Except that a lot of those had no knees. Or waist rotation. Or elbows. Or head rotation. Or rotation in certain key joints. Unicron was the only exceptional mold of that line, with every other figure pretty much lacking the level of articulation that the Beast Era and RiD were known for, due to the Mini-Con activation gimmick inhibiting certain motions. Many felt as brick-like as the typical G1 figures of the 1980s. Thank goodness for the Energon line bringing back top notch levels of articulation.
I think of Armada is being a sort of pivotal phase in TF development; it sort of straddled the line between the old brickformers and the more articulated figures that followed. I, for one, welcome our new Armada overlor.... I mean, I, for one, welcome the idea of remaking Armada figures with updated molds.
Some Armada figures I'd love to see updated:
Airazor
Blurr
Megatron/Galvatron
(I'd say HotShot, but it's already been done!)
Jetfire
Predacon
Snarl
Swoop
Triceradon
TIDAL WAVE (HELLS YEAH!!!)
and, of course, Deluxe Starscream repainted as Thundercracker and Skywarp
