    After Victory Saber's success, a Commander Deathsaurus with all the fixins would be very easy to picture, in my opinion.

    Few good ideas like the minicon port mouunted smokestack handguns but why the combiner wars stuff? Hell, by the time he rolls out, CW is gonna be outdated thanks to Menasor. I think backwards compatibility with the old Armada stuff will just hamper the toy rather than make this one as secure as possible.

    Thinking the thought process is to use the combiner wars system to decrease complexity and allow it to be more realistically in budget for the pricepoints without having giant trailer flaps or hampering articulation, though that's just from someone not in the head of the person making the concept sketches so eh. Also somewhat agree on the backwards compatibility, it's a neat idea but would require too much effort to keep the scaling right, make sure it wouldn't be too top heavy now, or any other number of issues, for a glorified easter egg.

    Okay, maybe I could do without the backwards compatibility with OG Armada Jetfire, but I'm just in love with the concept sketches because the big problem with an updated Armada Optimus is the trailer. Like, the trailer and Super Optimus Prime is practically integral to Armada Optimus that shunting it off would feel like we're missing something vital. But at the same time, the last time Hasbro and Takara did a trailer that turned into a big pair of pants, it was decidedly not great. (Like, Baltmatrix's copy set something of his on fire. I think his curtains?)

    Turning the trailer into modular components can help mitigate most if not all the problems the OG Armada Optimus' trailer had, like the fact that it was mostly flaps, it won't set stuff on fire, you'll actually be able to pull off poses.

    I'll concede that maybe the CW combiner plugs will get antiquated once Legacy Menasor pops up, but I still like the idea of turning the trailer into modular components like Siege Ultra Magnus (and maybe more fittingly, Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime).

    But yeah, if everything else fails, I would like to see Takara Armada Optimus be repurposed as a HasLab project.

    Blanket but it sounds like he kept the thing locked up rather than unlocking it to do the motor so it wasn't entirely on the toy.
