    Prime. The Unicron Trilogy is terrible.

    Prime, because Armada was repetitive

    I've only seen the first season of Prime but it definitely kills Armada in every way possible.

    I just remembered something. Armada was the closest one, besides Beast Wars and WFC/FOC, to G1. Which I appreciate

    Prime, it is better quality all around. It does have one huge knock against it that really brings it down though. Armada doest have the animation or acting quality and its obvious from the start, you know what your getting and occasionally you can be surprised by a cool story element or how something is presented. I love how in the middle of this very average show the Decepticons are having a constant and subtle war of personalities among themselves. Even the dumb guy like Demolishor is having a crisis of loyalty between the cause and its leader.

    Prime on the other hand constantly builds towards these huge events and shows off how much potential it has, and then completely undercuts it by resolving it immediately and without impact. Its almost like they have too many good ideas and its preventing them from following through on any of them properly. Armada had less going for it, but at the same time it didnt tease you with constant expectations of awesomeness only to crush them directly afterwards.

    I dont enjoy armada as much, but at the same time it doesnt bitterly disappoint me with all these missed opportunities.

    I don't give a damn what any of you say, the beginning of armada might of not been that well, but damnit the unicron battles is some of the best transformers fiction we ever got

    prime is worse than energon in my eyes, because of just how much of a waste that show is.

    I've forgotten what Armada was even about. Using the Minicons as weapons?

    kinda like stimulant. Gave the user a temporary power boost. A little weak IMO but the better of the A/E/C gimmicks
