Wow! Thanks for all the great suggestions ... I'll definitely hunt for some of these!

Let us know what you think. Armada is actually one of my favorite lines, in all honesty.

I'd say for Armada any of the Beast Wars repaints. I can only account for the Predacon/TM Megatron repaint though, I could NEVER find them when I had the money.

From Energon, definitely Sharkticon. A great figure with one of the only shark alt-modes. Sky-Bite I think is the only other one, I think. But Sharkticon is one of my two favorite figures, so of course I'd suggest him.

Should have lived in Holland, we had plenty a few years back, discounted even If you're gonna hunt down the Armada Beasts, Rhinox and Terrorsaur are easy. Airazor however is hard to find (it's possible she was shortpacked), but soon I will have her

Any of the Energon Basics. Divebomb makes a cool Classics Banzai-tron.

Armada and Energon Seekers

Rodimus/Checkpoint. Checkpoint is a nice homage to G1 Prowl

Roadblock, looks like the miners from Megatron:Origin

Oh, and I can't believe noone mentioned Omega Supreme or Omega Sentinel.

Slugslinger and Sharkticon would make an interesting Cyclonus and Scourge

Tidal Wave looks nice with the World's Smallest line.

Energon Omega Supreme is boss.

Energon Rodimus is a must have imho. I chose Energon Tidalwave over Armada's version. Though, Energon Starscream isn't disappointing as some ppl may deem, but Takara GF SS towers all SS imho(even the CB KingSS ). A few more Energon Decepticons deserves attention too. Such as: Demolisher dumptruck, Snowcat(Cyclonus), Slugslinger, and the combiners. Energon ShockBlast is also a must have. Arcee is still in scale2me so she's cool. Not really into da scouts class in these 2 lines compared to Cybertron's. I sold my Wingsaber & Prime for a decent price, and i spent some of it on a movie Prime v1, which i'm still quite content with it... the only Armada figs i really dig other dan Tidalwave is the Red Alert. But the awesome redeco from the TRU exclusive solved that problem.


Armada & Energon Still Rocks.

Thanks again for all the great suggestions. I'm waiting until Botcon to see if I can pick up some of these figures for a better deal than on eBay.

I did pick up an Energon Sharkticon (as many suggested) on eBay... and it was totally worth it! Throughout the work day, I've been transforming him back & forth at my desk (what a distraction). He's so detailed; he could easily be upgraded to a Voyager-class sized mold. I love all the paint apps and detailed sculpting. Like many others have commented on the Botcon threads, I think (with a nice head resculpt) he could've made a great redeco for a Botcon Scourge this year. Ah well.

Hope to see some of you at Botcon! (Just checked my credit card for the charge; looks like I'm going. This'll be my first time)

I agree with most of the choices in this thread.

I don't really like most Armada figures, but I did enjoy Demolishor & Thrust. They're neat but neither is by any means a must-have.

Energon on the other hand had a lot of fantastic figures. Many made up for Armada IMO. I like nearly all of the Decepticons minus Insecticon. Galvatron, Dreadwing, Sharkticon, Slugslinger, Starscream, and the other Terrorcons are all great.

On the Autobot side, I have no use for any of the dual-combining deluxes, megas, or ultras. I have Superlink Wheeljack only as a stand-in for CLassics Wheeljack. When he comes out, SL goes into the trash.

I liked Superion, Landmine, Bulkhead, and all the Autobot basics a lot.
