Wasn't aware that Classic, Real Gear or Grand Max were part of the Armada-verse. Nice collection though. Way to many repaints for me to ever bother with completion.

Your Brave Maximus requires a sword! Or at least a gun!

Classics are all in essentially the same styling as AEC, so why not? I leave one or two of the Real Gear as part of Classics.
Considering just how many toys I have...the only real place to keep Max is atop the shelving.

I never saw why he should. He didn't weild either in the show.

Brave Max needs NOTHING! He is perfect as is. Anyone who says otherwise..... is silly. Don't be silly folks.

But I want to be silly and give him a sword!

You know the funny thing is I only have one realgear so far. Spyshot and I have him in amoung my classics as well. And I notice the Armada Prime is setup the same way mine is too. With the Jetfire pants and Overload on the shoulders.

Very nice

I like most of the Armada/E/C toys and these pics just show how many cool characters there were in those shows - too bad the shows themselves weren't equally interesting (for me anyway)... but yeah - the toys are good.
I mainly have Cybertron. Maybe three Armada figures a handful of Energon, but Cybertron was the best line IMO. (well I have all of the classics too)

Those Classic seekers make me cry...
I know, I know, it isnt you fault.
Anyway, has anybody else noticed how pisspoor Starscream's paintjob is compaired to the other 5 seekers?

Are u missing the Yellow Thread Bolt from Energeon? Cause I got him with his accessories and the box oughta be around some where (dunno if i have the instructions)
anywho i would be happy to sell or trade if u are interested-u do seem to be quite the completionist
I also have the overload in magnus paint, although he is not mint, my son has played with him too much and he is missing the connector between the truck and trailer and the barrel of one side of the collarbone guns, if u know what i mean.

Ah I did, he sticks out like a sore thumb unfortunately. The seekers just got better every time they got repainted. Notto throw it in your face or anything, but I think Thundercracker is even better than Skywarp.

I'm taken!
I've been wanting to put these kind of pictures up for a while.
I think it's really cool to see the last 4 or so years of concurrent lines displayed. Especially because these toys get a lot of undeserved flak.
The thing is, taken together, they look really good.
EDIT: Holy Crap, I didn't realize I left out the picture of the Classic Seekers shelf in its entirety...
Damn, I'll fix that tonight.

Man I am so going to rob your hous, if I find out were you live.
Man there are so many repaints I've never even heard of!
But the most interesting fig is that Armada Megatron repaint, not the Galvatron on but the one on the far left. Which line is it from and is it a new carecter?

MegaZarak.
OTFC exclusive from 2004. He's technically a 'Universe' toy I suppose. He's a 'con exclusive, no matter how you cut it.

Man he is cool! I just love my A Megs but that paint looks so very cool, but I would just change two things about it, the leg articulation (unicron.com has a briliant mod for that) and the paint at that chest, it shuld be darker.

Nice collection CP! I tend to display mine by line, but they do look great displayed together. It's like the Persian army...
I have a sealed E-Treadbolt that I would sell you for under retail, I've been trying to unload it for a while now. It's all yours if you want it.

I had a lot of fun collecting those lines. Only a few more things to go that I have no inspiration to get (Cyb. Starscream/VP pack, Gold Armada Super Optimus, etc).
I like your display scheme though. I think I shall copy the idea whenever I get around to putting all my stuff up again XD
