the torso of the shell, leaving shell arms and legs free to be articulated. Inner robots could have more standard articulation and heads that fold away. +new characters
    And the world needs more duocons and their autobot equivalents

    I had the opposite journey with Armada. I loved the more intricate RiD figures, and the realistic (sometimes licensed) alt modes that the new Autobot molds had.

    By comparison Armada felt a little bit too PlaySkool for me, especially seeing as many of the figures lacked articulation.

    That said, I have loved the scant few re-imaginings of Armada figures that CHUG has given us - Hot Shot, Starscream and Megatron. I wouldn't mind seeing a whole line done like that.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    Considering how advanced the RID series is, Hasbro may think "If it ain't broke don't fix it." But if they find a way to breathe new life into a revival of the series I'll be quite impressed.

    Over the last few months (and thanks to those here who've aided and abetted me in this ) I've put together most of the Animated deluxes, voyagers, and leaders (really, really need to find a deluxe Ratchet - he's the only main cast member that I've not been able to see for sale in Australia). Apart from the woefully out-of-scale Sentinel Prime (needs to be a voyager to match Optimus, not a deluxe, good as it may be) and Lugnut (great figure, but needs to be a leader), they're brilliant. Would be wonderful to see Hasbro revisit the line, as long as they also revisited the design style and level of quality. Price be damned, I want the things, and there were several rather prominent characters who never got toys (such as the two Constructicons).
