    Sure, I guess. That was the colours they used in the Unicron Battles, which was when Armada started becoming really interesting.

    The cartoon had Starscream take on those colours, while the only release of the original Armada Starscream toy in those colours was Thundercracker. I'm guessing Shin Densetsu assumes that if Hasbro released Generations Armada Scream in blue, they'd once again call him Thundercracker.

    Nah just make Thundercracker on his own, I have no desire to own that mold as Armada Megatron or Armada Galvatron they deserve their own shared mold not some G1 Megatron retool

    Honestly, I own both versions of the leader mold and although I think it's kinda of cool, I don't think I would buy it again. Wouldn't mind the Thundercracker though

    I'd get Thundercracker if he was sold by himself. Otherwise no.

    Nah.

    Now as for a Generations (86) 2 pack featuring a new Galvatron and (new) Hot Rod, I'd be all in on that.

    Not knocking Armada or anything, but, priorities man.

    I think it's a cool idea, but not one I'm likely to purchase. I'd be much more likely to buy a Fort Max from that mold.

    Would prefer something other than Galvatron so I wouldnt double dip on the character. Do want Megazarak, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Ramjet and that one G2 jet (Windsweeper?) FunPub teased in their comics.

    What about a 2 Pack of Thundercracker with Skywarp? like how Takara did with Hoist and Trailbreaker? I'd be down for that.

    100% sold for me. Bonus points if Skywarp had the remolded head but I doubt the head fin would work on the mold unless they made it collapsible.

    I'm sure they'd find a way to do it.

    And then Universe Ramjet out of the Skywarp mold.

    I think this would be a really neat exclusive. Count me in for the Armada nostalgia factor ... yes, I just said Armada nostalgia.

    I'm all in for Armada homages, but especially Thundercracker/Powerlinx Starscream. We better get the latter in some fashion at least.
