What ring?
It's a square. Turned on one of its corners.
And don't forget that that the Mini-Cons had zero ties to Unicron in the Armada comics, which came out before the cartoon started.
And that's if the Primus toy was planned from the get-go.
Unicron, for instance, wasn't part of the original plan for Armada back when it started up. The decision to add him to the line was first conceived at a much later stage after Armada had already begun (the original vision for the line...
The Supreme class Starscream toy was a launch item for the toyline, released at the beginning of the line before the cartoon had even started airing in the U.S.
EDIT: Now that I've found the release dates of everything, let me paint a complete picture.
The Galaxy Force toyline started in Japan...
Pretty sure it's just a matter of wanting to stay true to both Beast Wars Second (which first said the stuff is Earth's life energy) and Neo (which later said the stuff is Unicron's energy), even if that makes little sense.
It feels like the only sensible explanation for how it could be both is...
It also didn't help that most people didn't even want that giant Starscream at first, wishing Hasbro had just released the Voyager class toy from Galaxy Force. It wasn't until Starscream finally went big in the cartoon halfway through the series (months after the toy's release) that people...

Keep in mind, guys, that Netflix wasn't the production company for the WFCT cartoon, Rooster Teeth was. And the studio who did the animation for it was Polygon Pictures, the same Japanese studio that animated TF: Prime. Netflix just had exclusive dibs to stream the show.
At that point, I'd rather we just get a dedicated new-mold Commander class RID01 Optimus Prime, with a pretooled alternate Defensor head for the Super Mode that would finally enable this to be made a reality:
