This is what could've happened if Hasbro/Takara went all way and made Bendy Armada Optimus with fully articulated Super Mode instead of making a Gimmick-Former.
omg that's the dream. I remember being so frustrated with the armada line since they lacked so much articulation especially with my favorite characters x'D ! I loved armada though even if it was REALLY really bad x'D ! (The show was better the toys mehhh haha) Except like the original line with Optimus, Megatron, Red Alert, Hot Shot etc cause those gimmicks were pretty fun!
Fun fact: The mini-con doesn’t look quite the same as the original in vehicle mode because it’s actually a timely update! They’re both Lamborghinis. The original one is a Diablo which launched in 1990, and the newer one is a Gallardo which launched in 2003. Newer figure, newer car I guess! :)
What a figure. I grew up with the Unicron Trilogy so this hits that nostalgia button real good. Minus some cracking and some ratchet joints being much tighter than they should be, I love this. I did some fixing on my copy to reinforce those cracked areas and I have no problems with it now! Great review as always and looking forward to your review of Megatron down the road!
I feel like the original Armada Prime could've been almost as good as this if it had been engineered by the same people who designed RID 2001 Optimus Prime.
The original version of this toy (the one without the trailer, though) was my very first TF toy ever. I'd love to one day had an updated version of it.
@@Cyberfan2167 it was watchable when i was a kid. But yeah it didn't hold up too well. I guess it had a few cool moments. But otherwise it fell flat. Armada was better, and Cybertron had some really strong points too. I love the starscream designs from all of them.
Just got this guy at TFCon last weekend (accidentally broke the leg separating it for super mode it was so tight) but when I got a replacement I watched this video and it was incredibly useful so thank you.
Man, this figure is such an impressive feat. Makes me wanna rewatch the Unicron Trilogy (which, I admit, I don't think I ever watched all of to this day). I never would have expected any company to create Masterpiece figures of designs from a series as out there as the Unicron Trilogy. I applaud the out-of-the-box thinking from Fans Hobby, and I'll definitely look forward to whatever other Unicron Trilogy-based figures they make. Hell, I may even start collecting them. I would like to make one small correction, though. The stock Super Mode ears are actually more stylized; Prime never actually had those in Armada. The replacement ones, though, are what he had in the show as well as on the original Armada Prime toy.
Great review Ben. I was on the fence about getting him but you persuaded me to order him. Getting more into the Armada line and I got the Korean version of Overload from BBTS a few months ago for so its funny retailers still have it.
Interesting. The way the handles come out from the sides of the gun reminds me of the Dematerializer from Filmation's Ghostbusters back in the 80s!! I don't particularly care for the design of Micron Convoy/Armada Optimus Prime, but this is pretty impressive!! Need one of these third-party peeps to finally come out with Galaxy Convoy/Cybertron Optimus.
Everytime I see this and the way It's designed I just get the same feels I got from the RID 2001 Optimus Prime and RID 2001 Ultra Magnus figures which are honestly a couple of my favorite transformers figures. It's the same with Fanshobby's upcoming Megatron figure which I am looking forward to the most.

I find using the super mode’s chin to brace the shoulder joints to be quite useful. Take care with the sliding joints for the core robot arms, I’ve already broken mine.

After this and Energy Commander aka Energon Optimus Prime,follow up with Fire Commander aka RiD2001 Optimus Prime and then his Cybertron: Primus Unleashed version aka "Space" Commander (or Galaxy Commander;don't use Star Commander since it would be a play on Star Convoy which is already produced).
So, the hinges crack because of the pins they use was wrong i think. But when i see this review, for me its due to the design flaw. They should have made the cab double hinges rather than single.
If you really must know WHY, you should ask the company, Fans Hobby. Actually, in the G1 episode #10 "The Ultimate Doom, Part 3-Revival", Optimus Prime leads an assault on surfboards, along with Ironhide, Ratchet, Prowl & Bluestreak. ;)
The armada matrix is probably my favorite design, close second is the one from the live action film. I just think the monochromatic metal around the glowing blue center is much more clean

It's kinda ugly. I liked the more bumblebee look of the old one.

i may acually get this if a fix ever comes out for those fragile hinges
My childhood toys. Oh how I missed thee.
This looks good, but it's just not doing it for me, so I'm just gonna wait for the mystery Armada prime figure that was shown off ages ago.
Yeah, I would expect for the price a figure that looks a lot more premium than it comes across on screen.
For the price point without electronics and motorized base transformation like the original seems to be a bit expensive, is it?
I'd put Energon Starscream's designs up there as one of that series best, I'd love to see him get the 3P treatment,
Just waiting for mine from TheChosenPrime; can’t waaaaaaait~
36:30. I see why their so robust since their doing an overload
So excited for my preorder to come in. Really scared of those brittle areas though since I play with my figs pretty roughly.
Can you combine the Naval Commander Armada Optimus toy with Armada Jetfire Legs?
how would you rate the plastic? is it cheap as in it'll break or can you actually do stuff with it like stop motion
"I love the strength of these thighs!"
ah, a fellow man of culture i see
I really don’t like the silver gap between the chest and pelvic area In primes normal form, other than that it looks great
My Sparkplug has a bad arm. Peg keeps slipping out of the ball joint at his shoulder. Any fix?
Perhaps a little Kiki or nail polish on the joint or send Fans Hobby a message ?
Awesome
I cant believe that just Fans hobby has made an Armada figure, not even hasbro has done it because of g1
The rubber for the tires and treads smell very strong, can I alleviate this?
Cartoon ACcurate! Nice! :D !

Do you still have X-Transbots Hoss? I'd love to see a pic of that next to the core robot here. Kind of like a red & blue truck buddy cop movie. :D
