    If there are any IDW bigwigs reading this I'll write Daily Minicon Shananigans for you for half pay.

    I don’t think it has. I think Takara just doesn’t know what to do with it right now.

    Well hopefully they just saving it for the 20th anniversary in 2022. Even better if it get hauled back to the drawing board and be upgraded to Masterpiece standard for that purpose.

    I'd say thrust if they do include it with anyone given Starscream would most likely come with a variant of the star saber. I picture the minicon teams being standalone releases though
    I hope not. I like affording cool toys, myself

    I don't know about anyone else but after dealing with 3P masterpiece over the years takara as been less and less pleasing to me in looks and engineering.

    Well Takara's efforts have been mostly Sunbow, which.. I'm gonna say it, Sunbow models don't look good. They cheat too much of their designs and don't have enough to effectively work with. Later series fared better in that regard, so with them venturing further perhaps we'll see a return to form?

    I at least liked Takara's Lio Convoy and Black Arachnia.

    I'm getting FansHobby Armada since I think it looks cool and I'm not gonna wait for Takara.

    I know it's a little off-topic, but I hope if Hasbro's planning their own Armada line they reacquire the rights to the game and give it a full remake with better controls.

    They own Transformers and they own Transformers Armada, but I think whatever Atari is these days owns that game. Like how Disney apparently own the English dub of CRID.

    Ah, damn. I'd say they could redo it from scratch (probably for the better) but it'd still be missing that iconic music. That sweet, sweet Antarctic synth escalating into heavy metal. *headbanging furiously*

    Lol they can't even keep the Activision games on Steam, so I doubt they'll even consider touching any video games that's not mobile.

    I can dream yo. But they could really easily just throw """""""Atari""""""" $40 for the rights then throw it up on psn.

    Holy Hell this thing certainly is a beast, one of the best base mode/micromaster and minicon playsets to date.
