Me either. I suggested that someone take a pic of Cybertron Jetfire wrestling with Titans Return Skullcruncher and Krok (both of whom are crocodilian-alt) because of Jetfire's thick Aussie - er, sorry, Nebulan - accent, and Tigerhawk apparently thinks that would annoy you.Burn wrote:

Well, that too. But it specifically had to be Jetfire doing it.Rodimus Prime wrote:And here I thought it was more of a reference due to the involvement of Krok and Skullcruncher, who are both crocodiles.
It wasn't aimed at Burn, I swear. I just thought it would be funny to have Cybertron Jetfire wrestling crocodiles because the show gave him a stereotypical thick Australian accent, slang and all.Rodimus Prime wrote:Either way, I also felt it was a bit of mockery, but I figured Burn is a big boy and he can handle it himself.

Yeah, if they didn't have to accommodate the figures for the ability to combine, I think we would have gotten more solid figures. And even the ones that didn't have that, like Megatron and Scorponok, were kind of awkward. To this day the only Energon figure I own is Rodimus and a customized Shockwave. I used to have a whole box full of them, but a long time ago I gave them all to a kid I knew whose mom couldn't afford to buy him toys.Burn wrote:The Powerlinking gimmick really hurt Energon's potential.

Well, thank you for that. I've wanted to take photos of them fighting ever since 2017.Tigerhawk7109 wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I think it's more that Tigerhawk, who is more aware than I that you're Australian, was expecting you to be annoyed by my joking comparison of Jetfire to Steve Irwin because of Jetfire's stereotypical accent.
Yeah, I'm really sorry about that.
Snarl v. Wolfwire (It's my preferred name for him,) is awesome. I'm no good with photos, unfortunately.
Some people don't like the fact that his super mode legs are completely inarticulate. I'm personally not bothered by it considering what else it has to do (plus it looks good), and I think the motorized transformation is epic. And a lot of people do love him.Tigerhawk7109 wrote:What exactly makes Armada OP so bad? I've seen a bunch of people diss him, but I've got no idea why.

Exactly the view I was talking about, though with less vitriol than I saw on TFW2005. I hardly think it's useless.Burn wrote:Tigerhawk7109 wrote:What exactly makes Armada OP so bad? I've seen a bunch of people diss him, but I've got no idea why.
Over-sized useless gimmick. Best way to explain it.
Only in super mode. The cab robot's legs work just fine.Burn wrote:The legs were locked in position.
1. IMO you're getting a bit apples-to-oranges by comparing G1 Optimus' cab robot to Armada Optimus' super mode; it would be more fair to compare the super mode to Ultra Magnus. Cab to cab, Armada may not have elbow rotation, but IMO he wins out by having outward arm movement as well as hip articulation that's good for more than just transformation (which makes his knees actually useful).Burn wrote:G1 Optimus Prime was miles ahead in articulation than this guy.
Some of us think it's quite cool At least, when not impaired by leaked batteries because we stored it unused for a couple years with batteries inBurn wrote:The "can automatically transform" gimmick was just terrible.
Rodimus Prime wrote:I love combining Prime with Jetfire. Great combination, and the Armada Jetfire is the best Jetfire figure we have gotten, in my opinion. And of course adding Overload on top as a pair of shoulder cannons is awesome, plus if you get them all linked up in vehicle mode, he can carry Jetfire. Pulled off the combination gimmick a lot better than Energon, and probably even Cybertron. And I love me some Nemesis Bendy Prime, I wish we would have gotten him in full-size, even if he didn't get a trailer, considering the character got his own episode.
His redeco as TFCC Astrotrain was pretty neat as well, even though it's not accurate, because he's not a triplechanger. But his colors pop really well. I actually regret having sold him a few years ago.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I love combining Prime with Jetfire.

Armada Jetfire is so good, I love that figure! the alt mode is joy, and the robot mode is really cool. And he makes great legs, though i like keeping him separate.
