As someone that eyed off the original Armade Prime in the toy aisle in the early 2000's and now finally getting a figure based on it I'm pretty happy with it. A fun figure to transform and pose, and hefty too so i hope to see the combined size of Overload and Jetfire sometime in the future.
The negatives being some very strong ratchet joints as mentioned above getting in the way of posing. No Minicon ofcourse. Base mode as well being pretty boring but I've never had an interest in any base mode. I also took the removable piece on the back skirt and hooked it into the empty space on the backpack, I prefer the look of that compared to it being on the skirt piece.
It also makes me want to get the other legacy armada figures despite not really being interested in what I've seen of them.
