Jobby (looks at the Takara version and compares it to his own Hasbro one): "Fuckin' Japan, that looks fantastic!" (Robot Mode) "Well, would you look at that! I came!" (Jet Mode)
I like it a lot, and now having the Universe Ramjet, I can tell the posability needed an upgrade. I'm curious how the Voyager will be, and hope we get some good repaints, hopefully some with a big fin on his head.
Armada did one thing very well that I feel G1 never did, the sound design. The Transformers are supposed to be giant robots right? In G1 we rarely heard them stomping and thomping and mechanical cacophony that illustrated their weight, size, and power. Armada did this very well, we heard the stomping, the mechanical bits and bobs, it was clear these were giant robots.
I am really hoping that if they do release a Legacy version of Armada Starscream, they also release versions of his Mini-Cons to interact with: his main Mini-Con Swindle as well as Jetstorm, Runway, and Sonar, the Air Defense/Star Saber Mini-Con Team. I love how he was like a dad to them in the anime, and he let them stay in robot mode, and they followed him around!
You know who needs an update from Armada? Tidal Wave. Preferably Titan class but I’d settle for a Leader class. Also reuse parts of that mold to make a second Tidal Wave that transforms into a Sperm Whale like that one version in the comics.
Like lots of other people Armada was my introduction to Transformers. I am definitely excited for the legacy update and hope to see the repaints/ remolds that come out of it as well. The Armada Skywarp has been one of my favorite looks the character has ever had.
Thank you for being transparent about the plastic of the figure, and I happy knowing I have a nonshill hasbro transformers reviewer that I can get info from!
I hope the rumors are true and we get an update for this figure. If we do I hope we get a lot of repaints out of it. Or at least the repaints armada did Skywarp, Thundercracker, Ramjet, and that darker red / black one that I guess is Thrust. Those are the only ones I know that armada retooled and repainted.
Mini-con Ports is the correct terminology. Pegs are used to lock part of the figure into place, so they stay where they are suppose to. Ports are how Mini-con interact with larger transformers, just like how Siege ports work with Weaponizers.
I am unsure if a new one is needed, but the main reason behind the smaller size had more to do with Scale with original Armada Prime. I don't see a "Voyager-Sized" one returning for this character, because an Armada Starscream would more or less be on a shelf by himself. Great video and good discussion. Keep up the good work, brother! =P
After re watching ALL of armada recently it gave me a soft spot for the characters and made me want their toys lmao, perfect timing even if it’s a mid figure
certainly hoping the new armada starscream is a good one. i like this one, but sort of miss the look of the big wing sword and swindle. according to rumours, the new one is probably going to be a big reimagining like the latest prime figures, so i can't exactly say i expect swindle and the sword to return, or for him to look a lot like the cartoon. hopefully he's still great in his own right, like the aforementioned prime figures
Had the tfcc Ramjet version of this dude and he was sufficiently rad. I'm glad a Voyager is on the horizon because engineering has come so far these past few years. Speaking of, I need an Armada Demolishor update. Such an iconic design and yet it hasn't been touched.
Was Armada the one with Soundwave’s alt being a Scion Xb with KEWL! graphics and a “pepto bismol” colored, Flying V guitar Laserbeak?!? I absolutely love that look! Lol!!
Aren't the Minicon pegs technically both pegs _and_ ports? Because the hole in the middle is meant for a peg inside the Minicon's port. I guess if another argument ever comes up, here's your ammo. Use it however you wish.
he is a tad too small, and its a nightmare trying to track down ANY of the repaints, you would think a new screamer would be repainted to hell and back, but no, T30 armada screamer only had afew, and they were all hard to get, cracker was a TT legends release and warp and ramjet were TFCC figures, and no I do not count that orange knockoff as a repaint, he was a retool at best
I get the feeling the new voyager is just going to be another deluxe sized Armada Starscream but with thicker plastic and effect parts. Hopefully it will come with a Swindle.
I'm hoping they also release the Air Defense Mini-Con Team/Star Saber Mini-Cons Jetstorm, Runway, and Sonar, able to both transform and combine into the saber, to go with Starscream and Swindle as well, either included or able to be purchased separately. I love how in the anime he let them stay in their robot modes, and they followed him around.
I hope they don’t have the friction shoulder rockets honestly just since it might make it stick back half a mile like this one, and I am clinically addicted to BLOOSH effects and want them to BLOOOOOOOSH
Depends. Cause it's one dude running the show sometimes things ship out in a couple days and get here in a week and sometimes things ship out in a week and take 2 weeks to get here
I’m looking forward to seeing the new one (officially, hopefully😠) since this design really needs a proper update. I really hope the voyager comes with a minicon🤞
Old Armada Scream needs his old mini con buddy Swindle, Hasbro can easily package him with the new Legacy figure! Another thing which would make it cool is if one of his wings could detach and form his sword?!
This Armada Starscream is nothing. The bigger one that comes with the Minicon and the combine gimmick is the better one, and honestly all they would need to do to make it perfect is take that exact same mold and give it better articulation, which could easily be done. Honestly not sure why this is the Armada Starscream that always ends up coming up more in Transformer figure videos instead of that one.
I was seriously disappointed with this figure. It was one of the disappointing figures from the time period that led me to quit collecting until the end of Combiner Wars. The unpainted, poor quality plastic, and overall cut corners just make it cheap. Also, one of the swords didn't stay together.
PLEASE DON'T MAKE ARMADA STARSCREAM A RETOOL OF LEGACY JHIAXUS, PLEASE DON'T HAVE ARMADA STARSCREAM SHARE ANY PARTS FROM LEGACY JHIAXUS PLEASE PLEASE HASTAK...
Need to find this guy. Seeing how butchered the legacy prime stuff is, this will probably be the only accurate armada starscream for a while. Even after the legacy one
I can't *possibly* imagine why this would be recommended today.
For future people; yesterday was when Legacy Armada Starscream was announced
I was lucky to get the Takara version of this guy. And if I recall correctly, there might be another ARMADA Starscream coming in the future.
Jobby (looks at the Takara version and compares it to his own Hasbro one):
"Fuckin' Japan, that looks fantastic!" (Robot Mode)
"Well, would you look at that! I came!" (Jet Mode)
yeah in legacy
Update: It's just a modified T30 with different swords and no Launchers. F.
Can we talk about the bit of detail in the shoulders when you move them out. Totally unnecessary bit of detail but very welcome
Legacy figure was revealed today nice
I want to give hug to this version of Starscream so much. He was best version of Starscream of all time. Rest In Peace 😢😢😢😭😭😭
It's my favourite character rendition of starscream
I like it a lot, and now having the Universe Ramjet, I can tell the posability needed an upgrade. I'm curious how the Voyager will be, and hope we get some good repaints, hopefully some with a big fin on his head.

Never thought of this, but very true!
This is also something Transformers Prime did a lot, with that one metal CLANG stock sound effect always reminding me of the show.
And every single one of them had a bit of reverb added to make them sound like robots, rather than just Soundwave.
I am really hoping that if they do release a Legacy version of Armada Starscream, they also release versions of his Mini-Cons to interact with: his main Mini-Con Swindle as well as Jetstorm, Runway, and Sonar, the Air Defense/Star Saber Mini-Con Team.

Loved this figure when it came out and can't wait for Legacy Armada Starscream. If he's half as good as Override looks I'll love him.
Coincidently he just got an update. Which one do you like better, thrilling 30 or the new one?

Great video and good discussion. Keep up the good work, brother! =P
um, voyager armada starscream has been leaked for the legacy line, and all toy leaks in recent years have pretty much all been right
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! Great little video on a figure I love!
After re watching ALL of armada recently it gave me a soft spot for the characters and made me want their toys lmao, perfect timing even if it’s a mid figure
We need a new one in Legacy. I can see this being a retool of Jihaxus.
There has been one leaked for it
I would be so disappointed if it was a retool of jihaxus
@@davinci_5565 Jihaxus isn't that bad.
@@UndeadAhead it wouldn’t work for armada starscream though
@@davinci_5565 I wouldn't.
Ask and ye shall receive - Legacy is retooling this bad boy to be more accurate! Too bad it's still gonna be a bit on the small side.
Legacy created a brand new mould. It's a voyager made of all new parts and not a retool. It's much bigger and it does look awesome
certainly hoping the new armada starscream is a good one. i like this one, but sort of miss the look of the big wing sword and swindle. according to rumours, the new one is probably going to be a big reimagining like the latest prime figures, so i can't exactly say i expect swindle and the sword to return, or for him to look a lot like the cartoon. hopefully he's still great in his own right, like the aforementioned prime figures

Also, I don't like how the cannons don't rotate foward like they do in the show and original toy. I hope they fix that with the new one.
This figure (and eventually Thew) got me into Transformers collecting.
I used to have this and I loved it so much this and skids were both big parts of my childhood
Was Armada the one with Soundwave’s alt being a Scion Xb with KEWL! graphics and a “pepto bismol” colored, Flying V guitar Laserbeak?!?
I absolutely love that look! Lol!!
The Soundwave and Laserbeak you mentioned were from Transformers: Animated
love your vids and journey to home. Good job!
Thankfully we got an update with the legacy version!
I have the Jihaxus they made from this mold. Its a cool design. I like it.
Great video! Armada starscream is one of the best starscreams ever
Maybe when Takara finally does Unicron Trilogy Masterpiece figures they'll do Masterpiece Armada Starscream.
I had this guy and lost it still have the wings though
I have the giaxis version of this guys and I love the mold but yeah it needs an update in possibility
Aren't the Minicon pegs technically both pegs _and_ ports? Because the hole in the middle is meant for a peg inside the Minicon's port.
I guess if another argument ever comes up, here's your ammo. Use it however you wish.
Ngl I love this mold. I've managed to get all versions of it besides the Takara Starscream. I somehow ended up with 3 of the TFCC Ramjets tho lol.
he is a tad too small, and its a nightmare trying to track down ANY of the repaints, you would think a new screamer would be repainted to hell and back, but no, T30 armada screamer only had afew, and they were all hard to get, cracker was a TT legends release and warp and ramjet were TFCC figures, and no I do not count that orange knockoff as a repaint, he was a retool at best

I love how in the anime he let them stay in their robot modes, and they followed him around.
Little Thrilling 30 Starscream is Combiner Wars Armada Megatron's _bee-otch_ .
I still have this guy. I love it. Also I still have at least 15 original minicons
When I was little I saved up to get this starscream because it was the coolest starscream I’d ever seen
Talk about animation errors remember in the very first episode of Cybertron when Optimus was yellow blue and red for some reason
4:22 "ow, pain"
Was I the only one that said "what paint chipping ?" When he mentioned the paint chips
Actually, that "random" yellow is actually accurate to thr original animation model.
Is it bad i bought one of these on ebay to make a custom beast machines Jetstorm?
I hope they don’t have the friction shoulder rockets honestly just since it might make it stick back half a mile like this one, and I am clinically addicted to BLOOSH effects and want them to BLOOOOOOOSH
Quesadilla sounds delicious right now.
Thank you for giving me an excellent idea for lunch.
Can't go wrong with a cheese quesadilla
LITERALLY NO ONE CAN KEEP HOT SHOTS OTHER DOOR 😂😂😂
I only picked him up because hes my favorite version of starscream
Man we getting a voyager scale figure of this guy anyway with legacy
what was the green cool tank turret please answer I need it
Is a legacy version confirmed? I'm not seeing anything online. Grateful if someone could share a link.
Armada Starscream is coming in Legacy, if you search up leaks for upcoming figures within the line you’ll see old Scream on the list.
I got this at Universal studios back in 2014
I have this toy. Unfortunately it’s missing so many parts he’s literally just a torso with an arm and a leg. No weapons or accessories.
I enjoy this figure as well; but the legs were always too loose for my taste.
I actually have this figure and never knew that he was from Armada
I want the exact same figure as thrilling 30 just upscaled
Hope you enjoyed that Quesadilla Fam XDD
Hey look its the protagonist in Journey To Home
Excited for legacy version
Wait what's the story with spring-loaded missiles being expensive these days?
The one at the end in the top right
If they make an update of him, and don't make his wing(s) become his sword(s), the toy will be trash to me.
Quick Question:
Is Armada Optimus worth picking up? There’s a fantastic store that has him, and I want to know if I should get him or not.
Which version?
@@Cdr2002 I believe the commemorative edition. I would say so because the packaging *doesn’t look like Armada packaging*.

How was the quesadilla?
i think you will like the legacy one :)
So this is the original toy from the early 2000s right? I think this actually looks really nice. Might try to get him.
No that's the 2014 version
@@ThatToyGuy I see. Thank you.
Tryna get this one
How long does Sirtoys usually take to ship for you?
Depends. Cause it's one dude running the show sometimes things ship out in a couple days and get here in a week and sometimes things ship out in a week and take 2 weeks to get here
@@ThatToyGuy Thank You so much!
that was the quickest reply ive ever seen
Would the shipping speed be the same to US coustomers?
This should be the mainframe for dreadwing. Lazy engineering Hasbro is.
Looks like you got your wish
Man, we need gimmicks in figures

Mine is so freaking loose
I’m looking forward to seeing the new one (officially, hopefully😠) since this design really needs a proper update. I really hope the voyager comes with a minicon🤞
Old Armada Scream needs his old mini con buddy Swindle, Hasbro can easily package him with the new Legacy figure! Another thing which would make it cool is if one of his wings could detach and form his sword?!
I love this
He's a rahkshi(With a kraata)
Did he shoot himself in the eye or something
Loved this guy until his shoulders got super loose over time
