Armada Unicron test shot

 

Did you fucking rob a Hasbro vault or something?

 

Hahaha, I wish. This is my first ever test shot.

Not hidden, but removed from the final product:

Armada Unicron's leg compartments used to have spring-loaded doors, to make minicons disappear in a blink.

Wheeljack Downshift Cliffjumper is my first ever Superlink version of a figure and I was really surprised to find out that Takara promoted mixing up combining Megas with Deluxes. I wonder how good that would have looked if they did that in the show because some of these characters were the same size or only slightly larger when they animated them. What a pose on Inferno/Jetfire! Infernofire?





I also did this...

 

Hey, there's a Transformer with Galaxy in his name! Galaxy Convoy!

 

Very Rad

 

Imagine a world where we got updates of the Energon characters to the standard of Legacy Override.

 

I'm optimistic we'll see updates of the big name Energon characters in time and I'd love it if they turn out as well as Legacy Override.

It was a difficult choice (so hard not to pick Megatron or Starscream) but I think Rodimus could stand to benefit the most. Such a great design that looked very cool on the show but in toy form he's got next to no upper arms or legs.




I've always though this looked awesome so it would be neat if he could still combine with old energon figures just in case they never get around to doing the likes of Prowl again.

 

I wouldn’t mind a new voyager Energon Starscream.

 

I would love an update to Energon Rodimus.

 

I would happily take an Energon Rodimus update and make it my main Rodimus figure as I never cared for his G1 look.

 

That would probably end up being my favourite figure of all time. Imagine the face sculpt... Come on Hasbro, you release so many Starscreams, a year just do it.
Really psyched for the new Armada Starscream, I wonder how his sword will turn out and if we can get a good prop of the Starsaber.

It's really interesting now because we have so many good faithful plastic renditions of G1 guys of a similar size to their Unicron trilogy counterparts so we can put them side by side on a shelf. Most of the UT guys do look like massive upgrades. Like if I place Siege Shockwave next to Energon Shockblast, my imagination starts going, it looks like Shockwave underwent a bunch of extreme experiments on himself and went crazy.

 

Bought Energon Snowcat off Transformerland, just showed up in the mail today. I like it, but the back half of the vehicle mode doesn't want to hold together, and I can't find anything meant to secure it. Is that the case or am I mistransforming it?

 

Arms and cannon support lock together. Once you fold down the cannons, friction with the feet will keep everything together. If you deploy the cannons you will lose stability, but it'd not meant to be swooshed around...
