i'm thinkin' runamuck's head is the only useful thing outa this pack that's useful, I already got cybertron blurr, bendy prime and longrack. but i really need to find another transformer to use that runamuck head on.
nothing like a little tfw and some back to the future soundtrack, jonny be good baby....
Railguard:
Nice thought but some of these I'm not too interested in.
Enigma2K2:
This SO reminds me of what they're doing with Spider-Man 3 on DVD... They keep bundling it with the better ones...
netkid:
Why can't we get the deluxe Armada Optimus Prime in Animation-Accurate Powerlinx colors? The $40 Armada Powerlinx Optimus Prime was never show accurate in color.
All those amazing fight moves Prime saved up for finally whupping Galvatron's white & purple ass in "Mortal Combat." That's the best thing I remember from that entire show.
Heck, it'd be even better if the Prime figure came packed with the Armada "Mortal Combat" episode on DVD.
That's beggin' to be done. C'mon Hasbro, let's milk that bendy Prime mold for all it's worth!
One the subject of the 5-Pack, I like the repainted Prime, and I don't have any of the 4 remolded Cybertron guys, so this could be a buy for me.
Ah, but what am I thinking? I'd only want the Prime and Blurr. Eh, maybe if it goes on clearance. Rather get other TF's with my money though.
Ruination04:
How many times are they gonna use that Armada Cyclonus mold???? If the RiD Cars are gone from too many uses this thing should be on it's last legs as well!!

It was created by retooling Armada Cyclonus into Buzzsaw from Beast Wars, but as a copter instead of a Hornet.
As for Armada Cyclonus, they could have more than 1 mold of the guy on hand.
Mospeada:
I am still buying this, but isn't that Armada Sideswipe mold for Runamuck really considered like the worst mold of the last 20 freaking years? I have the Oil Slick of that mold, and it's completely gimptastic. It's about as exciting as Twintwist and Topspin in bot mode.
MagnusPrimal:
Well, there's some money saved.
Meh.

Fort Max:
Massive lolz at those people who were going on about this maybe being G1 Universe repaints, epic lolz in fact

Scourgatron:
I might buy this because the only figure I have from the set is the Cybertron repaint of Bendy Prime. No need for that stupid fucking trailer on my shelf.

AutobotMarine:
Hmm, I dig Prime, Blurr, Longrack and I can deal with Buzzsaw. But the Armada Sideswipe remold has gotta go, why couldn't they reissue Cybertron Sideways or Thunderblast in favor for that crap?

(i recall telling folks i picked it up for 40% off and STILL felt ripped off...)
Transfotaku:
Anyone know the price the box is going to be? For $50 I'd avoid it. For $30 I'd consider it, and for $20, I'd think about buying multiple boxes.

Because I have the Yellow Costco Repaint of that one, and it looks great in bot mode, it's freaking huge. I didn't know people didn't like that mold.

It has improved. Runamuck's head is better than Armada Sideswipe's. Quote:

I did ... back in the thread where we found out about the Sam's Club 5-Pack.
