I would absolutely love an Armada Sideways figure. Not only was he a pivotal character to the story, his is also the Armada toy I played to destruction as a little girl. Armada Wheeljack (aka Not!Sideswipe lol) would be awesome as well, just because I really like his colors and that scarred over Autobadge. Could probably get away with a minor retool of Sideswipe so it wouldn't even be too hard.
Other than the obvious combination partners, Sideways with double headmaster gimmick, Demolishor and Cyclonus would be cool to have. Autobots outside of Blurr and maybe hoist don’t have too many interesting designs I’d want to see, though getting Scavenger and Sideswipe to give them better figures would be cool
Smokescreen, Redalert, and Sideways would be nice. Though if they do Smokescreen, it better come with the Skyboom shield. Launching it to one of the others was a big part of his screen time.
The presence of ratchets in a leader class figure gives me hope that they will do a Legacy Tidal Wave. Usually when a figure has ratcheted knees, they're supposed to help support a heavy weight of some kind. But on a figure like Megatron, he doesn't really have any substantial weight above the knees to warrant ratchets pointless unless they plan to combine him with Tidal Wave down the line.
We need a Legacy Armada Sideways with his faction-changing gimmick intact. He was so integral to the series playing both sides and being the avatar of Unicron.
For the Autobots, it would have to be Jetfire! We need that classic combination again! As for the Decepticons, I would have to go with Sideways. He was such a cool character in the show! It would be fun to see how they would do the headmaster gimmick with him.
I seriously can’t wait to get this figure! Owned the original as a kid until teen me gave all my toys away x.x going to be nostalgic having a new version of it
Plot Twist: What if the "Galvatron" leak is Energon Galvatron that reuses parts and headsculpt from Kingdom G1 Galvatron? This Megatron is awesome! Looks like he stepped out of the anime!
Ok Conspiracy theory time. I think we will get minicons but the catch is instead of having ports they will have pegs, this is because all the armada figures so far have ports where the minicon pegs used to be (Starscream's fore arms, Megatron's arms, shoulders and back of the tank turret). Also if you think about it it makes more sense for the toyline since you could plug the minicons into ANY figure not just the armada. Btw I know people want a minicon star saber the most but honestly I want Leader 1 the most, Armada Megatron feels incomplete without the little guy especially since he's also a target master and completes his "chest cannon mode"
@cruller11 Commander Class doesn't do Tidal Wave justice. In the show he was often depicted way bigger than his combine gimmick would really allow for and in the game he's huge, and given that he transforms into a Decepticon flying aircraft carrier, the size makes sense. The only other thing they could do is release 2 versions, a leader (I've seen some people say commander would be too big for the gimmick cause the weight would make Megs unbalanced or at least barely able to pose) AND a Titan, the Titan could be game colours while the leader would be show colours. Also Broadside would probably do better as its own figure than a repaint, he looks way different and, if memory serves, is a triple changer.
The ears on mine never fell off. In fact, they never even became loose. I don't know where you got yours, but you could've just gotten ahold of something from a bad batch, as I've never heard of the original's ears falling off.
I managed to find a single copy of this figure at Walmart yesterday! He’s very fun and scales well with Armada Starscream, cant wait for Optimus Prime to arrive in August!
The reasoning for the hands being different wasn't just because of the original toy but because I'm the show that hand was actually a claw instead of a normal hand
The reason why the cannon doesn't spin 360° has nothing to do with the transformation process... What happens is that Hasbro avoided for the cannon to adopt a compromised position over the crotch when the turret is placed in the front of the robot in order to avoid memes and a possible complaint from parents.
The Micromasters that we got in "Transformers: Siege & Earthrise" are your minicons you can attach them to weapon ports on Megatron in either vehicle or robot modes, they won't activate any gimmicks like the original Armada toy, but you can still pose Megatron with minicons on him.
A deluxe demolishor would be nice the original figure is pretty good for possibility but missing shoulders and you can get I think 4 repaints from that mold. Then for an autobot voyager red alert who’s original figure was also pretty possable but the kibble did hinder the figure
having a horn pop off allows to reenact the fight Armada Megatron fight with Galvatron in Dreamwave comic and I agree we need Tided Wave and Mini Cons to complete Armada Megaton
Just bought it two days ago. I saw it being the last pc on the store so i didn't hesitate to get it and it's totally worth it! Just need to buy hotshot armada legacy and legacy armada optimus to complete the line uo
Seeing as most of original Armada Megatron toys I see are with broken horns, I can see the value in the Legacy's horns being plug-ins. As for what I would like to see, Jetfire is a no-brainer. Though as far as Unicron Trilogy goes, I would love to see Energon Galvatron. Definitive design for me.
the original armada megatron's horns were plug ins as well. There was a pinching claw/battle damage gimmick to them. You're more than likely not seeing broken horns but just missing ones. EDIT: Mildly concerned about these new ones being soft plastic compared to the hard plastic of the original because of what's happened to other figures that have softer plastic plug in parts.
I already preordered Armada Megatron and Optimus. I grew up with Armada, so I felt like I had to get these two for nostalgia's sake (even though I never owned the originals). Personally, the only other figures I'd like to see get remade would be Sideways and Demolisher. Also i think they should just make Armada Wheeljack using Sideswipe's build.
I think you meant Sideswipe, I think the Legacy Hotshot is great, I want Red Alert Demolisher and Cyclonus just so we can have the OG cast I would love Jetfire and Overload to go with Optimus and also Wheeljack as I loved his Armada version and they could easily use the Siege or Earthrise Sideswipe mould I really want the Armada Megatron but I have a convention in August so I will buy him there
I would love to see an armada sideways or a energon arcee because sideways was the goat when it came to be a triple agent more than double dealer or punch/counter punch
I had the original toy growing up! It was one of my favorites, right under Energon Scorponok. Edit: I forgot that Megatron had those horns, as I lost those early on.
I still _vastly_ prefer the original Armada Megatron, and frankly I prefer the originals to _anything_ in the Legacy line. So much better shit, and better interactivity, as well as being a bigger figure.
The only thing the original is missing to hit modern articulation standards is ankle and knee joints, I remember people used to mod those onto the old one somehow and I never got around to trying it myself because the method it used it required taking parts from several different action figures with similar sized parts and basically swapping them out via really careful cutting.
@@Sleesus Oh I wouldn't _mind_ getting the modern one, it's just that I vastly prefer the original. Better interactivity and, in my opinion, a better figure. If you or anyone else enjoys the modern ones, then by all means go ahead. This is just my personal opinion.
I need to 4 Decepticons out of that Banger of a Game, we already have Megatron and Starscream, only a Cyclonus and Tidal Wave are missing. Would Love to get like a Titan Class Tidal Wave, but that is sadly not happening :( or maybe......
I am not really sold on the Armada remakes due to lacking the gimmicks. I think they all miss the point and most of the charm of the original toys. Like I can appreciate the Optimus having legs instead of a stand, but I think the original toy brings more to the table.
It also feels somewhat like they're purposefully gimping things with stuff nobody mentions in these reviews like the fact Megatron's launch ramp molding in tank mode is literally half-painted.
i feel his turret gimmick would look better facing forward if it had like an accessory that looked like his minicon that you could plug into the peg just to give it a more.....original look i suppose, it just feels weird not having it in my opinion.
Blurr, Thrust, Red Alert, Demolishor... honestly I love all the characters from Armada (save for Sideswipe, I just don't like him) but... I want Scavenger, loved the character but the toy is a brick that constantly leans forward because of that stupid giant roller wheel making both of his legs. And screw a combining Tidal Wave, we need a TITAN Tidal Wave!
now we need a legacy tidal wave for this figure and a legacy armada jetfire and legacy overload for armada optimus
*You took the words STRAIGHT out of my mouth!*
And some minicons
@@krtos7514 the micromasters from siege will suffice.
Hi I just watched the movie today when it came out
@@krtos7514 they don't have minicon ports, so what's the point?

Yeah same. ..:At this point I'd be happy with Cybertron Sidey.
@@duskbringer4583 Cybertron Sideways would be cool too! He wasn't half as fun on screen but that's still a really cool design imo
Armada Sideways was so cool indeed! I played a lot with him too
we are so close to an armada wheeljack thanks to that shattered glass sideswipe
@@sunugin-ang-kanyang-bahay I know!!!
*I wish (and kind of hope) that Hasbro release Battle Masters in the vein of the old Mini-Cons.*
Other than the obvious combination partners, Sideways with double headmaster gimmick, Demolishor and Cyclonus would be cool to have. Autobots outside of Blurr and maybe hoist don’t have too many interesting designs I’d want to see, though getting Scavenger and Sideswipe to give them better figures would be cool
armada overload and jetfire i think would be nice for how they combine with prime and have play interactions with each other.
One leek of the junkeon bodies could end up being energon demolisher.
I’d love an armada sideways. Would be interesting to see the new take on his original gimmick.
Give me an Armada Sideways, or give me death.
I could easily see us getting an Armada Wheeljack as Hasbro could just use the Kingdom Sideswipe mold.
I would love that
I managed to find this figure out of nowhere today, completely opposite to where the rest of the TFs were, and I'm so glad I found it
Smokescreen, Redalert, and Sideways would be nice.
Though if they do Smokescreen, it better come with the Skyboom shield. Launching it to one of the others was a big part of his screen time.

i never thought i would ever hear balt utter the words "jobby jizz", and i hope to hear it again in the near future.
you were right about the tiny decepticon symbol in the chest in the original. i had one and i really remember that
Maybe the horn broke off Because Its a homage to the show Where his horn broke a few time

Love they kept the design from the original with slight changes on Megatron.
Plot Twist: What if the "Galvatron" leak is Energon Galvatron that reuses parts and headsculpt from Kingdom G1 Galvatron?
This Megatron is awesome! Looks like he stepped out of the anime!
In the stream that revealed Armada Megatron, they made a very cryptic comment that sounds like they were teasing that Tidal Wave is planned.
More proof that we DESPERATELY need a legacy remake of Demolisher and Cyclonus.
I really can’t wait for mine to eventually arrive. Love the references to the original toy.
Ok Conspiracy theory time.

I'd love to see Jetfire, Thrust, Sideways, Nemesis Prime, Overload, Galvatron, blue Starscream and whoever else.
An Armada repaint of Optimus for a Nemesis Prime wouldn't be too bad either!
Would be nice to actually see these in stores. I still have galvatron shelf warming in just about every store I go into
Honestly wish there were either minicon ports or at least new minicons that worked with the newer ports. Some of these feel incomplete without em.
SHEEEEEEILAAAAAAA
-Michael J Caboose
We need Red Alert, Cyclonus and Demolisher and then we have all of the original Armada cast.
Also we need a Titan class Tidal Wave.

The ears falling off is accurate to the original figure. Love the attention to details

the Antlers do Ariticulate just like that one Armada episode he used to choke Hot Shot.
This figure randomly showed up at my Walmart today.🤯
What a very unexpected reference rvb amazing for most of it
Love your videos so keep up the good work🎉😅
I managed to find a single copy of this figure at Walmart yesterday! He’s very fun and scales well with Armada Starscream, cant wait for Optimus Prime to arrive in August!
The minute I heard the red versus blue reference my heart filled with joy
And my head plays the theme song immediately.

That's stupid... But I wouldn't put it past them considering the Punisher fun figure, that one (I think) Energon toy and Transmetal Blackarachnia
@@bleppyboo exactly!
Wheeljack from the Sideswipe mold. Make it happen, Hasbro. Also, I can see Blurr remolded from Pointblank.
I would like a Voyager class Armada Demolisher.
Fracking "JOBBYJIZZ" 😂
The Micromasters that we got in "Transformers: Siege & Earthrise" are your minicons you can attach them to weapon ports on Megatron in either vehicle or robot modes, they won't activate any gimmicks like the original Armada toy, but you can still pose Megatron with minicons on him.
It's disappointing that with all the various Siege Sideswipe repaints released, they've never done Armada Wheeljack
Give us Powerlinx Galvatron redeco, Yesss.
Heck, Powerlinx tecolors for all the Armada Legacy figures!
For myself, I want to see a legacy version of Armada Red Alert, Jetfire, Cyclonus, and Demolisher
The original Armada Megatron is the only old figure that I still have from back when I was a kid. Certified brick.
Personally, I'd like to see a Red Alert and Demolisher for Armada in Legacy.
And the The Stranger there Among them had a Big Iron on his Hip
*Big Iron On His Hip*
I wouldn't mind having an Armada Red Alert and an Armada Optimus Prime that didn't cost more than $60.
Now we need a legacy armarda jet fire and tidal wave
Baltmatrix, I would an armada cyclonus, demolisher, scavenger, and a sideways. Sideways needs it's own mold, not a repaint/ retoo
My buddy ordered me prime so I had to order Megatron just for some fight scene displays when they come in
12:04 Unless you're talking about the Minicon Skid-Z, you're actually probably referring to Sideswipe.
A deluxe demolishor would be nice the original figure is pretty good for possibility but missing shoulders and you can get I think 4 repaints from that mold. Then for an autobot voyager red alert who’s original figure was also pretty possable but the kibble did hinder the figure
I hope they rerelease that Hot Shot that was a remold of Hound because it’s one of my holy grails.
Armada Optimus Prime is one, though I would love to see Jetfire
The fact the turret swings round to the front gives me hope that Tidal Wave is coming...
Now we need a galvatron repaint
having a horn pop off allows to reenact the fight Armada Megatron fight with Galvatron in Dreamwave comic and I agree we need Tided Wave and Mini Cons to complete Armada Megaton
* Reads the title of the video *
Y E S
Love the looks of this mold, waiting for Galvatron.
Wow. A newer transformer that DOESN'T SUCK. But I wish it had the gimmicks of the original, especially the hidden blade...
Just bought it two days ago. I saw it being the last pc on the store so i didn't hesitate to get it and it's totally worth it! Just need to buy hotshot armada legacy and legacy armada optimus to complete the line uo
after you replaced the fist with the cannon I thought we could get a animated shockwave.
3:00 Hmm, possible retool into Animated Shockwave perhaps?
Somehow I feel this could absolutely be remolded into Animated Shockwave/Long Arm Prime
For his cannon i leave it upwards in robot based on his video game model instead of the show model that usually has is slanted down

Not the Jobby Jizz lmaoooo
He'll look great next to the original of mine. Great re-make, better than the Combiner Wars version.
I would like to see tidalwave, blurr and Demolishor armada
I literally just found him at my local walmart
All plastic block syndrome. Devastator/ Scavenger, Stepper/Sideswipe🤮, Skyfire/Jetfire, Sandstorm/Cyclonus, Ironhide/Demolishor, Rampage/Wheeljack. And obviously Shock Wave/Tidal Wave.
We need tidal wave and side ways for sure
I would love to see an armada sideways or a energon arcee because sideways was the goat when it came to be a triple agent more than double dealer or punch/counter punch

I wish I knew how people got these figures so early. Mine isn't due till July
I do wish he came with his minicon, but we can at least still hope for Tidalwave.
I can't be the only one that heard Jobby Jizz and saw him flash into my mind😂
Much like Laser Prime, the lack of shoulder rotation is inexcusable in a modern toy. Especially when the original toy had it.
I hope they do armada tidal wave for him
the loss of the minicon play[attern makes me a bit sad. But I guess that's what 3rd party is for 😅
I had the original when I was 5
Sheila being a transformer both worries and excites me.
I think Hasbro hates Minicons because of the "Poke-formers" meme.
We will probably get minicons but they’ll probably be 5mm compatible to make them more universal but he’ll get leader 1 in the future
