    If anyone has this figure, can you tell me how to get the electronics to work? I just bought one $5 at the flea market. Put new batteries in it and I can't figure it out. I downloaded the instructions for it, doesn't say. I watched 4 video reviews on him and no one has worked the electronics for him. Anyone, please?

    There's several buttons, most with minicons.
    The purple minicon port on slider will do a launching noise in same time as revealing the missilles
    The turret minicon port will do machinegun sounds when moved right or left
    Pushing the canon back to launch missile will aslo made a firing sound
    Turning the turret will also do sound.

    It's impossible to not find at least one by mistake, so the electronics of yours are probably dead.

    Seems like it, I tried all the minicon ports to see if they would activate sound. RIP. Thanks.

    EDIT: I went to take the batteries out and he shouted "THE POWER IS MINE!" I can't get him to do it again. Do you know part activated that? It happened when the screw driver touched the batteries.

    Now he is malfunctioning and the sound won't stop....

    Sounds like there’s a contact issue. Stuff foil around the battery ends and try

    Bought one recently myself off eBay and the electronics are toast on my copy too. Fresh batteries in and everything just refused to work.

    I think also being how old the figure is these days the electronics themselves might just be deteriorated to an extent.

    I actually just left it alone all night. My 4 yr old woke up before me and I heard her playing with it. And it seems to be working perfect now. Not sure what she did!

    Maybe she’s got the touch? Or maybe it’s the power? Who knows, cool toy now works. Hope you enjoy the gem of a figure :rolleyes:

    It was totally worth it for $5. Wish he had his accessories though, but then he would have been $50 not $5.

    He is a gem. Like it or not, theres a reason why Armada was so damn popular and they shoehorned some BW repaints in

    I got the Micron Legend Takara version complete for I think it was about $35 so I guess I got lucky but he’s still a good figure regardless of what you pay for him in my personal opinion. 5$ is an absolute steal!

    It’d be interesting if there’s a reverse of this in the MP line where they start slotting in Armada into the MP line in response to the feedback about the Beast Wars stuff. A man can dream.

    I am kicking myself, just about 6 months ago I sold all my minicons in 1 lot. This Galvy has so many minicon ports, and now I don't have the minicons :cry .
