Thought we would see it for the 20th like G1... The generations voyager prototype isn't very exciting without a trailer, and it'll be a cheaper leader/commander class anyways. I just want a supermode that can hit the pose from the side box art, you know? The third party attempt didn't cut it in my opinion.

Probably never. With the Commander figure supposedly coming out soon, I think Armada Prime will get all the love he's gonna get. Maybe we'll get a black nemesis repaint, but that it.

I'f I was a gambling man, I'd put some money on Takara taking Hasbro's commander Prime, giving it a premium paint job, maybe tweaking it a little, and releasing it as an MP.

But since this isn't Vegas, I won't do that.

Probably best not to take that bet. Pre "brand unification" between Hasbro and Takara Tomy that would have been a possibility as we saw that in the early Masterpiece Movie line, but today whatever turns up is going to be the same between both companies.

They did tweak the constructions well into brand unification... but yeah, it's not a likely bet. Though it would be nice to see them do that.
