I guess they wanted good looking bug legs rather than bulky robot legs as weird big legs like the original toy(even the toon didn’t do that) but they definitely should have had the arms form the front ant legs.

However good ant bug legs leads to having to store the legs in the butt which means the butt jet thruster can’t be in there nor a proper 4th panel. So the thruster gets to be a separate piece and thus they doubled it as his gun which is a fail. I really hope it plugs in to form the butt jetpack…

then as a result of that being his gun he doesn’t get a proper accurate gun nor utilize mandibles in that gun. The gun should have stored in the ant head and has the mandibles form the sides like the toon. kinda a running cause and effect of compromises due to the choice of bug legs.

however he still looks amazing and a great update. The head is so accurate and nice. Makes me think who the F approved Rhinox design when nothing about it hit any mark. Even Terrorsaur who was a partial remold of airazor got a great looking head sculpt. That alone could have made the rhinox figure at least have one thing going for it.

 

I honestly really hope we get a core class of the Star Saber minicons. As for Armada Starscream, I really like it, but there’s some white missing on his legs and the wing sword I do wish was better(hopefully a 3P gets on it and maybe on the Star Saber as well). But these two Voyagers are must haves for me.

 

In Armada, Galvatron sacrificed himself to kill Unicron. In Energon, Megatron got resurrected in a new body, got powered up into Galvatron again, and sacrificed himself to make sure Unicron couldn't return. In Cybertron, after 10 years he emerged from the black hole caused by Unicron's spark going into a sun, merged himself with Unicron's power, and started calling himself Megatron yet again. Then half way through the series he powers up and calls himself Galvatron, AGAIN. Then Optimus Prime kills him but Vector Prime's spark then constantly battles Galvatron's spark for the rest of time so he can never return. UT is weird.

 

Cybertron's best thought of as it's own show as Takara decided to go off in it's own direction for it despite Hasbro wanting it to be continuation of Armada/Energnon. Some toy bios and other ancillary media tried to correct this but it doesn't really work as a sequel to the aforementioned two.

Believe the Megatron to Galvatron cycle was just so they could keep the trademark on the two names.

 

Legacy Metroplex: “Why no Cyber Key or Minicon??!!! Not buying.“

Legacy Override: “Why no Cyber Key???!!!! Not buying.“

Legacy Starscream: “Why no Minicon, wing sword, or spring-loaded gimmicks???!!! Not buying.“

And then Unicron Trilogy fans wonder why Hasbro primarily caters to G1 fans instead most of the time.

 

Does it look like Inferno's ant chest is supposed to open in robot mode?

 

Master Galvatron

 

I believe it opens to fold in the ant mandibles

 

I know this is jumping the gun a bit, but I hope we get a Selects Antagony figure at some point from Legacy Inferno

 

I believe that already got leaked, along with Packrat.

 

Super disappointed with the Starscream. His wing doesn\'t double as the sword? Seriously?!?!

 

For the royalty...sweet, been waiting on inferno

 

Nice! Scream even has a wrist tilt this time! 

 

Thanks, wasn't sure about that one.

 

This one also lacks his signature weapon. The gun is actually just his butt jet (and I hope it at least plug into the right place in bot mode as its already unfortunate it doesn’t store there in ant mode. The signature gun should be a big single barreled gun with the ant claws in the front sides of it

 

Instant buy, that's Armada Starscream alright.

 

Because they are willing to go above and beyond to include G1 gimmicks on their figures while leaving Unicron Trilogy fans in the dust?

I might hold out and see what Fans Hobby does. They always go out of their way to include central features in some way. And the paint work is usually better.

 

He has his flamethrower. Therefore he's complete.

 

He doesnt…. That’s his butt jetpack thruster which he had in the show only to fly around with and never removed to hold.

Look up the flame thrower. This ain’t it.

 

Except their central gimmicks sometimes don't get included, and lately when it comes to including pack in partner figures, those releases exist outside of the normal price point structures (Targetmaster Cyclonus and Artfire for example).
