Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

They werent all nasty though. The seekers were pretty good, I still love my Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarps.
Tidal Wave was great, Im sorry I sold mine on now.

There were a few that were good, but yeah most of them suffered. Even the Seekers could have benefited from a swivel joint on the thigh.
Red Alert is one of the more articulated figs in that line.
But yeah Most were really affected by the Minicon's Gimmicks.
Even Leader Prime was pretty much a brick, in Normal and Super Mode. A Little less bricky when combined with Jetfire.

Red Alert was an excellent figure and I prefer the Armada Version over Cybertron Defense.

Blasphemy! Dildomatron... erm CD Red Alert is my fave tf in the cyb line, which totaly craps all over armada!
Anyway, on a more serious note; Armada was intended to be for a younger aiudience that BW, BM and RiD. As such it needed to be hardier and simpler.
So many Armada designs could have achived this and had better posability than they do mind.

I liked the look and feel of Armada RA. CD was too bulky with the missle getup IMO

The future.
Many Armada toys could be handled by children at the bottom of the age bracket or even below.
You ever see a kid play with RiD toys? Nope, not me either. They were too hard.
Get young kids hooked on the easy stuff and in a year, they'll buy energon toys (more complex), then later, Cybertron (again, more complex).
It boils down to marketing to the right group.
Well, that and articulation is over rated.
Victory Leo shits all over most toys, and he has 2 real points of articulation.
