I bet Armada Megatron will be Seige Megatron remould with a Leader 1 pack in to justify leader pricing.
Not sure if Im joking or not.
If Skyquake is a Jhiaxus remould I wonder how they will pad him out to sell as a leader?

Please let it have some action features. I don't give a shit if the knees bend.

Oh god, everything about that was so stupid.
Terrible mold choice, terrible likeness, and they released it in the same goddamned wave as the G1 version.
They ensured no one would want it, and ensured no one would buy it.
They didn't just shoot themselves in the foot, they hacked it off with a machete.

All that said, I wish I'd bought it instead of G1 Megs, now knowing that it was only the beginning of a deluge in silver tank g1 megatrons

Likewise - it's not a mold I'm particularly crazy about any more...
But as for Armada Megs, I've got to agree with the Doctor here, I'm afraid - I'd really like this toy to be fun. It won't - it'll have no action features (aside from "EVO-FUSION!!!!" - which is basically putting weapons in holes), and the main selling point will be the knees and ankle tilts. But that is the Generations line now...

It'd have been kinda hilarious if all the promo photos had him straight legged, and in the stream they really emphasized his ankle tilts, while continuing to make him look like he has no knees.

I don't recall anything being mentioned but I was very busy by that point and my head was falling off.

Course not.
Well, the gun turret rotates round to sit on his chest like the original. He has the two missiles in the smaller launcher, but it didn't look like they did anything.

No, Managed that earlier. I was having trouble keeping up with the stream today, tired after a bad night and no sleep this afternoon. When Megatron came up I was then in he leaks thread selecting posts to move cos I knew what was next and was kicking myself for not "own threading" those posts in advance tmukhub.proboards.com/post/494474/threadMy head imploded shortly after from doing too much too quickly on top of what had gone before |

Of course, the big question is: can you position his cannon in X-rated mode?

He looks great!
Gappy forearms though. No dagger play-feature then.

Of course not, but he has the knees everyone screamed about 20 (!) years ago.

Really not sure what to make of this in hand. Certainly the best of the attempts to do do a new Armada Megatron so far but somehow has lost a bit of the original's soul
Decent looking replica of the original, big and chunky by current leader scale, better leg articulation than the original.
Big shoulders don#t turn with the arms, ala Legacy Laser Op.
Complete gutting of the original action features :-( The visor is there, but it's fold it out of the chest.
No Minicon pegs but lots of 5mm sockets for you to use Siege Micromasters as Armada Minicon substitutes. Must resurrect looking at 5mm dowel
Antlers are a tad loose
Turret restricted so it won't turn 360° or do rude robot mode :-(
