Not too sure about the Chinese figures, but GiG's "Transformer" line could fire their (hilariously oversized for safety reasons) missiles. Though it can be debated if they were official "Transformers" or not.


And speaking of questions, here's one that's been on my mind for a number of years:

The Transformers Armada cartoon is rather notorious for its music (and inspirational for later shows if nothing else), but there is one track in particular which leaves me perplexed.

Yes I know the animation is rather off-putting, and the song was played in other episodes (such as Optimus Prime and Megatron's final duel in "Mortal Combat"), but this is probably the best example online.

Question is, what is this? Was it a demo title theme never used, but had to be on the show (insert reason here)? Does it have a title? Was it composed by the same team?
Now don't get me wrong, as I happen to like it quite a lot (and wouldn't mind listening to a clean version of the track, hint-hint), but it feels odd in contrast to Armada's orchestra music.

Anyway, it was prominently featured on the Transformers Universe CD-ROM, so it's safe to assume as the intended theme for 2003's line of repaints original characters.
