They'll do it as soon as I scrape together enough money to buy an original.
Hopefully before I call it quits.
Chances are that doing so would still be worth it. The original was really good.
I'm still waiting for an Armada Sideways, though I feel it would need to be a Voyager to do the head/rider gimmick justice, though they seem to never do bikes as Voyagers (Other than the Junkions).
do Sideways as a Deluxe with the little built in head, then sell the two minicon headmasters together in a pack as a deluxe
He'd probbaly have to be sold at Voyager Price point just becuase of Rook and Crosswise. Unlike others I don't feel like he can be done without his Minicons since they are essentual to his gimmick, and they can't be sold on their own since they don't have alt modes, its just head, Robot, and Rider. And I don't feel like "Rider" would be enough to justify them sold seperately.
Yeah, they wouldn't sell them separately. But would they actually be willing to do it as a Voyager? The only way it works as a Deluxe at retail today is if the body was smaller and the heads are the size of Spinister's targetmasters, which...would be less than ideal.
I was starting to think we'd see the entire line before the first wave made it to stores.
To be fair, it was pretty well established last year that Age of the Primes would see a “spring release”. These are showing up on time to where they are supposed to (surprisingly). Most release dates from retailers placed the line between March and April, so, again, about on time.
And I know a lot of you aren’t into this sort of nerdy analysis, but…
A reminder that Age of the Primes is a “reset” for Generations. Wave numbering is restarting at one, so stores SHOULD be clearing out Legacy to make way for its replacement. That means that as stores do their spring reset this month, we SHOULD be seeing this line get half decent roll out (YMMV, of course).
That also means that, if there are any last minute Legacy figures you haven’t seen at retail (like the sparsely carried final wave), you might want to stick in an order while they are still available.
I really like how Red Alert Captures the lankier vibe of the animation model, chonky thighs and all. Just wish the chest panels could at least open (can they?).
Hoping he gets an Energon (Prowl) redeco. Hell, give me the Armada Starscream too.

Picked up prima and red at walmart over the last two days, prima feels like a solid investment lol... but red, man .... having had the original, this one damn do I really feel the down grade. Half the bot, for twice the price. And it isn't even a bad toy. It's just... there's no woo woo woo
Heh, redecoing Armada Red Alert into Armada Starscream is certainly an imaginative suggestion.
These are the collector oriented Generations line, dang it! There is to be no fun, here!
What do you think these are, toys?
Finally, Hasbro venturing outside predictable redeco ideas.Heh, redecoing Armada Red Alert into Armada Starscream is certainly an imaginative suggestion.
But I stand by hoping for some Energon attention, maybe a capsule.
* Energon Prowl vs Starscream (AOTP RA/Legacy Armada Starscream)
* Rodimus (Scraphook retool) vs Divebomb (Filch retool)
* Strongarm (Legacy Beachcomber retool) vs Battle Ravage (ROTB Deluxe Cheetor retool)
* Tow-line (Earthrise Ironhide retool) vs. Insecticon (Legacy Bombshell retool)
* Energon Costco Optimus Prime?

I'm not too big a fan of Energon, but if they are going to do it, they should do Hotshot and fish out the Unicron Trilogy Hotshot collection. I'd almost be tempted to get them if they had combining gimmick.
I would really hope if they were gonna do Energon, that not everyone would be half assed retools.
Well, some of them would be the ass. And the legs. And the others - oh, wait, that's not what you meant.
