I don't see how anybody could be disappointed by them. It's pretty clear from the packaging (and everything on this site) what they are and what the purchaser is getting. I don't really see why YFG said he was "ripped off".


Agreed Leo. It's not as if the Protoforms are being advertised as anything other than what they are. I understand people not liking them but being disappointed by them I think is a little strong. Disappointment is hoping for an Attaktix Megatron and not getting one in your blind pack, or Attaktix in general.
I also agree that Deluxe Scorpanoks' 'robot' mode will take the movie toy let down cake. If you thought the Pretenders had **** transformations, wait until you get a load of this one.....

For my picks, I'll say BM Nightscream, Cyb Backstop, any and all Minicons, any version of the G1 Blast off mold that has camoflague paint (who needs a camoed space shuttle?????), and the Energon Autobot deluxe combinations.


But Scorponok's alt mode is sweet.


True that.

He's an embarrassment, he really is.

Overbite and Dreadwing are cool though :)
Good call! :APPLAUSE: I don't know why they stick animal parts on them without making sure it doesn't end up looking possibly ridiculous instead of cool.

Really? It's a good job I only have the Deluxe one, then. Why's the Leader so bad?


Leader lack of detail, lack of articulation. The grill comes off easaly. The plastik isn't ass good as the deluxe. The "tower" in his trailer falls apart if you look at it. The minicrap*****con falls apart. Need more?


Nope, that's all I needed!


Who there, hold up chicos.

Armada Leader Class Prime rocks the house! He's the big mama-jamma ol' modern version of none other than STAR CONVOY.

Why you might ask, is he the toy that all the cool kids own? Well, I'll be happy to tell you:

1. You can make him talk. His face-plate is articulated. It does a very fun "chomp-chomp" motion.

2. He is Star Convoy. Find some pics, compare his base modes, alt mode combination ability, and super mode stature.

3. Transforming the cab section, automatically makes the base transform if you are with a few feet. It rocks. It is one of the coolest, most fun gimmicks ever.

4. Super-pants mode. I don't really have to say more, do I?

5. Overload ability. Ever thought Prime needed a backpack with guns as tall as himself? Me too. A. Prime is your man.

6. Only insane people say that the deluxe has better plastic. (Fun Fact: The deluxe A. Prime can't move his legs forward due to a design flaw and plastic infringement)

7. His minicon (apparently contrary to the current audience here and now) is widely regarded as one of the best in Armada.

I can easily take pictures of Leader class Armada Prime being awesome to the max, over any pictures that could be coughed up from deluxe Prime.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.


So, you can't understand the idea of Protoforms? And you didn't look at the package you bought, recognizing that you were buying things that kind of look like rocks/meteors?

Sorry dude, you're just not good at buying things.

True about the legs, but all you need to do is cut a little pice of and it's cool.
As for the transforming trailer, I prefer to transform Transformers my self, but the overloedbacpak is cool. But not part of the acual toy.

Hm, I disagree that Delux Armada Prime is a bad figure. The Cab Prime has a lot of articulation, Superpants Prime has a huge number of useful mini-con ports, a automatic transformation gimmick that's pretty amusing to watch - need I go on?

The proto-form movie figures really don't do anything for me. I can understand someone who watches the movie wanting to collect them, but not me.

But the figure that I would never want to own would be that horrid delux Beast Machines Cheetor - yuk.

You might be right about the Leader version. I don't have him so I don't know. What I do have, however, is two questions:

1.) What do you mean by the Deluxe version not being able to move his legs forward? They seem to go forward on mine. They are limited going backwards by the piece of plastic with the Minicon peg on, but given that that moves with the legs anyway, it's not an issue.

2.) What is a chico?

1. Look near the top part of the grey portion of Prime's upper thigh. There is a nub there that raises up about 1/3 of an inch. Just try to make Prime sit down with a 90 degree bend to his hips; he won't be able to do it.

2. Ask your nearest Mexican.

I don't have any nearest Mexicans. I don't know anyone who isn't a middle-class Caucasian. :-(

I'll try to make Prime sit for tea tonight. I know I can make him walk, but I've never tried to make him perform the Can Can.

STAR CONVOY!?!?!?!?

How the hell is Armada 'Superpants' Prime in ANYWAY related to Star Convoy?

By your logic I could claim he was based on Powermaster Prime, cuase you know, he has a trailer that transforms into a base and his trousers, and truck front that transforms into a smaller robot, and a pointless little robot (actully Sparkplug IS one of the nicest minicons there is).

If you actully owned Star Convoy you'd clearly be able to see he is NOTHING like A Superpants Prime...

Asf for dumbest tf... Well some of the minicons, ESPECILLY the classics ones, really take some beating. Cybertron Metroplex also deserves an honerable mention for wasteing so much money on something so very lame. Id have settled for a slightly more articulated G1 Metroplex over that peice of rubbish.

Easy. It used to be Action Master Inferno that I bought new as a kid, did not realize what I was doing wrong that he would not transform...almost made me cry, that did.

Now, it would be a tie: Both protoform SS and Prime from the film.

What pieces of s*** these are. Even a blind, horny, eppileptic mule with a fetish for rocklords would hate these.

"a blind, horny, eppileptic mule with a fetish for rocklords"

Good God!!!! Where do you live man???!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:


Crappiest transformer ever, I don't really know for sure..I guess any Brick formers, Optimus Prime apex armor fits, star convoy fits, Star Saber "whose a favorite" fits.. Only i would buy the RM Star Saber, he's better and has articulation.. any bot that only has one redeamable form is a Crappy Transfomrer, and that means bot or alt mode.. so yeah I would place the comet former protoforms here, and not just because they are super loose jointed in bot mode..

Or if the legs have only one position ^ or II then you have a crappy TF...there should be a fair amount of leg movement for style and posability as well as arm movement.. G-1 should be exempt, considering those first line up were toys from like 1982 0r 83 and were very basic, yet revolutionary for its day..

there was something I saw the other day that was sooo funny it had to do with the guy who accidentilly F$^*ed up bumblebees head in sculpting the toy..and gave him the wierd face..

Oh and Apex armor/God Ginrai is f***ing sweet! Whatever you are smoking MUST be an illicit substance...

Bot of his alts are great, and his bot mode is too sweet. Heck, remove the apex armor and his "pants", and you have Powermaster Prime!

How can you hate that? A two-for-one.

Putting aside the fact that you're being a twat...

Here are some pictures. Are they exactly the same? No. Is Armada Prime CLEARLY inspired by Star Convoy...yeeeessss.

To add more into this:

Armada Prime -> Overload -> Jetfire
All combined in alt mode for the big Convoy carrier mode

Star Convoy -> Grandus -> Sky Garry
All combined in Alt mode for the big Convoy carrier mode

Maybe someone out there should be better informed before hollaring about like that.

and for the record, I own Star Convoy and at least 3 versions of Armada Prime.

How can you hate that? A two-for-one.


his format should be revised in the RM line, like so many others that have had articulation enhancements, and likeness enhancements and even better body sculpting and proportions adjusted to match their animation counter parts.. granted God Ginrai is a cool character, but when you factor in costs, his pants and apex armor, he really ends up lacking..

Any transformer, that includes brick foirmer pants and armor, is a waste... sorry... thats how i feel, if it comes in the packlage, you pay for it, then it should have articulation and be a better bot then prime in deluxe without trailer whose body, paint apps, and articualtion are better...

I was weaving in and out of Armada/Head masters/ and any other series that does that with primes or Gestalts..

who wants a stationary bot, its like a staue!!! blech!!!

Besides Omega Prime has issues, but at least you can get some posability out of him, and Ultra magnus has a few issues regarding the leg articulations, but he's still a badass...

Image
Image


good articulation, perfect transformation, paint applications, size, relative scale, Likeness to cartoon, and design are what makes a great transformer, there is no one bad transformer, if they lack any of the above then they are worthles..Just becaue a Tformer has gimmics and is moderately cool in bot mode before the armor or "pants" go on, doesn't make them a great transformer.... thats how I see it..

Yep, Star Convoy and Armada Leader Prime do look a lot a like(don't have Star though). Saw a pic once that even compared what the two looked like with Sky Garry and Grandus attached to Star Convoy(I think) in vehicle mode, and Overload and Jetfire attached to Armada Prime. The resemblence was even more so.

But I prefer Armada Prime's base to Star Convoy's. Don't really understand why he has to be connected to the base(I see it's how he's designed, but still). Wouldn't that be a bad thing? "Oh no, the Decepticons are attacking the base! Autobots, roll out! But, uh, I can't exactly lead you until you all leave the premise...."

As much as I like Leader class Prime, a BIG flaw is that fact that he can't raise his rifle when he's in supermode. Other than that, he's a fun dude. And Sparkplug is awsome, one of the reasons why I wanted Armada Prime. It's amazing I found him and Prime at a yard sale last year missing only one missle, everything else intact. You just get lucky sometimes I guess.

But on topic, dumbest Transformers? Throttlebots, hands down. Zero articulation, no feet, barely any hands, just cheap. The only thing they got going for them is that I like the idea and design of them, and wish they had gone for a gimmickless approach.

How the hell is Armada 'Superpants' Prime in ANYWAY related to Star Convoy?

By your logic I could claim he was based on Powermaster Prime, cuase you know, he has a trailer that transforms into a base and his trousers, and truck front that transforms into a smaller robot, and a pointless little robot (actully Sparkplug IS one of the nicest minicons there is).

If you actully owned Star Convoy you'd clearly be able to see he is NOTHING like A Superpants Prime...


Putting aside the fact that you're being a twat...

Here are some pictures. Are they exactly the same? No. Is Armada Prime CLEARLY inspired by Star Convoy...yeeeessss.

To add more into this:

Armada Prime -> Overload -> Jetfire
All combined in alt mode for the big Convoy carrier mode

Star Convoy -> Grandus -> Sky Garry
All combined in Alt mode for the big Convoy carrier mode

Maybe someone out there should be better informed before hollaring about like that.

and for the record, I own Star Convoy and at least 3 versions of Armada Prime.


Man do they need to revise both of those guys.. :shock:

There are actually mold revisions to Prime that fix that issue.

The first release of Leader Prime suffered from this, but it was corrected later in the line.

Really? I had no idea! Well, if I ever find(and have the cash for) the repaint of Prime cheap(with Corona Sparkplug of course), that's one reason to pick him up.

My bro has him and the only difrencies I can spot between myn and his is the colors and the fact that the joints are flopier than the regular. His chest plate just fals of everytime you move him. But the minicon is a lot beter than the first.

Agreed. Actually seeing both of those figures together makes me want them. God, I am so weak.

Thanks for the comparison shots Counterpunch.

I have checked this out now and I can't see what you're talking about. He sits at 90 degrees just fine (as I thought he did).

Apologies for the poor quality images. I snapped them on my mobile telephone.
